When U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away on Feb. 13, he left a vacancy in the Supreme Court for the president to fill. The Obama administration began the nomination process soon after, but due to the presidential election being only months away, the Republican-controlled Senate — led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — has vowed to reject any nomination President Obama makes. Critics have said that the Senate has a constitutional duty to consider Obama’s nominees. Do you feel it is appropriate for Obama to nominate a new Supreme Court Justice in the last months of his presidency, and what qualities do you hope to see in the next justice?

Last Tuesday, Denmark’s government passed a bill allowing police to search refugees entering Denmark and confiscate their valuables in order to offset the financial burden of an influx of refugees. Originally, the bill allowed refugees to keep belongings totaling 3,000 Danish crowns — nearly 437 U.S. dollars — but after complaints from human rights organizations, Danish Parliament raised the sum to 10,000 crowns — approximately 1,450 U.S. dollars. The bill exempts items of sentimental value. What do you think of this new law, and should the U.S. adopt a similar tactic if it accepts refugees?

According to Moroccan-born Israeli anthropologist and author André Levy, “In my eyes, anthropology, more than any other discipline in the social sciences, aspires to be present in life itself, in order to make sense of it and to give it meaning. It attempts to understand human action from an immediate closeness of which there is no comparison in the social sciences.”

Like many Brandeis students, David Benger ’14 was a first-year with diverse interests and no intention of settling on one life path — at least not before exploring where each of his passions might lead. As a first-year he took classes in the Near Eastern and Judaic Studies department and spent the summer learning Yiddish. The year after, he took up a minor in Theater Arts, involving himself in productions on and off campus. He polished his Russian to fluency with a major in Russian Studies, took on a second major in Politics and although he was enjoying his academic experience, a career path had not clicked.
