One of the most annoying trends to reach adolescents within the past few years is vaping. Not only do users not realize that they look utterly obnoxious blowing smoke clouds everywhere, but also, they may not know that they are inevitably contributing to a nicotine addiction. Most e-cigarettes or vape products contain an oil form of nicotine that is vaporized when heated. Take Juul Labs, the makers of the ubiquitous USB-shaped device of the same name, for example. Their website states that products come in two varieties that have either three or five percent nicotine by weight. That translates to about 23 and 40 mg, respectively, of nicotine per pod. According to a March 15 NPR article, the average domestically made cigarette contains between 1.1 to 1.7 mg of nicotine. The Juul Labs website also notes that each pod lasts for around 200 puffs. Knowing this, it is ludicrous that people under 18 are able to acquire these products, and the retailers supplying and marketing them are at fault.

The Brandeis men’s and women’s cross country teams both competed on Saturday in the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Cross Country Invitational. This was the team's second meet of the young season, and the meet offered a much more complete picture of how the team stacks up against its competition. The Wellesley invitational had the Judges competing against only Wellesley College, Wentworth Institute of Technology and Regis College. The UMass Dartmouth Invitational however, saw the Judges in a 41 team field that was a lot more diverse in skill and strategy. Each team had varying degrees of success as well as their own individual stand-out performances. Here is how both teams fared against their competition.

The Brandeis men’s soccer team conducted a very successful campaign that brought them all the way to the Division III final four last year. The team has also made six straight trips to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, the second-longest streak in Division III. This season, expectations for the team are certainly high, as it begins the season ranked fourth in the nation among Division III schools. The team has started off their season 1-1 after two contests in the North Shore classic.

Except for the men’s doubles duo of David Aizenberg ’20 and Anupreeth Coramutla ’21, the season has come to an end for the the men’s and women’s tennis teams. The dynamic duo was selected to travel to Claremont, California in two weeks to compete in the NCAA national tennis tournament against students from all across the nation. For everyone else, now is the time to reflect on one of the most successful tennis seasons in decades, in which both teams spent much of the campaign in the national rankings. Here are how the last few weeks of the season went down for the tennis team.
