Mashed potatoes, hummus and settler colonialism

There's something about November that never fails to transport me back to my days in elementary school. I remember the excitement boiling up in my stomach in anticipation of that ambiguous period known as "the holidays." It was finally time to dust off the age-old story of Thanksgiving and cut feathers out of red, yellow and orange construction paper for my headdress. My heart would always flutter at the thought of being able to reveal to yet another group of people that I am related to William Bradford - "the guy who invented Thanksgiving" I would boast.

Event shafted: Asleep before midnight

I would say most Tufts students agree that the school's party scene is predominately, and on some nights solely, reliant on Greek life. Sweaty basements and "Gangnam Style" constitute a typical Friday night and satisfy both the need to unwind and to make regrettable decisions following a stressful week.

Pro-Con | Con: It's all Greek to me

Since the establishment of the first fraternity in 1776, people have debated the advantages and disadvantages of fraternities and sororities on college campuses. This year, as rushing season draws closer, we once again rehash the moral permissibility of Greek life at Tufts. I am staunchly opposed. By participating in this institution, we're condoning and contributing to the problems nationally.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Pro-Con | Pro: Long live Greek life at Tufts

Thirteen percent of Tufts' student population is involved in Greek Life. The Greek community consists of a total of 13 fraternities and sororities, including nine fraternities, three sororities and one co?ed fraternity. It is almost impossible to imagine Tufts without them.

Cautious optimism in Obama's second term

After a long, challenging campaign against a well?funded opponent and with a struggling economy fo fix, Barack Obama was elected to a second term as President of the United States last night. In his second term, Obama will tackle issues including a domestic unemployment crisis, America's role in the Middle East, possible Supreme Court justice nominations and execution of health care and immigration reforms. Obama began to address these issues during his first four years at the helm, but failed to live up entirely to the message of hope and change that he conveyed throughout his 2008 campaign.
