Exploring Immigration
(05/23/17 3:28am)
The aroma of Guatemalan pastries filled the Multipurpose Room in the Shapiro Campus Center on May 3 as Marci McPhee, director of campus programs at the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life, opened this semester’s Immigrant Practicum Presentation with an explanation of its purpose. Each preceding week, Hannah Baker-Lerner ’20, graduate student Olivia Wang and Daniella Cohen ’18 spent three hours in a base class relevant to Anthropology or International and Global Studies, three hours in a community organization supporting immigrants and an hour in “The Immigrant Experience in Waltham: A Service-based Practicum,” a course taught by McPhee. The Immigrant Practicum Presentation concluded these immersive journeys, allowing the students to share what they learned.

(05/02/17 1:00am)
In the midst of incoming freshman, Guy Raz ’96 took his first step onto the Brandeis campus.

Adagio shows the places you can go with hard work
(04/25/17 3:15am)
“I will dance here or there, I will dance everywhere!” Adagio performed the spring semester show in Levin ballroom at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. The room was filled with parents and students, all there to support the dancers and to watch some well-performed numbers. The show consisted of 22 dances, mixed with contemporary and freestyle dancing, with some hilarious commentary introducing each performance according to the theme for the night, Dr. Seuss. The theme tied into each transition from dance to dance and how they titled their performances. As the show was first starting, there were what seemed to be unsettled rumbles from the audience as they were uncertain what they were there to see, but, as the show got going, each member of the audience was on the edge of their seats, either raving about the last performance or anticipating the next one.
‘Alice’ is an innovative twist on a classic
(04/25/17 2:23am)
Most theater productions take place on a traditional stage in an enclosed theater, but for its production of “Alice in Wonderland,” the Brandeis Ensemble Theater decided to take a different approach. Alice (Talia Bornstein ’19) and the White Rabbit (Lynnea Harding ’19) interactively led the audience through the Shiffman Humanities Center, with each room serving as the backdrop for a different scene. Each scene was directed by a different person, leading to many perspectives being lent to the play.

Acknowledge prevalence of art theft and its implications
(04/04/17 3:31am)
Stolen coins, burgled artwork and forgeries all share a common trait — they result from crime. Venturing one step further, one might ask: What compels an individual to commit art theft or forgery? While the motive is not completely understood, it is known that these events have occurred in the past and continue to occur.
Condemn NFL’s prioritization of profit over viewer satisfaction
(03/28/17 7:25am)
For the third time in little more than a year, an American football team is packing its bags and moving away. The Oakland Raiders are relocating to Las Vegas, where they await $650 million from Bank of America and $750 million from taxpayers in order to finance a new stadium, according to a March 27 MarketWatch article. The team has the blessings of the National Football League, an organization that is willing to overlook its aversion to sports gambling and small television markets if it can partake in the extortion of yet another community. In the NFL, teams are forever on the prowl for new markets and fancier stadiums, and whatever city is foolish enough to waste public funds on courting a professional football team can part ways with their money with great ease.
Remembering a duo, Carrie and Debbie
(03/28/17 1:59am)
The year 2016 was anything but uneventful. From one of the most dramatic elections in modern American history to the most celebrity deaths since 2009 (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and the guy who made those infomercials for Oxi-Clean, Billy Mays), 2016 ended on a depressing note. Carrie Fisher, beloved actress, passed away after suffering a cardiac incident on a transcontinental flight. Days later, Fisher’s mother Debbie Reynolds passed away from a stroke, related to the stress of her daughter’s death. The two of them were buried side by side in December at a private funeral, and a public memorial service was held in their honor in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 25th. The service focused on both of their careers as fans were given the opportunity to pay their respects. The service featured pre-taped highlight reels featuring both aspects of their careers. Other actors, such as Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker from “Star Wars”) and Dan Akroyd (former Saturday Night Live actor and ex-fiancé of Fischer) shared their memories. The most heart-wrenching moment was when R2D2 rolled on to the stage, beeping mournfully, and Fisher’s brother Todd kneeled down to comfort him.

Fit to Print
(03/28/17 12:33am)
“When I came to Brandeis, I thought 3D printing was science fiction,” said Gabriel Seltzer ’18 in an interview with the Justice. Then he joined Deis3D, the on-campus 3D printing club located in the MakerLab above Goldfarb Library. He recalls his early days in the club, saying, “I started making my own objects, fixing printers, and helping out … it all sort of just snowballed from there.” Today, Seltzer is the vice president of Deis3D.
Acknowledge the expanding options in vegetarian food choices
(03/21/17 5:11am)
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.
