Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
In middle school and high school we were taught that alcohol and drugs are dangerous and that we shouldn’t use them. It was that simple. This limited education did little to prevent kids from clandestinely experimenting with illegal substances without much understanding of what they were actually consuming. In college, however, students are placed in […]
In his second collegiate start, midfielder Tyler Savonen ’15 scored two goals, leading the Judges in a 3-0 win against local rival Lasell College in a non-conference matchup. With the win the Judges improve to 10-4-1, their second straight season with at least 10 wins, while the Lasers fall to 9-5-3. Forward Alexander Farr ’12 […]
Should student athletes be able to collect payment for their athletic skill when their teams earn millions of dollars in revenue and publicity for their respective schools? This is a recurring question. Paying athletes may be the popular view but I honestly cannot see why and absolutely disagree. It’s easy to argue that student athletes […]
This past Friday at the 2011 Hall of Fame Invitational, Brandeis women’s volleyball won the first match against Smith College in straight sets but lost the next two games.

I never celebrated Halloween as a child. My parents insisted it was a pagan holiday and, thanks to Purim, I never felt like I was missing out. Also, I probably got more sweets than the kids who went trick-or-treating thanks to my mother’s strategic over-buying when it came to candy. I dressed up for Halloween […]
Nothing says autumn quite like the squirrels going nuts for nuts, having the sniffles and digging through your drawers for mittens. But really, the tell-tale sign of this season are the first-years prowling the consignment shops on Moody Street for the perfect Halloween costume. Yes, along with midterms, parents’ weekend and changing leaves, there comes […]
This past Wednesday, Brandeis defeated host Springfield College 1-0 in a match plagued by rain. With the win, the Judges, ranked seventh in New England, improved to 9-4-1 (1-1-1 UAA) while Springfield fell to 8-3-3. Springfield appeared to take an early lead just 2:18 into the game when sophomore midfielder Drew Vanasse tapped in a […]
This Friday the Brandeis community has reason to take a break and celebrate during the first ever “Fallabration” on the Great Lawn from 1 to 4 p.m. At this time of year many students are worn out from all-nighters and the constant stress of classes, and few get a chance to notice the great things […]
