An amendment to the Union Constitution proposed by Charles River Senator Oliver Price ’20 would, if passed, allow certain members of secured clubs to become wage-eligible. The Constitution defines the Campus Activities Board as one such secured club. The others are WBRS 100.1 FM, BEMCo, Waltham Group, Brandeis Television, Archon Yearbook, Student Sexuality Information Service, the Justice, and the Brandeis Sustainability Fund. Of these clubs, however, only CAB’s Executive Board members are already receiving monetary compensation.

One of the oldest objects in my house in China was a wooden baseball bat. During the war time in the 1940s, my grandparents fled home in Wuhan for a few years when the city was occupied. When the war ended, they made their way back to the city, with not much left in the house except a baseball bat left by the occupier who was no longer there. Fascinated by this equipment from a sport that almost no one watched back home, it was kept by my family until today, as a token from an era.

It’s been a little over a week since the Washington Nationals beat the Houston Astros in the World Series, and we have all moved on.

By the time this article comes out in the Justice, the New York Jets and New York Giants will have played their football game for “bragging rights” in the New York area.

According to thetoptens.com, the top four rivalries comprise Yankees-Red Sox, Celtics-Lakers, Bears-Packers and Canadiens-Maple Leafs.

An adage in sports, attributed to legendary basketball coach, Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky says, “That’s why we play the game: to see who’ll win,” according to an article from grammarphobia.com reminds us that in sports, we should not be surprised by results contrary to our expectations. With that in mind, at the midpoint of the 2019 National Football League season, I present the teams that have surprised us, based on the pre-season predictions by John Breech, according to a September 2019 article by CBS Sports.

The twelve outdoor tennis courts behind the Gosman Sports and Convocation Center have a new name and a new look. The new Cordish Tennis Center was funded as the result of an alumni game played by Jonathan Cordish ’90, who was nationally ranked throughout the course of his Brandeis tennis career and helped the Judges advance to the NCAA Division III National Championships in 1989. During his alumni match two years ago, a fast serve to Cordish hit a crack in the court and careened wildly the wrong way, causing Cordish to mishit his return. He commented that this bad bounce was going to cost him a lot of money — and it did.

“Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong,” is a seven-word tweet that has caused one of the biggest controversies in National Basketball Association history since the implementation of the three-point line. This short tweet by the Houston Rockets’ General Manager, Daryl Morey, has caused the NBA world to explode. Millions to billions of dollars could be lost, countless jobs could be lost and the history of the league and possibly America could be altered forever. This article is going to be challenging for me to write, as I lack a political background, but it has shocked the sports world, and I have the relevant sports background.

Backpacks are everywhere. Everywhere except on the actual back of the person carrying said backpack. On and off campus I see the latest trends of how not to wear a backpack. By now we all know that one-strapping (i.e. carrying the backpack using one strap on only one shoulder) the backpack is the wrong way to go, if you want to keep both your balance and your posture. But two-strapping the backpack and then wearing it low on the back is also the wrong way to go.
