As an avid food lover, arriving on the Brandeis campus has enhanced my appreciation for good food. The food offered in the Usdan and Sherman dining halls simply does not compare to the good home cooked food that I am used to. I started to wonder where I could find some good food and I thought Boston was the place to go. So far, the restaurants I have tasted in Boston have been pretty standard.

How many times have you been hanging out with friends, having a good time and thought, hey, this should be a TV show?
Most of us just shrug off this idea and continue laughing, but Arun Narayanan 10 decided to sit down to write the first episode of Slice and 'Deis, a new Brandeis Television (BTV) sitcom premiering on Monday at 7 pm in Golding auditorium.
In the days of blas haute couture, little room was left for environmental concerns to be voiced on the runway.

suddenly a group of skaters are moving in perfect synchronization across a rink. However, instead of the ice that one might expect, the skaters are gliding effortlessly across a hardwood surface.
Li has the video stored on her hard drive because, like the skaters on the screen, she is a member of a competitive artistic roller skating team.
Its like ice skating, but warmer, she joked.
Dear Editor,
As a parent of a Brandeis student (Myka Held '09), I have examined with interest the various viewpoints on the decision to arm the Brandeis police. I was especially struck, however, by the words of Chrissy Callahan (Give the Police a Chance, Nov. 9), daughter of Public Safety Director Ed Callahan, who primarily opined that the Brandeis police are family-oriented, hardworking, serious and dedicated men and women. Ms. Callahan seems to have missed the debate on campus – a debate that strikes at the heart of the Brandeis environment.
The Mens and Womens Cross Country teams finished off their seasons strong this weekend, as they traveled to New London Connecticut for the All-New England Division III Championships. The weather was less than perfect, as each runner had to contend with wind and low temperatures. Nevertheless, both squads were able to place at the top of the pack and had standout individual performances as well. The Men came in 9th place out of a field of 47 teams. This is a good showing for the Judges, a reflection on an entire season of training. The Women were also able to place high, ending up in 18th place.
As we enter the 2007 off-season for Major League Baseball, we are confronted with many questions. But perhaps none has more economic implications than Alex Rodriguez and his agent Scott Boras quest for a 350 million dollar contract. During the final game of the World Series, Boras announced that Rodriguez would opt out of his historic 250 million dollar contract with the New York Yankees to seek a new deal. It was later reported that Boras demanded an offer of 350 million from the Yankees in order to get Rodriguez to the table before opting out. With several teams rumored to be interested in Rodriguez, namely the Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Red Sox, and Angels, it is possible a bidding war could result in the epic contract. But can it actually happen?
Perhaps its because Im one of those soccer geeks, but I completely agree with FIFAs move to limit the number of non-British players Premier League teams can field. Many years of watching soccer has convinced me that the balance of teams has gotten out of hand. That's why rules to regulate the number of players in a starting line-up is crucial.
In most ways the game has changed for the better over the past few years. But its one big loss is that few teams – particularly the big ones – now truly represent the town or city in which their stadium stands. They have become international companies whose owners and players often have little or no real connection with England, let alone the locality.
