CJ Saraceno | Ban Together
September 28Sorry, readers. It's just that I found this new enemy that's so vile, so repugnant, that I had to abandon my original plans to write an engaging little piece that would have brought a smile to some homesick freshman girl's face while she ate her cottage cheese and honeydew wedges for breakfast in Carmichael. Instead, today's target is the very publication you are reading. That's right: I propose a ban on the Tufts Daily.

CJ Saraceno | Ban Together
September 21We at Tufts love to ban things. Basically, each year some students decide to try and ban one or more "luxuries" from our campus in order to contribute to an overarching cause.

Vote yes on Referendum 3
September 21Referendum 3 and Referendum 4 are about more than just community representation. In fact, I would argue that they are less about community representation and more about how we operate and function as a Tufts community.

We are seeking to bring more legitimacy to this position on the Tufts Community Union Senate, because frankly, it is necessary.
