Football dominated by #14 Villanova 42-7

By Alex Simon

In a complete reversal from the previous week’s upset, the Elon University football team got shellacked by Villanova University Saturday afternoon, falling behind by 35 at half and losing the game 42-7 at Rhodes Stadium. In front of 10,424 fans — Elon’s seventh-largest crowd for Family Weekend — the Wildcats scored on all five of its first half drives, thoroughly silencing a relatively raucous Elon fanbase. “Well obviously, it was a disappointing effort in every phase of the game,” said head coach Rich Skrosky.

Journalism legend Bob Woodward discusses political topics at Fall Convocation

By Emmanuel Morgan

“All the President’s Men,” a book and movie documenting Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Bob Woodward’s and Carl Bernstein's investigation of the Watergate scandal, has been nominated for Academy Awards and hailed internationally by critics. But for Woodward, the movie helped him win something else in the 1970s, too. “During that era, I could get a date on the telephone with almost anyone,” Woodward said, chuckling. “And then I would show up at the door, and the date would look, and then I would see disappointment.”
