Anti-sports betting posters seen on campus amid epidemic of college student interest in gambling

(11/18/25 11:00am)

Brightly colored posters with messages such as “Is your friend always on sports betting apps?” have become mainstays at bulletin boards and shuttle stations on campus since the start of the academic year. Displayed in their bottom right corner is the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s seal, and just beside it is a logo for its “Let’s Get Real About Gambling” initiative. A document promoting the initiative claims, “We don’t just want to help individuals dealing with problem gambling; we want to mitigate harms associated with problem gambling in Massachusetts.” Meanwhile, on the bottom left corner of all posters, a quick response code links to the department’s “Problem Gambling” page.

People Between Nations

(11/04/25 11:00am)

On Oct. 30, President Donald J. Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea, where they successfully “agreed on almost everything,” leaving Trump pleasantly rating their meeting at a “twelve out of ten.” Amidst growing political tensions that have been deteriorating since the beginning of United States-China relations, China’s decision to pause its curbs on rare earth mineral exports for one year and Trump’s lowering of tariffs has alleviated some pressures in both their economies.

First week of NBA’s 2025-26 season opens with a bang

(10/28/25 5:39pm)

The 2025-26 NBA season is only a week old and we’ve already seen historic performances, big surprises and involvement from the FBI. The season kicked off last Tuesday with an instant classic between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets. The game went to double overtime and came down to a single missed shot from the Rockets’ Jabari Smith Jr. to decide the game, with the Thunder coming out with the season’s first win. This game would prove to be prophetic of what would come over the next week.

"Dahomey:" Albertine French Film Festival in Full Swing with this Anti-Colonialist Documentary

(10/28/25 10:00am)

The second annual Albertine French Film Festival is now in full swing at the University. Last year, the festival’s inaugural week showcased a sweeping selection of contemporary French films at the Wasserman Cinemateque free of charge. Now in its second run, the festival presented by the French and Francophone Studies Program of the Department of Romance Studies spotlights even more French films, each of which pack a strong cultural punch. The festival began on Friday, Oct. 17, with the dark yet vibrant film “Disco Boy” (2023), providing the festival’s “Spotlight on Drama.” This week, the festival moved on to its “Spotlight on Documentary” with the haunting one-hour documentary “Dahomey” (2024), directed by Mati Diop. With a restrained and dreamlike meditation on colonialism and the effectiveness of restitution, this film follows 26 stolen royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey as they are returned from Paris to their country of origin, the modern-day Republic of Benin.
