Weekender Feature | Albert Berger tells how he went from Hill Hall to Hollywood

"Avenue Q," the musical which features puppets who use profane language and engage in sexual acts, also boasts a musical number entitled, "What do you do with a B.A. in English?"

A fairly modest proposal

Upon reading the Nov. 5 Features article, "Revamped citizenship deemphasizes trivia in favor of current politics - to mixed reviews" by Marisa Carberry, I was surprised at the reactions of the students quoted in the piece. Several students, it seemed, claimed that because the average Tufts student passed the U.S. citizenship test by only one question, the test is too hard. I would propose an alternative interpretation of this little datum: The average Tufts student is unfit to be a citizen of the United States of America.

A case for God

In the midst of the religious wars of today, it seems that we are overlooking a key player. While the religious right vies for control of U.S. policy, liberal sects try to reclaim Christianity and Zionists tee off against Muslims over the Palestinian state, atheism seeks to dominate the intellectual and philosophical battlefield.

Concert Preview | 'Giants Tour's' pop-rock hits the Palladium

The Academy Is is not quite a band that has found its way into everyone's music dictionary. It hasn't even made it "big" yet, spending most of the summer as the opening act for pop-emo-punk giant Fall Out Boy. In fact, the name of the band's headlining fall tour, the "Sleeping with Giants Tour," perfectly describes the band's ascent to relative popularity.
