When Cher Horowitz (played by Alicia Silverstone) giddily displays her report card to her father in the 1995 film "Clueless," he beams with pride — but not just because his daughter's grades are good. Cher and her father are especially proud because the report card is the result of a long string of battles with teachers for better marks: Cher is a grade-grubber.
Agriculture is New Zealand's major exporting industry. According to the New Zealand External Trade Statistics, in the year 2007, dairy farming alone accounted for about 21 percent of merchandise sold overseas.

Barack Obama's Election Day victory made his message of change a reality. But the widespread media attention surrounding his triumph overshadowed some of the other results on Nov. 4. As it turned out, the citizens of Massachusetts, and by default Tufts students, received an extra dose of change — Question 2, which proposed decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana, was passed by a solid majority of the vote.
I 'll admit it. My everyday conversations are littered with my new favorite adjective. It is limitlessly telling and packs a surprising punch: that. You know what I'm talking about: that friend who everyone secretly hates, that guy who blatantly flirts with your Italian professor, that chick in Dewick who talks about personal things way too loudly (oh wait ... that's me). We all know them. Some of us are them. I've come to embrace them, but there is one that makes me reexamine the phenomenon: that crazy girlfriend. "That" is more powerful when it stands alone. Nothing stings quite like being told not to be that girl.
Aflannel-sporting, all-'90s-era hip-hop-music-knowing, depression-recovering English grad student lopes across campus three days a week. Walking with purposeful, elongated steps, Geoff prides himself on his English-teacher-in-the-making style: tanned loafers, slacks that are a bit too big, a loosely fitting maroon-colored oxford and a tattered leather briefcase-bag slung across his chest, bumping gently against his thigh as he strides by with his thermos always in hand -- tea, of course; he scoffs at coffee.

TuftsLife.com administrators plan on improving the Web site's coverage of the daily menus of Carmichael and Dewick-MacPhie Dining Halls soon, although they declined to give a specific time frame.
Tufts' hilly terrain and the occasional block of back-to-back classes may be a slight nuisance to the average student. For Jumbos with physical disabilities, however, "the Hill" presents a challenge far beyond the realm of annoyance.
Tufts students are used to hearing references to Tufts' expansive international community -- The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy's lofty reputation coupled with a 14-percent international undergraduate student body make for a geographically diverse campus. But few people question how Tufts actually came to receive such a reputation, and why such students choose to come to a school thousands of miles away from home.
