Elon student’s documentary, 'We Will Prevail,' chosen for RiverRun International Film Festival

By Jessica Petrocchi

In the state of North Carolina, gay couples still await their right to be married. Elon University junior Madeline Carlin follows a Winston-Salem couple, Frank Benedetti and Gary Trowbridge, through the story of their almost 50-year relationship in her short documentary, “We Will Prevail.” “I chose the topic of gay marriage because Amendment One passed last spring and there was just a lot going on about it and I thought it would make a really great topic,” Carlin said. Amendment One, also known as the North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage Amendment, was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that was passed in May 2012. The measure defines marriage as a union of one man and one woman.

Kirby Wahl, assistant professor of performing arts and director of the play said Tracy Letts, the writer of “August,” uses a difficult family dynamic to question the nature of people’s social structure. “Everybody has their own story,” he said.

Phoenix take two of three from The Citadel

By Andrew Wilson

The Elon University baseball team is making a habit of scoring runs early and often. Most recently in it’s weekend series at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., the Phoenix got on the board in the first inning in two of the three games en route to taking two of three from the Bulldogs. In game one of the series, leadoff man Quinn Bower singled to lead off the game and worked his way around the bases to be knocked in on a fielder’s choice by junior first baseman Ryan Kinsella. The Bulldogs got the run back in the bottom of the second inning and the game stayed tied at one until the sixth inning when Kinsella scored junior center fielder Sebastian Gomez on a groundout to second base. The Citadel again responded an inning later, but this time took a 5-2 lead on three singles in the first four batters of the inning on Elon senior pitcher Dylan Clark.
