As details continue to emerge regarding former Rep. Mark Foley's alleged penchant for underage male Congressional pages, Republicans are increasingly worried about bad press for the party as a whole,-particularly with crucial midterm elections right around the corner.
"Did you hear what BLEEP did last weekend with that guy? I mean, it was in the basement of a frat house."
The costs of alcohol and its abuse are, no doubt, tremendous. Innumerable studies, and Tufts' alcohol survey, paint a pretty bleak picture.
Harvard University, the great bastion of higher learning and constant source of residual bitterness among Tufts students, has one-upped us once again.
The Daily reported at the end of last year that Tufts students are mobilizing in full force for the upcoming gubernatorial primary and general elections in Massachusetts.
A whirlwind of political polarization has struck the U.S. since the Twin Towers fell five years ago today, ushering in a new idea of impassioned public debate on issues from terrorism to wiretapping.
In less than 100 years, the flow of people coming in and out of Europe has been reversed. After years of being a net exporter, Europe has turned into the world's most diverse recipient of people. Today, Europeans collectively enjoy an unprecedented state of welfare, opportunity, and stability. These advantageous conditions have inevitably drawn many newcomers to countries such as Spain, France, Italy, England, and Germany. The boosters of immigration proclaim that non-European immigrants are making a significant contribution to the greatness of Europe. However, last year's London bombings and recent riots in Paris suggest that Europe is facing a crisis of integration, particularly Muslim integration.
With the recent suspension of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), the Judiciary of the Committee on Fraternities and Sororities has set a strict precedent for the start of the 2006-2007 academic year.
Good morning, Jumbos! It's a beautiful day in Medford: The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the Malden is like a mirror. (In a few short weeks, of course, this will be because the river will have frozen over.)
For years, Tufts' policy on plagiarism has consisted of little more than "eyes on your own paper" and "cite references properly."
Karen and Dan Pritzker pledged $5 million in 2002 to promote diversity at Tufts. When their pledge was matched by other Tufts donors, they made a second pledge of $5 million, bringing the Pritzker Challenge Gift to a total of $15 million.
Comparing the current conflict in Iraq to the Vietnam War has been, since the war's outset in 2003, a simplistic, weak argument against American intervention in Mesopotamia. The dissimilarities are too abundant, and the bloodshed hasn't been even close to comparable.
It is clear to nearly everyone that Europe is in desperate need of economic reform. With three of the founding members of the Union - France, Germany and Italy - in turmoil, it is time for Europe to take decisive action, but there seems to be no consensus on the proper course to take.
The Judy-Miller-Valerie-Plame-Scooter-Libby controversy is as convoluted as it is important. As was explored in this week's "Miller the Martyr?" series, a great deal of hedging of principles has gone on from a surprising variety of people on both sides of the political aisle.
Though Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has yet to officially concede defeat, farewell speeches cannot come soon enough. Perennially one of Europe's weakest links, Italy must overcome its political and economic woes.
In most Tufts student elections, voting rates do not eclipse the 40 percent barrier. Given the poor quality of the platforms endorsed by the candidates running for TCU president tomorrow, we won't be surprised if the number is even lower.
As much as many of us poke fun at the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate and the popularity contests that tend to characterize its elections, our student legislature actually accomplishes more than we may realize.
On Tuesday night, Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsored a campus-wide discussion and forum on diversity and cliques at Tufts. In front of a packed Cabot Auditorium, readers presented anonymously-submitted stories about incidents of bias and segregation at Tufts.
Fortunately, each of the 14 pens used to sign yesterday's Massachusetts health care bill will be more consequential than the one that Governor Mitt Romney used to block eight items from the original version. The Massachusetts legislature will almost undoubtedly hurdle the roadblock that Romney has placed on the path to universal health care.
