You may know me, or rather my photographs, from “Tufts on 35mm” or post-Halloween pumpkins. Although I’m sorely disappointed that I won’t be able to bring photos of Tufts’ ambiguous architectural identity to the Daily this semester, hopefully photos from my time studying abroad with Tufts in Madrid will suffice. Through this column, I’ll be producing photo stories live (give or take a few weeks) from my adventures throughout the semester, whether the various balcony views around Madrid or grand travels across the continent.
The Department of Education released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Jan. 29, announcing its intention to restructure the student loan system in an attempt to lower the cost of higher education.

Rooting for the United States, whether it be in the Olympics, the World Cup or any other sporting event, almost always leads me to some degree of internal confusion. Sure, I’m as much of a red-blooded American as the next guy, but it’s often difficult to reconcile the instinct to root for the home team with the knowledge that its banner — so often touted as that of the ‘good guys’ — is emblematic of a nation flawed at its core.

Two Medford residents have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to strike down the city’s newly enacted Values-Aligned Local Investments Ordinance, which requires the city to divest public funds from companies involved in weapons manufacturing, fossil fuels, private prisons and entities accused of human rights violations. The lawsuit sets up a legal and political battle over the limits of municipal authority and the role of local government in international affairs.
Welcome back to “Serve & Survey.” This week’s question came from a movie night watching Disney’s “Inside Out 2.” In the movie, a group of animated emotions fight for control, but, in the end, they learn that they are all needed to make Riley who she is.
