Messy rooms

he other day, one of my male friends told me that girls are just as messy as guys. He said it as if it were some big truth, as if girls have been keep- ingT this secret for centuries, and it’s just now come to light. In a way, this is sort of true. This feels like a more recent idea, something that hasn’t been an issue before. But it’s also pretty ridiculous. It’s not really fair to say that girls are messy, just like it’s not fair to say that guys are messy. Some guys are messy. Some girls are messy, too. But not all. Some guys are neat and organized. Some guys leave socks on the floor. Some girls don’t put away their shoes. Sometimes people are messy. Messiness isn’t a gen- dered thing. Having a vagina does not automatically make you a neat person. Nor does it mean you should be messy. How would your genitals have any effect on how neat you are? The thing is, they don’t. It’s not the geni- tals that are the problem, it’s the idea that men and women are fundamentally dif- ferent mentally and emotionally. The idea that you have to be one or the other, that gender is this discrete binary state that decides everything about you. courtesy not so gentlemen Part of me thinks this whole idea of Not So Gentlemen debut at successful AppleJam show in the Crane Room. women being the neat ones and men being the messy ones comes from the tra- ditional “role” of women in the household. Women were supposed to keep the house clean, so people just started assuming ‘Not So Gentleman’ enters Tufts music scene women are neat. Because society forced women to clean. That’s like if someone made you eat nothing but kale, and then assumed you love kale because you eat it all the time.

In Support of Our Colleagues

Part-time faculty at Tufts will soon begin to negotiate their first contract with the university now that they have won the right to collectively bargain. As full-time, tenured and tenure stream faculty we congratulate them on this historic achievement and strongly support them in their effort to gain compensation and benefits commensurate with their education, talent, and experience. In the upcoming negotiations, Tufts has the opportunity to demonstrate on its own campus its commitment to social and economic justice. As the university’s Strategic Plan states, “we should actively participate in using knowledge to promote positive change. This message applies in nearby communities and around the world, but it should also apply on campus.” We wholeheartedly endorse that statement and urge the university to negotiate with our colleagues in that spirit.

DOCUMENTING DHAKA, BANGALDESH

Introduction by GARY KNIGHT Award-winning Photographer and Director of the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice and Exhibition • TODAY, Wednesday, February 26, 12:00pm Slater Concourse Gallery, Aidekman Arts Center refreshments will be served

From May 26 to June 3, 2013, ten students from the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice – an educational initiative of the Institute of Global Leadership which teaches students to shape com- plex, global issues into compelling, multimedia stories – traveled to Dhaka, Bangladesh to document the world’s fastest growing megacity.

Rapid urbanization is swelling cities worldwide, but nowhere are the effects of such growth more visible than Dhaka. With a population that doubled in size from 1990 to 2005, the city is expected to be home to more than 20 million people by 2025. Mingled within the city’s cacophony of car horns and eclectic mob of rickshaws, the perils and promises of the country’s capital play out in the lives of its inhabitants.

In collaboration with students from the Pathshala Media Institute, founded by photojournalist Shahidul Alam, and under the guidance of renowned photojournalists Gary Knight, Munem Wasif, and Samu- el James, these students documented the stories of the widening income gap, labor rights, pollution, health, commerce, industrialization, and more. Together, they illuminate the story of rapid growth, signif- icant change, and the unknown future of the megacity.

On Saturday, Tufts hosted Colby, the only NESCAC team it had defeated ear- lier this season, and lost 4-1. The next day, in the final game of the season, Tufts defeated Bowdoin 4-3 in a back- and-forth game to end the year on a high note. Since they failed to qualify for the NESCAC playoffs, the Jumbos end their season with an overall record of 4-19-1 and a conference record of 2-15-1.
