By Mary Kate Brogan

Hey, everybody, and welcome to a Tuesday in the life of senior reporter Mary Kate Brogan. My main focus for this blog post is TMI. TMI stands for too much information, often used when someone says something too personal or awkward. In my case, it's not necessarily that I say things that are too personal or awkward, I just tend to give everyone too much information in my stories, both verbal and journalistic.

By Katherine Blunt

My first week as a Senior Reporter for the Pendulum went well, overall. It proved more difficult to access county records of train accidents than I anticipated, and as a result I had to drop the story and pick up another midweek.

Culture Shock: Preparing for a semester of new experiences, lifestyles

By Wesley Rose

How very little do I know of the world! Costa Rica, one of the few countries to have abolished its army, to pioneer a compulsory sense of environmental preservation (to view a lush environment as an economic asset is relatively exceptional) and to project in its cultural identity firstly the virtues of humanness and kinship, says how much indeed.

Elon community mourns loss of friend, colleague Jim Pickens

By The Pendulum

Jim Pickens, a former Elon University professor, died today. Pickens worked as a professor of psychology for more than two decades at Elon before retiring in 2007. "He, with a couple of other people, served as a conscious for the university in some significant ways," said Jeffery Pugh, professor of religious studies at Elon University. Pugh associates the Students for Peace and Justice with the legacy of his friend, he said. Pickens served as advisor to the organization throughout his time at Elon, according to an article published on E-Net. He motivated the creation of the Non-violence Studies minor and traveled to Nicaragua and Guatemala as part of Witness for Peace trips. "He was always putting before use issues like Nicaragua or the situation in Honduras or what the School of the Americas was up to in Fort Benning and other kinds of peace and justice issues," Pugh said.
