* Elon University transforms every year and 2003
^ was no exception. As students returned in the
^ fall, two of the Academic Pavillions were
erected, Carlton, Alamance, and Duke were
renovated and North building disappeared.
Walking to class on August 27 required both
freshmen and seniors to relearn classroom and
administrative locations. During lunch,
students were happily surprised with a new
option: Freshens Ice Cream Shop. The Phoenix
Card also expanded its use as more restaurants
became able to swipe the card for food. When
laundry piled up, students realized not all
the changes were helpful. Laundry services
increased by 25 cents to make it $1.00 to
wash clothes. Overall, students embraced the
changes as the university increases its
popularity and prestige. In future years,
change is inevitable but Elon's friendly,
beautiful campus and traditional ceremonies
will remain at the heart of the university.

ORIENTATION
By Christina Kane
August 23. 2002. Most new students see it as the day they gained their freedom.
Most parents see it as the day of no return. To Elon, it was the day 1 ,200 new students
became a part of the community. After a day filled with move-in and orientation,
new students gathered for "Catch the Fire." Students played games, won prizes, and
danced with fellow residents. In Danieley Center, students won prizes for being the
first to bring a bed sheet to the host. Students raced off to their residence halls and
tore through their barely unpacked things to find the requested items.
Although tired and still adjusting, students rose early the following morning for
the traditional "New Student
parents, and honored
of 2006 under the oaks,
welcomed the new students
work in high school and
at Elon. As students left the
Convocation." All students,
faculty welcomed the class

ceremony, each was given
Lambert described, "Today,
an acorn. As President Leo ^?1
we plant the seed, photo by Brian viebranz sy m bo II Ica I ly, that wi
germinate and grow into that small tree you'll receive at commencement. Keep your
acorn as a reminder that you have within you everything you need to grow and
become strong."
The Farewell Picnic at Lake Mary Nell brought parents and students together for
the last time. As parents traveled home, new students gathered for the "New Student
Extravaganza," featuring a pep rally, karaoke, ice cream floats, caricatures, and a
money machine.
Orientation culminated with "Elon Under the Lights." Under the Intramural Field
lights, old students reunited with friends, while new students got a taste of the campus
atmosphere through games and free food.

The Freshman Class of 2006 Is very unique. They have been deemed the most
talented and qualified. Out of the 1200 freshmen, 56 percent graduated in the
top fourth of their classes and their average S.A.T score was 1145, 20 points
higher than last year. The average G.P.A. is 3.6.

Family Weekend

September 20-22, 2002. Family Weekend is filled with anticipation and a hectic
schedule as students get the chance to show off their new lives to their parents, it is
the invasion of families walking around campus at all times. Students show off their
new home and friends, and families see what their precious ones have been up to
over the first month of school. But what the whole weekend boiled down to was
Wal-lVlart runs, eating at restaurants, and just catching up with one another.
While there were many activities to be involved in, most families chose only a
few. On Saturday morning parents were invited to coffee with President Leo Lambert
at the Maynard House. A ^^^^^^^^— ^— ^-^ parent/student golf
tournament was opened ^^^^|BiH J near campus for families to
compete. In the afternoon, ^^^^JjJJB^^TP the women's soccer team
played on Firehouse Field. ^B^Hn^^^^^S^Bi Brothers and sisters of
students had attended a R^Vi^^^^^B^H three-hour program in teh
Zone, while parents had a MbSq^^P^Mp^S chance to meet professors
and advisors. A large ^^^^^^^^jd^^^B tailgating party was held by
Lake Mary Nell with photo courtesy ofPhiPsi cm southern barbecue. The
football game versus Johnson C. Smith showed parents that Elon is all about winning
as the Phoenix rose to victory. That evening a formal dinner and dance brought
families together to dance along with a live oldies band.
During each family's off-time from scheduled activities, they filled it with trips to
stores to stock up on food, getting items to complete the dorm room, and outings to
local restaurants. Everyone involved had extremely busy schedules with little time
to sleep. Yet no student forgot to ask about loved ones and friends back at home and
parents didn't miss their opportunities to pry in their student's new life.

September 11^"^
^€^K€4fvf^eM/K^ 2001
By Bethany Barnhouser
One year after terrorists flew two American planes into the World Trade Center,
students spent the day remembering the tragedy, showing American pride, and
realizing how much the world changed since then. When Franklin Roosevelt spoke
about December 7, 1 941 , he referred to it as "a day which would live in infamy." For
our generation, September 11, 2001, will be given the same infamous status.
September 11, 2002 was a day of chaos nationwide, and on campus. Students
ignored the uncancelled classes and tried frantically to call home. Everyone was
glued to CNN or another news source, either in their dorms, classrooms, the Zone,
or in hallways.
This year, students
together through vigils,
day long, students could

not help but take a minute
Commuter Lounge, students
created wrist bands with a victim's name on it to remember and pray during the day.
In the afternoon, dining hall and offices closed for the memorial ceremony held in
Alumni Gym. Here, students shared memories, gathered for prayer, and discussed
the names on their wrist bands. Following the memorial, students and faculty gathered
near Lake Mary Nell for a picnic. Many students showed their patriotism with red,
white, and blue attire. Others, showed their remorse with tears and sadness.
The shock of September 11 was an inspiration for song writers as Alan Jackson
asked, "Where were you when the world stopped turning?" and Toby Keith expressed
"The Angry American." Countless singers released new versions of "The Star Spangled
Banner." In the end, everyone realized that September 11 will never be just another
day.

September 1 1 th has been a significant date throughout American history. On
September 11,1 777, George Washington was forced to retreat during the
battle on Brandywine. It was the first day the "Stars and Stripes" were carried
into battle. In 1 941 , on September 1 1th, the ground-breaking ceremony for the
Pentagon was held.

