Obama puts future of electronic innovation in North Carolina's hands

By Michael Bodley

Following a disappointing December that saw job creation fall to a three-year low, President Barack Obama visited North Carolina State University (NCSU) Wednesday to announce a $150 million public-private partnership to fund the future of energy-efficient electronic chips and devices. NCSU will lead a group of six universities and 18 private companies, the Next Generation Power Electronics Institute, in developing smarter and more affordable electronic chips, which run everything from cellphones to industrial motors. “We’ve got to do more today to connect universities like NC State with companies like Vacon to make America the number-one place in the world to create new businesses and new jobs,” Obama said to cheers from the sold-out crowd of 2,000 inside the J.W.

Fall gap semester students arrive on campus

By mbrogan

Most freshmen spend the first day of school moving in and getting settled. But this year, 15 Elon students spent their first day of college in the remote wilderness of Wyoming with Elon's gap semester program. Now, the gap semester students are arriving on campus for the first time after their semester-long adventure, and students like Lizzie Thomson and Michaela Contois are looking back on how much they've bonded as a group. "I think throwing anybody into the wilderness, you don't have a choice other than to become like family," Thomson said. The gap semester program takes Elon students from the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming, across the country to Washington, D.C.

"Stop drinking soda and play more tennis so I don't get the 'freshman 15.'" "Do more pushups." "Do more yoga." These are only some of the many New Year's resolutions that have been expressed on campus.

Cristiano Ronaldo rightfully deserves top honor

By Jordan Spritzer

Cristiano Ronaldo was the best soccer player on the planet and it’s a shame it took an extension of the Ballon d’Or voting deadline to show just how great Ronaldo was. Although the Ballon d’Or is a sort of an odd award since it is voted on based on a player’s performance during the calendar year rather than the most recent season, Ronaldo proved that 2013 belonged to him.
