The first half of this year’s NFL season has come to an end and not in the way that many had expected. While the New England Patriots have dominated the AFC East standings in routine fashion, despite a brief interlude of quarterback drama, the defending champions Denver Broncos sit in third place in the AFC West. Furthermore, the reigning NFC champion Carolina Panthers currently sit at a dismal 3-5 overall record and are in dead last in the NFC South.
It’s popular to begin an article on the Toronto Raptors by saying they don’t get talked about a lot. As much as I would like to avoid what has become a cliché sentiment surrounding this team, the fact is, it’s true. Even with a run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season and some high profile Drake fandom, the Raptors still have flown under the radar in every season in recent basketball memory.

It’s a sight all too common at Brandeis sporting events: empty bleachers on the Brandeis side while the opposing team’s fans are often out in full support. It could be disheartening, but Vince Lauffer ’19 hopes to change that.
The University is “taking an approach that is not the UChicago approach” to examining free speech on campus, Student Union President David Herbstritt ’17 told the Student Union Senate at Sunday’s Senate meeting. In an executive officer report, Herbstritt said the Presidential Task Force on Free Expression currently has one undergraduate and one graduate student member and is looking for more participants.
In 1972, Judy Chicago, an American feminist artist, conceived “Menstruation Bathroom” (1972), as a part of the Womanhouse Exhibition that highlighted the taboo of the menstrual period. The sculpture featured a trashcan filled with bloody, used tampons in a stark white room. The piece elicited strong reactions from male viewers and served as an alarming example of a menstrual period taboo ― one that still remains to this day. The discussion of periods remains limited, and products such as tampons and pads remain taxed in the majority of U.S. states while products such as Rogaine and potato chips are not, according to a April 20 Newsweek article. This perpetuates a level of economic equality for women.
The Student Union Senate may soon release anonymous surveys to the student body about their club experiences so that students can share candid information about how to improve club experiences, Class of 2018 Senator Abhishek Kulkarni explained at Sunday’s Senate meeting.

The men’s tennis team returned to action this weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Invitational. This marks an unusual feature of the tennis season relative to the other collegiate sports, which normally run continuously through a series of months in one particular season. Tennis, however, is year-round, stretching from September to April, and also contains a four-month interlude from October to February between official matches. This unique schedule presents opportunities and challenges for the team. On the one hand, it allows the team to get a sense of how they stack up against other top ranked teams, which allows them to make adjustments to specific problems. At the same time, however, such a long layoff has the potential to zap any semblance of momentum generated from a strong start.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in a debate for the first time last week, and their respective running mates, Gov. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.), took the debate stage last Tuesday. As election day approaches, both campaigns are vying for any undecided voters. What did you gather from the debates, and how do you think each candidate’s performance will affect the election?

Since 2011, the world has seen the brutality Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is capable of — a capacity for destruction unparalleled even by his father, Hafez Al-Assad. Last year, we saw the image of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy, washed up on the banks of a Turkish beach. Just last month, we witnessed five-year-old Omran Daqneesh sitting in the back of a White Helmets ambulance sporting a bewildered look on his face. The group, also known as Syrian Civil Defense, works indiscriminately to save lives from the rubble.
Comedian John Oliver rhetorically asks why American culture still permits norms like Columbus Day, Ayn Rand and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition in “How Is This Still A Thing,” a recurring segment on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight.” On Thursday, Women’s Studies Research Center scholar Liane Curtis borrowed the segment’s title to question another part of American culture: why major symphony orchestras almost never play music composed by women, especially music from the 19th century.
