Gordy’s game guesses

Hey everyone, starting this week I’ll be preparing some picks for the upcoming NFL games. Word of warning: I do not consider myself to be a major sports expert. I will be making guesses based on what I know of teams as well as personal preferences. Cincinnati at Atlanta: Both teams lost last week. Since […]

Cook of Matthew: Butternut Squash

Eating the same vegetables (or, more likely, no vegetables) every day can get boring. Luckily for you, it’s fall, and there are some delicious squashes in season. Don’t like squash? You will. Squash dishes are easy to make, tasty and good for you too. Here’s one of my new favorites … BUTTERNUT SQUASH (a.k.a. Winter […]

The incredible, edible cage-free egg

The Brandeis Real Food Coalition is pushing for the university to buy and serve only cage-free eggs due to the sometimes-cruel conditions to which factory farms and other producers subject their hens. “Our main objective is to have the university and Dining Services” look at this issue, “and we started with a petition,” the group’s […]

Going beyond the bubble: Wilson’s Diner

Wilson’s is hardly the place Brandeis students dress up for, wait for a late-night BranVan and head to with a huge group of friends. I bet most haven’t even heard of the Waltham diner; I certainly hadn’t when I stopped there for a morning breakfast Saturday. The place is small, rectangular and reminds one of […]

Red Sox-Yankees: A difference in taste

The summer following fifth grade brought two of the most important events in my life; the birth of an obsession and the death of an inspiration. The birth came when I attended my first baseball game. It was a Yankee game: my initial glimpse into one of grandfather (PopPop)’s favorite things. I had watched my […]

Red Sox-Yankees: A difference in taste

I come from a state known for people being nice; ever hear the phrase “Minnesota nice?” Well I’m done being nice about this. New York sports fans (mainly Yankees) seem to be among the poorest sportsmen, when they lose but especially when they win. The Yankees are the richest team in baseball; of course they […]

Men’s soccer wins against Rochester

The mens soccer team secured their first conference win of the year while toppling Rochester’s loss-free season.

‘Lantern’ sheds light on ‘Blackest Night’

Did you know that there will be a Green Lantern movie coming out this summer?

Brandeis Sailing Goes North

Meghan Breslin-Jewer ’11 was an athlete all through high school, but she didn’t want to participate in a varsity sport when she got to Brandeis. She was at the activities fair when she discovered the sailing team and decided to give it a try. It was only two weeks into practice that she realized sailing […]

Breaking bread, defying borders

I must admit that I was a little nervous as I stood waiting in line to ask a question of the speaker, who minutes before had captivated an audience with a short, but well-crafted and well-spoken speech. She spoke in immaculate and steady tones with little-to-no hesitation, and had a stony, contented expression that would […]

Rowing with my homies

Before coming to college everyone told me these would be the best years of my life and that my first year would be incredible. Of course, my life had to be different. My high school boyfriend and I broke up the first week of second semester while I was visiting him. I realized some of […]