December 2002. As exam time grew near, the nervousness was more than just
about the three-hour exams ahead. A winter storm brought ice and snow onto campus,
destroying trees, cars, and electricity. Duke Power announced the largest electricity
outage in years with thousands of places without power for days. Many students
awoke December 5 after the night fall of snow and ice to the sounds of limbs cracking
and then crashing to the ground, in Danieley L parking lot. three cars fell victim to

students took advantage of the free lodging in the warmth, others stuck it out in the
cold, relying on snack food, candles, and blankets to keep them warm and busy.
Due to the abundance of ice and snow, the fear of cancelling exams was on the
minds of students. Exams remained on schedule, but the traditional holiday events
were cancelled or relocated. The 1 4th annual luminaries which brings hot chocolate,
tree lighting, and Santa Clause to Elon was cancelled for safety reasons. President
Leo Lambert's Holiday Bash remained on schedule, but was relocated from Maynard
House to Moseley's Fire Side Lounge.
In January 2003, the ice storms struck campus again, creating a 25-hour campus-
wide power outage. Classes and events were canceled throughout the day.

The Winter Storm of 2002 left $40,000 worth of damage to Elon's campus.

November 4-9. 2002. "Let Freedom Ring" sounded across campus as the
competition, celebration, and excitement escalated around Homecoming Week. The
freedom theme stemmed from the events of September 11, 2002 and ironically
mocked the upcoming game versus Liberty.
Homecoming brings students, alumni, and faculty together in healthy competition

Homecoming culminated Saturday with tailgating "on the green" and the football
game. Over 70 organizations set up tables to welcome back alumni and provide
good times for the students. Thousands of students, alumni, and faculty filled Rhodes
Stadium to watch the Phoenix beat Liberty.
Homecoming is not all about the students; it's also a welcoming back to alumni
and a chance for them to see the place where they had the time of their lives. Over a
thousand alumni filled campus. Some confused and lost by the changes, others
enjoying their time back at their school. Alumni from all ages joined current students
to show pride in the Phoenix and Elon.

Kernodk Center is an aspect of Elon's service community. Students develop
volunteer programs and activities for campus. These programs and activities include
blood drives, a walk for cystic fibrosis. Special Olympics, SafeRides, Adopt-a-
Grandparent. and volunteering at a family abuse center and Elon Homes for Children.
Throughout the year, Kernodle Center and volunteers sponsor various events.
During November, students participated in Hunger Awareness Week through a 30-
hour famine. While other students ate meals in the dining halls, these students
bound together to raise money and awareness for those who go hungry every day.
Students spent their hours supporting each other in the Zone through activities and
conversation to keep their minds off the hunger.
Campus Recreation, the largest student working center on campus, organizing
programs and activities such as Turkey Trot, rock climbing, white water rafting,
snow tubing, and other adventure trips, provides students with a fun time at and
away from campus.
From 4-on-4 basketball to flag football to wallyball, students fill their non-
classroom time on the intramural fields. For those students who are not as active,
cheering on the games, especially championships, still works up a sweat.
SportsFest is an annual weekend event held the first weekend in September. For
36 hours, students bond through sports activities. SportsFest begins with a banner
competition and mystery event which was a huge water slide. SportsFest's first
place was awarded to the Sloan "Superstars." The Danieley Center "Aqua Pandas"
came in second. Third place went to both the Isabella Cannon Freshman Leadership
Fellows, "A.N.T.S." and the lordan Center "Ghetto Superstars."

"Each year the enthusiasm of students for Elon
grows stronger and stronger, and each year I think
there can't be a more exciting class, but there is!
Perhaps the Admissions tradition that illustrates
this best is the summer picnic events. Parents
Council members host incoming freshmen and
Admissions Counselors to informally welcome them
into the Elon family. The picnics are held from
Connecticut to Florida and everyone loves them!"

The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair.
And having perhaps the better claim.
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by.
And that has made all the difference.

Real Food On Campus
By Christina Kane
All students eat on campus whether just once Students gather in Harden dining hall to eattheir lunch
^ ' are also a great way to catch up with fnends to chat. Harden is quick
or nineteen times a week. The many options include ancl easy to get food so students tend to prefer it over other dining
halls.
Harden, McEwen, Danieley, Octagon, and Acorn.
Many changes have occured including the arrival of
Freshens. Freshens offers refreshing smoothies, yogurt,
and soft pretzels. The biggest difference would have
to be RFOC at Harden Dining Hall. With it came a
new look and new food. A wider variety of food is
offered with the addition of waffle makers and a stir
fry bar. A good, healthy meal can be found at any of
the dining facilities around campus.

Dorm Life
By Christina Kane
Dorm Life: What is it? Is it midnight snacking
and watching movies? Is it doing laundry at weird
times throughout the day? Is it bowling with your
computer chairs in the hallway? Living in dorms can
include all of this and so much more. A new addition
to dorm life in the past few years is floor councils.
This gives individual floors in different halls a chance
to plan activities for their hall. It provides another phoio by tindsey wakci>
bonding opportunity for the hall. Activity ideas formed ^elanle Vogel and Sarah Meaher hang out in Melanie's room
^ i^r J ' discussing how their day went. Students enjoy hanging out and relaxing
by the floor councils include a Halloween door with friends in their rooms. Another favorite past time that Melanle
and Sarah enjoy is watching movies together in their rooms. Their
decorating contest, a Christmas party, and more. Living planning the schedule of events for the coming weekend.
in the dorms is an experience to remember.

Advances in Technology
By Christina Kane
Computers are an integral part of the daily activities on campus. Through E-Net, students are kept
updated on events going on around campus. The Campus Calendar is new to E-Net providing a weekly
breakdown of events on campus. Through online registration students are now able to register for their next
semester classes in the comforts of their own room. They were also able to drop and add classes as well
utilizing OnTrack. This addition has proven to be a wonderful asset to the Elon community for both
students faculty. It saves a lot of time for both and limits confusion and frustration. There were a few kinks
such as dealing with so many students registering at the same time, but all-in-all, registration ran quite
smoothly for students and faculty. Blackboard is another valuable resource on Elon's webpage. Blackboard
gives students the opportunity to communicate with their professor and fellow students. Homework
assignments and activities are given and completed through Blackboard. Computers are an asset to all
students and faculty. With the sixteen computer labs and five hundred and seven work stations on campus,
students can find one within easy reach to work, learn, research, and study on.

