Some of us had a bit of fun yesterday. Rebekah, Shaw, & Bob built a Christmas tree out of the Congressional Record (base) and the Foreign Relations of the United States (top). The ornaments are from the American Community Survey. We’ll try to get a better photo that shows the lights, but until then, enjoy!

Our hearts go out to those suffering from the damage left behind by Hurricane Sandy. Today’s Friday Photo is a snip of the FEMA website devoted to Disaster Survivor Assistance – applications for assistance, resources, recovery centers & more.

We couldn’t resist this image of a Jeep not quite making it over a US border fence:

The Law Library of Congress has updated their website. It’s easy to find what you need & has links to the new Congress.gov. While you’re visiting their site, be sure to add their blog, In Custodia Legis, to your reading list. They cover some fascinating topics.

Friday Photo: To Kill a Mockingbird Stamp

The unveiling of the stamp and envelope will occur Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012 in our library at Samford University. Once the image is available we’ll add it to this post. For more information, see the announcement of the documentary along with details of the stamp and envelope. Update: a video of the stamp is included on the announcement. 
 
Sorry folks, we’re having difficulties locating an image of the items. Until we find something better, an image of the envelope is on the Alabama Humanities Foundations website. 
 
Here’s a pic of the replica of the Monroe County courthouse cupola (that’s for the person who placed a sticky note with the question what is this? on the cupola) in front of our library. You know, the courthouse believed to be the one used in the novel.

Since so many of our freshmen are using the topic of immigration for their essays, we thought this lovely image of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty would be the perfect way to end the week. Samford students, be sure to enjoy, sleep, play, & be safe over fall break. See you Wednesday!
