Ever wondered what it would be like if a group of 16-year-olds were tasked with solving some of the world’s largest problems? Well, you’re in luck, because Tufts Model United Nations is hosting its 10th annual conference for high school students across the country from Feb. 27 to March 1.
Two Tufts students are among the 13 people arrested on Tuesday in the Boston Common after a 300-person pro-Palestine protest ended in a brawl with police officers, four of whom were reportedly injured.
Welcome back, Jumbos! And to the newly-matriculated Class of 2029: Welcome to Tufts! My name is Dylan Fee, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new editor in chief of The Tufts Daily. I would like to take a moment to acquaint you with the Daily and our incredible team.

Apart from this event, students and other supporters have taken several paths to advocate for her release, from participating in protests to signing petitions to donating money to her legal fund.
Need a distraction this week? I know I do. Take a break for a sweet treat with me as I review this week’s Sink-nature drink: the Hot Karl. The name “Hot Karl” brings to mind a small-time rapper who recorded an album titled “Your Housekeeper Hates You.” The rapper only kept the stage name Hot Karl for so long, which makes sense, as the other euphemism that comes to mind with this drink title is something I’d rather not have published with my name attached (If you know, you know, and if you don’t know, you don’t have to know).
