Carbon dioxide emission is the iconic image of pollution. I vividly remember reading science textbooks throughout grade school with pictures of factories spewing a dirty brown gas into the atmosphere. I was repulsed. People need to do something about this, I thought. As it turns out, I — not to mention many other advocates — may be looking at global warming all wrong. By focusing solely on carbon dioxide, we have overlooked other dangerous greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide produced by the agriculture industry. These gases have had detrimental effects on our planet and will continue to do so unless remedied in the near future.

As the NBA playoffs begin to wind down, many are surprised by the absence of the San Antonio Spurs from this year’s Western Conference Finals. After being defeated by the far younger, far more athletic Oklahoma City Thunder in six games, the Spurs were sent packing despite many believing that they had the greatest potential to rip the NBA Championship from point guard Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

An artist is nothing without his printmaker. Printmaking is unique in the art world. It relies largely on what master printmaker Dan Welden said is “a love for process” while other art forms, such as painting, rely on perfecting the piece. Welden stated that painting is “more direct from the heart to the canvas.”

So, why doesn’t Brandeis have a football team? There’s probably a proper answer for that, but hey, who needs a varsity football team when you have the Adagio Dance Company? Last Thursday evening, the University’s largest student-run dance group hosted their spring show, “Undefeated,” in Levin Ballroom. The audience was restless and eager before the performance even began, and we weren’t left lacking for excitement. After all, as emcees Ray Trott ’16 and Dan Rozel ’16 reminded us throughout the night, “If dance were any easier, it would be called football!”
