Hiatt to offer stipends for student internships

The Hiatt Career Center recently announced the offering of paid stipends for students through its new World Work Interns (WOW) program. According to representatives from the Center, up to 50 sophomores and juniors will be eligible to receive $3,500 fellowships to pursue an unpaid summer internship in any field.

Joseph DuPont, the recently appointed Hiatt Center Director, announced a new fellowship program for students that wish to do internships but feel discouraged by the financial strains that unpaid internships can place on students. The program is in place in order to give students a basis for their careers while exploring fields they wish to pursue.

Union tables resolution over TYP senator email

A resolution to reprimand TYP Senator Kamarin Lee for sending an allegedly offensive email about Ways and Means Committee Chair Asher Tanenbaum 08 was defeated during the Nov. 11 Senate meeting. Lees email came after Tanenbaum discussed a potential duality of purpose in the constitutions of the Brandeis Black Student Organization and the African Culture Club.

I am sorry to say that I find Ashers email both offensive and inappropriate, wrote Lee in his Nov. 3 email. Ashers idea of the African Club is full of ignorance by believing racial stereotypes and sounds like something that would come from a White, Jewish Middle-Class Conservative.

I dont even have to turn around. Sara Sidle.

Swashbuckling through space

For the second leg of the 2007-2008 season, the Brandeis Theater Company invited Double Edge Theatre, a company based in Ashfield, Mass., to bring their unique artistic vision to the Spingold Theater in a stage adaptation of Alexandre Dumass classic novel, The Three Musketeers.

While Double Edges eye for theatrical spectacle is nothing short of stunning, structural problems leave the hour-long production shy of being a fulfilling stand-alone evening of theatre.
