Number four truly will be missed, even by a Vikings fan
Brett Favre’s retirement is finally upon us. I personally find this announcement very hard to believe, after watching his gun slinging ways since my days in elementary school. As a Minnesota Vikings fan, it was impossible not to love to hate the irresistible Favre, a true gamer. The NFL will finally say goodbye to the […]
Keys to victory for the Women’s Basketball team Friday night
Having watched the Judges since January of this year, I have to say that they are an interesting squad., capable of dominance and equally capable of arousing sheer despair. With a tough match up coming up against Southern Maine, here is what I see as vital to a Judges’ victory in no particular order: 1. […]
The vegan kind of life
It’s 2 o’clock on a Monday. Lower Usdan and Sherman have just closed for lunch. But Emily Gelb ‘11 has only eaten a Luna bar, despite having woken up at 9:15 and gone to two classes. Gelb, unlike a typical college student, hasn’t skipped a meal because she is pressed for time, or because she’s […]
Brandeis students help fight AIDS epidemic
5 seconds. Not much more than a heartbeat. Not much more than a slight turn of the head. Not much of anything. Yet within those 5 seconds, a person in a different part of the world just died. Be it a father, a mother, a son, or a daughter. Be it an Aunt or an […]
Environmental Studies Field Semester: no mere walk in the park for Brandeis students

Strong defense will lead Men’s team to a win
With the Men hosting the tournament after one of their best years in the program’s history, they come in as the presumptive favorites. In tournament time though, anything can happen; Cinderella teams grow from the patch while the favored princes turn into toads. Tonight’s match against Lasell could go either way for Brandeis if they […]

An Arabian Night
Be very cautious when using Google Maps. Or, well, at least make sure that you have the correct address. I tell you this from experience. On Tuesday, March 4 I attended a spectacular Middle Eastern concert at Tufts University held in the school’s brand new Granoff Music Hall. The music hall’s address is 20 Talbott […]
