The members of the men's cross country team battled dust, dirt and unusually warm weather as they took on stiff competition at Open New England Championships at Franklin Park in Boston.
Randy Moss is the most talented wide receiver in the history of football. That's right, I said it. I'll go even further. Even with the tumultuous seasons in Oakland, he still has the potential to be the greatest receiver ever. Yes, better than Jerry Rice.
With a month of NFL action in the books, the league's elite teams have already completed their rise to the top. It's obvious that the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots are the cream of the crop in the AFC again, but the situation in the NFC is much more interesting.
The world of electronica is gaining popularity amongst nearly all demographics, though this phenomenon is not widely acknowledged. Artists dating back to the early '80s, such as Laurie Anderson, have been experimenting with computerized sounds and loops in many different ways, such as Anderson did on her 1982 hit "O Superman."
For anyone who bought a Windows-based computer this summer - including the hundreds of freshmen who purchased new laptops for school - it probably came with Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista, or at least an available upgrade from it's predecessor, Windows XP.
Can you smell what The Rock - sorry, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - is cooking?
In the wake of last spring's series of sexual assaults near campus, the university has unveiled a new program aimed at identifying unhealthy sexual practices and relationships and providing solutions.
For the football team, tomorrow afternoon has exactly the same meaning it does for the rest of the Tufts community: It's time to come home.
Acclaimed biologist Lynn Margulis presented her once-divisive theories about evolutionary biology and gave her personal rendition of the history of primitive evolution at yesterday's Richard E. Synder Presidential Lecture.
At 8:00 p.m. last Wednesday night, ABC gave America the best bedtime story in years. "Pushing Daisies" is an original series that places an old-time, Macbeth-like story (asking the dead to figure out who killed them) within a world of beautiful colors, whimsical characters, murder mysteries, morgues and lots and lots of pie.
Sandy Berger, national security advisor to former President Bill Clinton, was the guest yesterday in "Decision '08," a senior political science seminar that is tracking in detail the race for the 2008 presidential nominations. Taught by Alan Solomont, the course meets once per week and is led by small groups of student presenters who brief the class on a specific topic with the help and input of a high-profile guest. Yesterday's topic, "Foreign Policy and National Security," took advantage of Berger's experience on the Clinton foreign policy team. See page 3 for full story.
What is it about stealing food from the dining halls that's so exhilarating? It's not just a sport for kleptos (and believe me, it is a sport), because everyone does it. And the chances are pretty slim that everyone at Tufts is a kleptomaniac.
Almost a year after its official launch, Beyond Boundaries, Tufts' ongoing capital campaign, is well on the way to reaching its goal.
Back in high school, I stopped eating meat: no red meat, no pork products, no poultry and no seafood (which I hadn't ever eaten anyway). It started out simply; I love animals, and that seemed reason enough for me.

I was recently perusing a list of NBA arrests online (because that's the kind of thing I do in my free time).
El Presidente! Yes, that's right. This week we dared to venture past the imposingly Roman-esque Ballou Hall (that's the one next to Barnum. No, no, not the chapel, you've gone too far. Back up. A little more. Right there) and emerged with President Lawrence Bacow's predictions for the coming week. Yes, we faked the unfakeable retinal scan and broke the unbreakable swipe code. We're just that good.
"What you have to remember," former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger said to the students sitting around the table with him, "is that 9/11 changed everything."
For the past month, my Aunt Betsy has been hiking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that runs across northern Spain from the French border to the Atlantic Ocean. Since the ninth century, pilgrims (and more recently, avid hikers) have been walking "The Camino" to pay their respects to Saint James, test their physical fitness or find meaning in their lives.
