The Tufts Democrats are the arm of the Democratic Party at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts and a duly recognized extracurricular student organization at that institution. The group is an official chapter of the College Democrats of Massachusetts and, by extension, the College Democrats of America and the Democratic National Committee.
Organization
The club membership is served by an core executive board, elected annually at the end of the Spring semester. Following their election in the Spring, and in the first weeks of the following Fall semester, the new members of the executive board consider applications for an expansive set of additional leadership positions. These appointed organization leaders, together with the elected executive board, comprise the Tufts Democrats Executive Committee. The Tufts Democrats Executive Committee bears the ultimate responsibility for the coordination of the organization's activities and is responsible for organizing a semesterly Tufts Democrats Internship Fair, an annual Issues of the Future Symposium and various other social and intellectually-focused programming that occurs on a consistent basis.
Additionally, in the year proceeding the selection of a Democratic Presidential Nominee members of the Tufts Democrats form subgroups within the organization in support of the various Democratic candidates. Each subgroup functions semi-autonomously and will often arrange for opportunities for political activism in support of its candidate. Subgroups often take trips to campaign in the nearby early primary state of New Hampshire.
Leadership
Currently, the executive board consists of the following five positions:
*President: Courtney Houston-Carter
*Vice President: Maya Karwande
*Treasurer: Andrea Lowe
*Secretary: Shana Hurley
*Communications Director: Mike Vastola
*Freshman Representative: Brian Agler
*Freshman Representative: Sarah Hacking
Major undertakings
The most notable undertaking of the Tufts Democrats during the past year has been the consistent presence it has maintained in Democratic campaigns throughout the Northeastern United States. Prior to the 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in particular, the Tufts Democrats arranged for bus loads of students to travel to Connecticut's 2nd congressional district, where Tufts alum Joe Courtney was engaged in a heated campaign against a then-Republican incumbent Rob Simmons. Courtney was eventually elected by just a 91-vote margin of victory.

DBMM (De Bellis Magistrorum Militum, Latin for "Of the Wars of the Masters of Soldiers") is an miniatures wargame written by Phil Barker, covering the ancient and medieval periods. It is the most recent of the "DBx" games that also include DBM, DBA, DBR, and Hordes of the Things. Covering the same periods at a similar level of detail as DBM, it is intended as the successor to that game.
Development
DBMM is based upon the popular DBM ancient wargaming rules, and shares many characteristics of that set. However there are significant changes that make it as different from DBM as are other sets in the same family.
Some of the more significant differences include:
*Ground scale
*PIP allocation for regular commands
*Brilliant and Inert generals
*Stratagems
*Terrain setting
*Deployment order
*PIP expenditure
*Move distances
*Combat results
*Morale
*Victory and defeat scoring
Successive versions of the rules were freely available on the internet for playtesting and criticism over a period in excess of 3 years. The DBMM Yahoo e-mail list had over 800 members by the time of publication, and over 1300 by the end of 2007.
