Elon University students are busy people, there's no doubt about that. If you're someone who isn't heavily involved in at least one extra-curricular organization, if not more, then you are in the minority.
In this post, several Elon students share their experiences in around 100 words.
This was written by Pendulum columnist Rebecca Cummings. How do we prepare for the end of the year? Most students would probably agree there is no real time to stop and think about it.
This was written by Pendulum columnist Nicole Monge. Like it or not, “Gossip Girl” and “The Real Housewives” series are television programs that have made their way onto our televisions and into our culture. One of the negative facets of both shows is they tend to teach audiences that manipulating people and stabbing them in the back are practical behaviors for personal gains.

There is something special about Elon all the time. Special good, special bad, call it what you want, but it's undeniable each day has something unique about it. Now, there's no doubt that Elon in the warm glow of an early spring day is something to marvel at.
Wednesday means a fresh copy of The Pendulum is at newsstands all over campus and online at Issuu.com. This week's front page story is about the controversy surrounding the recent tenure appointments (or lack thereof). Loyal followers will note that last week, the Opinions section published a submitted cartoon on the topic and the week before, we ran a letter to the editor about it.
Don't forget to check out the Pendulum Resolution Project blog and read news editor Caitlin O'Donnell's latest post. Maybe it will inspire you to do something for others over your Spring Break!
In this week's Pendulum, we were fortunate enough to run our FOURTH (!!!) letter to the editor of the year.
Last week, I went into the McEwen School of Communications around 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday, to print something.

In the last few weeks, The Pendulum and Elon's SGA have been at odds.
Here's a wrap-up of what you can expect when you open the latest issue of The Pendulum! In the Editorial section, we have a piece about The Pendulum's response to a recent debacle with the SGA. There's also one on campus safety in the wake of recent crime on campus. On the column front, three lovely ladies stepped up this week to share their opinions on alternative grading, Winter Term classes at Elon and summer internships. Finally, online only, there's one about the Super Bowl and its popularity in the United States. Thanks for reading The Pendulum and of course, the Opinions section!
