Problems from the get-go for Riverside shuttle

We applaud the Student Union for launching a trial shuttle to Riverside but the weekend schedule makes little sense. The entire reason the Green Line is convenient is that it runs every 10 minutes. Unlike the commuter rail, students don’t need to follow a schedule for when they can catch a train into Boston. But […]


A better way to thank Waltham

This week, someone who thought they were clever installed small, red lawn signs that read “Brandeis Thanks Waltham, Kindness Week,” on the sidewalk curbs of South Street.
