RVP's role with Manchester United being questioned

By Jordan Spritzer

When Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in Summer 2012, the Dutch striker said he, “listened to the little boy inside of me — and he screamed Manchester United.” Well, it seems this 30-year-old is still acting like a child.  RVP has seemed unhappy at United this year, something he has in common with the rest of the red half of Manchester.  Everybody expected a transition period with new manager David Moyes taking over, but nobody expected United to be fighting for a place in the Europa League. RVP has battled through a reoccurring thigh injury, and when he has been healthy, his fitness has been less than stellar.

Elon's new all-female a cappella group takes stage

By Xanthia Saganis

Every semester, Elon University students flock to auditions to try their hands at a cappella. Group singing without instruments has become increasingly popular, so landing a spot in a group is no easy task. According to sophomore Alexis Paul, hundreds of students audition each semester, but fewer than ten are chosen for each group. Seeing that the demand for a cappella groups drastically outweighed the supply, Paul took it upon herself to create a new group, Shirley Tempos. “There is always a demand for more a cappella groups on campus with the popularity of interest,” Paul said. Paul created the all-female group to give girls a greater opportunity to be involved in a cappella.

Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” may be centuries old, but Elon University’s spring production brings it into a new era, 1970s Italy, complete with disco music, dance numbers and a cast that mirrors the age of its audience. The idea came in January of 2025, when Professor Julian Stetkevych, director of the spring play, was listening to disco music.
