The Cavaliers’ chokehold on the Eastern conference title is slowly slipping out of their grasp. With the drama surrounding point guard Kyrie Irving’s alleged trade request, Cavs general manager Koby Altman quickly dished the player in a blockbuster trade. The Cavs relinquished their leash on one of the best point guards in the league for Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas, forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and two draft picks.

Tomorrow, on your walk to class, look around you. Blooms break from the earth in a brilliant display of color as the end of the semester draws into our collective consciousness. It should be a happy time. People certainly will seem happy, laughing and enjoying the new spring warmth, waiting for summer to whisk them away. But joyful as the scene is, a tough truth hides in the people you see. Behind one out of every five of those sun-stained faces, perhaps laughing along with the others, is a young adult struggling with a diagnosable mental illness. This statistic is supplied by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Some estimates suggest that the ratio is even higher, at nearly one in four, according to the World Health Organization. Though attitudes on mental health are softening in the United States, there still exists a stigma against seeking the proper help. This rings somewhat true even among Brandeis’ forward-thinking student body.
