“I will dance here or there, I will dance everywhere!” Adagio performed the spring semester show in Levin ballroom at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. The room was filled with parents and students, all there to support the dancers and to watch some well-performed numbers. The show consisted of 22 dances, mixed with contemporary and freestyle dancing, with some hilarious commentary introducing each performance according to the theme for the night, Dr. Seuss. The theme tied into each transition from dance to dance and how they titled their performances. As the show was first starting, there were what seemed to be unsettled rumbles from the audience as they were uncertain what they were there to see, but, as the show got going, each member of the audience was on the edge of their seats, either raving about the last performance or anticipating the next one.
You enter Sherman and examine each food station to determine what appears the most edible. Disappointed with the selections, you grab a little of everything. “What’s the harm?” you ask yourself. As you eat your dinner, you quickly lose your appetite. With a pile of half-eaten food on your plate, you shrug your shoulders and slide your plate onto the conveyor belt. Although this is a semi-regular event for most students, how often do you consider the impacts of wasting food?

Following the Justice’s publication of “Lots of Latex, limbs and laughs,” we received a great deal of feedback from the Brandeis community that drew our attention to one particular line in the otherwise positive review: “However, the moves from the models while on the catwalk more resembled those seen by girls in fraternity basements than the representation of each zodiacs [sic] characteristics.” This statement should have received greater scrutiny during the Justice’s initial editing process, and publishing it was a regrettable oversight.

Stolen coins, burgled artwork and forgeries all share a common trait — they result from crime. Venturing one step further, one might ask: What compels an individual to commit art theft or forgery?

I have some bad news, fellow liberals — this is going to be another one of those pieces about free speech on college campuses. I know, I know; you have heard it all before, that college students are fragile and scream until what they do not like goes away. What snowflakes. While this will not be a glowing review of the current status of free speech on college campuses, it will not be another one of those articles. However, with recent events at Middlebury and the Task Force on Free Expression, something needed to be said.
