'Johnny Cam' for 'Johnny Football?' The reason why it's bad for NCAA

By Tommy Hamzik

If you even pay the slightest bit of attention to college football, or even happen to tune into ESPN every so often, you know who Johnny Manziel is. The star Heisman-trophy winning quarterback from Texas A&M University has filled headlines for the past year, from the time he rolled over eventual national champion University of Alabama to when he skated through NCAA hearings and received a surprisingly small punishment for what could have been a major scandal. But what Manziel really has created will carry on long past the final snap he’ll play in an Aggies’ uniform.

More Than 700 Bricks Stolen on Campus

By cprice13

It's only been three weeks into the fall semester, and already more than 700 bricks went missing from the pathways and sidewalks on Elon's campus. Some call it an innocent tradition, but others, a criminal offense. Danieley Center Resident Assistant Kelle-Anne Gecawich isn't a fan of the tradition. "One of reasons why I hate it when bricks are being stolen, is the fact that when they are found, we have to carry them," Gecawich said. Upperclassmen share their views on the tradition as well. Senior Village resident Ben Perron chooses not to steal bricks because it goes against what he considers moral. Perron referenced the Bible, concerning especially the teachings of Jesus Christ. Senior Jimmy Stevenson chooses not to steal them because of the dangers that loose and missing bricks can cause when riding bicycles or skateboards. "If you go over ground where missing bricks are, you can face plant," Stevenson said. Stevenson then made reference to unfortunate personal experiences the tradition has caused him. Elon Campus Safety and Police are penalizing offenders with fines, and second time offenders can receive misdemeanor charges.

By Michael Bodley

Town Table and Taphouse served their last meals and poured their last beers at the end of this summer, leaving many to question the viability of doing business in downtown Elon at a time when the area’s most consistent customers — Elon University students — leave campus deserted. But many businesses are still going strong, supported in part from May to late August by a robust community customer base. “We’re just busy all the time, even in the summer months,” said Sandie Broom, a manager at The Root Trackside.
