Saturday’s Lancer football game just got a lot more interesting, as Windsor joined McMaster in Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s top 10 national rankings. The two teams will play under the lights Saturday on Alumni Field. Kick-off is at 7 p.m.
A release announcing the newest results of the national poll noted the 2-0 Lancers were rewarded for last week’s 41-40 upset of Laurier. Windsor is now ranked 10th in the country; the Marauders are seventh after a loss to Western.
Saying she never passes up free food, third-year acting student Alejandra Simmons pulled her classmates to the Campus Community Barbecue, Tuesday in the quad between Dillon and Chrysler halls.
“I really appreciate the fact that there is a vegetarian option,” Simmons said as she sat on the lawn with her jumbo tofu hotdog. “It’s great—these fake meats are usually too expensive for me.”
Her friend Gracie Robbin said her lunch was “delicious”: a Mediterranean smoky sausage topped with mustard, sauerkraut, hot peppers and onions.

Stories are ubiquitous in human experience, says Floris Bex.
“We use them to entertain and communicate and it is often suggested that they are rooted in our psychology and thus serve an important cognitive function,” he says. “Stories are claimed to provide natural and intuitive ways of explaining some phenomena.”

Research that will ultimately make it safer for children to get to school or home from the park whether they’re walking, pedalling their bikes or riding in the back of a car got a $1.7 million boost yesterday.

Kali Gawinski is fit, but was surprised how much of a workout yoga is.
The MHK candidate is looking for participants in a study of the physiological benefits provided by practising yoga, which involves specialized breathing techniques, physical exercises and postures, and meditation.
“We’re comparing hot yoga to regular yoga, trying to determine whether they provide physical benefits on a par with more traditional forms of exercise,” says Gawinski. “Does yoga impact cardio-vascular fitness?”
In preparing for her research this spring, she decided to try yoga herself.
Wherever there is a need to manage and have relationship with people, there will always be a place for the humanities, says Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group LLC.
Recipient of a UWindsor BComm in 1979 and an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 2005, he spoke with Humanities Research Group director Antonio Rossini for an interview in the group’s newsletter, Athena. Marchionne’s first degree was a BA in philosophy, and he said his humanistic education opened his mind.