^hat have you enjoyed most about Elon?
"It has been three years since I have been here and I cannot beheve that it has been so long. Time
eally passes fast! My efforts to come here wouldn't be possible without the excellent support I received
rom the very beginning from the Elon administration. Whether it is the admission office, career center, or
he business school, their contribution to my overall personality and growth has been absolutely amazing!
roday I have an internship for the summer and I am looking at good job prospects in the future. I don't
hink I would have been the same person today if I was to be in India. Elon has expanded my horizons of
)pportunities and given me the prospects that only few can achieve. My four years at Elon have given me
n overall experience that I will carry along with me when I graduate. I feel proud to be associated with this
nstitution that has played an essential role in my personality development. The students, friends, and
acuity that I have had at Elon are also marvelous. They have been of tremendous aid and support."
X^hat have you missed from home?
"Even though I love being at Elon, there is nothing that can replace home. I miss home alot, and I
uess it's just because one gets a feeling of belonging there. I miss everything about home from family,
riends, food, and culture. Amongst the many things, I miss cultural holidays and traditions,because that is a
,ime to get together with your family."

Take Back the Night March
By Christina Kane
On the evening of April 16, more than 350 students gathered in
Whitley Auditorium to participate in the Take Back the Night March.
This march is an annual event that demonstrates Elon's commitment to
ending all forms of violence against women. In the weeks prior, students
made T-shirts as a part of the Clothesline Project that were on display
in Moseley during the days before and outside Whitley during the event.
The evening began with testimonials from sexual assault victims and
music by Twisted Measure and Elon's Finest. After the presentation, the
students marched from Whitley Auditorium to the Moseley Center
taking back the night."

Remembering Professor
George Sleek
1955-2003
By Christina Kane
Taken from the
Pendulum Article
written by Lindsay
Porter
George Sleek was an associate professor of physical therapy education at
Elon since 1997. Only 48 years, Sleek passed away on April 16 from a massive
heart attack. Elizabeth Rogers, associate dean of physical therapy commented, "I
believe we can all take comfort knowing that George died in one of his favorite
places--a clearing he had created in his own backyard in that 110 acres."

"Some things never change, but thank heavens at Elon, they
do! Most of all, Elon is a place where we are encouraged to
change-we are challenged as students and as faculty/staff to
learn, grow, develop our ideas, take risks, and constantly
change and shape the person we want to be. I have learned
that change is what really keeps me energized! So, one of the
gifts my years at Elon has provided me is the enjoyment of
change and the courage to do it!"

FALL & SPRING
CONVOCATION
Fall Convocation, held on Sept. 18, brought Benazir
Bhutto, the exiled former prime minister of Pakistan.
"Democracy: The Never Ending Batde" speech allowed
Bhutto to address global issues surrounding terrorist attacks
and Sept. 11,2001.
Bhutto described her relations with the AlQaeda
during her time as prime minister. "I stood up to them. I
took them on, and paid die price." She described how her
exile was forced after Osama bin Laden 's military regime
took oxer Pakistan. She continues, "How many Sept. 1 1 will
occur before we realize the greatest protection against
terrorism is replacing dictatorship with democracy? "
Bhutto implanted three words into the students
minds, "Yes, you can," encouraging students to not give up
s\hcn things get rough. "Don't accept the status quo or no
for an answer. "
Spring Convocation, held yearly to honor seniors and
students on the President's and Deans' lists, sold out with
2,800 people in attendance. On April 2, Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, well known for his activism against apartheid
By Laura Cunningham & Allison Grimes
in Soutii Africa, addressee! the student body and community
members with a speech entitled, "No Future Without
Forgiveness."
Tutu spoke of Africa's struggle for racial equiloity
and the importance of world leaders' uniting. "Wlien all live
as God intended us to live, we will see true securits'. God has
a dream that one day we, God's children, will realize that we
are all members of a family," said Tutu, explaining the
importance of world collaboration.
With the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" continuing,
Tutu chose not to speak all about the war, but did have a few
things to say. "The example [America is] giving now is if
you are powerfril, you can thumb your nose at the rest of
the world - you can do what you want. It's a sad pattern
one would have hoped would not be the case. This is not
x\'hat makes your country great, " said Tutu. He further stated,
"We in South Africa learned that true security' cannot be
procured from the barrel of a gun. It looks like a far better
way of resolving conflict is not from a barrel of a gun."

ARTS & SCIENCES
Since Elon College became Elon University in 200 1 ,
U. S. News, Harvard Schmarvard, and multiple other sources
lave recognized Elon for its outstanding academics and
iberal arts studies. Compared to similar colleges, Elon's
Jberal Arts program is unique because students are
equired to participate in core classes, research, leadership,
ervice learning, internships and study abroad. By requiring
tudents to complete a selection of courses, students are
:xpected to be better prepared and more involved in their
ield of interest.
To encourage broadened horizons and preparation
"or life experiences, students are required to participate in
:lasses from the primary categories of expression,
livilization, societ)' and science/analysis. By requiring a
iiverse selection of educational experiences, students
levelop the skills to analyze, evaluate, research and interpret
;xperiences.
Students are expected to participate in at least one
;ducational experience from within a field of research,
eadership, service learning, internship or study abroad,
fypically, those who major in science fi.ilfill their educational
;xperience requirements by helping a professor in specialized
By Laura Somerville & Laura Cunningham
research either by assisting in the lab and collecting research.
Leadership and service learning requirements have often
been more valuable for students involved in human services
majors. Students have obtained internships in the business
world in order to get a head start on job experience and
fijture employment. Opportunities such as working for a
magazine, bank, law firm or design company have been
among some of the few positions which have allowed
students to broaden their interests prior to entering the work
force. The study abroad program has enabled students to
become more aware of diverse cultures and international
differences. Stucients have traveled to locations such as
London, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Costa Rica, and Ghana.
As a result of the Liberal Arts Program, students
have not only become more diverse in their fields of interest,
but they have also expanded their personal views of life and
society.

