In recent months, Davis Square has been a frenzy of new construction and modernization. The intent is to usher in a new wave of transformation for Somerville and to maintain its positive momentum by continuing to develop, according to the Web site of the Davis Area Resident Business Initiative committee (DARBI), which is overseeing the process.
In 1997, the NCAA Div. III Committee changed the selection process for national championships, largely in response to the concerns of historically weaker programs and conferences that the national tournaments were too exclusive and rewarded teams for past performance.
In the wake of Blink-182, the world seems a bit lost as to in what direction pop-punk is supposed to go. The former Blink members - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker - have all found new groups, but as of yet, none have come close to filling the void left by their former '90s juggernaut.
This is the second article in a series examining the current state of Div. III athletics.
No food was served on campus until 5 p.m. yesterday, but a new study suggests that, after Thanksgiving, college students could stand to skip a meal.
Last week, I opened up the China Daily to discover on the front page of the business section one of the most terrifying headlines I can imagine in a Chinese newspaper. No need to head for your bomb shelter: It's nothing so dramatic; it simply read, "Demand for autos moves into high gear: Nation's auto industry set to become world's biggest within 10-15 years."
After its pre-Thanksgiving 73-56 victory over Western New England on Tuesday, the women's basketball team took a three-day break from the court, which gave the players just enough time to nurse their physical and mental soreness - but not enough to get rusty before tomorrow's match-up with Babson.
Supposedly, if you tell people your birthday wish, it won't come true. Well, on my 19th birthday, I'm compelled to tell you my wishes.
Every year near Valentine's Day, Tufts Voices for Choice (VOX) hosts "The Vagina Monologues," a play intended to bring more women into discussions about their bodies and sexuality. VOX also throws "Vulvapalooza" on so-called "V-Day" as a fundraiser and as a way of raising awareness.
I think I've fallen in love with noodle girl #0110. It's not her palindromic ID number that's so attractive, nor is it the teal apron she wears over her starched-white uniform. No, what turns me on is the way she doles out justice with every ladleful of Shanxi-style cut noodles.
The hockey team notched its first win of the season last Tuesday with a 4-1 win over a previously undefeated Southern New Hampshire team in Manchester. The non-league win prompted a collective sigh of relief from the roster and gave the now 1-2 Jumbos a spurt of confidence early in the season.
It was a tale of two halves.
With the men's and women's soccer finals taking place yesterday, five of the six Div. III NCAA Tournaments have handed out their hardware. Only football, in which NESCAC bylaws prohibit league teams from competing, is still in action.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many of us are eagerly looking forward to indulging ourselves silly at this classic American feast of bounty. Of course, we must also be wary and keep in mind the old adage, "All is best in moderation." While I would normally rally to the call of such sage wisdom, I must concede that all caution can be heartily defenestrated in a certain situation. That situation is when you are in the presence of pie.
Trustee and Engineering graduate Norman Silverman (A'58) passed away on Saturday after a long struggle with leukemia. He was 70.
Following yesterday's news item about ESPN coverage on-campus, University Information Technology (UIT) contacted the Daily about future plans for more consistent ESPN service but also noted an inaccuracy in the coverage.
Before we move any further, let's observe a moment of silence for another Philadelphia team that will not win a title. Donovan McNabb is gone for the season and the Eagles are stuck with Jeff Garcia.
For the men's squash team, last year's final record of 11-12 is something the Jumbos would prefer to forget. This time around, they began their season on the right foot - three games into the season, they were above .500, sitting at 2-1. Unfortunately for the Tufts squad, a loss later in the weekend dropped the team to 2-2.
