Hordes of students make the hike from Brandeis campus to Dartmouth Street every weekend. Laughing, they wind their way into fraternity housing, parties in cramped basements. Most spill out onto the lawn, chatting with their friends, before returning home to Brandeis. Last semester, the image of this seemingly serene scene was disrupted, with the horrific […]
After splitting wins in the MIT invitational tournament on Saturday, the Brandeis women’s volleyball team looked to gain traction in their season against Wheaton College.

The indie-rock band was formed in 2002, and consists of […]

Every fall brings the controversial Student Union elections, and this year was no different. Campaigns were out of control. Brandeis needs to clamp down on what candidates can do to promote themselves on campus.
