Best of Tufts 2006: The results are in
April 30The results are in, and the Best of Tufts 2006 has been decided! During the vote counting, we at the Daily have learned a few things about our fellow Jumbos. Most noticeably, there are many more ties than normal this year. Is that due to the fact that many on campus are of two minds about their favorites, or because our sample size is really small? We'll let you decide. Also, some of us are very funny. Take, for example, the various answers to "Best place to pick someone up," On and Off the Hill: Answers included "the TEMS truck," "the community tot lot" (you're a bad person), "the rape steps" and the winner, "on the T." It's true, though. Nothing gets us hornier than leafing through a discarded Metro paper while making eyes at the drunk MIT freshman across the way. ...and some of us aren't. The best calzone is "this dick"? Ha ha! Penis humor: the gift that keeps on giving. Also, a shoutout to the creatively worded answer for "Best dance club," "dancing sux." Indeed it does. And some of us can't read directions. SOC is part of an 11-way tie for "Best dance club," even though, as you may have noticed, SOC is actually a student group, and the category was in the Off the Hill section. Also, though we wish this wasn't the case, Nick's House of Pizza is not on MOPS, and is ineligible for the "Best restaurant on MOPS" award. (Sidenote: Who voted for Yoshii's as "Best restaurant off MOPS"? Really? Yoshii's?) Anyway, here are the winners.ON THE HILL

Two perspectives on May Day | A day of inaction: Six-hour May Day
April 30Today's May Day, the first 24 hours of that great three-letter month that marks, for me, the official escape from the New England winter. Being a senior and all, I expected this year's upcoming May Day would mean little more to me than yet another reminder that Commencement is quickly approaching and my time at Tufts is almost over. But I, in a flurry of procrastination, decided to do some background research: "From where does this May Day originate?" I asked myself.
