Ahh, college: a time to get away from the choke-hold parents have on every aspect of student life, from parental permission slips to Parent-Teacher night to report cards. The relationship between students' parents and their instructors was important, maybe even overwhelming. But all that changes after high school graduation, right?
The Tufts Alliance for the Advancement of Mothers (TAAM) began circulating a petition earlier this month requesting on-campus housing in which Tufts students who are mothers can live with their children.
By the time this is read, Valentine's Day will be over.
When borrowing money for college, who should you trust to recommend a good lender - your university, or the United States government?
So what's the big deal about "The Vagina Monologues" anyway? Wait ... what? Vaginas? I can't tell you how many baffled looks I've received when talking about the one activity that has taken up all my time for the past seven months: "The Vagina Monologues" and the V-Day campaign. I'd like to set things straight about Eve Ensler's widely popular, yet controversial play and why we continue to organize and perform it every year at Tufts.
Every year, Tufts students put on a production of "The Vagina Monologues" organized by an independent student group working through the Women's Center.
The next time you pass by the library steps, you may notice some rather disturbing posters hanging around campus.

Tufts freshman Lily Diana Karian was found dead in her room in Bush Hall in the earlymorning hours of Dec. 12. It appeared that she committed suicide, Dean of Student Affairs Bruce Reitman wrote in an e-mail to the Tufts community.
Imagine sitting in a 12-by-15-foot bedroom with a dozen fellow college freshmen, half-empty beer cans poured into plastic red cups arranged in geometric patterns on a long table - sound familiar? There is a knock at the door. Upon opening it, you discover that it is not your overly strict RA, your creepy hallmate or an unwelcome party guest, but an even more daunting force: your mother. You are not at Tufts, and you don't need a fob to get into your house: It's winter break.
Tomorrow is International AIDS Awareness Day. The theme this year is accountability. Those of us who attended this summer's International AIDS Conference in Toronto heard a good deal of discussion about accountability which we're anxious to share and which, clearly, is of interest to fellow Tufts students. Again and again we're asked, "What can I do?"
While the Islamic Republic of Iran is a nation most often in the news for uneasy political relations with the West, the complexities of modern Iran go far beyond Iranian leaders shaking their fists at public rallies. The Thirteenth Annual Boston Festival of Films from Iran, playing at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston until Dec. 3, seeks to explore the human side of Iranians today, allowing artists to shed light on the contemporary Iranian experience and Iranian outlooks.
What if a person's life was so boring that the only interesting thing that can be written about him is how he died? Unfortunate IRS agent Harold Crick is just that person: no dreams, no aspirations and no real problems. But that, of course, is a brilliant premise for a modern fiction novel - at least, that's what novelist Kay Eiffel thinks. There is, however, one catch: Harold Crick isn't just a character in one of Eiffel's books; he's a flesh-and-blood guy who can hear the narration of his story as Eiffel pens it, and Crick doesn't like what he hears. So goes "Stranger than Fiction," the latest release from director Marc Forster, the man behind acclaimed projects such as 2001's "Monster's Ball" and 2004's "Finding Neverland."
The Tufts' study abroad booklet abounds with bold and colorful images, from historical Oxford on one page to haute-couture Paris on the next. It's no secret that Tufts is a huge school internationally - last year Newsweek rated it "Hottest School for Studying Abroad," reporting that 40 percent of juniors spend time studying in another country. But while some may choose to culture themselves around the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe, others are immersing themselves in a far different - and sometimes trying - experience.
Though it is true that the days of Led Zeppelin and KISS, hair bands and rock 'n' roll gods are gone, the pop music canon is still full of Rock Stars. Some of this is the artists' doing.
Open any health magazine and it becomes obvious that body image is a prevalent source of distress in America. But despite the enormous amount of attention given to body image problems, one expanding societal phenomenon is often ignored: the male quest for the "perfect body." As our society continues to normalize body weights that push the boundaries of being healthy, men are joining in on the race for physical perfection, and Tufts men are no exception.
In an unprecedented day of joy and pride for all Bengalis out there, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee decided to award the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Corporation for working to eliminate the roots of poverty using the novel micro-credit technique.

Midterms are in full-swing, the days are getting shorter, and winter break is still nine weeks away. College students have plenty of reasons to be depressed - and according to many recent studies, there has been a steady and significant increase in depression on college campuses throughout the nation.