PERFORMING ARTS
The Department of Performing Arts continues to
develop into a world-known program, introducing talented
ind ready students into the real world of performing. In the
1980s the Department of Performing Arts was introduced
:c) house the minors in dance, theatre, and a few other
:heatrical courses. By 1991, the Bachelor of Arts in theatre
irts and music theatre were developed. The following year,
he music theatre major developed into a Bachelor of Fine
\rts. In 1999, the performance and design concentration
vith the Bachelor of Arts was added. In 2001, the theatre
irt major was upgraded to a Bachelor of Fine Arts. In 2002,
he dance major was added. There is also a possibility for a
najor in design and production to be added in the fliture.
The Model Center for Fine Arts houses the
performing arts department. The new dance studio in Koury
Center has accommodated the increase in dance courses to
vork with the new major. As of 2002, there are 125 students
n the program. Only t\vo years ago, 85 students were
nvolved.
By Laura Cunningham & Allison Grimes
The Department of Performing Arts is one of the
few programs which requires a separate application and
interview in order to be accepted into the program.
Approximately 150 students audition each year, with only
32 students accepted per year.
Once a part of the program, students work diligently
with an advisor to prepare for auditions, create portfolios,
and acquire summer work in relation to the performing arts
field. Throughout the year the Department of Performing
Arts produces three plays, two musicals, two musical revues,
a dance concert, a festival of student-directed one-act plays,
and two student-written and directed play showcases.
During this year, several performances were held.
These included, "A Fine Romance," "Collage," "Under
Milk Wood," "The Music Man," "A Comedy of Errors,"
"The Crucible," and many others. In the spring, each
student has the chance to participate in the Spring Festival!
of Student Directed One-Act plays. This provides students
a chance to show off their hard work.

ACADEMIC VILLAGE
The Academic Village, a part of Elon's New
Century@Elon plan, began developing in summer 2002.
Iwo pavilions were erected by fall 2002, bringing more
:lassrooms and dorms to campus. The Honors Pavilion
liouses students within the Honors Fellows Program. The
International Pavilion includes international students and
students majoring in international studies or foreign
anguages.
As students began their first day of classes, many were
:onfused by their schedules. Under location of classroom
>vas listed a new code of either "AVIP" or "AVHP." Many
jtudents ran around confused on where they were supposed
:o go. Many students were happily surprised when they
discovered their classrooms in the Academic Village. The
pavilions include two new classrooms per pavilion which
louse about 20 students in new desks and equipment.
Each building houses 22 co-ed students who live in
mites which include two double rooms attached by a
bathroom. The pavilion also include a seminar room and
citchen/lounge area for use by resident students. The faculty

While many students are hesitant about living and

International Pavilion resident Hong Nguyen. "If we have

ELON DANCERS
Elon Dancers, a performance group of students,
livened the stage of McCrary Theatre May 8th through lOdi.
The dancers, who audition for their position, practice
dihgently in the new dance studio in Koury Center
throughout the year to prepare themselves for the concert.
The variet\' of dance techniques and specialities create
an environment for creativity to develop. Some dancers
performed since childhood, some ha\c developed a new
interest in the art, and some are dance and theatre majors
w ho plan to continue performing the rest of their life.
Both students, faculty and outside sources
collaborated to work on choreography. Grace McPhillips, a
Music Theatre major, made her choreographic debut at Elon
with "Man's Journey." The piece focused on the journey
humans take through life, death and their entering the
spiritual realm.
Jason Coosner, another Musical Theatre major, also
made his choreographic debut with a piece called "A Sweet
Awakening." The piece explored dance and its ability to
create aesthetic effect through shaping the physical form.

Kiira Schmidt worked with Gene Medler and Robert
Perrera in the choreography of " Part}' at 623, " the only tap
performance.
Shouze Ma, a new dance faculty member, made his
choreographic and performance debut at Elon with
" Essence. " His performances have been critically acclaimed
at dance festivals in France, Korea, Japan, India and Beijing.
Matthew Millikin, a Theatre Arts major with a Tech
emphasis, was the sound designer for the concert. His work
with the lighting/scenic director Dale Becherer set the
atmosphere of the dance concert.
Jon Metzger and the Elon University Percussion
Ensemble joined the dancers on stage for the performance
of "Cell." Choreographed by Jane Wellford, "Cell" was a
satire on the use of cell phones. According to Wellford,
"'Cell' is my response to our love/hate relationship with
technolog)', our dependence upon cell phones and, at the
same time, our longing to escape to the simplicity of
yesterday. "

STUDY ABROAD
In 1964, Elon's study abroad program took off with
trogram to London, England. Over that past years, the
irogram has developed, encompassing every continent with
he exception o f Antarctica. According to the National
Jurvey of Student Engagement 2002,75 percent of students
)articipate or plan to participate in a study abroad program
luring their four years at Elon.
Allyearround, students have the opportunity to culturally
nhance their lives. Amanda Marion, a Spanish and
orporate communications major, spent fall in Spain living
vith a Spanish family and learning in a Spanish-speaking
miversity. Another student, Kristin Simonetti, studied film
n Australia over Winter Term. Students flew to California
nd toured the MGM Studios then flew to Australia where
hey studied the Australian film industry.
In the spring, a group of NC Teaching Fellows and
elected students traveled to London, England. These
tudents took classes, taught in the classrooms, and traveled
cross Europe during their off days.
As part of the cultural experience, many students created
nemories through photographs. In the spring, the Isabella
];annon Center for International Studies showcased

photographs and essays submitted by study abroad students.
In a variet)' of categories, students were recognized for
capturing their cultural and educational experience abroad.
Essay winners included Shannon Campbell ' s " Traditional
Irish Sports," Amanda Strandquist's "Inspiration through
Conservation," and Courtney Speight's "An Experience that
Changed a Lifetime. "
The photography contest included four categories:
people, aspects of culture, places, and viewer's choice. Jen

The Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Lab, directed by veteran
jazz musician Jon Metzger, are a \ital part of Elon's Jazz
Studies Program.
The Jazz Ensemble concentrates on the key stydistic
ingredients of "America's Classical Music," swing and
improvisation. During Winter Term, the ensemble goes on
a professional tour which offers invaluable life experiences

responsibilities of small group play. There is a great deal of
improvisations as the Lab focuses on solo construction,
architectural design of standards and jazz classics, the bebop
language, group interaction, and ear training. The Jazz Lab
performs in their own concerts as well as with Elon's vocal
jazz ensemble Elan.
Elon Impro Vibes, an Elon run recording company

In the Spring of 1998, the students developed a plan to
produce a jazz CD. Since the company began, five
recordings have been introduced. This includes "Teach Me
Tonight" featuring Jon Metzger's Quartet. This company
offers die jazz students a chance to record and market their
music productions.
The Jazz Department holds an annual Jazz Festival.
Beginning five years ago with only a handfi.il of bands, the
festival expanded into a two-day festival. On March 5 and
6, more than 15 visiting high school bands, an all-festival
big band, Elon's Jazz ensembles and guest soloists
performed. Retired Navy Commodores Jazz Band
members, Steve Abshire and John Jensen were the guest
clinicians for two years in a row. Steve Ashire, guitarist, has

conservative paper, did not editorialize the important issues
of the time.
Students in Professor Jessica Gisclair's Honors
Media Law and Ethics course prepared a mock trial

"When I first came to Elon (1 964), the only facilities
located north of Haggard Avenue were the power
plant and Alumni Gym with a huge "dirt" parking
lot in between the two facilities. Look at us now -
Alumni Gym has been expanded to include Koury
Center. Rhodes Stadium, Latham Park, Belk Track,
and Rudd, Tucker, and Hunt Fields are now at
North campus. So, yes, things have changed! On
the other hand, in 1964 our athletics program was
affilitated with a conference that included
the likes of Appalachian State and
Western Carolina universities. Next season
(2003), we will be rejoining those two
universities as we move into the Southern
Conference. In a sense, as we change we
in some ways stay the same. The friendly, caring,

certainly remained constant."

IThe 2002 baseball team was the first Elon Baseball Team to quality tur
the NCAA's Division 1 Baseball Tournament. Their season schedule
featured six games against opponents ranked in the nation's top 20.
The Phoenix emerged with a 3-3 record against those teams, including a
win over No. 1 Clemson on May 9, 2002.
2 Twenty-three Elon baseball players have made it to the big leagues,
playing for several organizations including the Oakland Athletics,
Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Whit Bryant, who graduated
in 2002 and owns Elon's record in at-bats (822), hits (280), doubles (55)
and RBI (289), was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 24th round of

4 As result of the sweeping changes to the game of football following
tormer President Tlieodore Roosevelt's concerns regarding the violence
and brutality of the game, the NCAA was formed. In the fall of 1909,
Elon deemed the game worthy of being sanctioned as a varsity sport on its
campus. The first Elon football game was played against Greensboro High
School ot the lawn in front of West dorm. The Fightin' Christians lost that
game 60-0, and then lost to Birmingham Military Academy later in the season
12-5. The team's first win came against Reidsville Seminary, 22-5.
Football was one and done at Elon as the school got rid of the sport
after the first season. This was not because the game was violent but rather
because Elon faculty felt that football players missed too much class practicing
and playing games.
5 Richard McGeorge, a former Fightin' Christians football player, played
professionally for the Green Bay Packers in the early 1970s. When
the Packers played on ABC's "Monday Night Football," fans would
reportedly hear references to a little-known school Howard Cosell called
"tiny Elon College" when McGeorge entered the game.

6 Women's basketball became a sanctioned sport at Elon in the 1970s.

egional playoffs where they captured the consolation championship by

7 All varsity sports were suspended when America entered World War
II. Intramural sports flourished in the absence of intercollegiate
athletics. In the fall of 1942, Elon held a Fall Sports Festival on
""hanksgiving Day. The festival featured a championship football game
letween two fraternities, Kappa Psi and I.TK., who played to a scoreless tie.
The women participated in a volleyball tournament which Ladies Hall

aking the men's title and Ladies Hall winning the women's bracket.

9 Coach Bill Morningstar has been a head coach at Elon for longer
than most students and staff members have been alive. Morningstar
began his coaching career in 1973 when the former Fightin' Christians
basketball guard was hired to coach the men's golf team. He assisted the
men's basketball team beginning in 1972 and served as the team's head coach
from 1980-86. In 1993, he added a new challenge: coaching the men's cross
county team.
In all, Morningstar has been named coach of the year for golf 1 5
times and cross county, three times. His 1982 Fightin' Christians golf team
won the 1982 NAIA Golf Championship, and his cross country team
took the South Atlantic Conference crown three times. Morningstar was
inducted into the Elon Sports Hall of fame in 1988 and in the NAIA Hall

