Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Let’s play a little word association. What do you think of when I say any of the following words: Louis, judges, school or social justice? One word that may have come to mind is “Brandeis,” the very institution you have chosen to attend. Nevertheless, do you ever think of what words may come to mind […]
Campus events that are easy to support, such as ’DEIS Impact, have received great promotion from the administration and the student body. Covering straightforward, positive ideals, these events are advertised as an integral part of the Brandeis community. That is undeniably true, and it should be commended that these events receive so much support. Yet […]
Recently, there has been much fervor attached to the concept of “social justice” and its importance. Brandeis is an institution known for cultivating an academic atmosphere that pursues this ideal, and its student body is wholly committed to many causes. In lieu of many protests both on this campus and elsewhere in the nation, such […]
The women’s basketball team lost their final regular season game at home on Sunday, 68-50 to New York University. The team’s five seniors were honored prior to the Senior Day game, and each played double-digit minutes in the contest. University Athletic Association rival NYU began the game on an 11-2 run. Brandeis came back within […]

That’s where all the CRAZIES live,” to “Only the anti-social kids live […]
Outside Mandel 303, a table full of cookies and various hot beverages welcomed me into a lecture titled “Kubrick’s Men’s Pictures.” The lecture discussed exactly what it claimed, the pictures of men that Stanley Kubrick took in his days before he was an Academy Award nominee. Stanley Kubrick was a universally loved and critically acclaimed […]
CAs have to decorate their halls and make it a point of their existence that bulletinboards and doors cannot go without clever themes and punny memes up and down the floor. Each semester carries with it a new theme relevant to the residents of the dorm and their position on the path to eventually graduate. […]
Dear Eliana, After doing well with four classes last semester, I thought I’d push myself and go for five classes this semester. I kept the loaded schedule through the add/drop period, but after getting further into the classes, I’m not sure if I can keep up. One class in particular, a Russian language class, has […]
The Brandeis men’s and women’s track and field teams participated in the University Athletic Association Championships last Saturday, Mar. 1, with both teams coming in seventh. The Washington University men’s team and the University of Chicago’s women’s team took first place. Kelsey Whitaker ’16 placed second in the mile, and Amelia Lundkvist ’14 immediately followed […]
