With the SRA general election underway (polling on March 12 and 13, 2014), we wondered how much McMaster students really know about their Student Representative Assembly.

I consider myself lucky to say that my life doesn’t often resemble that of a Grand Theft Auto setting (re: surrounded by multiple stolen cars, maybe robbing a bank I feel up for it).

It was a dark and bustling night in the McMaster University Student Centre when I first saw it happen. I was nonchalantly eating dinner, seated directly across what can only be called a three-panel garbage can, when I witnessed a most disturbing sight.

The Cougars took over the Championships from the start to easily brush off the Marauders, securing themselves a spot in the final and deeming the Marauders to a fifth place consolation game […]

Coming off of a whirlwind weekend of success for the Marauder swim team, it is no surprise that Head Coach Andrew Cole was thrilled to sit down and talk about his team’s success this season. With so many elements leading to his team’s success, and so much promising skills to discuss, there was one name […]

By Alon Coret, Erin Dessau, Yardena Winegust It is easy to look at a complex political issue and see two opposing sides, and to think of their goals as conflicting.
