On Monday, 33 people were killed by firearms in a tragic day at Virginia Tech. There are no words that can describe what the family and friends of those people must be feeling at this time.

This afternoon I went to Eaton Hall to work on a few things. The room was crowded. I sat next to a girl who seemed to be really concentrating and working hard.

Scanning through the channels hopelessly, I suddenly come to the realization that when you want to find something good on TV, little demons of irony fly up into the room and mess with the cable box so that nothing works except basic cable. Conversely, when you have absolutely zero time to watch TV, the movie you've been dying to see is on.
Yesterday, I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken. It was the first time I'd seen one in Paris and I was strangely drawn to it. For anyone who knows me well, this would be a surprise, as I haven't eaten at KFC in over 12 years and profess an ardent hatred for the place.

While many Jumbos were lying on beaches or vacationing over spring break, nine Tufts students were traveling for a very different reason.
Anyone who wanders around the upstairs of the campus center looking for a place to study might have noticed the large, rectangular blue and yellow sticker on the door of the Tufts Election Commission office boldly announcing, "Adam Weldai, Malden School Council, Ward 5."
Tufts should be proud of the approximately 100 Jumbos who showed up on the Res Quad this weekend to rally for drastic reductions in American carbon emissions as part of the national Step It Up campaign.
