...Quad students are faced with diminished access to university facilities and legitimate disadvantages as a result of their location—a claim founded on more than a lazy reaction to a 15-minute walk. The recent budget cuts only heighten existing shortcomings, so that the number of holes in services available for Quad students has now approached the point of absurdity. Students may soon find themselves without cell-phone reception, unable to call the escort service that would have replaced the shuttle that isn’t there, to take them to a library that isn?...
...Quad has no cause to be considered the unfortunate domain of reluctantly banished unfortunates. With its spacious quarters, strong sense of House pride, and short walk to many shops and restaurants, the Quad is a wonderful place to live. But students will only consider it as such when the administration seriously considers the needs of those living there.

He was flanked by General David Petraeus, who reinforced Holbrooke...
...Last semester, 45 elementary and junior high schools across Taiwan also promoted walking to school as a way to improve the environment and personal health. Taipei's Xinglong Elementary School had remarkable results: 87% of its 1000 students and 60 teachers now walk to school, and as a side benefit, many have lost weight. The faculty lost a total of 220 pounds (100 kgs), and overweight students lost an average of 0.4 BMI in just three months. "Now I walk everywhere," says Shih Chen-ming, a school superintendant who lost 44 pounds (20 kgs) in six months. "I'm happier...
