Amusing headlines...

By pendulumopinions

I'm sorry, but the Politico headline "ACORN: Congress cannot hurt us," amused me to no end. There's an article there somewhere, but I couldn't help but just think of this:

Instant Replay in College Football

By The Pendulum Sports Desk

With just under five minutes to go in the first half, Wake Forest's wide receiver Devon Brown appeared to fumble the ball after a pass from quarterback Riley Skinner, but the fumble was ruled after Brown was down, meaning there would be no turnover. Before the snap, however, the official stopped play and declared, "The previous play is under review." Instant replay is a common thing in the National Football League, but it has only become common in college football in the past year. There have always been things that could be reviewed, such as the placement of a ball.

The ugly truth on an ugly issue

By pendulumopinions

Look, I get it. I'm racist, you're racist, the GOP is racist, Obama is racist, Twitter's racist...perhaps we're all, as Avenue Q informed us, a little bit racist. In fact, I think it's pretty safe to say that everything is racist.

That he is. For example, he's made a real difference in my sleep patterns, as terrifying visions of the exploits he detailed to a chap next to him (don't actually click this, you don't want to know what Duvall does in his spare time) have kept me clutching my pillows in fear of stairway-induced leakage. But his tales of such minor indiscretions such as, say, having sexual relations with a series of lobbyists with little regard for his wife or the whole, "Hey, you might not want to have sex with people trying to persuade you to do things," tenant of government, weren't true! No sir, for as you can read on his amazing one-page website... "I want to make it clear that my decision to resign is in no way an admission that I had an affair or affairs. My offense was engaging in inappropriate story-telling and I regret my language and choice of words.

Fourth quarter surge gives Elon University women’s basketball season opener win

The Elon University women’s basketball team defeated High Point University 66-65 to win its first game of the season Nov. 4. It was a roller coaster game as a hot start turned into a 15-point deficit in the third quarter. However, hot fourth quarter shooting proved to be the difference in a thrilling opening night victory. The Phoenix went into the season hoping to improve on its 11-21 record last year and wasted no time getting ahead in the opening minutes. They jumped out to a 15-7 lead thanks to redshirt sophomore guard Raven Preston.

oSTEM returns to campus after 2 years

With senior Maria Ledin leading as president of oSTEM this year, they aim to change the status of the organization to have more presence on campus. For the past two years, oSTEM was not active on Elon’s campus. After complications with the COVID-19 pandemic and a leadership team that had mostly graduated, the organization temporarily disappeared. Ledin said they were inspired to jumpstart the organization in part because they knew of individuals on campus that could and would benefit from the space that oSTEM provides.
