In recognition of my housemate Elena's new favorite actor, Tony Jaa, today's Campus Cooking will take a brief but delicious journey to Southeast Asia.
Guess what kids? Next Tuesday is Halloween! That means free candy, a weekend full of crowded parties and creative costumes!
On Oct. 17, 2006, British grime MC Lady Sovereign made history when her video for "Love Me or Hate Me" reached No. 1 on MTV's Total Request Live (TRL). Whether or not hitting No. 1 on TRL is any indication of musical talent or virtuosity, one has to applaud Sov for good timing. With just one week left before the release of her first full-length, "Public Warning," on Def Jam Records, there couldn't have been a better time for her to become the first British artist to top MTV's chart.
Attempts at establishing a community between professors and students may be stymied by Tufts' metro location, limited gathering space, and the busy schedules of professors, Tufts faculty members told Tufts deans.
Adjunct Professor of Public Health at the Medical School and global health consultant Barry Levy delivered a lecture at the Fletcher School yesterday on the impact of conflict on health.
Tufts campus has never been easy to traverse on an icy winter day, as it sits on a hill. But if the trek up Walnut Hill seems onerous on foot, imagine what it would be like for one of the 21.2 million Americans the U.S. Census Bureau lists as having physical disabilities that limit basic activities such as walking or climbing stairs.
Assistant Anthropology Professor Sarah Pinto shared her experiences interviewing people in northern India on their perceptions of the phenomenon of birth as part of the Women's Studies Research Colloquium speech series last night.
The Seven on Seven house threw its first successful party this weekend. Things went so well that I don't have anything to write for this week's column. No cops came, nothing serious broke, no one stole anything noticeable, and no gorillas. It was a night so uneventful that no paper-worthy events came from it - well, none that can be printed if I still want to have friends on Thursday.
"English? My parents would never let me spend $40,000 a year on an English major."
I was disheartened to see the article "A right price for Tufts dorms" in the Tufts Daily on Wednesday, Oct. 11. While Dean Reitman's sentiments reassure me that Tufts probably will not establish a new, tier-priced system in the near future, the attitude of some students is slightly alarming.
Just in time for Oscar season, Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" offers a unique perspective on the teen queen's lavish lifestyle on the eve of the French revolution. The movie follows the notorious Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) from her early arranged marriage to Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman) to the demise of the absolute monarchy in France.
Hosting its 15th annual Open House this past Sunday at Symphony Hall, the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) celebrated its 125th birthday in style. Featuring fun activities for children, BSO performances, community musicians and student ensembles, the free event brought together Bostonians and music enthusiasts alike to kick off another exciting season for the orchestra.
During Game 2 of the World Series Sunday night, a scandal broke out as Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers was accused of having "a noticeable dirt mark of some sort on his left hand," which, for some reason, makes him a cheater. We at the Daily don't really understand this ourselves, and it's understandable that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is desperate to find some way to beat the vastly superior Tigers. But at the same time, we're not na've. We know that some cheating does go on in sports, and here's our attempt to finger ten culprits.
You leave your dorm, skipping merrily to class. The weather is perfect today; a brisk 58 degrees, and you're loving the chai latte you picked up at Brown and Brew earlier that morning. Nothing could possibly get in your way today, not when you are in this good of a mood.
Last Friday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran issued what could be a harbinger for Europe, warning her that continued support for Israel could lead to vengeance by those angry about the Palestinian plight. Though he did not care to elaborate on what these acts of revenge might entail, one can only imagine clandestinely organized Shi'ite militia groups summoned by the Ayatollahs to wreck havoc.
"I just want to be a Marine," senior Nicholas Schroback said. "I want that leadership experience. I just want to learn [what Marines learn] and do what they do. I want to lead Marines."
Just over two years ago, Ileana Casellas-Katz grabbed her stick and stepped out on Bello Field for the first time, hoping it would not be her last. As a non-recruited freshman, she knew a spot on the roster was far from assured, but she had been playing field hockey since the fourth grade and was not ready to abandon her favorite pastime.
Everything about the Boston Ballet's production of "Don Quixote" is lavish. No expense was spared, and from costuming to choreography to the theater itself, the entire show oozes luxury.
After successful weeks for both the field hockey and volleyball teams against NESCAC opponents, it only seems appropriate that a player from each team be recognized for her accomplishments on the field.
