During sophomore year, I was briefly involved with a guy that my friends affectionately still call "Sketchy Mike." I had just gone out on a good first date with him, and when I returned to Bush Hall later that that evening, I excitedly recounted our dinner to my friends.
The first Senior Pub Night of this semester, held Thursday night at Hurricane O'Reilly's, was a success, according to C.J. Mourning, the Senior Class Council's vice president of social programming.

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.

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. I had heard that it boasted several large buildings, each just brimming with students who have the power to speak so highly of themselves in conversation that they, like the Crimson's recent journalistic masterpiece, leave you full of hope and wonder — wondering if they could have possibly been serious, and hoping that you were just unwittingly part of some misguided, self-deprecating and poorly executed joke.
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.
