This past weekend, the Brandeis Track and Field teams concluded their first rounds of the indoor postseason. Several individuals competed at two important qualifiers for nationals, the Eastern Conference Athletic Conference in Ithaca, New York, and the Tufts University Last Chance Meet in Medford, Massachusetts. The short distance sprinters went to New York to race, while the longer distance runners took the shorter trip to Tufts. Despite the team being separated by such a significant distance, the Judges seemed to run with the same unity and teamwork they usually have when together. At the ECAC, Jack Allan '20 earned All-ECAC honors for his stellar performance. Other runners performed well in both meets, showing off the Judges’ athletic abilities.

On Jan. 25, Mark Neustadt’s report to the Brandeis community on perceptions of the University showcased that Brandeis is underperforming in the social scene — something that is not news to many. As such, I would like to offer the administration the following structural reforms in an attempt to make Brandeis a more socially active place. At Neustadt’s last presentation, the administration incorrectly blamed the lack of weekend nightlife on the large number of clubs Brandeis has, but clubs are nothing more than a scapegoat for certain structural failures.

The storyline that captured the National Basketball Association’s attention the entire offseason has continued into the halfway point of the season: the surprising departure of Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Golden State Warriors. The saga continued Saturday night as Durant made his much-anticipated return to Oklahoma City, as the Warriors battled the Thunder. The much-hyped matchup did not disappoint, as Durant put up big numbers against his former teammate, and now rival, Russell Westbrook. The last nine years of the Durant-Westbrook chronicle have been entertaining and constant. As teammates for the first eight of those, the young duo took over the league together.
