The pavement shone from the recent rain as two members of Brandeis Climate Justice embarked on their shift for their yearly free food delivery event, which took place on Oct. 3. The annual event is a way for the group to raise awareness for their cause and start dialogue on campus about climate-related issues. Both club members were armed with scripts explaining BCJ’s position on divestment and their campaign goals, as well as containers of handmade chocolate-covered pretzels. They were on a mission: to deliver the pretzels — along with information about climate change. They ventured through campus, stopping at dorms to deliver their bittersweet message. Some students they spoke with were excited by the prospect of the University divesting completely from fossil fuels, while others expressed skepticism, which prompted more discussion. The club is in their seventh year of attempting to get the Brandeis Board of Trustees to divest in fossil fuel related investments, and has been doing the pretzel drive for years.

Get your sneakers ready! “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is an inspiring new comedy written and directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo. The story follows Brittany (Jillian Bell) — a lazy, alcoholic, misguided couch potato and her journey to change her life by participating in the New York Marathon. Both heartfelt and hilarious, Colaizzo assembles a slew of well-rounded, complex characters that shame traditional, one-dimensional comedic stereotypes of years past. Through her new running mates, an unlikely roommate and the disposal of a selfish, long-time friend, Brittany’s new crew aids her in her journey towards self appreciation as she struggles to completely alter her way of life.

Have you ever walked through the Olin-Sang American Civilization Center and the Mandel Center for the Humanities and heard music carrying through the halls? It could be coming from your own AirPods, or it could be a concert in the “Music at Mandel” series — free concerts for the Brandeis community that occur seven times each school year.

It’s said that Bostonians spend 500 days of their lives commuting. That may sound nasty, but perhaps Joshua Shuster ’23 can beat that with a weekly commute between Waltham and New York. This first-year isn’t commuting back to the Big Apple out of homesickness, but because of his work there as a music producer.

United States basketball. The phrase brings imagery of some of the most amazing collections of talent the world has ever seen. Amazing teams such as the Dream Team of 1992, where Magic Johnson came out of retirement to join arguably the greatest collection of talent ever assembled with Team USA basketball looking forward with 11 of 12 players and three of the four coaches eventually being added to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The redeem team of 2008 where Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul dominated every match en route to a “competitive” 11 point win against Spain — their closest game all tournament — earned redemption for their previous bronze medal finish.

As the lights in the theater dims, an excited hush falls over the audience. Six figures enter and stand in a straight line across the stage. Lights flash on each girl as they introduce their characters in one word: “divorced,” “beheaded,” “died,” “divorced,” “beheaded,” “survived.” Then, all the lights blaze across the stage as the queens unite in song and the audience erupts in an enthusiastic chorus of cheers.

Last week, I received an email from a source that I will not name with a very interesting op-ed attached. As the Forum editor for the Justice, this happens quite often, as many individuals from both within and outside the Brandeis community want their voices and opinions heard.

A Quentin Tarantino movie without five hundred gallons of fake blood and eight flashbacks in a row? Now you have it. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is Tarantino’s ninth movie, written and directed by himself. Set in 1960s Los Angeles, the film tells the story of washed-up actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt respectively, who struggle to survive in a changing world. At the same time, the rising star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) just moved into the area with her husband and is familiarizing herself with the town.

I walk a lot. For the past few years, my average step count has hovered near 20,000 per day. When I started my MBA program at the Brandeis International Business School (IBS) last fall, I vowed that I would not change this good habit, and I prioritized it over many other things. Walking helps me with so many things, so I decided that taking walks would be the best way to familiarize myself with the campus as well.

Angel Henriquez ’22 is a devoted fan of the Washington, D.C. football team, but won’t say the team’s name aloud because “it’s disrespectful, and the name should be changed.” Since the 2016 presidential election, Henriquez has stopped wearing team gear and decided the only way to challenge the inequity around him is to become the first Latino member of the D.C. city council — but not the last. Henriquez plans to run after graduating Brandeis and to work his way into mayoral office eventually. In the meantime, the Brandeis sophomore spends his breaks working in local Washington politics, is working remotely with a non-profit, and has “made a name for [him]self” at home, he told the Justice in an interview.

Women majoring in computer science are a rare sight on university campuses across the U.S. While computer science research jobs are growing exponentially, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that women only earn 18 percent of all bachelor’s degrees in computer science awarded by American universities. In the workplace, this has translated to a decline in female computer science professionals since the 1990s, and there is little to indicate a shift in this trend. The Justice spoke to one Brandeis student who is on a mission to change that.
