After a full semester in Madrid, junior Mara Sacks had become pretty confident in her command of Spanish - but what she heard crackling through the radio on the evening of Dec. 30, 2006 required her full attention.
There was a time - before Google, Facebook.com or Youtube.com - when students did research from library books, scribbled letters to their friends and wrote essays on their typewriters.
It was a week of milestones for the hockey team.
So imagine this: you're running late, doing the skip-a-step sprint up the library stairs headed toward your language class - you know, that one where there are few enough people that everyone is placing bets on when you'll arrive. Then it happens. Just as you are speed walking through the quad, confident that you'll arrive in no time, there is the "stop and chat" sighting: that cute guy/girl that you have been waiting forever to ask out.
Perhaps no one in the history of cinema is so closely tied to one iconic character as Sylvester Stallone. He secured his legacy by writing and starring in the Academy Award winning movie "Rocky" (1976).

College students have always been known for political activism and interest. But according to a recent study, nationwide, the Class of 2010 will do more than just carry on the tradition. They have been found to be even more politically aware, vocal, and polarized than freshmen of the previous two decades.
A great way to start off the weekend has returned to the USA Network. The fifth season of the popular cable television series "Monk" returns with a fresh and intriguing "Mr. Monk Makes a Friend" episode on Friday at 9 p.m. An episode about a man making a friend may not sound too exciting. If this man is a hilariously obsessive-compulsive (but wildly brilliant) detective, however, and this suspicious new friend is the first he has ever had, then a solid, entertaining episode emerges.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright will deliver the 2007 Issam M. Fares Lecture at Tufts, the Office of Public Relations told the Daily on Friday.
You don't need to know anything about Sloan to see why they named their latest album "Never Hear the End of It," containing an amazing 30 tracks and 74 minutes of nonstop pop rock. This monster album takes weeks for one to fully absorb and appreciate and as one of the first releases of 2007, it certainly sets a high standard for what's to come this year.
