The letter asks members of the Tufts community to avoid parking on the “already crowded residential streets” with the zxception ofstudents who live on Colby, Bowdoin, Princeton, and Yale streets. The flyer was written after neighbors complained that their streets were being crowded by Tufts students. The city of Medford, according to the flyer, has the right to tow Tufts cars that are parked 3n Colby St. Barbara Rubel, director of Community Relations for Tufts, said that this is not a new situation. She said that parking has been a xoblem in that area since Tufts bought the land. “When we purchased that building and first planned to move in there, the one real concern that neighbors had was that we wouldn’t take up all their parking spaces, so we agreed that we would try to $scourage students and faculty members from parking there,” she said. Rubel said a similar notice is sent out almost every year due to ieighborhood complaints.

He was one ofthe most dedicated actors that I have ever worked with,” said Allan Piper, the film’s director. “Devore’s role is smaller than some of the others, but he puts so much into it that it is really fantastic.” Devore was recommended to Piper by Anthony Cornish, Tufts Artist in Residence, who was the casting director for Starving Artists. Piper recalledan incident duringthe filming ofthe movie when Devore injured himself and spontane- ously dislocated his knee during the shoot. Piper spoke with wonder about how the stalwart Devore said nothing of the pain in his knee until after the filming was done. Needless to say, he was rushed to the hospital immediately after.
