This semester's Cause Dinner, held on Tuesday at Carmichael and Dewick−MacPhie Dining Halls in support of the Tufts Haiti Relief Coalition (HRC), raised the most amount of money in the event's history.
I would like to preface what I am about to say with the fact that — albeit with a few exceptions of course — I really do like Danish people. Danish culture has many admirable qualities. Forbes consistently ranks Denmark as one of the best countries for business in the world; plus their pastries are consistently mind-blowing. And while I know that this might be a little provocative, I firmly believe that Jan "Big Mag" Magnussen is the greatest F1 racer of all time.

Is the newest Google.com rollout a "G-force" to be reckoned with or just a flop?
After reading two Harvard students' brilliant exposé on our campus two weeks ago (just Google it — Harvard Crimson + Tufts) and a few complaints that my column is not, in fact, journalism, I decided to do some hard-hitting, investigative journalism of my own. Harvard seemed like the perfect place to begin my journey into the fourth estate.

In the wake of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that early Saturday morning shook the central coast of Chile, university officials have received word that all Tufts students studying there are safe.
Not a dedicated "South Park" fan, I often find myself standing idly by as my friends engage in the classic American pastime of quoting lines and jokes from the Comedy Central series, most of which I do not understand and, frankly, do not find funny. However, one friend recently mentioned (i.e. recited word for word) an episode that hit close to home.
The Africana Center celebrated its 40th anniversary last month, but the event that prompted its inception was not memorialized with a gala or anything of the sort. In fact, Tufts did not officially recognize it at all.
Students may in the next two years be able to fill out and access course evaluations online, thanks to a collaborative project by Tufts Community Union (TCU) senators and administrators.

If words don't get the message across, actions just might do the job instead. After establishing that subtle nonverbal pro−white biases are prevalent in popular television shows, Tufts University Interpersonal Perception and Communication Laboratory researchers recently found that these nonverbal behaviors directly influence racial biases among television viewers.
Not far beyond the "Help for Haiti" sign that greets athletes on their way in and out of Cousens Gym lie about 50 bags of clothing and shoes just behind the doorway to Carzo Cage.
Off−campus residents may soon become the guinea pigs for Google's new ultra−high−speed Internet connection, pending the success of Somerville's application in the company's ongoing selection process.
While most leave "Sesame Street" behind along with sippy cups and diapers, Tufts alum Dan Lewis (LA '00) recently returned to the show that is a childhood fixture for many in order to help the 40−year−old program better adapt to the 21st century.
Erin Gruwell, an advocate for educational reform and subject of the movie "Freedom Writers" (2007), last night spoke at the fifth annual Merrin Distinguished Lecture about the current education system and her views on education.
