Superman
Fighting Crime Against Humanity
Between taking midterms and Spring Flinging, it can be easy to forget that humanity’s plights trump that bio midterm curved around a C+. So if you are feeling like a greedy, unappreciative villain after your anemia deemed you unfit for the blood drive and your crappy dancing skills would be best left untaught to small children, we can help. For those whose alter ego’s kryptonite is injustice and inequality, these fair-weathered spring months present the perfect chance for you to fight for your fellow citizens. On Saturday April 11, don your cape and fly through Philadelphia’s Walk Against Hunger, a six-mile run around the Philadelphia Museum of Art. However, if your superhuman abilities are needed elsewhere (or those months sans Pottruck have started to catch up with you), then take a one-mile stroll at the event to support the cause. You can also take a pointer from the “Man of Steel” himself and sport your cause on your chest. Sites like speakupdesigns.com and thehungersite.com allow you to ask others to “support your rack” and “cultivate peace,” while giving back to the greater good. All are noble thoughts if you want to help ward off societal ills, so extend those metaphorical muscles and stand up for what you believe in.
