Each New Year, people around the country make resolutions to lose weight, get fit and become healthier. Students at Elon University are no different. The result?

Following the recent trend in distinguished grades at Elon University, 25 percent of grades given during the fall 2010 semester were A's while 12.8 percent were B's, bringing the standard GPA to 3.17.

"The average grade percentage being 3.17 doesn't really bother me at all," House said.

It's hard to believe that another year of The Pendulum has come to an end and it's time for a whole new staff to begin work on our award-winning paper.
Its that time of year again! Malls and retail stores across the country will be filled with shoppers hoping to find all items on their holiday wish lists.
Here at Elon, we have a program called "Burst the Bubble." During our three-week long Winter Term, students can sign up to actually teach their fellow students.
After Thanksgiving break, it can be tough to get back into the swing of things...especially when you're producing a newspaper the day after you return to campus.
