Gallery Review
Art has traditionally been thought of as a two-dimensional, individual experience; indeed the term "art" itself often evokes the image of a solitary viewer looking at a flat painting hanging on a flat wall. Artist Nancy Holt seeks to defy that perception by forcing her audience to engage in an entire landscape, extending art out of its standard, rectangular canvas into a living, three-dimensional environment.

The defending national champion Lord Jeffs asserted their dominance on Saturday at Cousens Gym, downing the Jumbos 48-31 to notch their 41th straight victory. On an afternoon when the women's basketball team honored its two seniors, co-captain forward Kate Barnosky and guard Tiffany Kornegay, for their contributions to the program, Tufts simply had no answers for the number one team in the nation.
The men's basketball team was lacking a few things this weekend. Drama was not one of them. After beating Trinity 64-62 on a buzzer-beater on Friday night, Tufts gave national No. 6 Amherst a run for its money, leading after the first half and closing in late before eventually falling 74-65.
The Nevada caucuses came to a close on Saturday with a clear winner. Mitt Romney won the state by a sizable margin, obtaining about 15,000 votes so far with 89 percent of precincts reporting at the time of publication. Last month, Rick Santorum took away 13 delegates from the Iowa caucuses, beating Romney by a narrow margin of 34 votes.
Concert Review
Though they were born generations apart, there are many similarities between the music of fellow long-hairs Kurt Vile and Thurston Moore. Their emphasis on lyrics and lo-fi production make them perfect tour partners. To the delight of their fans, the two have joined up once again after a summer of joint touring to promote their latest albums.
The men's track and field team notched solid performances and personal bests across the board en route to winning the Tufts Invitational Stampede, hosted this weekend at the Gantcher Center. The squad tallied 125 points, well ahead of UMass Dartmouth's 87.