HITTING HARD
Photo by Brian Viebranz
The Elon Phoenix Softball Team
opened the 2003 softball season by falling
to both Ohio and George Mason at the
Triangle Classic. They moved to 2-2 on
the season after using three home runs to
sweep a softball doubleheader from visiting
Delaware State. In the first game, Jenny
Gustin went deep with a three-run shot in
the bottom of the second, advancing Elon's
lead to 5-2. A loss to UMD Baltimore
County at the Elon Classic was recovered
with two victories over Appalachian State
and James Madison. At JMU, Jamie
Dupont slammed a two-run homer over the
fence in right center field to cap a five-run
Phoenix third inning. Freshman pitcher
Whitney Meeks hurled two strike outs and
two walks while holding JMU scoreless six
of the seven innings. After a loss to NC
A&T, Elon took UNC Wilmington setting
the season's record at nine wins to seven
losses.
Elon then saw a four-game losing
streak but hosting NC A&T, the Phoenix
claimed the first game but the Aggies
captured the second one, splitting the
double header. After dropping the opening
game of the doubleheader to North
Carolina- Chapel Hill, the Phoenix earned
a 3-3 tie with the Tar Heels as the game
was called due to darkness. The Phoenix
pounded out 19 hits en route to a
doubleheader sweep of Appalachian State.
Lauren Christie threw the complete game
giving up only two hits and earning her
first collegiate victory. After four more
losses, Elon took on Charleston Southern
to conclude its regular season with a sweep
over CSU, 11-3 and 6-0. The Phoenix
was led by Melton in the second game,
where she went two-for-two, including a
home run, with three RBIs. Lamb pitched
a complete game shutout. Fourth-ranked
Elon lost the first-round game against fifth-
seeded host Winthrop in the Big South
Softball Championship but advanced to
play number two-ranked Radford. Losing
to Radford and leaving the tournament,
Elon finished the season 20-24-1.

KEEPING THE SPIRIT
Elon began its second year of varsity
heerleading under coach Sandra Bays. Coach Bays
'as a four-year co-ed cheerleader, and three-year team
aptain and two-time MVP while at Elon. Her
heerleading, dance and coaching experiences span
ver 13 years and include serving as a judge of
ompetitions and try outs. Her experience has helped
he varsity team excel and she is an excellent
lotivator.
This year the team added a number of new
•eshmen to fill the spots of seniors. By spending
ime together, both inside and outside practice, the
;am quickly became a close community. Although
Key have fun together, they are extremely hard
'orkers. They practice several times a week for hours,
'hey are also required to attend the National
^heerleading Association College's camp in Myrtle
ieach in August. This year at the camp, the team
amed a bid to the National Competition in Spirit
Awards and all superior ribbons for evaluations.
The team begins tryouts in the spring semester
before the season and then in August for freshmen.
The all Female team is required to cheer November
to March, while the co-ed team cheers from August
to March. The women's Basketball team is
supported by the all female team and selected
football games and pep rallies. The co-ed team is
responsible for all football games and men's
Basketball games. The are required to travel with
the teams for select away games and tournaments.
The team is very spirited and devoted to
cheering on many athletic teams. They also work
hard to motivate the fans during halftime at the
games by encouraging crowd involvement. The
Phoenix mascot also works hard to entertain the
crowd, strutting its stuff and visiting fans. The team
and the Phoenix work hard to pump of the spirit,
especially when times are tough. They cheer, tumble
and perform stunts to promote Phoenix spirit.

at Elon, the Dance Team are found
on the feild at foothall games and on
the court at basketball games. They
entertain and motivate the crowd
during half-time shows, the dance

second year at Elon. She is a graduate
of Elon and was a four-year co-ed

the team with a wide range of
experience, some had taken dance
classes all their lives, while some were
dance majors and minors. The team
captains choregraph the dance, but the
whole team contributes ideas. The team
capitans are also there to motivate and
keep order.

Decked out in burgundy and white, the band
marches onto the field playing the Elon Fighting
song. The "Fire ot the Carolinas" a group of
woodwinds, brass and percussion began in the fall
of 2001, along with the opening of Rhodes Stadium.
The Elon Marching Band is offered as a one-hour
credit class and is an open ensemble. Elon band
students devote three days a week to practice and
give up many Saturdays to travel with the football
team. The band entertains the fans during football
games and performs a routine during halftime. The
purpose of the band is "to be the center of game-
day spirit in support of the Phoenix football team,
while endeavoring to enjoy a worthwhile activity
to a high degree of excellence. The Elon Marching
Band performs an intricate drill in classic style." The
a special section of the band is also responsible for
entertainment at the men's basketball games.
The marching band is under the direction of
Dr. Bill Dejournett, who came to Elon from
Colorado State University. Dr. Dejournett is a
former member of the Spirit of Atlanta, as well as a!
former brass and visual instructc^r for the Phantom
Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps of Illinois. His
articles have appeared in the Instrumentalist
magazine and currently he serves on the Board of
Directors for the Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle
Corps of Fort Mill, South Carolina. At the end of
this academic year, William De Journett resigned
with these words:
To the past and future members of the band . . .
"It has been my great honor to lead you the past
two seasons. My hope for you as a band and as
individuals is that you continue to work hard and
sacrifice, knowing that the reward at the end of the
day is well worth the effort you put into it. Work
for the band, and the band will work for you. I
know I will see great things from the Elon University
Marching Band in the future"

ince 1950, the campus has grown in size and structure. As Elon's
. 'student population grew, the need to build and expand was seen.
Today, Elon's campus stretches over 500-acres of land.
f 1'^est, housing 87 girls, is the oldest building on campus. When the
Vk campus burned down in 1923, it was one of the few buildings to
survive. A circulating rumor claims that the third floor is haunted by a
victim of the fire.
<^lamance is a central building on campus. Alamance County citizens
/Idontated the money to build Alamance in 1935. The original
administrative building. Main, was destroyed by the fire.
C^e newest addition to the Elon campus is the Academic Village,

International Studies Pavilion and the Honors Pavilion opened fall 2002.
It is projected that a total of seven buildings will be erected in the following
years.

