In May, if you told Tyler Marenyi, the electro-house and dupstep producer also known as TMare, that he would be performing at College Street Tap House as an artist for Elon’s recording label, Limelight Records, he would probably be skeptical.

No points on the board in the first three quarters of a football game helps no one. Giving up a lot of running yards doesn’t help either. The Elon University football team dropped its third game in a row and sixth in its last seven, as Samford University defeated the Phoenix 26-15 in Southern Conference action Saturday at Rhodes Stadium. Samford junior running back Fabian Truss was a workhouse, notching 34 carries for 219 yards and two touchdowns as the Bulldogs had 290 total rushing yards on the day. Elon head coach Jason Swepson said Samford’s bullish offensive and defensive lines prevented the Phoenix from getting much going. “We played a very big, physical football team that we just didn’t match up well with,” he said.

One day after the presidential election, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd offered a psychoanalysis of the nation's leaders, relating the political arena to a theatrical display of family drama. Dowd, Elon University's Baird Pulitzer Prize lecturer, turned attention away from the most recent political contest and instead emphasized how father-son relationships influence the behaviors of United States presidents. "Presidential campaigns have an underlying paternal theme," Dowd said, referencing promises to protect the house against international invaders or a menacing financial situation. The candidates continually compete to portray themselves as America's father, king or hero, according to the Pulitzer Prize winner. The constructed narrative presents a nobleman's quest, a revered victory and a shared celebration with their constituents, she said.
