DC Editorial: It’s all about the fans, man

Whether one is an avid concert-goer or simply likes to attend the economically-priced Brandeis show, it is easy to assume that one would prefer his or her concert-going experience to be fun and entertaining. One attends these shows to watch an artist perform music he or she is passionate about. Also, as a fan, one wants to be appreciated. It's up to the fan to purchase music legally and to pay to attend these concerts. At the end of the day, the power really does lie with the fans.

Brandeis Intramural Flag Football:

With the intramural flag football season just around the corner, there has been a lot of buzz going around campus about the newest teams to enter the league, the latest transactions that have taken place since the end of last season, and which teams people think have positioned themselves for an opportunity to take home the title. This avid excitement that has currently infested our beloved campus, is something that will be prevalent up until the end of the season. Personally, I have found that I cant even browse through the Jewish Studies section in the library without hearing someone chatting about the most recent gossip with regards to the flag football season. This is why I encourage everyone who is enrolled at Brandeis to either join a current team or create their own team and enter this prestigious league as soon as possible. It will be an experience you will never forget and you can thank me for telling you this later.

Jones’ doping confession continues slow, sad fall

I find it sad, and incredibly symbolic of the sports age we live in, that Olympic champion Marion Jones last week admitted to doping and returned the five medals she had won in 2000, yet the story made hardly a ripple in anyones consciousness. Some sports writers called for Jones head, others applauded her belated ethicality, but most people just ignored the whole thing.
