Professor channels childhood memories through original comics

By Kyra Gemberling

Many would find it hard to see a correlation between Saturday morning cartoons, author J.R.R. Tolkien and the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. But for Caleb Boteilho, these things served as inspiration for writing his own comics, a hobby he started in 2008. As adjunct professor of Japanese at Elon, Boteilho said he derives his passion for writing from his study of various languages. "Language is the biggest thing to me," he said.

Learning a new beat

By Grace Elkus

This week, I had the opportunity to talk with someone from Elon’s Law School.  This was exciting for me because I know very little about the Law School and was interested to learn specifically about the stipends they provide for students doing unpaid internships over the summer.   I wanted to know more about how the stipends are funded because I think that Elon’s undergraduate programs could potentially provide the same type of thing. I talked with Jason Senges, president of Elon Law School’s Public Interest Law Society and a Leadership Fellow at the law school.  He explained to me that last year, the money provided to students was raised at a tennis tournament.  This year, the fundraiser will be a basketball tournament held in February.  The goal is to be able to give $500 to multiple students.  A committee of professors determines which students will receive the scholarships.  The criteria is being modified this year, but it will most likely be an overall look at the students’ resume, application and the merit of what they will be doing over the summer. The stipend program was developed in order to encourage students to seek out summer opportunities where they can work without pay, Senges explained.  For this reason, I think that the same type of program would be beneficial in undergraduate programs as well.  For many students, internship credit is mandatory for their major and often times, it is hard to find an internship that will pay. Pam Brumbaugh, the director of experiential education at Elon, told me that the career center has been talking about providing some sort of stipend or scholarship to undergraduates for a couple years now.  Hopefully, we can see those ideas come to life in the near future.

Get a taste of fall while helping your body

By Nicole Esplin

Sure the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is a delicious way to taste the fall season, but are you willing to counter your crisp autumn run by consuming 13 grams of fat and 380 calories?  If your answer is no but you’ve still been craving fall foods post-workout (and all other times of the day), I have compiled a few post-workout meal ideas and recipes that not only taste great but also have extra benefits to help you recover faster and stronger for your next workout. Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash With protein and potassium from the chicken and squash, this meal promotes muscle growth and healthy bones to keep workouts strong.  Squash is in season early fall through winter, and in addition to having bone-health promoting potassium, it offers a good source of antioxidants, which are a natural anti-inflammatory. Pumpkin Oatmeal This meal offers immune-fighting carotenoids and Vitamin C found in the pumpkin and both soluble and insoluble fiber in the pumpkin and oats.  The two types of fiber work together to fight cancer, lower cholesterol and restore carbohydrates lost in a workout.  For even more fall-rich flavor, add protein rich pecans to your oatmeal. Fresh Figs with Walnuts and Maple Syrup A good source of dietary fiber, magnesium and potassium, figs are power-recovery foods that will not weigh you down for your next training session.  The magnesium in the figs helps prevent cramps while working out and promotes calcium absorption in the bones.  The other main ingredient in this simple dish is maple syrup, which also contains magnesium and zinc, both of which benefit the body’s immune system to help and defensed against getting sick.
