Community begins to heal after terror attacks in Mumbai, India
One hundred members of the Brandeis community stood in silence, eyes turned down in the late afternoon sun in front of the Goldfarb Library Wednesday, commemorating the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.

At about 12:30 a.m. a CA knocked on their door and asked them to lower the music. Although the room’s resident happily agreed, the CA called him outside and accused, “I saw […]
One Tall Voice: Reflections on a trip to the shooting range
A few weeks ago, I had a splendid time going to a shooting range with the Brandeis Republicans and several other Brandeis students. That Sunday was only the third time I had ever been shooting and I was a bit nervous. This feeling was added to the fact that the worker at the range only […]
Shopping for Truth: Black Friday: An animalistic exhibition
