The men’s basketball team hit the court Sunday against Carnegie Mellon University and Friday against Case Western Reserve University, splitting its contests with the two conference foes. The Judges claimed an easy victory Sunday, thanks mostly to a stellar second half effort. On Friday, however, the Judges fell to Case in a close battle that saw five Judges score in double figures. The squad has had a difficult time stringing together consecutive victories to this point in the season, and this past week’s results only exacerbate concerns over the team’s ability to deliver on a night-to-night basis.
On Tuesday, the day after a special on-campus screening of the new film “Spotlight,” the former members of the Boston Globe’s investigative Spotlight team on whom the film was based sat down for a panel discussion about how they reported the Massachusetts clergy sex abuse scandal.
Canada elected its first new prime minister in nearly a decade last Monday, as the Conservative Party’s Stephen Harper was ousted by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party, which also gained an absolute majority in the country’s government. Though Canada is the United States’s largest trading partner, Harper’s relationship with President Barack Obama has been complicated, due to Obama’s opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, which Harper supports. Trudeau, though nominally pro-Keystone as well, has also spoken about the importance of balancing environmental impacts of the proposed pipeline. The Liberal party has also indicated that it would remove Canada’s non-NATO military from the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State. As the US prepares for its own presidential elections, how do you see Trudeau’s election impacting the next year of US-Canada relations?

The Obama Administration agreed to open up portions of the Atlantic coast to drilling for the first time last Tuesday while designating parts of oil-rich Alaska as off limits. The decision comes just days after the administration’s push to secure protection of Alaskan wildlife by restricting drilling in an area of nearly 10 million acres. Interior Secretary Sally Jewel complimented the decision, calling it “a balanced proposal that would make available nearly 80 percent of of the undiscovered technically recoverable resources.” The Sierra Club, meanwhile, released a statement claiming that “opening these areas to dirty fuel development is incompatible with a healthy future for America’s coastlines, coastal communities, or our climate.” Although drilling may take many years to be fully approved, do you support the administration’s decision?
Members of the Brandeis community took part in two vigils last week to commemorate the 17 victims of the recent terrorist attack in Paris and the victims of recent terrorist attacks in Nigeria.
Due to a lack of cable and spare time, my budget for new television shows is relatively slim. However, I did find time to check out NBC’s newest comedy Bad Judge starring Kate Walsh as Rebecca Wright, a discombobulated and questionable criminal court judge. I am drawn to the show because Wright doesn’t care about the system or expectations—she does whatever she wants while still serving as an excellent judge. Her antics are amusing and liberating—the show proves that just because she does not behave like your stereotypical judge, does not mean she is bad at her job.
The men’s and women’s cross country teams finished off impressive seasons at the NCAA Division III New England Regional Championships at Williams College this past Saturday, sending Kelsey Whitaker ’16 to the NCAA Division III Championships in the process.

The men’s and women’s cross country teams dominated at the Keene State College Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The men finished first overall out of 12 teams, while the women recorded a second place finish in a field of 14 teams.
The men’s and women’s cross country teams both excelled at individual events last year, even though the small squads were unable to compete overall with larger squads in the region. The women’s team sent at least one runner to the NCAA Championships in each of the three phases of the season—the outdoor fall season, indoor winter season and outdoor spring season—and the men’s team sent an athlete to the NCAA Championships last spring. Under the direction of second-year coach Sinead Evans, who took over following the resignation of the former coach last December, the Judges look once again for strong individual years from their top athletes.
