	Mr. Brandeis Pageant By Andrea Stern April 19, 2013 - 11:08am Last Thursday the bleachers in Gosman were filled with Deisans who watched their male peers compete for the coveted title of Mr. Brandeis. The Mr. Brandeis Pageant featured 26 gentleman who danced, strutted their stuff down the catwalk in swimsuits, showed off their talents (many sang while former campus cutie Fred Berger made a sandwich with his feet), answered questions, and were even auctioned off in a date auction, all to raise money for Relay for Life.

	What's in Your Lipstick? By Lauren Katz April 11, 2013 - 10:25pm Lead in lipstick, mercury in face cream, formaldehyde in hair products. Whether these toxic chemicals are a cause to worry about future health issues or not a big problem depends on who you ask. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a collection of consumer and environmental groups, argues that no amount of lead in lipstick is a safe and may pose various health risks.
