KimbAladdin
Rockin’ tiger’s head at the entrance of Kimball Hall as part of their theme for this year. It’s got flashing eyes and it even roars. Hand made by the creative residence staff.
(Kimball is an undergraduate dorm of about 200 upperclassmen and is one of Stanford’s Focus Houses– it’s focus being the Arts & Performing Arts. Focus houses are, among many other things, one of the cool parts of the Residential Education program, a long and rich tradition at Stanford and the strength of which makes the undergraduate experience at Stanford particularly unique and interesting.)

Personal Responsibility and Collective Power
A quote from former President Clinton’s appearance on the The Daily Show from Monday night (September 18, 2006):
If ever there comes a time when everyone you vote for wins and they do everything you think they should do, there will still be a gap between what is and what ought to be, at home and around the world. It’s just inevitable… And so people like you and me– private citizens– have more power to do public good than ever before and we should step into the gap. And unlike previous times, it’s great if you’re rich– Bill Gates and Warren Buffet deserve the world’s thanks and gratitude– it’s amazing what they’re doing, but you don’t have to be rich. In the tsunami, Americans gave 1.3, 1.2 billion dollars. Thirty percent of our households gave over half of them over the Internet. That’s stunning. So, that means if like everybody that’s watching The Daily Show decides tomorrow that they think the biggest thing in the world is to make America free of foreign oil and they want us to go into biofuels and there’s a fund that promotes that and everybody that sees this show gives ten or fifteen or twenty dollars– not big money– they all do it, you could change the world.