Sixty years ago Elon College was a small, locally
oriented, unaccredited college. Students came
primarily from North Carolina and Southeastern
Virginia. The growth and development of the
institution during the past six decades is
phenomenal. Student enrollment, faculty
credientials, physical plant, curriculum offering,
extra curricular activities, and prestige have
undergone incredible expansion and
improvement. Looking ahead, the future
is bright and new heights will be attained."

(Right) On January 18,1 923, a fire swept across
campus. While the fire ignition has never been
discovered, it is known that school records,
classrooms, and the library were destroyed. Only
West dormitory, which still stands today, was
saved from the fire.
(Bottom Left) Main Building was one of the first
buildings erected on campus. It was destroyed by
the 1 923 fire. Two years later, it was replaced by
the central quad on campus. Alamance has
replaced Main as the center of campus.
(Bottom Right) With the building of Mooney, new
classrooms were made for students. Most
classrooms were plain in decoration and consisted
of a single light, a few desks shared among
students, and wooden chairs.

The Rise and Fall
On March 11, 1889, the North Carolina
Bgislature issued the charter for Elon College.
;ion College was founded by the Christian
Church and located at Mill Point. William S.
.ong, the founder, became the first president,
eventy-six students enrolled during the first
ear.
Within the first decade of its opening.

nd indoor plumbing helped students cope

with the weather. In 1907, electricity brought
light to classrooms.
In 1923 a fire swept campus, destroying
many of the school's records and buildings.
Reconstruction cost $822,000. With the help of
the community, enough funds were raised to
build the central quad of Mooney, Carlton,
Duke, Alamance and Whitley within two
years of the fire.

Bringing Up Past
1889 in 2003
In February 2003, President Leo Lambert
shared a story about an unexpected letter and
gift sent to Elon University. Mrs. Irene Williiard
of High Point, N.C. donated a 1 00-year old
family heirloom to Elon. The gold pocket watch
was owned and carried by Dr William S. Long,
founder and first president of Elon College.
The passage of this gift represents the timeless
nature of Elon and its link to the history and
fiiture.

Moving forvN/ard
With World War I and the Great
Depression, Elon's enrollment decreased to 87
in 1931. Financial collapse and instability
forced President Leon Edgar Smith to convince
creditors to accept partial payments. Many
faculty and staff sacrificed parts of their
salaries. The Fund drive launched in hopes of
gathering more funding to make payments.
During World War II, Elon trained 672
pilots for the Army Air Force. The increased
enrollment provided financial stability. When
the GIs returned in 1946, enrollment increased
to 700. Alumni Memorial Gymnasium was

and WWII.
When finances increased, Eloi

transported materials from Carlton to the nev

(Left) In 1959, Elon became one of the first
Southeast colleges with a Language Lab. On third
floor Mooney, students attended classes where
tape recordings were used. For many students,
this was the first time they could hear their voices'
recorded and played back to them.
(Bottom Right) Hands-on education has been a
long standing tradition at Elon. In the 1940s
physics students performed experiments in Duke
Science Building. The laboratory equipment was
large and limited in its capabilities. The science
building was upgraded in future years to include
more classrooms and technology.
(Bottom Left) Long Student Center, built in 1966,
offered students an eating and social atmosphere
with the Snack Shop on the first floor. Long Student
Center now houses the Love School of Business.
With the NewCentury@Elon plans, the Long
Building will once again change as the Love School
of Business is relocated.
Now and Then
a /95Dte2003
Fines for parking violations were only $ 1 .00 for first offense
and were paid to the Student Body Treasure. Today, fines
are $70.00 when towed and are paid to Campus Security.
Twice a week, students had to attend Chapel. Today,
religious services and organizations are offered, but not
required.
Students were required to maintain proper dress attire in
chapel and dining hall. Today, students wear pajamas across
campus.
Freshmen could not leave campus for their first six weeks
of school. After the first six weeks, they had to be
chaperoned by an upper-class women. Today, students
are free to roam as they please.
Laundry was collected weekly fi-om the campus or students
could do their own laundry using the Bendix washers. Today,
students must wash their own clothes in their residence hall
facilities.

The Future of E on
2003-???? «»^
The NewCentury@Elon strategic plan is based on the idea
of being "a national model of engaged learning founded
upon our tradition of innovation and community."
Goal 1: Enhance academic excellence.
These include working to add a Phi Betta Kappa chapter,
gaining accreditation for the business and communications
programs, advancing the Elon Experiences, and enhancing
the academic climate on campus through evaluations.
Goal 2: Provide facility to support excellence.
This is in process with the development and erection of the
Academic Village, renovations to Carlton, additional
housing in Danieley Center, and Belk Track. Future plans
include developing the Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center
as the new home for the Love School of Business. Plans
are in order for developing Downtown Elon through
growing community and business relations on Williamson
Avenue. There are also plans to slow traffic on Haggard
Avenue for student use. The student interest and population
has outgrown Alumni Gym; therefore, there are thoughts
of erecting a convocation center.
Goal 3: Provide resources to support excellence.
To support excellence, resources need to increase. The
plan is to raise the endowment an additional $50 million in
cash and planned gifts. This money is needed to support
the NewCentury@Elon plans. Endowed scholarships are
important to bringing more opportunities to students. The
current endowed scholarships have already helped students
of need attend Elon. Elon programs, such as the Isabella
Cannon Leadership Fellows and Isabella Cannon Centre
for Intemational Studies, need to continue to be endowed
by others. The hopes are to endow programs such as
undergraduate research. Public Policy histitute, Center for
Teaching and Learning, and the Honors Program as to add
grants and money to help develop learning. Schools like
the Love School of Business is greatly recognized due to
its endowment. There are hopes to endow the School of
Communications, School of Education, and Elon College,
the College of Arts and Sciences. Professorship
endowments are also needed to support undergraduate
research and chairs within educational programs.

