It’s just a scarf, isn’t it?

Feb 22 - remember the first day of fifth grade. It was September 9th, 2002, two days before the one-year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. I should mention that I am from New York. It was the first time I wore a hijab, a headscarf. I cannot seem to forget that day, perhaps, because it was then that my best friend at the time walked past me without greeting me, after just one... Read more

Environmental Sustainability at Brown

Feb 10 - While you would be hard pressed to find a Brown student who admits total ambivalence to questions of environmental sustainability, many of us are doing far less than we should to protect the environment. Sure you believe in being “green,” whatever that means, but are you absolutely sure you recycled that wine bottle from late last night? When’s the last time you made a... Read more

Raw Food Diets
Dec 15 - Say hello to the uncooked, the unprocessed, the unadulterated, the newest trend in healthy eating: the raw food diet. Advocating that raw or living foods have natural enzymes, which are critical in building proteins and rebuilding the body, raw foodistas only consume food cooked under 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Over the last few years, the financial sphere has tumbled into utter disarray leading to a major lack of faith in capitulating on stock markets and investing in currencies.

After informally polling Brown students, I’ve found a difference of opinion on first date etiquette. Asked whether or not a guy should pay on the first date, most Brown ladies responded that ‘yes’ he should pay, or that the guy should at least offer.  For guys there were... Read more...

Have Contiki, Will Travel - Win the Trip of a Lifetime!
It’s safe to say that for most of us at Brown, studying abroad is part of our college plan. But even with a study abroad plan in the works (or behind you), when Spring begins to peak through the clouds, the travel itch starts, and dreaming about a epic Euro-trip or an Australian adventure...

Getting Green

I’ve realized Brown students’ reputation as Birkenstock wearing, tree-hugging hippies isn’t accurate. Anyone who lived or visited Keeney Quad knows we prefer smoking trees to hugging them. Being green isn’t a big deal on campus. You’re more likely to endanger your... Read more...

My Campus Celebrity

Eco-Frenemy

Strut from your hybrid car with that reusable bag draped casually over one shoulder, where it awaits to be conservatively filled with organic household cleaners. Yes, preserve the world, but really,...

Dans Le Noir

A recent New York Times article discussed the concept of dining in the dark at Dans Le Noir, a popular chain that has restaurants in London, Barcelona and St. Petersburg, and is due to open in the...

Tobias Meyer

With a single-breasted bouclé sports jacket tapered at the waist and a curl falling across the centre of his forehead, Tobias Meyer is as suave and cunning as Don Draper, but his business is...
