You may have never heard of Michael Paoloni, whc>, until
just recently, has kept his _identity a secret.- but there's
a chance you've hearc:l of Elle Raiser. ·
Paoloni, senior who hails from Palm Beach, Florida, is a
Sports Administration major V.:ith a double minor in Jlustice
Administration and Communications.
Elle Raiser - it's hard to "define exactly what it is. Firstly, '
it's a Twitter and Facebook account. Paoloni stepped inside
the Cardinal's office to talk about his baby - ~n internet
domain that's transformed how Uofl athletic fans c nnect.
Secondly, Paoloni is Elle Raiser. "Anyone that kno s me
knows that I'm on my phone every day from when I wake
up until when I go to bed." It's a full-tim~ job that he's taken
on for the love of Louisville.
"The reason why I wanted to keep it a secret Is because
it's not about me. If someone reads a sports website, 'every­one
knows whose opinion it is. The focus wasn't on me ...
it's about the sports and athletes:'
The Florida native explained that it all started with an
RSO called L-Raisers, and when he saw opportunity to
make the name much bigger than it was, he went for. it.

to students, refugees and visitors on last Monday at the Univer­sity
of Louisville's Comstock Hall. Suu Kyi discussed the process of
democratization that her country began about two years ago and
how it continues today.
Suu Kyi said that she would like the democratization process to be
viewed with "cautious optimism:' ·
"It worries me a little that many may think there is no longer any
need for them to make an effort to help along the democratization of
Burma;' Suu Kyi said. "It is now that we need your support· more than .
eyer, your intelligent support because you need to be aware of what
is going on in Burma:' ·
Suu Kyi spoke for nine minutes. She took questions from the audi­ence
for the rest of the hour.
