Jordan Peele is a name most people associate with comedy, satire and the title of the witty show “Key and Peele.” Since then, the duo has split off to do independent projects.

For college students, it is often difficult to get a good night’s rest; with assignments, extracurricular activities and other time consuming commitments, some students often opt to forgo an extra hour of sleep to ensure that they meet a deadline. Though one’s dedication to work should be commended, it should also be remembered that sleep is vital for one’s well-being.According to the National Institute of Health, a good night’s rest helps improve learning and problem solving skills in addition to enhancing one’s productivity, all of which are important in the competitive college environment.
I have not eaten meat in 10 years — that is nearly half of my life. This is a choice I share with 3.2 percent of Americans ― or 7.3 million people ― according to Vegetarian Times. Vegetarians make up 2.7 percent of this statistic and the other 0.5 percent ― 1 million Americans ― are vegan. Among these individuals are those who diligently follow People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or environmental activist groups. Those in these categories may consume Morningstar Farms and Boca Burgers like they are going out of style. However, for the larger percent of Americans ― omnivores ― these groups and perhaps these food choices fail to appeal to them in place of meat products. With new products like the Impossible Burger, cruelty-free living and environmental preservation no longer have to be tied to vegan and vegetarian diets.

The film releases in the first half of March have been very diverse. We have the comedy “Table 19,” the superhero flick “Logan” and the monster movie “Kong: Skull Island.” While the cinematic climate of mid-January to mid-April is usually laden with mediocre or subpar entries following the impressive dramas for Oscar contention around December, there are usually one or two movies that stand out and rise above the others. I am referring to last year’s “Deadpool” and “Zootopia” or 2015’s “Kingsman: The Secret Service” and “Ex Machina.”
If the Republican Party is able to get its act together after eight years of whining about a health care law that brought health insurance to millions of Americans, the Affordable Care Act will be no more. It, supposedly, will be replaced by some sort of top secret plan that, depending on who you ask, will end Medicaid expansions and shift health insurance coverage to health savings accounts — which, despite what Speaker of the House Paul Ryan thinks, are not the same as having health insurance — to promote “financial responsibility.” Or maybe the new law will keep some of the popular parts of the ACA, such as preserving coverage for people with pre-existing conditions or allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance, without keeping the individual mandate. And, if you ask President Donald Trump, his replacement magically creates some sort of system where everyone has high-quality coverage without high premiums or deductibles, all without raising taxes. And yes, the plan is truly top secret. When Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, tried to read the draft bill that House Republicans are working on, he was turned away by Capitol security, according to a March 2 Vox article.

On Jan. 25, Mark Neustadt’s report to the Brandeis community on perceptions of the University showcased that Brandeis is underperforming in the social scene — something that is not news to many. As such, I would like to offer the administration the following structural reforms in an attempt to make Brandeis a more socially active place. At Neustadt’s last presentation, the administration incorrectly blamed the lack of weekend nightlife on the large number of clubs Brandeis has, but clubs are nothing more than a scapegoat for certain structural failures.
The headline of a Jan. 20 New York Times article reads, “ISIS Destroys Part of Roman Theater in Palmyra, Syria.” Unfortunately, over the last few years, we have seen a bevy of such news stories coming from the Middle East. The Islamic State’s rampage from Iraq to Syria has not only taken the lives of many but has also destroyed some of the world’s great architectural and art marvels.
