Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Community, opportunity and justice–these are three prominent aspects of the Brandeis campus that are thought to define its ideology. When praising their school, Brandeisians often mention these ideals. But when it comes down to translating these principles into reality, some find it hard to combine all three and still produce concrete results. Not anymore. These […]
The female Judges faltered slightly during mid-season play, dropping two of three University Athletic Association matchups against Washington University of St. Louis Bears and the University of Chicago Maroons. They are now 1-2 in UAA play and 8-5 overall going into the weekend where they will host two more UAA teams: the University of Rochester […]
When I was in high school I went to a football game where my school lost because of a bad call. My high school team was kicking for a field goal to win the game and the referee made them kick from further out than they should have. They missed the field goal and lost […]

They opened up the New Year with a 74-69 win on the road against the Curry […]
The Brandeis track and field teams hosted their first home meet of the season, the Reggie Poyau Memorial Invitational, honoring a Brandeis runner of the same name who tragically drowned in May 2003 while studying abroad in Senegal.

Mod 14. That’s where it all started. That’s where my suitemates and I conceived of the crazy notion that two ex Justice Editors, an ex-Union Secretary and a handful of friends with little or no prior newspaper experience could do this. That’s where we decided that instead of having a party-filled, stress-free final semester at […]

Massachusetts is a blue state. Or, at least that’s what most people have assumed in the past. As such, Massachusetts is not usually a state plagued by imperialistic campaigners, crossing state lines to ensure our votes. In fact, it is more often the politically motivated people of Massachusetts who cross state lines into New Hampshire, […]
2009 was a pretty great year for film. I say this with some trepidation. After all, how can anyone pass judgment on a year in which hundreds of feature films were released?
