Alright, youâve been home long enough for the nostalgia to wear off, and youâre reminded of why you decided to go to school so far away in the first place. Your friends from home are people for who...
we got you, 'Cac
Townies, the pejorative term many ‘Cac-ers (including myself) call youth/college age persons who live and work around our campuses, are often a source of contention for NESCAC students. Depending on your location, be it Hartford or Medford the color and class of your townies may be different. Here at Tufts, we have large communities of Black, Portuguese, and Latino people that surround our suburban campus. Townies are often blamed for assaults and have been known to crash and ruin off-campus parties. They are marked as outsiders and when not volunteering in their YMCAs and Libraries, I can’t imagine many Tufts students associating with them.

Wesleyan, 4/20, and the pizza stampede
Peter Frank (Wesleyan ’12)–creator of the infamous CollegeACB website–is back with a new venture called Texts.com, which looks like some nifty way for students to buy and sell textbooks on campus. More importantly, at least on Saturday, the service officially launched at Wes via a mass distribution of pizzas at 4:20 p.m. Only in the ‘Cac would your 4/20 ‘za craving be satisfied by the launch of a social/tech startup. Check out this video taken on Foss Hill of the ensuing revelry (h/t Wesleying):

What must change for the Tour de Franzia to survive?
Increasing levels of semi-threatening e-mails from Wesleyan’s administration could only mean one thing: it’s officially Tour de Franzia season! The Tour consists of a night in which groups of students run around campus, taking pictures of themselves at destinations or performing tasks the organizers come up with—places like “Where Obama spoke” or things like “Hooking up with an islander (no Manhattanites)”—all whilst chugging Franzia with abandon. The first group to finish the entire list (and box, about five-and-a-half bottles of “wine”) wins. The event usually ends with arrests and hospitalizations, not unlike another weekend night at Wesleyan, but definitely more than average. University administrators are doing everything in their power to end the tradition. Both this year and last year, Dean of Students Mike Whaley e-mailed parents in an attempt to get parents to discourage their children from participating.
