Fordham page created

Just created pages for Fordham and Renda, respectively. So many schools have their own pages (WashU, CMU, Peking U, Tsinghua, to name a few) where alumni flock. Let's become fans too!!!

If you'd like to, just follow the links on my wall, right below this note ("Lawrence became a fan of Fordham University/Renmin University of China.")

诗经·鼠嗜米

kudos to XL

大家都骂杨老鼠、刀螂和旁聋之流恶俗,如果他们是在春秋
时期唱那些歌,或许,也会被选入《诗经》呢......

《老鼠爱大米》:
我听见你的声音
有种特别的感觉
让我不断想不敢再忘记你
我记得有一个人
永远留在我心中
哪怕只能够这样的想你
如果真的有一天
爱情理想会实现
我会加倍努力好好对你永远不改变
不管路有多么远
一定会让它实现
我会亲亲在你耳边对你说(对你说)
我爱你爱着你
就像老鼠爱大米
不管有多少风雨我都会依然陪着你
我想你想着你
不管有多么的苦
只要能让你开心我什么都愿意
这样爱你

《诗经·鼠嗜米》:
吾闻君声,乃有异觉
辗转思之,毋敢相忘
君在我心,永难忘之
若当其日,诸愿皆偿
吾爱静女,上可鉴之
途远且艰,吾可誓之:
吾爱静女,如鼠嗜米
风来雨打,永世同心
君在我心,纵苦纵难
惟愿君喜,九死无悔!

要造就一大批人

“要造就一大批人,这些人是革命的先锋队。这些人具有政治远见,这些人充满着斗争精神和牺牲精神。这些人是胸怀坦白的、忠诚的、积极的、正直的。这些人不谋私利,唯一的为着民族与社会的解放,这些人不怕困难,在困难面前总是坚定的,勇敢向前的。这些人不是狂妄分子,也不是风头主义者,而是脚踏实地富于实际精神的人们,中国要有一大群这样的先锋分子,中国革命的任务就能够顺利的解决。”

毛泽东为陕北公学(中国人民大学前身)题词

WashU and Presidential Debate

from wiki

Washington University is well known for hosting United States Presidential and Vice Presidential debates. The University has been selected to host a Presidential or Vice Presidential debate in every United States Presidential election since 1992. United States presidential election debates were held at the Washington University Field House in 1992, 2000, and 2004. A Presidential debate was planned to occur in 1996, but scheduling difficulties between the candidates canceled the debate.[14] The university has been selected to host the only 2008 Vice Presidential debate, between Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden, D-DE, on October 2, 2008.[15]

Although Chancellor Wrighton has previously noted after the 2004 debate that it would be "improbable" that the University will host another debate and was not eager to commit to the possibility,[16] he subsequently changed his view and the University submitted a bid for the 2008 debates. "These one-of-a-kind events are great experiences for our students, they contribute to a national understanding of important issues, and they allow us to help bring national and international attention to the St. Louis region as one of America's great metropolitan areas," said Wrighton.

Although WashU has hosted Presidential Debate 3 times, I've never been to one...
