Once considered a black and white issue, racial identity is hazier than ever.
I feel the need to preface this next adventure with a disclaimer. For those of you who like sports, I wholeheartedly welcome you to the Features section. This is the first step toward realizing that the paper doesn't actually open right to left and that this isn't page 16, 11 pages after the Sudoku, but in fact page 3, two pages before it. Mazal Tov! But now I'm about to alienate you right back to page 1 (or 16) because this manual does not cater to people for whom enjoying football consists of simply tuning to ESPN on Sunday afternoons and relishing.
University President Lawrence Bacow and wife Adele Bacow made a guest appearance as beggars at Friday and Sunday's showings of "The Threepenny Opera." Tufts' music department sponsored the self-proclaimed "opera for beggars," held in the Granoff Music Center's Distler Performance Hall.
It is perhaps the most dreaded question for students: the choice of the label that will be branded on resumes, be inquired about upon future introductions and become permanent adult conversation fodder — "What's your major?"
This winter's heavy snowfall and an unexpectedly high volume of packages sent to Mail Services have resulted in a recent spate of delays for students expecting packages.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick paid a visit to Tufts late Friday afternoon to recognize the contributions of college Democrats across the state to his re−election campaign.
Papers, internships, reading, clubs, studying — the list of common sources of stress for college students is all too familiar. According to a recent University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) survey, however, first-year college students now report poorer emotional health than ever before.

Ever notice the Jumbos on campus who put more into their wardrobes than a momentary thought about which pair of sneakers doesn't clash with their sweatpants? We have, and some of their sartorial styles caught our eye in particular.
The stereotype of the party girl who throws back a few too many tequila shots and finds herself in a bar fight is rooted in cultural phenomena like "Jersey Shore" and "The Real World" — but at what point does the cliché become a real-life concern?
Something that (hopefully) hasn't changed too much over the years is the average Jumbo's dedication to his or her schoolwork. I think it's fairly safe to say that Tufts has seen generations of hard-working, intelligent students during the course of the university's history.
Sophomore Stefan Schwarz last night was elected as a Tufts Community Union senator after roughly 25 percent of the sophomore class voted in the special election for the empty seat.
Religion has long been a central aspect of societies worldwide, but its role and importance varies throughout the globe. As industrialization and globalization continue to impact every aspect of life, many wonder about the changing role of religion in a modern world and if the popular claim that Americans are more religious than Europeans is actually valid.
Yes, it actually exists. And at college campuses, no less. I headed over to Boston University's (BU) Hillel House — that shining marble beacon of free food, curly-haired Jewesses and gorgeously renovated lounges with a foosball table and coffee bar — to find love. (But seriously, Granoff family, you should see the colossus that Florence and Chafetz built for their yids.)
