Besides just a passion for their respective fields of expertise, most Tufts professors also share a status as published authors. Michael Fournier, the Tufts lecturer who teaches the popular "History of Punk Rock" class in the Experimental College, is joining these ranks with the release of his book, "Double Nickels on the Dime," an intriguing, comical insight on the stories behind the 45 tracks on Southern Californian band the Minutemen's record of the same name. Detailing the heroic tales of the D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) punk band, this read is sure to be more enjoyable than 400 pages on the molecular composition of your toe or 18th century French literature.

There are a few types of appointments that can really put a damper on a given week. One of those would be an appointment to get something amputated ... huge downer. Luckily for me, I have all of my appendages - but I had an appointment this week that is a close second to losing a limb: a dentist appointment.
I agree with the Daily editorial board that EPIIC's most controversial panel, featuring Dow Chemical's CEO and Tufts Trustee Andrew Liveris, was a good learning experience. However, constructive dialogue depends on honesty by all participants, and CEOs of the most ethical corporations cannot be fully honest, at some level, in order to protect shareholder value.
