HSK: Non-fiction writer or stay-at-home dad, depending on whether my wife wants to work or not. HCB: What makes you the best candidate for Mr. Brandeis Freshman? HSK: I think I am the best Mr. Freshman because I am always relaxed and I always try to do my best to keep my peers relaxed, which is important in a stress-filled college environment. HCB: Manners are always important, which gesture do you think is most essential for a man to make? HSK: The most important gesture a man can make is to shower his lady with compliments. A man needs to notice the little things (hair, earrings, bracelets, etc...)and make sure he tells her that he notices them and that he thinks they look beautiful. HCB: Finish the statement: What I love most about Brandeis is...? HSK: What I love most about Brandeis is that people are judged based on their character rather than based on more superficial aspects of their lives (wealth, looks, etc...) HCB: What one thing have you always wanted to do? HSK: I have always wanted to hail a cab and ask the driver to take me to his favorite place and then sit back and see where I go. HCB: What is your biggest fear? HSK: My greatest fear is being lit on fire. HCB: Your first kiss, good bad or ugly? HSK: My first kiss was good. It happened during a game similar to spin-the-bottle. The kiss was not the product of love, but it was with a very pretty girl, which meant a lot more to me when I was 13 than it does now. Contestant 3: Yuri Gloumakov Hometown: Rishon-Letziyon, Israel Major: Math, pre-med HCB: What is you're career ambition? YG: CIA, UN something, maybe medical practitioner of sort HCB: What makes you the best candidate for Mr. Brandeis Freshman? YG: Sanguine, phlegmatic and caring HCB: Manners are always important, which gesture do you think is most essential for a man to make? YG: This doesn't work like that, no one gesture that I say will make sense. It's the attitude, how things are approached, the man gotta be respectful. HCB: Finish the statement: What I love most about Brandeis is...? YG: The amazing science curriculum HCB: What one thing have you always wanted to do? YG: Travel, learn languages and cultures HCB: What is your biggest fear? YG: Ending up lonely HCB: Your first kiss, good bad or ugly?

HCB: What makes you the best candidate for Mr. Brandeis Freshman? JG: I am social, outgoing and friendly HCB: Manners are always important, which gesture do you think is most essential for a man to make? JG: Gestures are petty useless when you only make them once in a while. The best a man can do is notice when he's stopped making nice gestures and make up for it. HCB: Finish the statement: What I love most about Brandeis is...? JG: Zeta Beta Tau. HCB: What one thing have you always wanted to do? JG: Sky Dive. HCB: What is your biggest fear? JG: Having a reputation that is different from my actual character. HCB: Your first kiss, good bad or ugly? JG: Messy, but I guess that's to be expected =).
