Your two headlights ready to be turned on, posing a threat […]
I am imperfect. I make mistakes. I sometimes unintentionally hurt people’s feelings. I’m sorry. You are imperfect. You probably screw up every once in a while.

Student Union President Jason Gray ’10 challenged student clubs to develop a community service component for their organizations at his State of the Union address on Monday in Rapaporte Treasure Hall. “For example, the debate team could teach public speaking at a local school. An a cappella group could sing at a local shelter,” Gray […]
The WPI Engineers won the opening tip-off of the 2008-09 season opener but that would be the only victory for them as Brandeis turned a first half shooting gallery proved to be enough to overcome a sloppy second half and walked away with the 67-54 victory. “After about five weeks of practice, everyone was ready […]
Four Brandeis Judges reached double digits in scoring but it was not enough to overcome Lasell’s 12 three pointers as they dropped the season opener in a 66-68 upset. Steve Deluca GRAD showed little sign of rust, leading the Judges with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Kevin Olson ’09 had 14 points after making all […]
