McMaster again tops Commuter Challenge

For the second year in a row, McMaster placed first in its size category in the Commuter Challenge, not only among large organizations in Hamilton, but across Canada, with a participation rate of 23 per cent. The Commuter Challenge is a week-long event that encourages Canadians from coast to coast to coast to get to work by means other than driving alone. Between June 5-11, 1,115 McMaster staff, faculty, and summer students walked, biked, took the bus, kayaked, or shared the ride to campus for at least one day, and several more took extra efforts to keep their vehicles as fuel efficient as possible.

Helping in a selfish world

Billions of people tuned into recent Live 8 concert broadcasts, some just for the music, others to support the altruistic cause spearheaded by former Boomtown Rat, Sir Bob Geldof. In today's rat-race climate, what makes some of us look out for each other, while others look out for themselves?
