Q: I'm not much of a breakfast person, and sometimes, I don't even have a chance to eat anything until lunchtime or after. I don't get too hungry most of the time, and I eat a pretty decent dinner, but I keep reading that I'm supposed to be eating breakfast and that it's bad if you don't. Is that really true, or are people just trying to make me feel bad?

Tufts advertises its connection with the lively and culturally rich city of Boston in nearly all of its promotional materials, but Jumbos themselves may find the metropolis daunting when left to find their own way around.
Following a week in which Tufts spring sports teams went 11-0, including a perfect 6-0 against visiting Trinity this weekend, two Jumbos have been recognized with NESCAC Player of the Week nods.

John Baronian graduated from Tufts University in 1950. Since then, he has not stopped giving back. While attending Tufts, Baronian received four varsity letters as a lineman on the football team. He was known as "Mr. Tufts" and was an exceptional athlete, but it is his accomplishments after graduation that make him such an outstanding Jumbo. Baronian helped to create programs to fund Tufts athletics, and he also created a scholarship in memory of his parents. Two football awards that are given out each year are named after him, as is one of the field houses located in Ellis Oval. In addition to all of his financial support, John Baronian has given yet another gift to the Tufts community. Since graduating, Baronian has been collecting elephants of different sizes. With a grand total of 3,000 elephants, Baronian has decided to display these animals at Tufts - where, he says, they belong. These photos depict a small but character-filled portion of Baronian's vast collection, which is currently on display at Aidekman.

The Tufts basketball team may never be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and our football team may never play in the Rose Bowl, but that doesn't mean that Tufts groups don't excel in what they do.
Even on the best of days, competition in the world of track and field is fierce. With limited opportunities to ascend to Div. III biggest stage, the National Championships, those athletes in the upper echelon of the sport must constantly work to gain minute advantages to edge their equally capable competitors.
Every year, local publications including Boston Magazine, the Improper Bostonian and the Boston Phoenix publish an issue focused on the "Best of Boston" (or "Boston's Best," or some other configuration of the words "Boston" and "Best").
From herbal concoctions to hypnotism, alternative medicine can take many forms. Ancient Chinese medicine focuses on the balance of life (yin/yang), while holistic medicine, which originated in India, aims to treat the whole body at once, or "holistically."
Judicial Advocates are trained to guide, advise and help any student who is in some way involved in the Tufts judicial process. The program is based entirely on a single and fundamental principle: the right to defend one's self within the disciplinary system.
While the men's track and field team looked ahead to the all-important NESCAC Championships, coach Ethan Barron used this past weekend's Dartmouth Invitational to rest some key athletes and give the remainder of his team an opportunity to reach its top form.

Ever since the (possible) retirement of Roger Clemens following the end of the 2005 season, the National League has been looking for the next dominant ace to step up and fill his shoes.
Last week I asked the Tufts community to submit their choices for an "Unsung Hero" award. The recipient (or, recipients) of this award had to be a member of the support staff at Tufts and had to meet the simple criteria of having brightened up the day of another member of the Tufts community. The results are in, and they fall into the easily classifiable categories of dining services employees, administrative assistants and people dressed up like chickens.
