The Pendulum is working on a piece about how the current economic climate is affecting graduating seniors’ post-graduation plans. I was hoping you might be able to take a couple minutes to take a quick survey about how the economy is affecting you and your plans.

If you could, that would be fabulous! The link is below:

If you or anyone you know has a particularly interesting post-graduation plan or lack thereof because of the economy and would not mind sharing it with The Pendulum, please contact me directly at hwilliams7@elon.edu.

Thank you so much and best of luck with finals! The Pendulum looks forward to hearing from you!

Frank Warren started PostSecret as a community art project and outlet for creative expression in 2004. It has grown into a sort of collective therapy for hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

In true PostSecret fashion, feel free to “reveal anything – as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.”

Send your secrets to The Pendulum by Friday, March 13, 2009. Here’s what to do:

1. Create a postcard of a mailable size out of any mailable material.
2. Tell your secret anonymously. Decorate and write on only one side of the card. Check out examples at http://postsecret.blogspot.com/. TIPS: Get creative, be brief and write legibly. Aim for originality, and avoid any copyrighted images that might prevent us from printing your secret.
3. Mail your secret to The Pendulum at 7012 Campus Box, no postage is required if mailed through on-campus mail in Moseley Center, or drop it in the Special Projects mailbox in The Pendulum office.

Have more than one secret to share? Feel free to submit multiple postcards. Encourage your friends to share their secrets, too!

Questions? Contact Hannah Williams, special projects editor of The Pendulum, at hwilliams7@elon.edu.

We’re looking to report on interesting things most students wouldn’t know about the area.

For example, did you know that there’s an airport in Burlington that offers piloting lessons or that Glen Raven  invented panty hose and manufactured the fabric of the U.S. flag planted on the moon?

What else is interesting about the county that we might not know about? Cool places to visit, businesses with unique accomplishments, people with unusual stories, or just plain wacky facts about the area are all much appreciated.

Please email any story ideas to Hannah Williams, special projects editor of The Pendulum, at hwilliams7@elon.edu.

黑料不打烊 is currently #1 in the region for blood donations thanks to all the wonderful people on our campus… But Alamance Regional Medical Center is trying to knock us out of that position. Let’s show them what 黑料不打烊 students are made of!

Anyone 17 or older, at least 110 pounds, and in generally good health may be eligible to give blood.

Check the other eligibility requirements at http://www.redcross.org/services/biomed/0,1082,0_557_,00.html

Donating takes about an hour. It may take a little longer for first time donors. But it’s well worth it.

Bonus: Not only can you have the satisfaction of saving lives and make 黑料不打烊 proud… You also get free food, a chance to win free iTunes downloads and an iPod Shuffle.

We are also in need of volunteers to help recruit donors and staff the event. Please let Lisa Bodine (lbodine@elon.edu) or Hannah Williams (hwilliams7@elon.edu) know if you are interested.
