On Tuesday, March 10, Susan Scannell, Associate Vice President of Campus Services, sent an email announcing that Sherman Dining Hall will reopen for non-Kosher dining on March 16. Meanwhile, Kosher dining options will remain offered in either the Faculty Club or The Stein depending on the day of the week. According to Scanell, “The fire in Sherman caused significant damage throughout the dining hall and conference center, which requires extensive repairs, along with inspections and clearance from the City of Waltham, before we can resume full use of the building.” Scanell further said that “Kosher dining will continue to be available at the Kosher Table in the Faculty Club for Meat Days (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) for the rest of the semester.” After Passover break, “The Stein will open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Kosher Dairy Days for all meals, with seating available in both the Stein and the Feldberg

On March 3, Brandeis University announced the release of “From Upheaval to Action: What Works in Changing Higher Ed,” a book co-written by Brandeis President Authur Levine and Scott J. Van Pelt, Director of Research and Faculty Affairs at the
Following the completion of the new residence hall, which is currently under construction on the lower campus, Brandeis is considering plans to demolish East Quad. This plan was first revealed to The Hoot during our exclusive interview with Arthur Levine
As of the publication of this article, Sherman Dining Hall continues to be closed for students due to ongoing renovations as a result of the fire on Feb. 2. According to the most recent email correspondence to students at 11:58
“Pocket Card Jockey” is a mix of horse racing and solitaire, where the better you play solitaire, the better your horse performs, but not without correctly paying attention to a handful of factors like the motivation, mood, and positioning of your horse that could be a boon for your performance and sponsor or spell out your doom on the track. The premise is fittingly just as ridiculous. You play as a lazy jockey who tried to ride a racing horse and got kicked off so hard that they died. But fret not! They were revived by an angel (that looks suspiciously like the jockey trainer) who forced them to make a deal in return for their return to life: since they’ve been playing solitaire on easy mode on their
Ask yourself this question: Independently of your work quality, how confident are you in your assignments when you turn them in? When I was a kid, my answer was none. I had no self-confidence after years of getting bullied. I
Last time on Sunblighted: Tev brings Lih and Gefrol to an inn, suspicion hanging in the air. Despite the distrust, Gefrol leaves Lih in Tev’s care, as a test, while he explores the village, reflecting on his own lack of
Last time on Sunblighted: As Tev, the mysterious Canthi lookalike, guides Gefrol and a passed-out Lih through the forest, Gefrol is confident that Lih has made this better future possible, and that he can help Lih fix the world. When
A young, progressive, relatively unknown member of the state legislature runs for U.S. Senate, attempting to flip a seat held by a Republican. He wins the Democratic primary with 53% of the vote, including delivering strong margins in counties where Democrats had previously struggled. His message is one of unity and reaching out to voters who normally vote Republican. The primary that he won was record-breaking in terms of total spending. To my younger, less-politically-inclined readers, it may sound like I was describing the events of the Democratic primary in Texas last Tuesday. Some of my older readers, however, may have realized that I was talking about a different race entirely: Barack Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign. Of course, we all know the end of this story: Obama, in the middle
If you haven’t heard or told a 9/11 joke, I am going to assume you died on or before Sept. 10, 2001. 9/11 jokes have become deeply rooted in youth culture and especially comedy. This seems to intrinsically make sense
Hello again Hoot readers! Hopefully, you enjoyed the brief period of actually good weather that we just experienced. Now that the weather sucks again, though, we’re all back inside watching movies, so we felt like sharing with you our favorite
Hello again, our most valuable Hoot readers. For the past several weeks, our country’s greatest athletes competed in the Winter Olympics in Milan. Despite none of us being anywhere close to athletic enough to even have a chance to qualify,
Note: the following statement is made all in good fun and is not meant to critique the functioning of the Mathematics Department (or any other department at Brandeis) in anything more than a surface-level way. Professors and staff work incredibly hard to do the work that they do, and we are incredibly lucky to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Dear Brandeis University Mathematics Department, Every morning when I open my Brandeis inbox in gmail, I inevitably find at least one email from you. And as each day goes on, that number often doubles, triples, or even quadruples. Four emails from one department per day is, quite frankly, too many emails. Even one email per day from a department is too many emails. Let me explain. The source of my
Being a freshman certainly happened. I was blessed to avoid the culture shock that some experience when coming to college, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t face my share of hurdles. These hurdles helped me to learn some harsh truths
Plan B is a type of emergency contraception, not your regular birth control. It’s meant for situations like unprotected sex, a condom breaking, or missing multiple birth control pills. The good news is there’s no strict limit to how many
Some students might have noticed a set of protests at the beginning of the semester. These protests were not organized by any of the usual groups associated with activism on campus; instead, they were held by a new group, Fight
Chances are, if you are reading this, you go to Brandeis. And if you go to Brandeis, well, let’s just say you may not know a lot about sports. The stereotypical Deisian isn’t exactly a rabid sports fan. And that’s fine! To attend Brandeis, you obviously don’t need to be interested in sports or even have a basic understanding of how they work (with the possible exception of quadball). However, since coming here last August, there have been numerous situations here on campus where I’ve been sitting with people and, whether it be just over the course of normal conversation or because I was watching a football or baseball game on my phone, they would ask about something going on. I realized that many people are curious about sports but
Women’s Hockey, represented officially by the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), has caught a lot of media attention after Team USA’s recent Olympic gold medal win. The team managed to win all seven of their tournament games with a combined

I don’t expect that a lot of Hoot readers are huge sports fans. After all, this school doesn’t even have a football team. Those of you who do pay attention to the National Football League (NFL) are probably focused on
