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.

Jorja is CSI’s goodbye girl

Wouldnt you if you were married to Mrs. Roper?

I dont even have to turn around. Sara Sidle.

With this brief interchange, crime scene investigator Sara Sidle made her first appearance on the CBS hit show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Yesterday, she made her final appearance. After a tumultuous seven years on the show, actress Jorja Fox finally packed up her fingerprint kit.

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.

Creative Writing majors come out for pie and prose

A smugly self-deluding lover ranting in her diary. A hypochondriac EMT obsessing over diseases. These are a few of the characters introduced in Monday's Pie and Prose event orchestrated by the Creative Writing Undergraduate Degree Representatives, Kendra Fortmeyer '08 and Jessica Corozza '08.

Legality of racial minority senator position questioned

In light of concerns regarding the legality of the senator for Racial Minority students, the Student Union is discussing possible changes to the position. It has been brought to the Unions attention that the position may be a violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights act, which stipulates that organizations receiving federal funding cannot discriminate based on race.

As it stands, only students registered as racial minorities or other with the registrar can run for or vote for the position of Senator for Racial Minority Students. It is this stipulation that has raised the questions of legality.

Student reveals nature of Hindley complaint

After last weeks coverage of the allegations of racism brought against Professor Donald Hindley (POL) for statements in his Latin American Politics classes, a student explained the nature of the complaints they had brought to the Administration.

I reported him because of all the completely inappropriate comments he made, mostly in September, which trickled down to October, and we get occasional comments [now].

‘Deis Equestrian Team starts season off right

The Brandeis Equestrian Team is off to a strong start this season. Having competed in three shows hosted by Tufts, UMass Dartmouth, and Bridgewater State College, the team has brought home a total of 18 ribbons, including a first place by Sarah Kalafut '09 in her intermediate jump class last weekend.

Despite fielding one of the smallest teams in the region, and one of the only equestrian teams that does not have Varsity Athletics affiliation, Brandeis powered its way to an impressive 9th place team overall finish at the UMass Dartmouth show on October 21st, with an energetic and strong performance from two first-time competitors, Ashley Zibura '11 and Liz Wilsker '11.

Insider’s guide: Varsity athletics at Brandeis

I do a lot of things at Brandeis. I am involved with nearly twenty organizations, and I cherish my participation in all of them. Still, my favorite activity is being a Varsity Athlete on the Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field teams. This experience has been wonderful for me, as the support provided by the Athletics Department has ensured that I can enjoy every aspect of my involvement. In addition, the social incentives of being in the group, and the camaraderie of my teammates, have sustained me through the mid-season slumps and the other ups and downs that come with being an athlete. Finally, being a Varsity athlete has opened up an entire world of new experiences, has kept me in shape, and provides other benefits as well. Id like to record one persons experiences of Varsity participation at Brandeis, as one of so many students who can claim this title.
