My heart pumps patriotism through every vein. I embrace American ideals and values at the core of my composition. As a military child, my sense of patriotism is particularly acute. My experiences in the United States and abroad have contributed to my heightened sense of loyalty to my country. Although America is not perfect, it is the best country in the world. Yet today, a distinct dissatisfaction with our country seems to have settled. Why are we so troubled to be Americans? Former President John F.
On July 1, at 12:00 a.m. Elon University officially left the Southern Conference after 11 years to become a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. The Basics The move, which was officially announced by the University on May 23, 2013, was voted on unanimously by the Board of Trustees. The CAA first approached Elon about joining its conference in early April 2013 following the loss of four schools--George Mason (Atlantic 10), Georgia State (Sun Belt), Old Dominion (Conference USA) and VCU (Atlantic 10). "Elon is a school we had on our radar for a while," CAA Commissioner Tom Yeager said in an interview with Elon Local News "I think both parties saw what they liked in each other.

In my world, food is like oxygen: It’s everywhere and always present. At home it’s a flight of stairs away in a large, climate-controlled pantry or refrigerator. With my meal plan at school I have over eight dining locations to choose from on a daily basis from the time I wake up until 1 a.m. I never go into Lakeside Dining Hall or Acorn Coffee Shop hoping there will be enough food to satisfy my hunger.

I bet you can remember your first night at Elon University. Lying on your college-issue twin mattress, staring at the ceiling and trying to get a handle on the thoughts rushing through your head: the dorm that you now call "home," the academic and social challenges starting at 8:30 Monday morning, the friends you worried about making, and the friends you worry you’ve left behind.

The 2014 NBA playoffs came to a close June 15 when the San Antonio Spurs finished off their dismantling of the two-time defending champion Miami Heat. Though the Spurs, led by future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan and emerging star and Finals Most Valuable Player Kawhi Leonard, earned their fifth NBA title in the Gregg Popovich era, the future of Miami’s famed Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh has already supplanted the Spurs’ title as one of the many compelling headlines heading into the offseason. When James, Wade and Bosh decided to team up in 2010, the Heat became the most talked about team in recent memory. But now, with the future of the Big Three in doubt, the word “uncertainty” can now be associated with the Heat for the first time in almost four years. After falling short in their quest of a third straight NBA title, James, Wade and Bosh can opt out of their respective contracts and test the free agent waters this offseason. Still a very talented team, the 2014 Heat lacked enough help outside of James to topple the depth of the Spurs. Miami won championships in 2012 and 2013 with a similarly limited roster as the 2014 squad, but team president Pat Riley and the Heat front office was always able to find productive bench players to help carry the load. In this year’s Finals, Miami’s main problems resided in the starting lineup as well as on the bench. Wade and Bosh each put forth lackluster performances when it counted most against the Spurs. Wade scored a combined 21 points in Games 4 and 5 of the Finals, a far cry from the 22 he put up in Game 3, all Heat losses. Bosh’s play was equally uninspiring, as he tallied just nine, 12 and 13 points in Games 3-5 after scoring 18 points in both Games 1 and 2. The Heat needed much more if they expected to keep up with the Spurs. The offensive production of Wade and Bosh as the Finals wore on is one reason that James could decide to bolt from Miami and split up the Big Three. But why would he? The Heat fell just three wins short of a third straight championship after becoming the first team in 27 years to make NBA Finals four straight seasons. Sure, the Big Three is getting older, but they should still be able to compete at a high level for at least two or three more years as a group. First off, LeBron is always going to put up LeBron numbers (27.4 points per game in postseason). Behind him, Bosh is generally reliable on the offensive end, and Wade can still provide solid minutes, granted he stays healthy.

Burlington City Council approved the proposed development of an urban transit system, which will include a route through Elon. The Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning Organization (BGMPO) developed a list of candidate transportation projects, including the transit system, which were discussed, evaluated and voted on Tuesday, June 17. Routes According to bgmpo.org, the Public Transportation will have a "Hub and Spoke" design, with downtown Burlington serving as the central hub for several outreaching destinations. The transit will consist of four routes going through the cities of Burlington, Mebane, Elon and Gibsonville with estimated 30 minute travel times. The new transit will coordinate with the Elon BioBus, PART (Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation), TTA (Research Triangle Public Transit Authority) and ACTA (Alamance County Transportation Authority). Expenses and Revenue The system start-up expenses total $2.7 million; including six buses at $400,000 each, $160,000 for signs, shelter and equipment and $140,000 for planning/administrative and marketing costs, according to bgmpo.org. The first four years have an annual operation budget starting at $1.45 million for the first year and going to $1.6 million for the fourth year. Local funding, state funding and transit passengers will help pay for the first year's expenses, but forty-seven percent of the cost will be covered by federal funding.
