On Page 1 of the Oct. 25
edition of The Pendulum, the
teaser for the sports section
said the mens soccer team
has qualified for the play
offs. In fact, they still had to
play a game to decide if they
would make the playoffs. The
Pendulum regrets the error.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY - NEW MASCOT SELECTION
PHOTO FROM THE PHI PSICLI1983 YEARBOOK COURTEST OE ELON UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
This week in 1999, President
Lambert named a 15-member task
force to rename Elon University’s
mascot. The committee consisted
of staff, students and faculty to
voice their opinons and share their
ideas about moving away from the
mascot “the Fighting Christians.”
The committee’s first meeting
was scheduled for Nov. 4, 1999.
They asked for student input
online.
The decision to change the
mascot was not popular for some
at first.
Dr. Alan White, Co-director of
athletics said, “There were some
concerns and questions about why
we are doing this.”
Columnist listed under the
name “A.EC. Forever” aired
grievances in the November 4,
1999 edition of the Pendulum!
expressing concern about
ch;mging the face of the school.
I am writing to express my
absolute shock and dismay at
the announcement to abandon
the nickname and mascot of
the Fighting Christians and the
likely reason behind it,” A.EC.
Forever wrote.
White said he hopes there
be a positive reaction when
the mascot is finally changed.
“I hope there will be a cam-
pus-wide celebration on that day”
said White. “We would possibly
give out T-shirts or new memen
tos with the new logo.

Elon
University's
mascot used
to be The

Christian,
until
President
Leo Lambert
decided it
was time for
a change.

grape-picking [
record on local farm '
Elon University students Brianna
Goulding and Gabriele Shaw pick 3(1
pounds of grapes in less than an hour
during the “Big Pick” event the Guilford
County Farm.
“It was actually really fiin,” Goulding
said. “Even though it was kind of a
gloomy day out, it was fun to experience
it and we learned a lot.”
The event was for the public to help
the farm donate grapes to local food
banks, and send the grapes to make a
grape festival to make wine. Everyone
was invited to help pick grapes off
the 300 vines and 600 acres. The two
students didn’t know by serving that
they would be setting a record.
