You, your friends, and a bottle of vodka are playing the popular drinking game “would you rather?” Would you rather be 4’1 or 7’9? Make out with a McDreamy or a McSteamy?

While many spent the recent election night in the Shapiro Atrium, or at other victory parties around campus, I enjoyed a unique experience last Tuesday.

Brandeis women’s soccer was awarded the number two seed in the Eastern Conference Athletic Championships and they made certain that their placement was well earned after thoroughly dominating seventh seeded St. Joseph’s 4-0 in front of 75 souls who braved the cold weather. Brandeis outshot St. Joseph’s 38-6 in the game, but it was St. […]
For the third straight year, the Brandeis women’s basketball squad advanced into the second round of the NCAA and they were bounced out at the hands of a more athletic squad – this time it was Kean College.
