A group of protesters lead by Mark Rudd, head of the Columbia chapter of the Students fo r a Democratic Society (SDS), wanted to block the construction because it deprived the Harlem community of recreational space. The dissidents, including off-campus protesters and black leaders, also demanded that Columbia end its ties with the Institute of Defense Analysis (IDA) because of an alleged connection with the Vietnam war. James S. Kunen, a student and writer, chronicled these events in The Strawberry Statement. Columbia used to be called King’s College. They changed the name in 1784 because they wanted to be patriotic and Columbia means America.

  • Printable Breed Introduction
    TICA Khaomanee Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: With one blue eye and one eye ranging from copper through yellow to green, this shining white cat from Thailand captures the imagination. Khaomanee (sometimes seen as Khao Manee) means White Gem and is thought to have been a favorite in the royal palaces. A heart- shaped face with high cheekbones and a brilliant white coat like diamonds belie the naughtiness of these stunning cats, but their devotion to you will have you admiring the naughtiness that these intelligent cats so enjoy as they entertain you with their antics. History: Several related breeds have their origins, ancient origins, in Thailand. The Siamese (Wichien-maat), the Burmese (Suphalak), the Korat (Dork Lao) and the Khaomanee. The first three breeds are well-established in the West but the Khaomanee has remained a well-kept secret in its native Thailand. Like the other breeds, we find references to the Khaomanee in the Tamra Maew (an ancient collection of Thai cat poems from 1350). Although in that text, it is called the Khao Plort. While the eyes were originally referred to as the color of mercury, the eye color was changed to reflect the odd-eyed cats that were considered lucky and also to have the yellow eyes like canary diamonds that breeders also favored. Interest in these striking cats has grown in the West, and in 1999, Colleen Freymouth imported the first Khaomanee, Sripia, from Thailand to the US. She also imported a male and bred the first Khaomanee litter in North America. Janet Poulsen (Odyssey cattery) exported the first Khaomanee to the UK, and interest in the breed is growing there, as breeders import more of these stunning cats from Thailand to continue developing the breed.

  • Sourdough's Place
    26 MANUSCRIPTS SOURDOUGH'S PLACE MARTHA MOLDT I don't guess it's every kid that gets to spend a night at Old Dead Sourdough's place. I'm really pretty lucky, I guess. I mean, most kids' parents are very restrictive--real uptight about letting their experience if he's going to be a world famous writer someday. Some kids's parents are very restrictive-real uptight about letting their little darling go someplace where he might get a hair on his dear head bent out of round or something. Like Bert's mom, for instance. Bert Littlefield. He's my best friend. My mom laughs because Bert's so short and skinny-he'd be fatter I guess except that he runs around all the time like somebody wound up his mainspring too tight. He talks all the time, too. Some- times I just have to turn him off. You know-go read a book or something. It doesn't bother Bert, though. He keeps burbling on and on, just like somebody was listening all the time. I've got to admit, most of the time he has good ideas. I get a lot of my plots out of Bert. If you can stand the jabber long enough, you find out that Bert is really a very creative guy. But his mother ... she's about as sensitive as a dead rat! My mom laughs at us because Bert and I are such a crazy combination. I guess she has got a point-I'm tall and sort of fat (Mom says to say "stocky"), and I'd rather have my nose in a book than almost anything, but Bert and me--we do ok.

Of Snow Drifts Gunnar will stick his head in a four foot drift with his rear end in the air when hunting for a ball. On his first cross-country ski outing back in 2000, Wally stopped at the bottom of a slope, too narrow for a snow plow. This resulted in 2 seconds of panic which felt like 3 minutes. Wally stuck his head in the snow bank and quickly pushed his torso in; only a quivering tail and a few inches of hind quarters Hershey, secretly training for the pounce stuck out. Collision averted, the quivering stopped and Wally backed out. In his mouth hung a limp Hershey , a horribly neglected senior with numerous frog (or toad?) which he held by the head.

I drew the girl wearing a mask being that in most East Asian cultures people wear a mask before and when they get sick. The bird was used to represent the people who see our struggles and pain. The flower is an eschscholzia golden poppy that represents peace. I wanted the background to be stormy to show her state of mind. I made the composition diagonal and the bird flying upward to show that it's going to get better and that there are people who see our struggles without any ethnic bias.
