Halfway through April, some players have been performing unusually well, while others have faltered from the stats they've put up in previous seasons. A look at whether these early-season numbers are flukes or actual trends:
Students selected next year's Programming Board representatives in an election yesterday that was delayed by a technological hitch.
I was surprised by Matthew Ladner's narrow treatment of the Jeremiah Wright controversy and his failure to penetrate beyond an incomplete interpretation of the debate in his piece ("An unholy relationship," April 7). Though I want to make my opposition to Wright's words clear, I also think that Mr. Ladner's treatment of the situation was one-sided and less than thorough.
"With the 26th pick in the 2003 NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select Ndudi Ebi."
This article is the first in a two-part series examining students who pursue a combined degree while at Tufts. The first installment will take a look at the experience of juggling courses at multiple schools; the second will discuss friction between students at Tufts and its partner schools.
Sudanese refugees recounted their tales of exodus during the Second Sudanese Civil War at a dinner and discussion last night at Hillel.
The newly elected 2008-2009 Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate nominated three candidates last night for this month's presidential election.
When Alberto González stepped in for injured Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter on Sunday night, it made us think: What an unfortunate name. Still, having the same name as the disgraced former attorney general is nothing compared to the plights of these 10 athletes with some of the most unfortunate names in sports.
After earning both first- and second-place finishes in their first two meets of the outdoor season, the men's track and field team continued its push toward the all-important NESCAC Championship meet by posting a slew of impressive performances this past weekend at the Bernard Solomon Invitational at Northeastern.
When freshman swimmer Joe Lessard received a letter of rejection from Dartmouth College after applying early decision, he expected to join a hugely competitive pool of students applying regular decision to some of the nation's best colleges, including Tufts.
Tufts is, by most accounts, a statistically sound institution. This year, we rejected three of every four applicants from a record-setting pool, extending acceptances to an elite group with a mean SAT well into the 1400s. And while we often criticize Tufts for its stinginess, our endowment has recently benefited from historically large gifts and will soon reach a robust $2 billion. Surely there is no denying that Tufts has done well for itself lately - to unprecedented extents.
Students will have the opportunity to share their views with the Task Force on Freedom of Expression during today's open meeting in Hotung Café at noon.
Former NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw moderated a panel of experts seeking to untangle the news media's rapidly changing role in American politics during the third annual Edward R. Murrow Forum on Issues in Journalism yesterday.
The Black Keys have quickly come to be known as a member of the elite duo of lo-fi blues-rock duos. Together with the White Stripes, they've proven that an electric guitar and a drum set can rock even harder than what is traditionally known as a "full band."
In the opening weeks of the 2007 season, sophomore Christy Tinker looked like the Jumbos' breakout rookie. She was batting .500 coming back from a spring break trip to California, and with three home runs, she looked capable of leading a resurgence of power hitting, which had historically been a Tufts trademark but had taken a back seat to small-ball tactics in recent seasons.
55 percent - I greatly oppose it; it will discourage students from calling TEMS in cases where they are unsure if a friend needs help.
Local Celtic punk band the Dropkick Murphys will headline this month's Spring Fling concert, Concert Board has announced.
Over spring break, while her friends were lounging pool-side in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico, Tufts senior Katie Winter was holed up in her Medford apartment, working on her honors thesis and watching Lifetime movies in her pajamas.
Associate Professor of Geology Robert Reuss will receive the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate's annual professor of the year award, which for the first time will be named in honor of Gerald Gill, the recently deceased history professor.
