See you next season

Published March 3, 2006 in Sports - Zachary Aronow

The Men's Basketball team closed out an up and down year by crushing conference rival NYU 70-46. Rocco Toppi 08, Joe Coppens 09 and Kevin Olson 09 each had 11 points, with Coppens and Olsen nailing three 3-pointers each. The Judges were deadly with their shots, nailing 53% for the game including going 10 of 20 from beyond the arc. Brandeis also got strong production from its backcourt tandem of Florian Rexhepi 08 and Kwame Graves-Fulgham 08, with each contributing 9 points and Rexhepi having a game-high 8 assists.

Kip Wells of the Pittsburgh Pirates was diagnosed with a blood clot close to his right arm. If he has surgery, he will miss five to eight months, virtually the entire season.

Picking up the Crumbs

Published March 3, 2006 in Arts, Etc. - Jess Corozza

As a devoted fan of the Savage brothers, when I saw previews for the show Crumbs, starring Fred Savage, I was thrilled. Nothing like some nostalgia to pull me into a new show. Because I was 12 year old boy growing up in the 60s just like Kevin Arnold.

Sunday night in Terminal B

Published March 3, 2006 in Arts, Etc. - lito

Once the planets eighth-busiest airport, formerly boasting the worlds highest control-tower, Bostons Logan International sits just a few miles from Lynn, Massachusetts, where General Electric invented the jet engine. But on this winter evening all the counters were closed, the ticket-agents long gone, the arrivals area all but deserted. Perhaps, were it at JFK or OHare, the American Airlines terminal might have been busier at this hour, as would befit a place with a history so marked by world records and ingenuity…

Apathetic senior taking pre-med courses for no reason

Published March 3, 2006 in Arts, Etc. - Rafi Farber

Second semester seniors on reduced tuition and on the verge of graduating that take general chemistry and physics with labs for absolutely no reason whatsoever are part of a very inimitable club that should probably require a retinal scan and voice recognition to attain entry into its elusive headquarters. As the only one in this exclusive elite class, I regret to inform all that the door to my room does not, as of yet, have retinal scanning hardware installed. Though recently Ive learned to see this as a plus in that now I can squish my retina up against the doorknob and it wont even open. Ever. Security is my top priority here.

I want to be a writer of magic master

Published March 3, 2006 in Arts, Etc. - Nathan Ehrlich

As Graduation approaches, high doses of Clonapin and zantex are no match for my anxiety. I thought beginning my job search would alleviate my worries, but Ive realized I dont know what I am searching for. I dont want to be a doctor, or a lawyer, and Economics is not for me. So What I […]

The housing lottery: from riches to rags

Published March 3, 2006 in Opinions - Sarah Green

At this time last year, I was singing a very different tune. Very different, indeed. How many different cliches can I use to express this? Bad karma? What goes around comes around? Payback is a bitch? Any of them will do. What am I talking about? It probably isnt too hard to guess. The housing lottery.

Why our Iran Resolution is crucial

Published March 3, 2006 in Opinions - Dmitry Vilner

When approximately fifty Brandeis students stormed Washington D.C. last November and lobbied Congressional staff on behalf of a stronger U.S.-Israel relationship, they made a serious and immediate impact. This ground-breaking task-force, the first of its kind emanating from Brandeis, not only educated and enlightened very important lawmakers in our nations capital, but it allowed students to form their own personal relationships with Congressional offices and continue communicating and lobbying well after the overnight trip ended.

Sacrificing morality for beneficial ends?

Published March 3, 2006 in Opinions - John Krisch

So, the other day I offered my sexual services to this girl who got a high number in the housing lottery. I dont think it was immoral. See, my friend received a number that is three centuries into the future, 2317, and I thought Id use my talents to help a friend. Needless to say, she had heard about my reputation, and lets just say my friend is Mod-bound next year.

Nonlinear chemi-what?

Published March 3, 2006 in Opinions - Jeremy Heyman

Yes, its that time again. Time for another Jeremy Heyman column, and yes, Im going with a Chemistry topic again this time. From past experience Ive learned not to focus on one professor for too long, so no Ozerov or Foxman involved this week. My apologies to the Inorganic Chemists in the audience.
