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.

Some sports writers called for Jones head, others applauded her belated ethicality, but most people just ignored the whole thing.

Hillary supporters have ‘wrong reasons’

When people talk about the race for the Democratic nomination, a lot of names will pop up, like Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden, or Bill Richardson. Although all of the Democrats are running on similar platforms, they each have key differences between them that should give voters a decent choice in the primary. Unfortunately, there is also a name that could tip the balance.
Hillary.

Why Che still captivates us

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. All over the Americas, leftists commemorated his life and work. In Santa Clara, Cuba, Ches widow Aleida March wept as a spokesman read a statement by the convalescing leader Fidel Castro saying that the fallen guerilla was a flower torn up prematurely by the stem. In Bolivia, President Evo Morales stated his belief that Guevara is more and more relevant every year.
