Students see a textbook delay during first week

By Liam Collins

It's been almost a week since the spring semester began here at Elon, but many students are still having issues getting their books in time to complete assignments for their classes.  It's a result of a new book-ordering system that was implemented last fall and moved textbooks to a warehouse on Church Street in order to make room in the second floor of the book store for more Elon gear.  Before this process change, textbooks were located on the second floor of the bookstore, available for students to either order ahead of time and pick-up, or for them to pick-up with no previous order. Now, all of the textbooks have moved to a warehouse on South Church Street when, as Barnes and Noble Store Manager Carly Mayer stated, the store noticed that 85% of students would order their textbooks ahead of time.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
