Mini-grants to help student groups finance alcohol-free parties show the good intentions of Health Services, but are unlikely to have much of an effect on campus drinking culture. Not only are these events unlikely to draw the crowds that house or fraternity parties will, but students will continue drinking nevertheless.

"Inside the American League" had its fleet of scouts scouring the televisions on Tuesday night in the endless pursuit of baseball knowledge when Boston Red Sox second baseman Mark Bellhorn hit a game winning double. Bellhorn has been underappreciated this season, and it made "Inside the AL" wonder, who are the other Mark Bellhorns of the league in 2004?
The recent success of Morgan Spurlock's documentary film "Super Size Me," as well as books like Eric Schlosser's best-selling "Fast Food Nation," have
The Libertines' debut, "Up the Bracket," was released in 2002 at the tail-end of the "garage rock" phenomenon that blew up in the music press.

The men's ultimate Frisbee E-Men battled it out this past weekend at the Club Sectionals in Newport, RI. Though it ended up with a 1-3 record, the squad was still satisfied with its performance as winning was not the main goal for the Sectionals.
In a previous Viewpoint, I discussed the state of the labor movement in the U.S., with a specific look at U.S. universities' role in this widespread assault on labor in this country. Specifically, I examined Tufts relations with its janitorial staff, which, through outsourcing, Tufts has managed to shamefully exploit at an increased rate in recent years, despite the continued efforts of the janitors, their union and Tufts' own Student Labor Action Movement.

The recent contract agreement reached between the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and OneSource falls far short of the standards to which Tufts professes to hold itself. The agreement, reached over the summer, is a modest improvement on the previous contract that had been in place for the service workers. It is not, however, a radical change from past contracts and it certainly does not put this university anywhere close to local peer institutions that directly employ their service staff.
In an article on Monday ("From Tufts to Secret Service"), it was implied that Tufts alum Alethea Pieters was a member of the U.S. Secret Service. She is a member of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's advance team, and works in tandem with the Secret Service.

Incognito as a girl out on the town enjoying the increasingly popular Davis Square restaurant and bar scene, I entered Martsa on Elm with a young man in similar disguise. Little did restaurant owners, Dechen Martsa and husband Choesang, know what power was concealed behind my critical eyes, as we were seated at a table for two in the small space that they have inhabited since July 9 of this year.
