Dark clouds were not an impediment for the Light of Reason to shine over the Rose Art Museum last Friday evening. Unfortunately, this year’s SCRAM Jam — the annual party organized by the Student Committee for the Rose Art Museum — did not happen under the best meteorological conditions. Nevertheless, the event dedicated to community, self-expression and celebration of the arts gathered a considerable crowd that reminded us that art is not to be confined to the walls of a museum, but to be enjoyed as a dynamic rupture in public space.
Spring is here, which means Brandesians are taking to the outdoors to … continue studying. Ever-industrious laptop and textbook-toters are settling in the two library-adjacent outdoor study spaces, as well as Mandel’s patios en masse. However, cigarette smoke dissuades many students from working outside. The two areas where tables are provided for students to gather outside are also popular spots for smokers, given Brandeis’ 30-foot rule regulating smoking on campus. As discussed in a 2014 Justice editorial, the rule prohibits smoking within 30 feet of a campus building entrance, but does little else. This rule is unfavorable to students and the University because it is difficult to enforce, poses a health hazard and disperses smoking-related garbage widely across campus. The Brandeis chapter of Colleges Against Cancer has advocated for changing this rule, but their complaints have fallen on deaf ears. As suggested in 2014, Brandeis should adopt smoke-free policies for outdoor campus areas and establish designated smoking areas. This would promote the use of outdoor spaces, improving both student health and the student experience, as well as the school’s image.

From her pun-filled emails to her presence at Student Union events, Simran Tatuskar ’21 has become the face of the Union this semester. Next year she will be even more visible, as she was elected Union president on Thursday. Yet Tatuskar’s journey to becoming so involved in the Union has not been as straightforward as some may assume.

JustArts: Tell me a bit about Brandeis Korean Student Association.
Earlier this month, the Brandeis Asian American Students Association opened Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with their “Dare to Dream” event. While APAHM is normally celebrated in May, the event was held in March to avoid conflicting with finals, as the hosts explained. The more people contribute the better, especially when raising money: BAASA sent the proceeds from the event to the National Immigration Forum, a leading organization in advocating for immigration policy reform and helping immigrants, including Dreamers. In fact, this is what the event name — “Dare to Dream” — refers to.
“You’ve really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple,” Donald Trump said as he commended Apple CEO Tim Cook at an American Workforce Policy Advisory Board on Wednesday. This hilarious slip of the tongue caused Tim Cook to change his Twitter name to “Tim” with the Apple logo next to his name, according to a Thursday CNBC report, as well as his official profile. The meme volcano erupted with references to well-known entrepreneurs ‘Bill Microsoft’ and ‘Elon Tesla,’ as well as colonial forebears ‘George America’ and ‘Ben Electricity.’ Technically, Elon’s surname should be a hyphenated PayPal-Tesla-SpaceX, but let us not get too pedantic. This is not the first time Trump has flubbed a CEO’s name in a corporate Freudian slip; last March he introduced Marilyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin as “Marilyn Lockheed.”