Moving For\A/arcl
In the past 33 years, Elon has undergone
incredible growth and change from a college
to university to renovating and erecting new
and renovating old buildings. By 1973, Elon's
enrollment increased to 2000 students. A
decade later in 1986, enrollment was over
3000. In 2000, over 4000 students came to Elon.
In 1984, the Martha and Spencer Love
School of Business and the MBA program
developed with a $1 million endowment.
Other masters programs later developed: the
masters in education came in 1986 and in
physical therapy in 1998.
The social community began the widely
popular College Coffee in 1984 as a break from
classes to unite students, faculty and staff

In 1995, Former Prime Minister of
Britain Margaret Thatcher dedicated

Library also introduced more education into
Elon. In 2001, the football which had been
playing and practicing at Williams High
School got a home on campus: Rhodes

commencements; the first in 1891 as a baby in his
mother's arms. Dean A.L. Hook attended 74
consecutive commencements and died on his 75th
commencement day. President Emeritus Earl
Danieley is completing his 62nd year at the
university as either a student or faculty . . . Perhaps
the most enduring and consistent Elon

From the Eves of a Graduate
Mary Beth Brozina
Graduating from Elon, for me. can be summed up in one word-'
nttersweet. I am excited and willing to pursue my music career and
•ee what the world has to offer me. but I am sad to part with my
Yiends and professors, all who have come to shape and mold me
nto the person that / am today.
tlon has challenged me in many ira.rs. As a music major, time to do
everything is pertinent. I learned to juggle rehearsals, performances,
'nd outside gigs along with classes, papers, exams, and as much of
! social life as / could fit in. I was pushed in ways that, while I would
•ometimes protest, bettered myself not only as a musician, but as a
lerson. Elon has provided a place for me to grow and blossom into
vho I am today. The good times by far outnumbered the bad times,
md yes. the stressful times did outnumber the easy times, but it was
ust what / needed. No one here would let me shirk any of my
'ssponsibilities. so / dug in. held on. and I have succeeded. Afy
nentor. teacher, and friend Jon Metzger said something to me a
ong time ago, and I have taken it with me every day of my life since-'
ie told me that I can learn from any experience or any person.
Ibviously. if the experience was good, then I could learn what made
t that way. and if the experience was not so good. 1 could learn what
lot to be like, or what to do to avoid those situations in the future.
That opened my eyes to a whole new light and changed my ways of
hinking. I was just looking for and taking in the positive things and
ust grumbling about the bad ones instead of learning from them,
yince then, f have been on my toes with eyes and ears wide open,
vady to learn and read}- to grow.
' am thankful and grateful for every single experience that / have
^countered during my time here, f am leaving with a sense of pride
md accomplishment, and I am secure in the fact that everything /
earned will help me somewhere down the road. Just because 1 am
eaving physically does not mean that my ties are severed. I will
tlways be a part of Elon. just as Elon will always be a part of me. I am
)roud of my alma mater, and I am proud of who I have become.

By Laura Cunningham and Eric Hydric_
Friday, May 23, 2003:
At 3p.m. Chaplain Ricliard McBride began the Baccalaureate

your parents — eye to eye -- adult to adult." Students were furthe
challenged to think and act like adults when pressured by The Re\

their neighbors.
During the Leaders of the 21st Century ceremony students wh(
completed all four years of Elon's scholars and fellows program-
were recognized. President Leo Lambert addressed the 119 senior;
of the eight programs, thanking them for their involvement
"Collectively and individually you have left your stamp on Elon."
At the Master of Business Administration Graduation Ceremony

urging students to remember kindness brings more rewards thai
yelling and controlling.

about violence and problems in the world which was
wrapped up in a chorus where he said, "What time
is it y'all" and the audience replied, "No time for
foolishness."

From the Eyes of a Graduate
Christian Wiggins
After four years, after all the classes, tests, and long weeks, you
would think that a person would be ready to graduate. Within the
four years there certainly are a number of trials to overcome as a
college student. You must leave home, learn to be responsible in a
number of ways, make friends, survive and then leave, all within
four short years. Even with all of the challenges of college, there are
so many rewards, such as lasting friendships, memories that last a
lifetime and finding who you are and where you want to go.
4s I have watched the weeks pass, with mixed emotions of wishing
them to pass more quickly and then at times wanting to hold onto
each minute f have left, f have come to realize that graduation isn't
about leaving Elan. Instead. I have come to embrace just the opposite.
While I know that I will leave the physical place of Elon University. I
also know that Elon has left with me a number of things that will
never leave me.
As a senior standing on the threshold of life. I am thankful for the
opportunities and experiences that I have had at college. My
graduation isn't a symbol of the end, but instead a sign of a new
beginning with new knowledge and a revised sense of purpose for
'life.

Day 3: Commencennent
By Laura Cunningham and Eric HydricI
Saturday, May 24, 2003:
With anxiety and excitement levels rising, the graduating class o
2003 awoke to an early morning of celebration. Beginning at 7: IT
a.m. seniors, families, faculty and staff congregated around FonvilU
F'ountain for a continental breakfast. An hour later, seniors began ii'
line up in alphabetical order in Jordan Gym.
The 1 13th Commencement began at 9:30 a.m. as the anxiety of tht
past year came to an end with commencement. Under the Oaks, 86^
students walked across stage to receive their diplomas. Deboral
Yow-Bowden, a 1974 Elon graduate and first female athletics directoi
at the University of Maryland, addressed the graduating clas^
after earning an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from th
university. She concluded her speech with a saying she used witl
her basketball teams: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest unti
the good gets better and your better becomes best."
In accordance with tradition, President Leo Lambert concludec
Commencement with the cry of "Long live Elon." The seniors ther
proceeded out to Scott Plaza led by Lambert, Yow-Bowden and Elor
faculty. At the reception, graduates picked up an oak sapling as i
reminder that their class was the first to receive the acorn when the>
entered as a freshman and now they leave with an oak tree.
