While I was settling in to watch “Contagion” this past weekend, a guy in front of me pulled the classic yawn-and-stretch on his date, clearly aiming to get an arm around her. It worked, but then the film began with a carefully choreographed sequence in which the camera traces the journey of some suspicious germs: […]
Ever wondered what it’s like to put on a show after only 24 hours of rehearsal? Up until this year, so did I. Though my journey as co-choreographer began last May, nothing quite prepared me for the madness that is the 24-Hour Musical. Those 24 hours may be over and done, but here’s a sneak […]
The last few summers have been dominated by comic book movies. For example, 2008 boasted both “Iron Man” and “The Dark Knight,” two of the most well-regarded movie adaptations for Marvel and DC respectively.

Dear Leah and Morgan, I know that the year just started, but I’m already having some problems with my suitemates. I have lived in traditional dorm-style housing for the past two years, in a double and then a single. While I’ve always enjoyed my housing arrangement, I’ve been jealous of my friends in Rosenthal and […]
The late ’60s were an interesting time to be at Brandeis and probably at any college. The ground felt shaky but the possibilities seemed endless. The prospects for disaster, such as being drafted to die in a civil war in Asia, were imminent, but so was the sense of hope. Many of us felt dizzy […]
Dearest Brandeis Community, I’ve been asked to write a column reflecting on my time spent here, and I’d like to start off by being thankful that it’s not yet over. I’m not gone yet and I intend to savor my last year here. That being said, in the last three years I think I’ve seen […]
