During this election cycle, the Grand Old Party has irrevocably revealed itself as an institution that prioritizes men above women. Of course, leaders and members of the party would loudly deny this claim and spit back something similar to Republican nominee Donald Trump’s tired lie: “Nobody respects women more than I do.” But the very opposite is true: Women rank below men on the GOP’s hierarchy, and after this election cycle, no amount of empty words will be able to hide that.

In the last century, music has changed; we have seen the birth of jazz, rock, hip hop, modern and contemporary classical music, to name just a few. At the same time, attendance at classical music concerts -- particularly by young people -- has dwindled in the United States.

The men’s club soccer team bounced-back this past week, seizing victory in two of its three match-ups. Though the team was unable to hold on to a late lead against top-ranked University of Chicago on Friday, their strong play in the double-overtime loss provides some encouragement moving forward. The squad may finally be finding its footing as its schedule is set to ease up and its focus grows increasingly fixated on capturing that elusive National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament berth.

The men’s tennis team returned to action this weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Invitational. This marks an unusual feature of the tennis season relative to the other collegiate sports, which normally run continuously through a series of months in one particular season. Tennis, however, is year-round, stretching from September to April, and also contains a four-month interlude from October to February between official matches. This unique schedule presents opportunities and challenges for the team. On the one hand, it allows the team to get a sense of how they stack up against other top ranked teams, which allows them to make adjustments to specific problems. At the same time, however, such a long layoff has the potential to zap any semblance of momentum generated from a strong start.

On Friday, Oct. 7, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his efforts to end a half-century-long civil war. While recognition of his effort is laudable, it represents a missed opportunity to shed light on one of the worst — if not the worst — humanitarian crises our world faces: the displacement of 65 million people, 21 million of whom are refugees fleeing war-torn countries.

On Thursday, Sept. 22, President Ron Liebowitz, along with Provost Lisa Lynch and Executive Vice President Stew Uretsky, held an open meeting — the first of three — in which they discussed the discoveries of an outside consultant, Dr. Kermit Daniel of New York consulting firm Incandescent, on the financial health of the University.

Since 2011, the world has seen the brutality Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is capable of — a capacity for destruction unparalleled even by his father, Hafez Al-Assad. Last year, we saw the image of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy, washed up on the banks of a Turkish beach. Just last month, we witnessed five-year-old Omran Daqneesh sitting in the back of a White Helmets ambulance sporting a bewildered look on his face. The group, also known as Syrian Civil Defense, works indiscriminately to save lives from the rubble.

Times keep getting tougher for the men’s soccer team. After two straight crushing double-overtime losses against Babson College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, respectively, the Judges were hoping to get back on track with a big win against longtime cross-town rival Tufts University. Unfortunately, the squad was unable to regain its footing at home, losing its third straight double-overtime contest and failing to net even a single goal. The team is falling fast after a strong start to the season, and its chances of postseason play appear to be slowly slipping away.

The women’s tennis team kick- started its season this weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology International Tennis Association regional tournament. The Judges were looking to improve from their mediocre 11-10 record from their 2015 campaign. Last season, the Judges struggled in the tournament, with only one player advancing past the first round when Keren Khromchenko ’19 was able to double-bagel her Smith College opponent. Aside from Khromchenko, the Judges were unable to slide past their tough competition.

This was a big week for Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello, who collected his league-leading 21st and 22nd wins of the season, which included a complete game against division rival Baltimore Orioles. With those 22 wins, along with a 3.11 ERA, 183 strikeouts and 5.0 wins above replacement (WAR), Porcello is having by far the best season of his career. He is putting himself in Cy Young contention a year after having perhaps the worst season year of his career.
