Michael Waldman, President Clinton's former Director of Speechwriting, will make an appearance on campus tonight in an event sponsored by Lecture Series. Waldman will be giving a speech entitled "Presidential Election 2000: An insider's look at how the White House works and how it will be won in the year 2000."
The one certainty about the women's softball lineup this year is that keeping a scorecard won't be easy. After losing two-year centerfielder Carrie Hironaka and four-year shortstop Cora Thompson to graduation, coach Kris Herman is going to have to use her team's versatility, and a little creativity, to fill the positions each game.
If you've seen VH1 at all in the past month, it seems that you can't watch it for five minutes without seeing a commercial or self-promotion for their TV movie Two of Us. Based on a rumored unannounced visit that Paul McCartney made to John Lennon's New York City apartment in 1976, six years after the Beatles broke up, the script takes on the eternal question of historians, fans, and musicians alike: "What if...?"
With just a couple of weeks left in the NBA's regular season, tensions are running high among the league's playoff-bound teams. The testosterone escalated on Sunday in Los Angeles, when Chris Childs of the New York Knicks and the Lakers' Kobe Bryant went at it. The altercation was certainly not a first for New York against teams coached by former Knick Phil Jackson.
The women's basketball team jumped to an early lead and never relinquished control Saturday, defeating the Hamilton College Continentals by a 77-61 margin. The win bumped the Jumbos' record up to 10-5 on the season, while dropping the Continentals to 3-14.
WATERVILLE, ME - In a season filled with dramatic finishes, the men's basketball team saved its best for last, capturing the ECAC Championship with a thrilling, 74-73 overtime victory at Colby yesterday. As has happened in seemingly every important game, Tufts made critical plays at crunch time to pull out a victory.
It may be the heart of spring and the beginning of the baseball season, but America still loves the NFL. While Major League Baseball teams are trying to entice fans to the ballpark through opening day ceremonies and new ballpark openings, the NFL is living off the excitement being created by the upcoming draft and major trades.
Tufts students, along with residents nationwide, will be receiving forms soon for the US Census as the federal government attempts to calculate the country's population and demographic make-up. Forms should be in student mailboxes next Monday and Tuesday, and students will be expected to return the forms by that Friday.
I have been struggling with an eating disorder, anorexia, for quite some time. Through a long process of "refeeding," group support, the strength of family and friends, and an introduction to the real issues covered up when I focused on food and calories, I have slowly but surely come to life again. On a physical level, this recovery means weight gain, but there is so much more! I can now be fully present and interact in relationships. I can think clearly. I have the energy to make it through the day. I am not freezing cold all the time. I can ask for, accept, and give love and support. I am able to think about others and what is going on in my life. Every day I discover more and greater benefits of recovery from my eating disorder.
The following article was run in the March 1, 2015 issue of Entertainment Weekly...
The ART? The Wang? The Charles Playhouse? The Schubert? How about the Wilbur? The Colonial. Trinity Rep. The Boston Center for the Arts. The Back Alley Theater. The Emerson Majestic. The Peabody Co-op. The Hasty Pudding. The Robsham Theater at BC. The Balch Arena Theater...
She shouted the absurd non-sequitur at the top her lungs into the large microphone: "I'm Armenian!" After performing a frenetic stage dance and momentarily lifting her shirt to the masses, the nameless young Tufts student made sure that everyone knew her roots. The silly comment made little sense to the thousand-plus who came to Spring Fling, but the crowd was having too good of a time to let her words' absurdity bother it. Concert goers arrived at the President's lawn expecting some entertainment. They got what they had hoped for and then some.
University President John DiBiaggio held an open talk with faculty members to discuss the University College of Citizenship and Public Service (UCCPS),its role at Tufts, and how eBay founder Pierre Omidyar's recent $10 million grant will be incorporated into the program.
Love will be in the air this Friday night at a Valentine's Day Benefit Dance organized by members of the Tufts Feminist Alliance. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Transition House, a battered women's shelter which provides services to victims of domestic violence.
I just finished talking on Instant Messenger with a friend who has a situation similar to mine. He wants to be in the field of communications, he's not sure where in the field, and he feels completely unprepared for the real world. Not a surprise, right? Every senior feels that way. The thing is, communications people at this school are repeatedly left out in the cold, because there is no communications major. This is understandable, as Tufts has neither the room nor the facilities to create a major or a communications school. The fact is, though, that an increasing number of people are graduating this liberal arts institution and rejecting the idea of consulting and banking, and instead opting, at least for a few years, to do something like film, television, or journalism.
Sophomore goalie Ian Kell of the Tufts hockey team was named ECAC Northeast goaltender of the week on Tuesday, after leading his team to a 4-3 decision over Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania last Saturday.
As darkness fell on the Avalon last Wednesday night, a crowd very unlike the club's regulars began to assemble outside on Lansdowne Street. These were not techno- or hip-hop-loving dancers clad in designer clothing, but rather a collection of rather stereotypical metal heads. Dressed in black and sporting countless piercings, they lined up for blocks, patiently waiting for the club's doors to open at 7 p.m. Sno Core 2000 had arrived in Boston.
In the first 20 minutes of Chris Hanson's new movie Wonder Boys, a cute little dog gets shot, a rare Marilyn Monroe jacket gets stolen, and we meet a six-and-a-half foot tuba-playing transvestite - all are early indications that Wonder Boys is something fresh. However, if you strip away the wacky exterior, we are left with the typical old story about a misguided man who finds direction with help from a group of quirky characters. That is not to say Wonder Boys isn't entertaining - it is well acted and, at times, very funny, plus there are enough off-the-wall moments to make you forget that you've heard the story countless times before.
The US Attorney's office filed criminal charges on Wednesday against Ikenna Iffih, a computer science student at Northeastern University.
