Men's soccer defeats Demon Deacons, breaks school wins record

By Kyle Maher

On a night filled with heart-stopping, back and forth action, it’s only fitting that the leading goal-scorer in the nation, Elon University forward Chris Thomas, would send most of the 689 fans watching the game home with something to cheer about.

Student improv performance takes Homecoming by storm

By Casey Brown

While Homecoming Weekend is known for its rambunctious tailgates and the crowning of a king and queen, the Department of Performing Arts has started its own tradition: the Instant Laughter comedy show. In its second year, the show, put on by students in the department, hosted two nights of improvisational comedy for peers, faculty and alumni. Hosted by junior Winston Koone, the show was made up of a variety of sketches, from “Death in a Minute”, in which the actors needed to play a scene in which they die in as close to a minute as possible, to “Shared Story”, in which the players built a story off one another’s dialogue. In order to keep the show appropriate and the players in line, sophomore Anna Weis acted as referee, blowing the whistle on any “foul play” and doling out the appropriate punishment.
