27 Tufts Lax Men Temporarily Suspended
Back in October we addressed an incident involving Tufts men’s lacrosse players’ offensive heckling at a Tufts vs. Smith volleyball game. The events were first laid out in an op-ed by Rose Barrett ’14. In our dissection of the meaning of sexual entitlement, this instance represented the 3rd definition of entitlement: “to confer a title of [...]
Rough Start, Tufts?
Today, Wednesday, January 16th, marked the start of classes for Tufts University. Many students, returning at the 11th hour, were shocked and pleasantly surprised to find unseasonably warm weather (in the 40’s, y’all!) greeting them on afternoon of the 15th. Upon waking the morning of the first day of school, however, they were greeted with [...]
Remember The Name Thom Solo
Thom Solo graduated with a dual degree from Tufts and SMFA in 2012. Since 2008, his designer label–Thom Solo shoes–has been living up to its mission of creating “outlandish heels for epic divas.” Solo’s towering platforms, bedecked with sculpted flowers–and often glitter–connote the late Alexander McQueen when paired with the stray human skull.

Gun safety legislation seems an inevitable response to such a terrible and public event, yet the conspicuous absence of [...]
Tufts Admissions Officer Takes To Reddit

Your Stress will Affect Future Generations, and What to Do About It
I recently read an article written by a Carnegie-Mellon University student who addressed the effects of the stress and workloads, as well as pressures, in college. The article resonated with me, especially after this past semester, during which I spent at least 20 hours per week (at least!) in the library due to a 5 [...]
Jeffs Too Jolly?
The Amherst Muck-Rake has been anonymously run for over a month now, bringing some Lord Jeffs lots of joy and laughter, others concern and offense. The heavily satirical site seems to aim at taking the college a lot less seriously than it takes itself. Alongside humorous headlines such as “Lacrosse Midfielder: Investment Banking ‘Not for Me’” [...]
