Elon’s take on BuzzFeed: the new news or new distraction?

By Erin Valentine

It’s the bane of every teacher’s existence. It clutters Facebook homepages. It draws people of all lifestyles in with articles like “10 Peculiar Works of Art Featuring Donald Trump” and “23 Moments of Beyonce Realness.” At Elon University, students appear split on BuzzFeed’s attraction.

By jbiegel

A lot of pressure has been put on the Elon Men's Basketball team for the upcoming 2013-2014 season. With all five starters (Lucas Troutman, Ryley Beaumont, Kevin Blake, Jack Isenbarger, and Sebastian Koch) returning from last year, the expectations are high for a squad which went 21-12 last year. "Last year left a bitter taste in our mouths, not winning the SoCon tournament," Isenbarger said.

Ignited with passion: Fire of the Carolinas' baton twirler credits skills to dedication

By Leena Dahal

Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes. In fact, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell once said perfection requires spending 10,000 hours honing your skills. If you’ve ever been to an Elon University football game, you have witnessed the skills of junior Kasia Luzynski, otherwise known as “the girl who twirls fire-lit batons” during the Fire of the Carolinas’ performance at half-time. While other toddlers were learning the alphabet, Luzynski was busy making a life-changing decision.

Sit Down or Get Out: Group of Elon Students Removed from Oct.19 Football Game

By jbiegel

Many Elon students were removed from Rhodes Stadium Saturday, Oct. 19, for standing and cheering in the students section during the football game against Chattanooga. According to Elon Athletics, a fan from the general admission section, adjacent to the student section, complained to a volunteer security officer that they could not see due to standing students. Junior Michael Lindsey was one of the students cheering in the student section. "The people in the yellow jackets came down to us at one point and they were telling us we needed to sit down or we were going to get kicked out of the game," he said. Lindsey and his friends ignored the officer and continued to cheer. Thirty minutes later, the officer returned to the student section and informed Lindsey and the other students that their day at the stadium was over. Junior Casey Brown was sitting in the student section a few seats away from Lindsey and was not pleased with how the situation was handled.

Elon University, hold the excuses. I don’t want to hear them. Your poor showing at last week’s football game against the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has angered me. “Oh, it was raining and cold, that wouldn’t be comfortable in my sorority sundress,” says the general female population of Elon University. “Dude, that bro Johnny Manziel was on TV, so were the Red Sahx, and besides, dude, we're bad,” says the general Elon fraternity brother. “I don’t even like football, I prefer musical theater,” says another general population of Elon. I said, hold the excuses.
