Don’t Settle for a PB & J

Upon reading a recent article on grilled cheese sandwiches, I started to wonder how I can make better sandwiches here at college.The sandwich bar on campus is fairly standard (chicken/ham/roast beef etc, yellow mustard, honey mustard, mayo etc.), but we can spice it up with a little ingenuity. Everything here is available at the sandwich bars on campus with the exception of bacon, which you can get at the hamburger station. Comments in brackets are optional but recommended.

Renaissance

Nobody built like you, you design yourself

Revive, Revitalize, Birth

A new

Because conformity produces uniformly

Which results in an army

Of premature progress

Sure, we all stand united and divided

We fall but,

In essence, if we all were supposed to be

The same

Then Gods divine grace for us would limit

Our ability to undertake expansion

As the French say,

It's Halloween season, and that means a few things. One: you should have an amazing costume ready (costume choices are a tricky thing but thats not what were here to discuss today). Another is that on the TV you will be treated to every horror, pseudo-horror, alien, monster, and psychopath movie ever made. If you tune into the sci-fi channel, you can watch every single one of Stephen Kings novels turned into a wonderfully bad movie.

Chick flick, but not a hit

While judging a book by its cover is debatable, judging License to Wed by its title should be a rule of thumb. After all, any movie that deems it appropriate to use a James Bond pun in referencing marriage, is bound to be cute- sickeningly cute.

Released last Tuesday on DVD, the movie follows a young couple, Ben Murphy (played by John Krasinski of The Office) and Sadie Jones (played by former pop star Mandy Moore), who have a seemingly perfect relationship, until they agree to go through a pre-marital training course, conducted by Sadies childhood minister, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams).

Hamlet v. a return to Hollywood

The Undergraduate Theatre Collective's Fall 2007 season got off on the right foot last weekend, as the Brandeis Players hilarious production of Paul Rudnicks I Hate Hamlet, directed by David Pepose 08, ran for four performances.

The play follows Andrew Rally (Brian Melcher 10), star of a recently-canceled television medical drama, as he moves to New York and is confronted with the terrifying opportunity to star as Hamlet at Shakespeare in the Park.

ECSF Recipients “Remember Africa”

The Abraham Shapiro Academic Complex was abuzz last Friday afternoon, as students, alumni, faculty, administration, and parents mingled over the mellow rhythms of African music.

As part of its 10th Anniversary celebrations, the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life invited back Ethics Center Student Fellowship Alumni to recount their experiences in South Africa during Africa Remembered.

Students reflect on departing Admin

Assistant Vice President for Students and Enrollment Keenyn McFarlane will leave Brandeis at the end of November. McFarlane, who is the chief assistant to Senior Vice President for Students and Enrollment Jean Eddy, is in charge of developing the budget for the division. A replacement has yet to be named.

Everyone from bad actors to Civil War generals

Ok, so admittedly I dont have anything particularly topical and prescient to spill my verbal guts about, so for this issue, again, the reader will have to settle for mild entertainment upon my latest additions to the American Hero List and why they have proven themselves to be thoroughly awesome.

Waltzing back into the spotlight

I love Dancing with the Stars. There, Ive said it. As a general rule, Im not one for reality televisionIll take my Greys Anatomy and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation any day over Survivor or Americas Most Smartest Model. But I do love those two hours every week when I get to see a multitude of famous people doing the Paso Doble, Cha-cha-cha, and Jive in sparkly costumes.
