HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO
STONY BROOK'S MAIN MONKEY!
On
August 19th, 1944,
in the Year of the Monkey,
a baby boy was born in Shanghai, China. Children born in the
Year of the Monkey are supposed to have success in any field they try.
Given the vote on the Coliseum, we weren't sure if this was a birthday our
Monkey
would want to celebrate. But now that the vote is out of the way, the other
contenders
are not holding back. Barclay's Center wants the Islanders. Queens wants them at
Citi Field.
(We vote for that! The Willets Point Lighthouse, a stone's throw from Flushing.
Oh, definitely!)
Besides, at SBU we still have lots of reasons to celebrate even if Nassau
residents don't.
This summer an SBU student even designed an origami Wang Center with its Tower
to Heaven!
Out of business cards no less! Check it out Charles! Now if that isn't a great
birthday gift - what is?
