To anyone who is paying attention, one of the most intriguing stories in the world of soccer for the past couple of years has been the increasing prevalence of Basque soccer, specifically Basque soccer managers. Last season, Xabi Alonso — head coach of Bayer Leverkusen — broke Bayern Munich’s 11-year Bundesliga winning streak in his second season as the Bayer Leverkusen coach. In North London, Mikel Arteta has also had a successful run as the Arsenal manager, winning an FA cup and challenging Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City for the Premier League (EPL) title. Out of 20 teams in the EPL, four of them have Basque managers — Arteta, Unai Emery (Aston Villa F.C.), Julen Lopetegui (West Ham United) and Andoni Iraola (A.F.C. Bournemouth).

Coming to Hopkins as an international student during the pandemic, I really had no idea what to expect. We were still under some pandemic restrictions, especially on the Homewood Campus, and I had barely met anyone who would also be attending Hopkins that fall. I felt scared and a little isolated. But my parents had been insistent on me giving it a go. Specifically, I remember my dad saying that I would make a new life for myself here in Baltimore, and that the chance to live in a country like the U.S. during university would open my eyes to a whole new range of perspectives.

For their Fall 2024 show, Hopkins’ longest-standing theater company, The Barnstormers, performed one of Shakespeare’s most performed plays, the romantic comedy Twelfth Night. I made sure to attend their first performance on Oct. 24, which had a sparse crowd — likely due to it being on a Thursday — but an energetic atmosphere.

October is National Arts and Humanities Month, and perhaps it is ironic that in a month designed to celebrate music, literature and philosophy, we are reflecting on just how neglected these pursuits are on college campuses like Hopkins.

A chimera is an organism composed of cells from two or more distinct genotypes. Human-animal chimeras are a budding area of research and involve the introduction and growth of human tissues in an animal. Chimerism research holds great promise in improving the availability of organs for organ transplantation, which is a major issue due to the current severe organ shortage. Initial chimerism studies involved smaller organisms, such as one where researchers attempted to grow a rat pancreas in a mouse.

I’ll admit I’m not much of a fan of seasons. Give me a hot summer all year round, and I’ll be happy. But since I can’t do anything to stop the cold from creeping under the windows, I may as well crank the heat up and get under the blankets with a good book. Light a candle, and I’m set.

The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, and with it comes a lot of speculation about the potential moves that could take place. We have already seen the Kansas City Chiefs make a move for DeAndre Hopkins and the New York Jets for Davante Adams, but we could be set to see some more big moves. We have seen plenty of moves in the past that have fundamentally impacted the way that the season unfolded, such as the Von Miller trade to the Rams in 2021. Teams will always be tempted by the possibility that a move could put them over the edge. However, they might have to forfeit some draft capital in order to do so.

Over the past four years, nearly 8.7 million migrants have illegally crossed the southern border. This statistic excludes 2.1 million from all other encounters nationwide and an estimated 1.8 million “gotaways” who evaded encounters by law enforcement and are somewhere in our country illegally. Since 2021, several Trump-era border enforcement policies keeping migration at a sustainable and processable level have been repealed, resulting in a projected 274% increase in encounters from the last administration and the highest ever recorded in U.S. history.

I let letters define my intelligence. The jumble of alphanumerical descriptions on my graded assignments define my worth in my eyes; I allow them to present themselves as my reflection. I deem myself to be condemned if they do not correlate to the first two letters of the alphabet. This doctrine feeds the monster of academic validation, allowing him to pounce on me and scold me for not being good enough.
