One of the core problems relating to the Middle East pertains to identity. The various populations of the region tend to look at the world through the prism of sect, race, religion, tribe or ethnicity. They seem to judge other groups or factions as hostile not necessarily by their actions or character but by their […]
So rather than discuss a topic that is broad and worldwide, or nuclear within the community here, I want to talk about something that is relevant for the Brandeis community as a whole: Greek life.

I climbed a mountain. The phrase can be interpreted in many ways: I achieved a goal, I overcame an obstacle or I physically climbed a real mountain. Throughout our lives we all climb mountains. When I climbed Half Dome in Yosemite, not only did I climb an actual mountain, but I achieved a goal and […]
Every morning we look in the mirror and criticize our appearance. We all see different things. No two reflections are the same; however, no one seems to be satisfied. We go through long morning rituals in the hope of changing our appearance and transforming the face that we offer to the world. It may just […]
Remember when you were in pre-k and there was nap time? Back then, you didn’t want to go to sleep, did you? No, all you wanted to do was play with your blocks and eat Jell-O. A lot has changed since then and now—in your late teens—you look back and see only a squandered opportunity. […]

The Mountaineers recently accepted a bid to join the Big 12 and leave the crumbling Big East conference, which recently lost Syracuse and Pittsburgh to the ACC, […]
Last weekend the Judges volleyball team participated in the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships hosted by New York University. In the first match the Judges were paired against top-seeded Emory, the second-ranked team in the country. Unsurprisingly, the Eagles rose above the Judges with set scores of 25-22, 25-18 and 25-11. Leading the offensive charge […]
In their last game of the season on Saturday afternoon the Brandeis women’s soccer team lost 1-0 to University Athletic Association rival New York University. The Bobcats scored the game’s only goal in the 84th minute, ending the Judges’ season on a less than cheerful note. The goal came on a breakaway by Bobcat sophomore […]
Even though Penn State fired Joe Paterno, the all-time leader in Football Bowl Series (FBS) wins with 409 during his 46-year career, significant questions still have to be answered. Who knew what and when? Will there be any consequences for assistant coach Mike McQueary, who saw Jerry Sandusky raping a 10-year-old boy in the shower […]
