With the demolition of Ridgewood set to expel an additional 109 students onto the mean streets of Waltham next year, and with over 30 percent of the junior class studying abroad next semester, now is a good a time to look into off-campus housing.
There's something a little bizarre about this whole "fight song" thing. It's not that the song itself is weird-well, no more so than a typical fight song-but the overall circumstances of its development and promulgation are just a bit peculiar.I should note before continuing that I think it's great that Brandeis now has a marching band, and that they now "officially" have something to do other than stand around in snazzy uniforms holding their instruments.
To the Editor:The Sept. 26 article "F-Board Marathon Mostly a Success" provided mostly good coverage into the club funding process except for one area; we felt that our experience in the marathon process was spun to paint the Finance Board in a negative light.
It would appear fitting that Brandeis begins with a "B." That's the grade (rounded up, actually) given to the University by Brandeis University: Off the Record, a guide geared toward prospectives, and, according to the cover, "written by students for students." The student author is Andrew Katz '06, and the book is prominently displayed in the Bookstore.
The traditional showcase for school spirit is a football game, but since Brandeis stopped hosting those more than 40 years ago, the student body has been infamously devoid of such sentiment.
It would be an understatement to say that I've taken a lot of flak over the past few weeks for my last article, which argued that Brandeis is too "Jewish."To address some of the issues raised by my detractors: I have no desire to vacation in Cancun, ever; I don't like partying, on Friday or any other night of the week; I love Brandeis and would never consider transferring; and I'm a Conservative Jew.
Here are the 11 most common names at Brandeis: David. Jonathan. Rachel. Sara(h). -stein. -baum. -berg.
9:45 p.m.-Pretty much everyone's hanging out in Chum's, counting down the last minutes until we get started.
We've heard it before: College is the training ground for the real world. It's supposed to be this great aspect of college life, that we have the opportunity-probably our only one-not only to experience the unfamiliar, but also to practice in the areas in which we will spend our futures.As last week's referendum against Iran's nuclear research, sponsored by the Brandeis Israel Public Affairs Committee, reveals, collegiate activism is a rehearsal for future endeavors, especially at a school like ours.To dispel any lingering confusion, the Student Union is constitutionally required to present a petition to the entire student body if its sponsor gathers signatures from at least 15 percent of the undergraduate population.
It's an unfortunately typical story: An act of vandalism, or any other crime, committed against a minority group rallies the neighborhood to prove to the perpetrators that "hate won't get this community down." The townspeople join hands, sing "We are the World" and espouse the eternal brotherhood of man.
