It’s popular to begin an article on the Toronto Raptors by saying they don’t get talked about a lot. As much as I would like to avoid what has become a cliché sentiment surrounding this team, the fact is, it’s true. Even with a run to the Eastern Conference Finals last season and some high profile Drake fandom, the Raptors still have flown under the radar in every season in recent basketball memory.

A section of the Dakota Access Pipeline sits above ground in North Dakota, crossing the Missouri River at the northern border of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. As the Army Corps of Engineers prepares to lower the pipeline into the Earth, it faces fierce opposition from protesters who fear water contamination and also want the historically sacred space to be respected, according to a Nov. 1 New York Times article. The protests at Standing Rock are unique in receiving national attention because of their scale, but they are emblematic of larger issues with the way the national government views Native Americans and the reservation system as resources we need not invest in yet can put to our use when it is opportune to do so. The Army Corps of Engineers must heed suggestions to move the Dakota Access Pipeline not only to maintain clean water and preserve sacred Sioux land but also to send a message — that in 2016 we are finally done taking from those who were here before us.

The loss snaps the Judges’ incredible five-game winning streak, yet the team was able to secure a national playoff berth all the same. The Judges were on the fence going into the month, but with their sudden offensive reversal, the team has managed to slide into the National Collegiate Athletic Assocation playoff bracket.

The Judges started out the week coming off a tough first-half of October. The team won just four games in seven matches and went into four double-overtime periods.

However, the Judges have been able to reverse their luck and have gone on a five-win tear as the season comes to a close.
The 2016 to 2017 National Basketball Association season began last week, and with it come several exciting storylines that fans are eager to see play out between now and June. Can the Cleveland Cavaliers defend their title? Can Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors continue to perform at a historically impressive level of eliteness? However, there are three notable storylines that every NBA fan should keep their eyes on as the season kicks in.
Though a boost in the minimum wage may be popular, the Earned Income Tax Credit for low- and middle-income workers is a superior alternative.
The men’s soccer team has pushed its winning streak to two games after a nail biting 1-0 victory over Clark University on Wednesday, the Judges’ only action of the week.

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.

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.
