Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Now, before every Tuesday night at eight oclock regular attacks me, let me just say that I am one of you! Ive followed the show since the pilot and have, overall, always enjoyed my weekly peek into Lorelei and Rorys lives. Ive had my complaints (Jess comes to mind), but overall its always been a good viewing experience. However, judging by whats happened so far this season, Im a little concerned about my girls.
To the Editor:
The misstatements, untruths and distortions in the Hoots September 9, 2005 editorial, Consequences of parity need consideration are too numerable to address in a single letter to the editor. Nonetheless, there were a few misrepresentations in the editorial that are too severe to stand uncorrected, namely: The new contract for Brandeis custodians signed last month was negotiated by Brandeis administrators and representative of SEIU Local 615. In accordance with the National Labor Relations Act, the Brandeis Labor Coalition was not involved in any way in these negotiations.
Does anyone remember the time before Facebook? Well, maybe not before Facebook, but at least before Facebook accepted Brandeis accounts? Once upon a time, Mark Zuckerberg (of a Mark Zuckerberg production fame) was working alongside Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Harvard peers, working to develop something extraordinary. Unfortunately, only Mark got the credit.
Something is rotten in the city of Somerville, Massachusetts. Having lost a campaign to divest city and corporate funds from Israeli bonds by a 10-0 city council vote last year, the Somerville Divestment Project (SDP) is at it once again, resurrecting the issue and this time backing it with a bevy of funding and outreach programs designed to reach as many Somerville voters as possible.
Brandeis is currently in the process of re-accreditation. In order to assess each institution based on its own progress and in comparison to other institutes of higher education, assure the public of quality and give institutions a chance to self assess and improve, re-accreditation is conducted by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) every ten years.
This weekend Hassenfeld Hall in East Quad was affected by several acts of vandalism. Many Hassenfeld residentsparticularly those on the fourth and sixth floors, where the vandalism took placeare distraught by the vandalism. Some of the more dramatic acts of vandalism included the writing of vulgarities on a Community Advisors (CA) dry erase board, and the theft of a computer from an unlocked room on Hassenfeld 4.
When a man goes to sit on the toilet to do number two (I am not willing to admit that women defecate like men do), it is inherently assumed that this will be a time of solitude, contemplation, and complete and utter quiet. Yes he is here because nature has issued it inevitable call, but the real reason he is here is to ponder the true meaning of life. He is here to sift and sort through the depths of existance.
The womens tennis team is conquering the court with no love in mind. Love, of course, is set aside and left as the opponents problem, and hopefully score. With a great commencing weekend against Simmons though, their hopes may not be too farfetched. The ladies stole the tournament with a 7-2 victory against host, Simmons College.
