The Idol, in stripes

As if Doug Klein didn't have
enough to do as director of the Center for Converging Technologies, associate
dean for information technology and professor of economics, he has taken on
another vital role: photographer of the Idol.

Since the early 20th century,
the statue of the Chinese stone lion (now just west of Achilles Rink) has
served as the painted totem of student affiliation, loyalty and emotion. Since
2001, Klein has captured about 40 of the paint jobs.
