Optimism still surrounds Elon football's final SoCon slate

By Tommy Hamzik

With a 1-4 record entering a lame duck season of play in the Southern Conference, one would not think that the Elon University football team would have much motivation for the final seven games. But this squad is unique. Head coach Jason Swepson’s team will play solely SoCon games for the rest of the season, the Phoenix’s last season in the league before moving to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in 2014.

Giants must wake up if they want the playoffs

By Kyle Maher

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m a New York Giants fan. Always have been, always will be. Before coming to Elon, I would watch every game on the same couch in the same room with my father and my recently deceased grandfather.

Pesky Colts are surprising the NFL yet again in 2013

By Max Garland

As usual, the NFL is off to a very confusing start. The Kansas City Chiefs, the worst team by record last year, are undefeated despite the woes of its offensive line, a supposed strength at the start of the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at a potential clean-house scenario in the offseason, the worst possible scenario for a club that prides itself on stability and constant championship contention. And the Indianapolis Colts, everyone’s favorite candidate for regression in 2013, just blew out the San Francisco 49ers, the defending NFC champions.

The incredible journey: Elon students to embark across India unaided in Adventurists' Rickshaw Run

By Abby Franklin

Most Elon University students are familiar with Bio-Carts, the small vehicles used by members of Elon’s maintenance staff to travel around campus. If you pluck this little electric vehicle out of the “Elon bubble” and place it in Northeast India, people would probably call it an auto rickshaw — a three-wheeled cabin vehicle that serves as an essential form of urban transport in many developing countries. This January during Winter Term, five Elon students will be driving two auto rickshaws nearly 2,000 miles in less than two weeks in an ultimate adventure called the Rickshaw Run in India. Seniors Maria Castine, Will Stirn, Ben Donahue, Jack Halligan and junior Jordan Nulsen will be making this journey.

Students, staff address causes of discrimination on campus

By Katherine Blunt

Students, faculty and staff at Elon University converged today to discuss the matter of diversity on campus in the wake of an incident of racial and religious bias. The forum was not only a response to the incident in which a Jewish student and a black student found a swastika, the letters “KKK” and male genitalia drawn on a whiteboard outside their dorm in Colonnades D. It was an effort to address the causes of the acts of discrimination and bias that have occurred on campus during the last several years. “The culture of apathy is part of the blame for something like this,” said sophomore Bobby King.

Elon University physics major explores connection between quantum, classical physics in SURF project

Junior Muhammad Awal Tahiru’s project for this year’s Student Undergraduate Research Forum is focusing on how small-scale things move and how to bridge together quantum physics and classical physics. Classical physics deals with the predictable behavior of human-scale objects; whereas, quantum physics deals with probabilities of the smaller, atomic world of particles. These two types don’t always fit together, according to chair of the department of physics and astronomy Martin Kamela, who served as Tahiru’s research mentor.
