Last season was quite a rollercoaster ride for Syracuse and its fans. Expectations were high as point guard Gerry McNamara, the last significant remaining player from the 2003 national championship team, entered his last season with the Orange. The team failed to meet those lofty goals, suffering bouts of inconsistency in between flashes of brilliance.
At the Aidekman Arts Center yesterday, artist Steve Mumford spoke about his travels to Iraq during combat and the struggle to create art in a war zone. Mumford, a 1987 graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University's five-year dual degree program, currently has the work he produced during his stay in the Middle East on view in the Koppleman Gallery exhibit entitled, "Baghdad and Beyond: Drawings by Steve Mumford."
This past weekend, Bill Murray proved to the world that one can never be too big a star to pick up a pretty young thing in a foreign country and spend a wild night chugging vodka and doing household chores at a roaring college party. "Lost in Translation" comparisons aside (we get it: life imitates art - very funny), it warmed our hearts to see a celebrity like Bill drinking alcohol straight from a coffee mug and offering to help with the dishes at a St. Andrews house party on Saturday. But Bill had plenty of inspiration, as Hollywood and housework have always enjoyed a rather cozy relationship. This week, the Daily looks at the serving stars who paved the way for Bill's domesticity.
Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey needed a miracle in last night's final televised debate between the canidates for the Nov. 7 Massachusetts gubernatorial election.
For as long as I can remember, Halloween has been my third favorite holiday behind Christmas and the Red Sox home opener.
Sex is everywhere. You can't avoid it. Whether from watching teen-flicks or walking in on students in Carmichael's lounge, we're all familiar with the gist of what happens during intercourse.
I met Ed Harris at the Four Seasons in Boston recently to talk about his newest film, "Copying Beethoven." For Harris, this movie continues his recent trend of playing complex, technically difficult roles in interesting, artistically provocative productions.
An informal debate took place last night during the first of a new monthly series of joint events hosted by both the Tufts Republicans and the Tufts Democrats.
What if Tufts were to introduce a sixth distribution requirement: religion?
Instating a salary cap in the NHL was supposed to yield parity in the league. It has seemed to help, but there's one peculiar trend: one conference is completely overshadowing the other.
Last week, visitors to the popular Web portal Yahoo! watched in awe of their featured internet video: an advertisement from the ONE campaign, an activist organization whose causes include fighting AIDS and poverty. The video, currently housed at YouTube.com, features a camera rolling by a line of people waiting to vote - a line that includes celebrities such as George Clooney, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts.
In speeches and his biography, Bill Clinton makes a point of saying that he decided to commit himself to politics when he met his hero, John F. Kennedy, at the White House.
Nobel-Prize-winning Professor George A. Akerlof delivered the second part of this year's Wellington-Burnham Lecture and Domestic Policy Forum, titled "Economics and Identity," in Barnum 008 last night to a crowd of over 120 students and teachers.
There is nothing more natural, more constant and basic than our five senses. They define our reality, influencing how we feel, how we think, and how we live. In our modern age, there is such a brutal influx of technology that the senses, while always present, get muddled, confused and reconfigured until what we consider reality becomes a philosophical question without a truly defined answer. For the MIT List Visual Arts Center, reconciling the collision of natural senses and technology is of utmost concern.
It's been a tough couple of weeks for the football team.
As anyone with brothers or sisters can attest, sibling rivalry almost always plays into the family dynamic. It is not unusual to find siblings participating in similar activities from childhood through high school, especially when it comes to athletics.
So apparently I've become the Jack Kevorkian of Daily sports columnists. I've unintentionally killed the last two elder sports legends I've written about. Sure, they were on their way out, but still, creepy. So this week, I'm not talking about anyone who's even close to kicking the bucket. You're welcome, George Steinbrenner, because believe me, the thought ran through my head.
Students will be able to register for Experimental College courses using Student Information System (SIS) starting next semester.
