Seymour Hersh posed the question, in an address in the Terrace Room, that in order to understand foreign policy "in Iraq and worldwide since Sept. 11, 2001, we have to know: How did we get to where we are?"
I wonder what President Bush saw when he looked into Vladimir Putin's soul. Apparently, our President got an inside view of the Russian President's innermost, even subconscience emotions when he declared after a meeting, "I looked into [Putin's] soul and I saw that I could work with him."
Men's Cross Country: Led by junior Matt Lacey and sophomore Josh Kennedy, the team completed the Triple Crown this fall for the second straight year, winning, NESCAC's, ECAC's, and Div. III New England's in three consecutive weeks. While falling slightly short of expectations at Nationals, the squad came in sixth, its best finish in school history. Grade: A
Tufts alum Denise Rosenblum (J '87), senior vice president at Arnold Worldwide, explained the ins and outs of the advertising business to about 35 students in Eaton Hall yesterday.
Ahh, the last column of the semester. Yeah, I know. It's emotional for all of us.
It seems that tensions between Tufts students and local residents are coming to a boiling point as the semester winds down and Tufts students attempt to get in a few more parties before winter break.
As I watched the daggers fly through the sky, all I could think of was flying out of the theater.
It is a rare occurrence to find a group at a university that seems to embody so many different qualities, both positive and negative. Yet here at Tufts, and countless schools around the country, fraternities and sororities are constantly seen as the epitome of such polarity. Just think: What other organizations could have all positive aspects of a semester wiped out of the student population's collective mind with a single negative act? And what other organizations could find themselves in a position for negative actions to take place so often? The Greeks on this campus face such difficulties every day of the year.
It was supposed to be a battle of NFC titans, two teams many picked to meet in the NFC championship game, as the streaking Green Bay Packers traveled to the City of Brotherly Love to challenge the Philadelphia Eagles and their 10-1 record.
With Tufts' annual Naked Quad Run (NQR) rapidly approaching, students are weighing the potential exhilaration of the event with the potential embarrassment of finding naked photos of them posted on the Internet.
By the end of 2004, over half of Boston's 30,000 children living in poverty will have been supplied with vastly needed everyday items, thanks in part, to Tufts alum Barbara Clarke (J 88).
It looks as though we have a situation on hand. The three teams that remain undefeated from the major conferences, the USC Trojans, Oklahoma Sooners and Auburn Tigers, all posted wins this weekend, giving the BCS a problem: Only two of them can go to Miami to play for the national championship in the Orange Bowl.
Tufts students participated in two rallies this weekend protesting the war in Iraq, both of which attracted relatively modest crowds.
Start with the humor of "The Producers" and good dose of "Wicked" wit. Add the bounciness of a "Movin' Out" ballad, the emotional punch of "Les Miserables," and just a touch of "Li'l Abner" absurdity. Top it all off with a deranged Frog Prince named Mr. Bungee and maybe - just maybe - you'll begin to understand what Torn Ticket II's (TTII) production of "A New Brain" was all about.
Tonight, the Tufts Opera Ensemble brings a little bit of the Paris Op?©ra Comique to Alumnae Lounge .
Administrators say construction on Tufts' new music building will start at the end of the spring semester, five years after it was announced and three years after ground was originally supposed to be broken.
It's good to hear that construction is slated to begin on the music building this spring, after five years of planning. Budget constraints and changes in the plan have caused numerous delays. Hopefully these issues are resolved so that building can start this spring, and promises long made will finally be fulfilled. But there are still some concerns:
Last week, I took a nap in one of those big comfy chairs in Tisch Library with my feet up on a round table and an open book resting against my chest. With 21st century amenities like wireless internet access and an in-house movie theater, Tisch library is engineered for comfort. It's a great place to nap between classes, meet your friends for coffee or even study.
