Phoenix tops UNCG on wild senior night

By Adam Lawson

A 38-16 start. An ejected fan. A head coach picking up a technical foul in his maiden voyage back to the place where he first perfected his craft. To say Elon University's 93-79 victory over  UNC-Greensboro Saturday night was eventful may be putting things lightly. Drew Spradlin, Elon's lone senior, swished an 18-foot jump shot seven seconds into play — initiating a rapid start to the game's first few minutes.

Relating to the story

By Kristen Olsen

This week my assigned story focused on an international career conference taking place next week. I was excited to write this story because I am personally interested in working abroad after I graduate, so this fit right into my goals. When I began interviewing the students, I asked them about their international experiences, which would usually cause us to go off topic and spend a good ten minutes talking about our study abroad experiences.

Christianity, humility not parts of the normal Linsanity equation

By Zachary Horner

If you’re a regular reader of “From the Phield,” you will have seen two blog posts in the last week or so talking about the New York Knicks’ new sensation, point guard Jeremy Lin. Assistant sports editor Adam Lawson tackled the comparisons with Tim Tebow and called them unfair, pointing out Tebow’s relative lack of success on the field compared to Lin’s. New sports senior reporter Kyle Maher looked at the novelty of Lin’s story, the fact that he came from almost nothing (in a basketball perspective) to the top of arguably the biggest city in the world on one of the most recognizable teams in the world. We’ve seen the novelty expand to something more than I’m sure even the most optimistic fan of Lin expected.

As K-12 students across North Carolina prepare for their winter break, the Elon University Poll released poll data on Dec. 17 finding that most North Carolinians gave mediocre or poor grades to public schools across the state. “The states have always had deep authority on education, but there has been more federal involvement in various years,” Director of the Elon University Poll Jason Husser said. “So we thought, well, this is the time for us to really look in depth about what do people think about North Carolina schools.”

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.
