Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
When I arrived at Brandeis in the fall of ’08, I had no idea what I was doing. I was only sure about one thing: I was not going to be an English major. What’s my major now? English. Any senior can tell you that’s hardly an uncommon occurrence. Plenty of people I know began […]
In a meet featuring 16 teams at the Eric Loeschner Invitational, hosted by Fitchburg State University, both the Judges men’s and women’s track and field teams recorded stellar performances.

On the team, Brown explained that there are people who possess […]
By the time you read this, I will probably be back in the United States after spending the past three and a half months in London. I absolutely love this city and a part of my heart is breaking a little bit at the thought of leaving it. This isn’t my first time in London. […]
This past weekend the Judges faced Clark and Tufts in a day-night doubleheader. The Judges split their doubleheader with Clark before losing to Tufts. The team is now 19-14 (3-5 UAA) on the season. The first game of the doubleheader was a classic pitchers’ duel. Starting pitcher Caroline Miller ’12 gave up just one hit […]
The Student Union needs complete, systemic reform. But the great number of amendments to the Constitution proposed this week by the Executive Board (including and with the full support of President-elect Todd Kirkland ’13) does not reflect this reality. The package would largely preserve the existing problems, like the ones noted with elections, of the […]
