At Tufts, it's common to see students dedicating a large part of their afternoons, evenings and sometimes dawns to their extracurricular activities. For every one of your friends that is a Tisch Reading Room devotee, there is an equally enthusiastic LCS tutor or Class Council member. (0) comments
If you think that techno is a dead letter today, nearly as dated as a circa-1999 Ricky Martin ditty, you're more than a tad off-base. Sure, hip-hop rules the airwaves and many nightclubs, but the sounds of techno and trance still reign at many nocturnal spots. (0) comments
The Ritz-Carlton hotel is not a place I frequent, so my apprehension over entering this luxurious hotel for the first time ever was understandable. That uncertainty grew even more because I was interviewing the two most important people from the upcoming Lions Gate release, "Akeelah and the Bee": director/screenwriter Doug Atchison and lead actor Keke Palmer.

Before I even make my point this week (if I even make one), I have to tell you a story that was too funny to leave out. If I had the time to change the whole column around it, I would have. My roommate taught me an important lesson this week - Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) will respond to drunken e-mails - thereby opening up a whole new realm of possibilities for activities to do drunk while waiting for Domino's to deliver at 3 a.

The Daily finally gets classy this week with its lookalike. One of senior Andrew Margules' pals eagerly e-mailed us to let us know that she and her friends had made an amazing discovery: their buddy looked just like the Austrian composer Franz Schubert! We scoured the Internet for photos of Schubby but, unfortunately, he died in 1823 - all we could find were oil paintings! Luckily, Andrew didn't have to sit for a portrait - the Daily's office, while rudimentary, at least has digital camera capability. (0) comments
For those of you who are freshmen from out-of-state, let us explain something to you: You chose correctly in coming to a college in Boston, because here in Massachusetts, we get an extra arbitrary three-day weekend. Called "Patriots' Day," the holiday is nominally some kind of America-love occasion. (0) comments
