One of the university's most popular student groups, Tufts Dance Collective (TDC), has grown even more attractive this year, to the point where it has had to violate its original premise.
Now is the time to come out of the phone booth as a comic book nerd. With unique storytelling, multiple genres within the medium and intriguing recreations of iconic characters, comics are gaining cachet in the well−regarded mainstream. Film adaptations of niche comics like Alan Moore's "Watchmen" (1986−87) and Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" series (2004−10) have received big promotional pushes. Furthermore, San Diego Comic−Con expands every year and an AMC television series based on the Image comic "The Walking Dead" is getting great buzz as its Halloween debut approaches. There's no shame in being caught on the T with your nose in a trade paperback these days.

A Tufts student organization launching this fall hopes to play a role in alleviating the North Korean refugee crisis through education and fund raising measures.
T he Jumbo herd was not stampeding in anger over last week's call to ban the Daily, proving my column's ineffectiveness. Thankfully, the pitchforks I ordered could be resold to the Tufts Gardening Alliance. My column's popularity was, however, affirmed by the student body's decision to not ban the Daily, despite its obvious shortcomings. To take advantage of this unanticipated second chance for the "Ban Together" series, I present my second ban proposal — this time of Tufts Telefund.
It's easy to forget that before the advent of big−box superstores where customers go in, find what they want, pay and leave — before the advent of the Internet, where in−person advice is replaced with online reviews — salespeople played an integral role in the shopping experience.

Most college students will readily admit to being stressed out. A smaller percentage might say they get anxious. Not quite as many will confess to suffering from depression, and even fewer will seek help.
A herd of Jumbos will take over the campus's streets tomorrow as part of Tufts' second annual Jumbo Stampede.
Tufts' Department of German, Russian, and Asian Languages and Literatures (GRALL) launched this year a new Arabic major in response to a student interest in the language that has grown overwhelmingly in the last decade.
When most people think of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), their minds conjure up images of mathematical equations, nerds and possibly a prank involving a police car and a tower. Amid the physics and engineering feats, fine art gets lost in the fray. Perhaps painfully aware of its reputation, MIT decided to diversify. Hence the birth of MIT's public art collection in 1963.
The reported 27 percent of college students plagued by sleep disorders may have found unlikely saviors: their dentists.

College is all about new experiences, one of which is sharing your room. But it goes somewhat against human nature to begin living with someone five minutes after you have just met. What if she's a freak who meows to her boyfriend over video chat? What if he watches you change for practice while sitting on the bed, pretending to read? What if she waxes her eyebrows, arms and upper lip every morning before you've even had coffee? To all freshmen: Yes, these stories are true, but I promise all victims are survivors. And you will be, too.
