On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Jake Wilson was elected mayor of Somerville, earning 54.26% of the vote over Willie Burnley Jr. Voters also weighed in on three Somerville ballot questions — all of which passed — as well as a number of city council and school committee races.
When I was making my restaurant lineup for Parents’ Weekend, one task felt particularly daunting: finding the perfect brunch spot. I wanted something cozy and classic but still interesting — somewhere I could force someone to share a sweet and a savory dish with me so that I could get the best of both worlds. After scrolling through enough Google reviews to qualify as research, I landed on Rosebud Bar & Kitchen, a Davis Square classic that’s been reborn in recent years with a new twist.
Jonathan Tisch, family donated $1.3 million to anti-Mamdani super PAC in NYC mayoral election: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
New York City’s recent mayoral race, which ended Tuesday, drew attention across the country — including from the Tisch family, one of Tufts’ biggest donors. Over the past six months, the family contributed over $1.3 million to Fix the City, a super PAC focused on opposing the mayoral candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who ultimately won the election.
Tufts students tend to stay in their bubble, choosing to remain within the borders of their own campus rather than explore the Greater Boston area. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is where your next live music adventure can come to life, and it is only about a 40-minute trip from Tufts to Symphony Hall. Many of us are not very familiar with the classical music scene because it is not typically presented as an activity worth attending, but I would advise you to give it a chance. Most of us already enjoy classical music; the lovely violin sounds heard in movies and during holidays such as Christmas come from composers like John Williams and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, whose music is performed by orchestras like the BSO. Even though going to the symphony may feel intimidating at first, it is genuinely fun to hear beautiful music that spans centuries.

My mom and I share a love of Indigenous history and a good hike. Thus, when my grandmother recommended Bandelier National Monument as a stop on our road trip, we both jumped at the chance. Located near Los Alamos, N.M., Bandelier is home to ancient Pueblo ruins. When we arrived, we were both ready to get our hiking boots on. However, the second we got to the park, I knew something was wrong.
TCU Senate discusses Ginn Library access, tenured faculty member reviews in November meeting: Your Tufts Daily Weekly Roundup
SMFA first-years to observe, not participate in review boards as part of new pilot program: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Victor “Wemby” Wembanyama is changing the way I view basketball.
While they have a relatively small following on campus, make no mistake: Tufts Mood Psychology is changing the media scene. This completely student-run organization focuses on making documentaries (in both English and Chinese) that connect the real lives of students to important psychological concepts. Episodes from their latest series, “Flash in My Life,” are screened in Barnum Hall regularly.
Senators discussed undergraduate access to the Ginn Library at The Fletcher School, reviews of tenured faculty members and funding requests, among other items, at the Tufts Community Union Senate’s meeting on Sunday.
Faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University voted over the summer to implement a pilot program that changes how first-years participate in the school’s review board process, making them observers rather than recipients of feedback.
Besides its claim to the title of second coldest capital city in the world, Astana, Kazakhstan is renowned for its architecture — in fact, mentions of the city are always accompanied by reference to its futuristic architectural style. After 17 hours of pacing, playing cards, intermittent sleep on a stiff fold-down bed and watching the low hills of the Kazakh Steppe race by the train window, I was prepared to be unimpressed by the city of Astana. Yet, even bleary-eyed and weakly shuffling after our tour guide, the sleek, fantastical skyline of Astana throttled me into amazement.
Printmaking dates back to the Tang Dynasty in China, where it was primarily used for Buddhist texts and illustrations. It then spread widely throughout Asia, notably reaching Japan in the seventh century. Traditionally, Japanese printmakers used mokuhanga, a woodblock printing technique — “moku” meaning wood and “hanga” meaning print. In mokuhanga, a traditional bamboo hand tool called a baren is used to press the ink onto the paper.
Students respond to new policy on cannon repainting: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Coming off a steamrolling 41–20 win against Williams last week, Tufts football looked like it had settled into its groove against its fellow NESCAC opponents. However, Tufts came up short against Colby on Saturday.
Tufts’ recent policy for painting the cannon — the site of a longtime Tufts tradition — has drawn student criticism since its implementation. As of this year, the university now paints the cannon gray every Thursday, along with periodic cleanings. According to Tufts, the shift was made to quell student fears about painting over other groups’ messages, while some students argue that the new regulations limit their free speech on campus.
