By Matt Krause

The word “chemistry” might take one’s mind back to a high school science lab. For the Elon University football team, chemistry refers to getting all 11 players on both sides of the ball to play as one. Following the team’s spring game, the Phoenix discussed how important the summer would be for team bonding and building strength through workouts.

Underage Drinking Rights

By scowans

Underage drinking is a common issue on college campuses and sometimes Elon students are unsure how to react when approached by a police officer, especially if they've been drinking underage. Here are some things to think about when it comes to students knowing their rights. "When an officer actually says 'hey stop' or "let me ask you a few questions,' you're not free to leave," Kristina Marshall, an attorney in Graham, N.C., said. But there are some situations where it's fine to walk away. "If an officer comes up to you when you're just hanging out and says 'Hey how about the Phoenix... how about your classes,' you're still free to go," Marshall said.

Filling the gaps: Elon men's soccer looks to replace holes left by Thomas, Latigue

By Andrew Wilson

The holes in the Elon University men’s soccer team are very visible at a time when the Phoenix can least afford them. Coming off arguably the most successful season in program history, one in which then-senior Chris Thomas led the nation in goals scored with 23, the Phoenix enters 2013 as not only a team with a target on its back in the Southern Conference, but a team that can no longer slide under the radar and sneak up on nationally ranked programs. Thomas and Gabe Latigue, one of the anchors of the midfield from a season ago, are no longer donning the Elon uniform, which could be cause for concern with another tough schedule on tap and vital holes needing to be plugged. “Everybody now is more aware of our team and our program,” said Elon head coach Darren Powell.

On 'Yeezus': Yeezy season is upon us

By Peter Walpole

The darkly distorted passion project of producer-rapper/designer Kanye West dropped the same day as North Carolina MC J Cole’s standout sophomore LP Born Sinner and ever-evolving pop-frat weed rapper Mac Miller’s second major label release, Watching Movies with the Sound Off. Cole and Miller delighted both fans and critics alike with cinematic production, an auteur-level attention to design detail and, most importantly to many young fans, official web streams of both of the albums in their entirety a full week before their releases. Yeezus didn’t produce a single, wasn’t available for pre-order and doesn’t even have album art.

Chris Neal brings in class of 12 for 2013 women's soccer season

By Andrew Wilson

Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion states, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Little did Newton know, his law would be used for more than just science. The Elon University women’s soccer team brought the law into the world of sports with its 2013 recruiting class — one that features 12 new additions to the team as well as two transfers, both of which came from Clemson University. With numerous knee injuries, including multiple torn ACLs in 2012, the Phoenix had a lot of question marks entering the season — ones that could only be remedied by bringing in more recruits as insurance. “Initially, the recruiting class started off as a smaller class,” said Elon head coach Chris Neal.

Students should start investing early, advisors say

By kmaraghy

While college students may not be known for having disposable incomes, those that do have options have the ability to go beyond simply having a savings account. David Gray, a financial advisor with Capital Management in Greensboro, said he sees investing early as a key component to getting on the right track, financially. "No matter how small the amount, it's the habit you want to develop," Gray said.
