Housing development on Stanford Ave.
welcomes first round of new occupants
By KELSEY KING
After four years of planning and a year and a half of con-
struction, all the houses of the new Olmsted Terrace devel-
opment have been sold and the first faculty residents have
moved in.
The development, located on Stanford Avenue between
Escondido and El Camino Real, has six completed and oc-
cupied homes. An additional five homes are set to be com-
pleted each month until April 2011 for a total of 39 houses,
said Tiffany Griego, associate director of real estate for
Stanford’s Office of Real Estate.
Stanford developed Olmsted Terrace to help recruit and
retain faculty by creating desirable, affordable, on-campus
housing.At $700,000 to $900,000, the homes are intended to
make ownership a more realistic option for faculty in the
relatively high-cost Palo Alto area.
“Real estate prices are very high in this area and afford-
able housing for our faculty is a major challenge,” wrote Jan
Thomson, director of Faculty-Staff Housing, in an e-mail to
The Daily. “A special, and very restricted, lease was devel-
oped for Olmsted Terrace in order to make the homes more
affordable for our faculty and to keep them affordable for
future faculty who buy there.”
Buyers are subject to a 51-year restrictive ground lease.
As a condition of the lease,after 51 years the lessee must sell
the home back to the University, which can in turn sell the
home to another faculty member.
“It’s really trying to create a stock of faculty housing that
Stanford will have into perpetuity,” Griego said.
Faculty members were quick to realize the benefits of
Olmsted Terrace. More than 175 eligible faculty members
expressed interest in the homes. Due to the high demand,
priority was given to Academic Council faculty who had
never owned a home in the Bay Area. In August, the last
available Olmsted Terrace home was sold.
The development,which consists of two-story,three- and
four-bedroom homes, includes amenities designed exclu-
sively for faculty. Such amenities include studies in every
home located near the front door so students and col-
leagues can easily visit faculty without disturbing other fam-
ily members. Additionally, the homes have high speed
SUNet access to allow faculty members to work at home, as
well as designated parking for guests.
“We worked with a faculty focus group early on to figure
out the design and program of the homes,” Griego said.
“They are definitely targeted to faculty, with a goal of max-
imizing value for the faculty with every single decision.”
The development boasts a clustered design where homes
share courtyards and jogging paths. The homes are

At ERs,a dose of prevention
Stanford study finds most ERs
offer form of preventative care
By JULIA BROWNELL
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
A recent study from Stanford School of Medicine
has found that during a trip to the emergency room,
you may very well receive a dose of preventive medi-
cine.
Offering the first comprehensive picture of pre-
ventive care in U.S. emergency departments, the study
revealed that a striking 90 percent of emergency de-
partments (EDs) offer such services.
Lead author Mucio “Kit” Delgado, M.D., a post-
doctoral scholar at Stanford’s Center for Primary
Care and Outcomes Research, views this high per-
centage as a symptom of a deeper problem within the
U.S. healthcare system: lack of access to primary care
services.
“[The findings] point to the fact that we need to
improve our health care system so that patients can
get primary care in other places,” Delgado, who is also
an emergency room physician at Stanford Hospital,
said.“It’s a symptom that things aren’t working out as
they should.”
The study surveyed the directors of 350 randomly
as the Student Activities Advisory Board, the Bicycle
Safety Committee and the Graduate Housing Advisory
Committee, among others, about their plans for the up-
coming school year.
The council moved on to discuss a proposed new meal
plan Stanford Dining has designed specifically for gradu-
ate students. Advertised as the “apartment meal plan,”
the program in the fall quarter offers five meals a week
and $50 in Cardinal Dollars for $571.

O
n Nov. 2, California might just become the
envy of Bob Marley fans across the country.
Proposition 19, a measure that proposes le-
galization of marijuana possession for adults
21 and over, has blazed up more emotional
reactions than iPod lighter apps at a Palo Alto High
School dance.
Many Stanford students view Proposition 19 — which
is slated for the Nov. 2 California statewide ballot — as a
natural step in light of California’s budget issues, growing
cultural acceptance of marijuana and the dangerous as-
pects of many currently legal drugs, such as alcohol and
OxyContin.
“I think it’s really exciting that California might take
this step to be more responsible with substance abuse is-
sues,” said Brian Anderson, a Stanford medical student
who donated money to Yes on Proposition 19.
Fifteen states currently support legal medical marijua-
na — with Washington D.C. recently joining the list —
but California stands poised to be the first state to legalize
personal,recreational use.Proposition 19 would allow for
regulation and taxation of marijuana much like alcohol
today.
Driving under the influence, selling to minors, using in
public or smoking in the presence of minors would remain
prohibited.
“As someone involved in medicine I think this is not
just a political thing but a medical thing, and having drugs
more regulated and hopefully from safer sources is a great
thing for public health,”Anderson said.

