Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
The Brandeis men’s soccer team cruised to an easy victory in a 5-0 victory against Keene State on Sept. 4 at the XARA Classic at Owl Athletic Complex improving to 2-0, after winning by the same score against Fitchburg State on Sept. 3, on the young season. The Judges got on the scoreboard just five […]
After undergoing surgery May 23 to repair a bulging disk in his neck, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had a second surgery Thursday morning, Sept. 8. During the past week, Manning consulted with team doctors and specialists on the best course of action for his neck. The doctors reached a consensus that Manning should undergo a […]
At the end of spring semester, an environmental studies professor suggested Yifan Wang ’14 find a “green job” for the summer. She came to Brandeis to study business and environmental studies, though she recognizes that “they are usually enemies,” and this summer she worked to “prove that they can work together” at her Waltham Recycling […]
The beginning of the year is always full of transitions, some more dramatic than others. The first-years leave home for the first time.

I, however, have never been very good at picking up on these sensationalist news trends and instead followed a different trial this summer: Brandon McInerney’s. For those of you who don’t […]

In the recent years, farmers in the Terai, the wetlands, have sensed the difference. They survive two extremely dry months and then, in only three […]
In the photograph in my dorm room my sister and I are on vacation in Michigan in the mid-90s. I am wearing a flowered sundress and she is wearing a red t-shirt and blue shorts. We are not at the height of fashion, even for the ’90s. My arm is thrown around her and a […]
On May 12, Bill S.978 was passed by the Senate. For those unaware of what this bill encompasses, its purpose is “to amend the criminal penalty provision for criminal infringement of a copyright, and for other purposes.” This bill would essentially make any form of streaming of copyrighted material illegal.
