Does Brandeis have poor student turnout at campus events?

Only three students attended the September 19 Academic Services workshop, “More A+s in Less Time” and many of the attendees of a September 8 North Quad party left immediately after the pizza was gone. According to the Princeton Reviews 2008 Edition of the Best 366 Colleges, If you are looking for big sporting events with lots of spirit or parties with lots of people, you wont like Brandeis. Statements like these lead to Brandeis lackluster social reputation. A first-year student agrees with this assessment. “More people are interested in getting drunk than going to campus events,” Jonah Feldman '11 said. Although some students believe that campus festivities are poorly attended, school administrators think that overall turnout is satisfactory and do not agree with these generalizations.

Gogol Bordello

I was first introduced to Gogol Bordello at a Cake show at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.

My friend Sam and I arrived at the show a little late and we could hear the opening act as we entered the theater. We commented to each other on how much the music reminded us of something one would hear aboard a pirate ship. We asked ourselves, “who is this band?”

Alienated in America

According to Dr. Phil, there are four stages of grief: shock, denial, anger and resolution. While on a superficial level, the CWs new sitcom, Aliens in America, is easy to write off as another half-assed television show trying to capitalize off of topical humor, it may also be a sign that the U.S. has entered the final stage of the grieving process following 9/11.

American heroes, Riga-style