L ETTER FROM THE
Covering ROTC
he Stanford Daily editorial board on
T Wednesday called for the Reserve Of-
ficer Training Corps (ROTC) pro-
gram to return to Stanford even if the “don’t
ask, don’t tell” policy remains.
In a blog post, The Stanford Review ap-
plauded the editorial board for coming out in
support of ROTC’s return.We appreciate the
mention. However, it is worth setting the
record straight about something the blogger
wrote:“For a long time,The Stanford Review
was the only campus publication and one of
the few student-driven voices reporting on
ROTC at Stanford and calling for its return.”
The Daily has covered ROTC and its ab-
sence at Stanford for decades. The paper’s
archives contain all its ROTC and anti-war
movement coverage from the 1960s and
1970s, and anyone may read those fascinating
accounts in the Green Library Media and
Microtext Center or at the Lorry I. Lokey
Stanford Daily Building upon request.
More recently, in October 2001,The Daily
reported on Stanford students participating
in the program at other schools while nation-
al interest in ROTC grew post-Sept. 11.
Emeritus Prof. Ronald Hilton wrote to The
Daily about historic clashes over ROTC at
the University that year, too.
In 2003, The Daily covered the College
Republicans’ campaign to bring ROTC back
to Stanford and profiled some of the 30 stu-
dents who were serving that year. The edito-
rial board wrote against the program’s return
and The Daily ran guest columns for and
against the program.
S ENT F ROM M Y I P HONE
I Can’t Hear You
omeday, I hope to be that crotchety old
S man who yells at the kids next door to
“turn it down!” Why? Because it means
I can still hear their music.
Deafening music at some college parties is
one of the many assaults on hearing in our
world. We compress audio into mp3s, cutting
away the high fidelity. We inject little head-
phones into our ears, blasting over the
sounds of the outside world.And when we go
partying, the sound guy jams up the levels as
if the people down the street want to dance
too. The sonic world is vast and I don’t want
to lose any perception of it due to an effluvial
loudspeaker one Friday night.
I have nothing against parties themselves.
The “dazed and confused” atmosphere is its
own world of fun. It’s dark, late, hot and full
of intoxicated people squished in together at-
tempting to dance. The fortissimo fits in with
the rest of the package.
But I don’t understand why, when creat-
ing those dens of semi-hedonism, we need to
use quite that level of volume. It would be
just as fun with the sound turned down a lit-
tle. That marginal extra 10 dB isn’t impera-
tive for a rager. It will still be dark and crowd-
ed.You’ll still be intoxicated and you can still
make a “bad” decision and tell the story the
next morning.And let’s face it: you’re proba-
bly too busy to notice that the music is qui-
eter anyway.
For a modicum of technical expertise: what
does a Google search tell this non-bio major
about noise-induced hearing loss? Basically,
the louder the atmosphere, the quicker you
can experience lasting damage. Pretty obvi-
ous.Workplace safety rules don’t let you work
in an environment with sound at 110 dB for
longer than 30 minutes, a level often attrib-
uted to rock concerts. So why save our ears in
the workplace only to kill them at home?
Granted, 110 dB is a rather specific level.
Loudness at a party can depend on all kinds
of things: distance from speakers, reflectivity
of the walls, how long you stay.You’d have to
carry around a decibel meter to get a true
reading, and the level of harm can still vary
from person to person. But the general prin-
ciple still stands: don’t linger too long at loud
levels, especially aggregated across all the
people in the room.
Some might disagree with my general as-
sessment. It’s not like we’re firing guns in our
ears and going deaf. If there’s some hearing
loss,it’s at frequencies that aren’t usually detri-
mental to regular life.Maybe you’ll have to ask
your friend to speak up a little when you’re
older, but that will probably happen anyway.

The sonic world is

to lose any
perception of it due

Except that argument just doesn’t fly for me,
especially as a musician. The subtleties of
sound at high-fidelity levels are too delicious to
give up. If parties gradually made you lose the
ability to taste chocolate, would you go?
Others might also criticize, saying your
hearing shouldn’t be the DJ’s responsibility.
We partygoers should self-regulate and not
stick around on the dance floor past a point
where it might muffle our brains’ micro-
phones. But doesn’t it seem a bit sick to draw
people into something and then hurt them?
If we want to really cultivate an awesome
music scene on campus, we need to start by
maintaining our ability to even experience it
with our ears. I’m a big supporter of parties,
concerts, iPods and wailing away on a drum
set. But the volume doesn’t need to go to 11.
If you’re playing some tunes, keep the max at

