Democracy can hurt. Our competitive system forcibly leads to winners and losers. These titles bring an array of emotion, from euphoria to melancholy.
It was early Thursday morning when I got a news tip about a hateful note written on whiteboard saying “Bye Bye Latinos Hasta La Vista.” Looking through Facebook posts of the image, I sourced the time and location of the message to Tony Crider’s 8 a.m. Global Experience course in Kivette Hall Room 100.
The Elon University football team’s season hit a new low Saturday afternoon, as last-place University of Rhode Island blew out the Phoenix 44-14 in a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) matchup. It’s a sixth-straight loss for Elon, dropping the Phoenix into a tie for last place and making 2016 Elon’s fourth-straight season with just a single home victory. “Obviously, a really frustrating day in every regard,” said head coach Rich Skrosky.
It was a 101-68 win for the Elon University men’s basketball team over Division III William Peace University Friday night, but head coach Matt Matheny felt that the Phoenix has a lot to learn going forward. “We wanted to be victorious, and we were,” Matheny said.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A day that started with a record-breaking performance from senior Kimberly Johansen ended in frustration for sophomore Nick Ciolkowski and the Elon University cross country teams Friday at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. Johansen ended a sparkling cross country career with a school record time of 20:51.7 in the 6-kilometer race and her second-straight All-Region finish, taking 14th place.
Primed with an opportunity to snap a two-game losing streak, Elon University’s volleyball team fell just short against Hofstra University Friday, dropping to the Pride 3-2 after forcing a fifth set.

Participant names have been redacted to respect the privacy of the safe space. The silence was deafening. In your face. Powerful. As students trickled into the Center for Race, Ethnicity, & Diversity Education (CREDE) Wednesday evening, looking for a space to process the events of the day — Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election — they had little to say as they sat down and waited for the program to begin. A couple of students engaged in small talk with their neighbor as they settled in, but conversations were far and few, often ending after a minute and replaced with pensive silence.
If you’re reading this, the world didn’t end on Tuesday. Maybe it feels like it did.

“I go to fight for these old hills behind me, these old Red Hills of Home.” This chorus, sung throughout Elon University’s rendition of the 1998 musical Parade, describes the spirit of the antebellum South that extended beyond the old hills of Georgia.
I want to start off this article by fully addressing what this is in response to. Last week, an article named “I’m coming out” was published in The Pendulum, where the author of the article “came out” as a conservative.
A note reading "Bye Bye Latinos Hasta La Vista" was found on a whiteboard in Kivette Hall Room 100 at Elon University this morning. It is unknown at this time who wrote the note.
RALEIGH — Just after midnight Wednesday morning, Republican North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and his wife, Ann McCrory, took to the stage at Raleigh Marriott in Crabtree Valley, North Carolina, to address his eager and anxious supporters.
"This win was better than the rest." Forsyth Country Club in Winston-Salem, N.C. was the site of Richard Burr's campaign headquarters.
He wasn’t expected to run for president, win the primaries or even secure his party’s nomination. Today, Republican Donald Trump finds himself elected as the 45th President of the United States.
For Dr. Janie P. Brown, the trips back and forth to the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame (NCSHoF) meetings from her log cabin home in Northern Alamance County can take a good amount of time. But the retired Elon University professor of physical education doesn’t mind the drive, especially when she can be a part of the induction process as a Board of Director. This past summer, the NCSHoF inducted Susan Yow, leading Brown to reminisce on the memories of Yow’s playing days under her sister, Kay, when at the then-Elon College. And while some memories have faded over the years, there’s one event Brown couldn’t possibly forget. The June 3, 1974 women’s basketball game at Elon’s Alumni Memorial Gym between the U.S.
MANHATTAN— Felix Cruz looked at the Empire State building with a sense of awe and wonderment— for all the wrong reasons.
Driving along highway I-40 through Chapel Hill one summer evening, Ahmed Abdullah Al Fadaam heard a sudden loud bang. Mind racing, he stopped the car, pulled over and began frantically searching the area looking for where the noise came from. Fadaam scanned his surroundings. He took a breath, realizing where he was. This was not Iraq. The day was July 4, 2015. The sound was not an explosion.
The oldest part of Elon University’s campus is going to get a new addition. A new commons building will be built in the Historic Neighborhood, completing a multi-year renovation plan for the area. Plans for the new building, named the LaRose Student Commons, were officially announced during Homecoming weekend at the Board of Trustees luncheon. President Leo Lambert, joined by donor Gail H. LaRose ’64, announced that LaRose’s $2.5 million gift will be used to build a new student gathering space.
