From Vera Wang to vintage, Gucci to garage sale, Tufts students represent all points on the fashion spectrum. But at the end of the day, does the average Jumbo care enough about their clothing to project a personal "image?"
The football team was in command of Saturday's season finale against Middlebury for all but two seconds. Unfortunately for the Jumbos, those two seconds were the last of the game.
Walking into Danish Pastry House — DPH, to those in the know — on Boston Avenue, one might think it's just a typical local cafe. It's cozy, yet spacious, with an attractive display of desserts lining one wall and an assortment of hot and cold drinks available for order.
The Tufflepuffs, Tufts' Quidditch team, became the darlings of the muggle Quidditch world last fall with an epic run through the World Cup to force a matchup with Middlebury, the sport's founders, in the final.
Somerville and Medford residents who on Tuesday flocked to the polls to vote in local elections favored incumbents in several posts, re−electing Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn and Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone.
The term "sex hair" rarely evokes slicked-back ballerina buns packed with bobby pins, but ballet and burlesque are far from disparate to Marian Swain, Tufts senior and managing director of the famously sexy Tufts Burlesque Troupe (TBT).
Boston has been a longtime hub for filmmakers and movie buffs alike. Though common sense would deem Hollywood the epicenter of film, Boston is a prevalent backdrop and is also host to numerous festivals and cinema-based events. Just ask Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who — since their coronation as Hollywood hotshots — have been bringing movie sets to Boston since "Good Will Hunting" (1997).
Holocaust survivor Dr. John Saunders spoke about his journey escaping five concentration camps at Tufts Hillel last night as part of the Cummings/Hillel Program for Holocaust and Genocide Education.
Imagine yourself in Barnum 008 halfway through a lecture as a group of armed soldiers storms into the lecture hall, arrests your professor, imprisons your classmates and confiscates all your class materials. While this story may seem only imaginary to those of us at Tufts, for college students who are members of the Baha'i faith in Iran, it is a stark reality. The Baha'i faith, a religion whose primary mission is to promote and bring into reality the principles of the oneness of God, the oneness of religion and the oneness of humankind, is Iran's largest religion after Islam. Its members have suffered horrific persecutions at the hands of the Iranian government since the faith was founded in the mid 1840s, and this persecution has intensified in the past three decades.
David Beckham took out a $78 million policy for his legs in 2006. Three years later, Cristiano Ronaldo got his lower body insured for $153 million. Kate Barnosky might have been best served exploring similar options for her right knee.
Veterans Day comes to Tufts in the form of yet another three−day weekend not very different from all the others enjoyed by those who don't have class or labs on Friday and/or skip their recitations.
For anyone who has been involved in the electronic music movement of the 2000s, Justice is a name that will be instantly recognizable. DJ duo Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, who comprise Justice, first gained recognition with their remix of Simian's "Never Be Alone." The band then exploded onto dance floors worldwide with the single "D.A.N.C.E." off their debut album "Cross" (2007), and they've been rising in international fame ever since.
As a white female on campus who grew up in a world of socioeconomic privilege, I felt confused and somewhat offended by the op−ed "What happens when integration and assimilation fail?," published on Nov. 1, 2011. I am a student who has actively advocated for racial equality and assimilation at Tufts, accepted her role as an active citizen, tried to give back and educate herself and others on issues on campus and encouraged others to be not only tolerant but also empathetic to others' struggles at Tufts. While I may not fully empathize with students of color at Tufts who "desire whiteness" as the author did, or with students who do not feel comfortable with their identity at Tufts, I attempt to understand, sympathize and educate myself. In doing so, I hope to convey an understanding of the exclusion those students feel and act as an ally to their causes.
As University President Anthony Monaco entered his 100th day in office yesterday, he outlined for the Daily his big−picture plan to make a switch from a focus on listening to developing a cohesive plan across the university's schools. Over the past 100 days, undergraduates themselves have gone through Fall Ball, midterms and, for freshmen, adjusting to a new life on the Hill. Monaco himself has been adjusting to be a Jumbo, and here's what the Hill had to say about the first 100 days.
The Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate earlier this semester unanimously passed a resolution calling for the university to expand its virtual private network (VPN) service, which would offer students the option to access a secure Internet connection.
