Men’s Basketball Breaks Out in Opening Weekend

Last weekend men’s basketball kicked off their season, competing in the third annual Oberlin Tip-Off Classic, the team’s season-opening tournament. The Yeomen won their first game against Hiram College on Friday night but fell to York College of Pennsylvania in the championship game on Saturday. The tournament was a much-anticipated opening number for a young team, a chance to try out new roster combinations and for the majority-underclassmen roster to gain experience before their conference season. The Yeomen dominated their game against the Terriers, leading the whole 40 minutes en route to a 77–58 final score. Second-year Noah Kim broke out offensively, notching a career-high 19 points and 4 rebounds, while fellow second-year Augustus Donohue also performed well, scoring 15 points, all via 3-pointers. The club also showed up defensively, led by second-year Sam Kamenko, the Yeomen pressured Hiram’s top shooters and established a fast and aggressive style of play.

Democrats strategize on how to deliver on midterm mandate

Democrats received the message loud and clear from the midterm elections that Americans want results, not “shallow litmus tests,” as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro put it at a conference in Denver this week. But it was evident that Democrats, who gathered at a summit on the way forward as they take control of the House and Senate next year, are still working out just how to achieve those results while President Trump is still in the White House. Shapiro helped Democrats flip four House seats in his state, and he spoke after an election that delivered decisive majorities to Democrats in the Senate and the House. He said voters had rejected “chaos” and “corruption” and are demanding results-focused governance. Shapiro urged congressional Democrats to focus on lowering costs, building affordable housing, protecting consumers and expanding economic opportunity — and not on ideological fights.
