The Chosen Rosen: Listening to music while studying: distraction or motivation?

It’s the night before the biggest test of the semester and you haven’t read a thing besides the syllabus. And it gets worse—for the life of you, you cannot focus. So you take the walk of shame down three flights of steps to get to the dungeon in the library, you plant yourself down in […]


First half disappearing act dooms Judges in second

In their season opener, the Judges fell 91-82 to visiting Lasell College. The Lasell Lasers built a 21-point halftime lead thanks in large part to the Judges’ offensive woes. In the first half, the Judges shot a miserable 20 percent from the field (7-35) while Lasell hit 51.7 percent of their shots (15-29). The Lasers […]


Women’s basketball splits first two games

The Brandeis women’s basketball team started off their season in great fashion Tuesday night, beating Worcester Polytechnic Institute 52-42.

Problems from the get-go for Riverside shuttle

We applaud the Student Union for launching a trial shuttle to Riverside but the weekend schedule makes little sense. The entire reason the Green Line is convenient is that it runs every 10 minutes. Unlike the commuter rail, students don’t need to follow a schedule for when they can catch a train into Boston. But […]


A better way to thank Waltham

This week, someone who thought they were clever installed small, red lawn signs that read “Brandeis Thanks Waltham, Kindness Week,” on the sidewalk curbs of South Street. To be clear, Kindness Week is well intentioned and we applaud any opportunity to hold the door for someone, to take out the trash and generally just pay […]
