Freshman Louis Mittel walked by Tisch Library yesterday evening. Something caught his eye as he walked down the steps from the library patio: a decorated life-size cardboard cut-out of a person. Painted on the cardboard, a message read, "Got consent? Even Captain Morgan gets consent!"
It's the beginning of a fresh semester, and Jimmy Jumbo reaches into his wallet, only to discover his last remaining $5 bill. He mutters to himself, "Job ... gotta get a job." Trudging up the Tisch Library steps, Jimmy sees dozens of flyers advertising job openings on campus. He hops onto the Tufts Student Employment Web site, throws together a few applications and finds himself proof-reading students' papers for $9 per hour the next week.
After a disappointing season mired with many more losses than wins, the Washington Nationals finally had something to celebrate Saturday night.
Writing on period sex and testicular exams didn't faze Amber Madison (LA '05) when she penned her weekly "Between the Sheets" column for the Daily (2004-05). But some of the questions she got in response did.
It's only two weeks into the fantasy football, season and already there are a few surprises. All fantasy owners know that there are roughly 14 weeks in the season, so giving up on a particular player too early is unwise. Then again, you don't want to be the guy stuck with underperforming players halfway into the season. Let's run through the list of surprises and busts for the first two weeks:
Every year Tufts sends about 40 percent of its junior class to countries around the world, from Argentina to Zimbabwe.
Princeton University announced Monday that it will end its early admissions program, a move that made it the first in what it hopes is a series of elite colleges and universities to follow Harvard's example, The Boston Globe reported.
For some of you, this is the first time you've ever lived so close to the Hub. For others, Boston is already a familiar neighbor. Whatever your status, I hereby declare that no Bostonian experience is complete without a taste of genuine New England clam chowder, or, as locals say, "chowdah."
What happens when seven guys who have been living on the same floor in a dorm for two years move into an off-campus house that is falling apart? How will they survive without RAs, sober kids, girls and other generally decent human beings?
Coming off of last week's first-place high, the Tufts women turned out another strong finish at the UMass Dartmouth Invitational. Despite the absence of its two frontrunners, junior tri-captain Catherine Beck and classmate Katy O'Brien, the Jumbos pushed for a sturdy third place finish out of 33 teams, attributed mainly to their close times and pre-race planning.
I lived in Tunisia on a Fulbright Student Scholarship from September 2005 to July 2006, during which I independently researched Roman mosaics. I arrived in late September with a broad interest in the function and iconography of Roman mosaics from the first to fifth centuries A.D.
Athletes, jocks, sports enthusiasts; unite! ESPN's long-awaited arrival to the television sets of Tufts students living on campus has finally occurred; and just in time for last night's installment of Monday Night Football.
It was a points-feast for fantasy football fanatics on Week 2, as both studs and wild cards showed off their stuff on Sunday.
In the increasingly vapid world of modern television - exemplified best by reality TV - producers, writers and actors face pressure from above and below to compete in an environment that has less and less use for them. After all, "reality" has no need of writers, or even actors. In a clever twist, Aaron Sorkin's new NBC drama reveals the reality of this situation - except it's scripted.
Let me welcome everybody to the Wild, Wild West. A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness.
For those Jumbos who choose to live for a semester or year in a foreign country, arrival in their new destination isn't the only adjustment period. Through meetings and dinners, the Office of Study Abroad provides a forum for shocked students to share their concerns upon returning. Still, it would be foolish for students to miss out on amazing experiences abroad only because of the rocky transitions in and out of Medford.
It's likely that in some dimension you grew up with New Found Glory, whether they were the band that helped you discover music outside the radio or even taught you what you didn't like in a vocalist.
In a baseball-obsessed city like Boston, who wouldn't enjoy a movie about a kid who'd travel from New York City to Chicago just to return Babe Ruth's bat and help the Yankees win the World Series?
All things considered, it's been a good year for My Morning Jacket. Actually, scratch that - a phenomenal year for the Louisville, Ky., band.
