I am writing in support of Gonny Nir’s thoughtful and well-founded (if somewhat protracted) columns in The Justice regarding the current state of academic life here at Brandeis. Like Gonny, I’ve often felt that the best features of campus life involve what she calls “meaningful experiences” that arise naturally between inquisitive students and caring faculty and staff. I also agree with her that these experiences cannot be forced. But I also believe, with the help of the Department of Student Affairs, that the essence of these experiences can be made a part of what Gonny refers to as the “infrastructure” of our university.

As the sun sets at 4 p.m. and the temperature reaches below “tank-top” weather, I tend to get cynical — more so than usual. Being a product of the summer months and a born-and-bred desert lizard, my mood and general outlook on the world trend toward a downward spiral as the short, bitterly cold winter days creep closer. If my shrink — yes, it’s a politically incorrect term; no, I, a proud old-fashioned Jew, will not stop using it — were honest with me, she’d say that I’m a victim of seasonal affective disorder. And there is simply no amount of “happy lamps” and over-the-counter Vitamin D that can cure my wintertime blues. Trust me, I’ve tried it all.

What’s stopping us from achieving our highest fashion potential? I’ll cut straight to the chase: it’s because we’re not willing to be weird or look weird.

Vine, the ultra-short form video-sharing platform launched in 2013, produced many unlikely cultural fixations among its mostly Generation Z and late-millennial user base. Among these was the video created by user Josh Kennedy, who, for reasons still mysterious to many, uploaded a video in which he uttered “waddup, I’m Jared, I’m 19, and I never fucking learned how to read.” The rest is internet history, and many of us still drop the phrase on occasions we deem appropriate.

Researchers have explored the impact of news coverage of the civil rights movement and its influence on public and social opinion. A researcher from Princeton University’s political science department, Omar Wasow, suggested that the media covered civil rights protests in the 1960s in different ways, depending on whether protests were peaceful or violent. He argued that when protestors remained peaceful, particularly in the face of aggression and violence, the resulting images shocked a complacent nation into action. But when the protestors themselves turned violent, even in self-defense, the media message shifted from a framing around civil rights to one around the need for control.
