Spring Game highlights backups, potential game-changers for Phoenix football

By Zachary Horner

It was not a normal college football game for the Elon Phoenix. But they played a game made up of three 12-minute “quarters.” The first two were regular timekeeping while the third used a running clock. The Elon University football team played its annual Spring Game Saturday, and Team “Elon” was victorious 13-0 in what looked like a practice scrimmage in full uniform. The game started slowly, with no first downs until sophomore wide receiver Kierre Brown took a hand-off 16 yards with 4:30 left in the first quarter for “Elon.” “Obviously, we looked a little sluggish out there,” said Jason Swepson, Elon’s head football coach.

Top 5 reasons to attend Saturday's Spring Game

By Zachary Horner

Most college football spring games are what my friend Adam Lawson likes to call "glorified practices." And they are. Oh, you'll have the occasional quarterback battle occurring for a big program, as schools like Oklahoma State University that lose big names like Brandon Weeden to the NFL try to sort out their quarterbacking situations (as they just did). But for Elon, the quarterback in charge is set.

Vegetarian cheese lovers, beware.

By Bonnie Efird

I love cheese. I am a vegetarian, not a vegan for this reason. However, I was recently told (by my sister, who has been a vegetarian for over 12 years now) that most processed cheeses contain something called animal rennet. So, I did some research.

Shouts of “break the silence, stop the violence!” could be heard as more than 150 students and faculty members marched down North O’Kelly Avenue, through Loy Center and past Alamance before stopping at Whitley Auditorium  at Elon University. The annual “Take Back the Night” march, organized by SPARKS to raise awareness of sexual and domestic violence, began in the Academic Pavilion with addresses from Elizabeth Nelson, associate director for health promotions and coordinator for interpersonal relations, Carrie Heart, coordinator for violence prevention and response, and English professor Michelle Trim. “What is darkness?” Trim asked the large audience assembled in the center of the Academic Pavilion.

Returning player count encouraging for women's tennis

By Zachary Horner

Despite falling in the 2012 Southern Conference Tournament quarterfinals, the Elon University women’s tennis team has one of those cliched yet truly bright futures. They only graduate one senior and return all six regular singles players, including three all-Southern Conference players. “It’s unfortunate that our season came to an end,” said sophomore Jordan Johnston, who was a first team all-SoCon selection.

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".
