Tufts Women in Media aims to address sexism

November 26

Women comprise only one−third of the full−time journalism workforce worldwide, according to a 2011 study by the International Women's Media Foundation. In the United States, less than a quarter of those in top management jobs in the media are women. On the Hill, Tufts Women in Media, a new student group headed by junior Laura Barnes, aims to create a forum to discuss these issues, as well as the portrayal of women in the media.

Kacey Rayder | Insult to Injury

Hello again, readers. Now that the weather has returned to more normal temperatures after a few days of dismal rain, I can move on and complain about something else — not that I hadn't started doing so already. My complaints this week may make me seem like I am a 95−year−old grandma, not a 20−year−old college student, but I'm sure there's at least one other person on this campus who feels the same way I do about loud music in clothing stores.

Faith on the Hill: Buddhism

November 20

Mindful, conscientious, contemplative — not exactly words commonly used to describe college students, whose primary responsibilities are often limited to showing up to class and getting decent grades. But a small group of Tufts students — though not quite living monastically — apply these principles of Buddhism, with varying degrees of devotion, to their daily lives.

November 19

Guys. We are but a day away from Thanksgiving break, and you know what that means. It's practice for the big one. It's time to get mildly reacquainted with our parents, siblings and pets before this fine university sends us careening out of its gates and into our childhood bedrooms for winter break. Where the heck did time go?

Unless you're an engineer or one of the few seniors who get into Math of Social Choice, you probably wouldn't consider registration "fun," per se. A new social order was established a few weeks ago when the registration times were released: Those with 8 a.m. registration times were the monarchs; 9−10:30 a.m. times characterized the nobles and gentry; knights and vassals occupied the 10:45 to noon slots, while the humble merchants and craftsmen shuffled in from 12:15 to 2 p.m.; finally, after 2 p.m., the serfs and peasants were allowed to scavenge what they could. The monarchs pranced about campus as if their registration times were bequeathed to them through divine right, while the less−fortunate wallowed in self−pity. Both these schools of people suck, and their antics shouldn't be tolerated.

Dabbut.com: The next new thing?

November 15

When junior Albert Nichols last year created his website, Dabbut.com, he intended it to be a new, more truthful alternative to forums such as CollegeACB and JuicyCampus. However, Dabbut presents a host of potential privacy and cyber bullying−related issues that concern some Jumbos.

Lately we've heard quite a large amount of people discussing an issue that even the intelligent and resourceful students of Tufts University can't seem to figure out. What is that issue, you may ask? Some important political argument? Yesterday's email concerning the consequences of participating in NQR? Why, for some people, class registration never seems to go well? None of the above. Instead, we're setting out to address something the Tufts campus needs to set straight: pubic hair.