Yes, you read that correctly. Our once-

I remember coming here as a freshman

this team. Half of our current student body

No. 1 women face
tough Oregon teams
By KATHERINE KNOX
The No.1 Stanford women’s volleyball
team (12-0, 2-0 Pac-10) returns to Maples
Pavilion this weekend to host Oregon State
(8-8, 1-1) and No. 11 Oregon (12-0, 2-0).
Stanford’s conference home opener pits
the squad against the unranked Beavers for
the teams’ 56th matchup in Pac-10 history.
The Cardinal has been nothing short of
dominant in the series, winning all 55
matches to date.
Oregon State split against the Washing-
ton schools last weekend to open up its reg-
ular season.The Beavers come to Palo Alto
fresh off a win at home against rival Wash-
ington State.
The match will yield a battle at the net,as
OSU currently leads the Pac-10 in blocks
on the season,while Stanford tops the chart
in overall kills. Beaver sophomore middle
blocker Ashley Eneliko ranks second in the
Pac-10 in blocks, garnering 1.23 per game.
Freshman middle blocker Mona Kressl also
ranks ahead of Stanford’s block leader,red-
shirt junior Stephanie Browne.
On the offensive end, Stanford senior
outside hitter Alix Klineman ranks second
in the Pac-10 in kills this season, while OSU
senior outside hitter Jill Sawatzsky is
ranked sixth. Both players have at least
twice as many kills as any teammate, mak-
ing a showdown at the pins inevitable.
An aggressive net game is sure to rile up
the fans, especially the first true Cardinal

man class made its debut at Maples during

GAME NOTES: Stanford has never lost to the Beavers,
winning all 55 matches in the series. Oregon State
currently leads the Pac-10 in blocks. The Cardinal
ranks second in the conference in assists and kills.
“This weekend is really exciting for the
freshmen because we will get to experience
the feeling of playing in front of the student
body and all our fans,” said freshman out-
side hitter Rachel Williams.
All the teams competing in Maples this
weekend are coming off victories and each
is seeking to maintain a winning record
throughout conference play.
The Ducks come to the Bay after upset-
ting previously undefeated No. 7 Washing-
ton at home last weekend, beating the
Huskies for the first time in 10 years. Sitting
at No. 11, Oregon now lies on the verge of
its first top-10 ranking on the season.
Oregon’s rise in the NCAA rankings
can be partially attributed to an effective
service game.The Ducks top the Pac-10 in
aces — senior Heather Meyers is first and
sophomores Kat Fischer and Jocelyn
Levig place fourth and fifth, respectively.
This is the only team statistic for which
Stanford does not rank in the top three in
the conference.
Williams affirms that the team is “focus-
ing on perfecting the little things and
preparing as best [it] can.” Practices often
include situations that simulate serving
under pressure at zones on the court,as if to
target a specific passer or weaker location
in the lineup.
“Our main focus this season is to take a
step forward each week,” said senior libero
Gabi Ailes. “After the weekend, we take a
look at film from our matches and work on
our weaknesses until they become our
strengths.”
Luckily for the Card, its serve-receive
game is one of its strengths, an aspect which
may counteract the Ducks’ effective serv-
ing on Saturday night whether or not Stan-
ford can deliver from the service line.
As a top-ranked team, Oregon also
earns a bulk of its points at the pins. Meyers
and Fischer — who switch unpredictably
between the left and right sides, both within
and between points — rank sixth and sev-
enth in points earned per set, which speaks
to their ability to split the block. Both play-
ers, like Klineman, also frequently run an
aggressive back-row attack, making their
opponents liable for a variety of shots.
Additionally, Duck redshirt sophomore
outside hitter Alaina Bergsma earned a sea-
son-high 21 kills, scored 23 points and won
Pac-10 Player of the Week after her per-
formance against the Washington schools.
With at least three offensive threats on the
court at all times, the Cardinal blockers and
defenders will have their work cut out for
them.
Nonetheless,Stanford tops the Pac-10 in
assists and kills, ranks second in digs and
rounds out the top three in blocks.
Both teams enter the match undefeated,
posting identical records of 2-0 in the Pac-
10 and 14-0 on the season. Despite the Car-

I O
would be lying out of my teeth if I
told you that I’ve been remotely
following Major League Baseball
this year. I just learned that the
Braves are winning the NL Wild
Card race,and I recognized less than half
of the starters in the Red Sox lineup
three nights ago.
Thus, it seems pretty ridiculous that
I’d even attempt to discuss the AL Cy
Young race because 1) I hardly know
anything about it and 2) I don’t really
care.What I am aware of,however,is that
this year’s field is strong and a little weird.
There are five pitchers that could possi-
bly win the award that is annually given
to the best hurler: Boston’s John Lester
and Clay Buchholz, the Yankees’ C.C.
Sabathia,Tampa Bay’s David Price and
Seattle’s Felix Hernandez.
All of those pitchers are big-name
players oozing with skill and/or poten-
tial.Not one of them comes as that big of
a surprise, and all have posted pretty
spectacular numbers this season.
Here is where it gets strange.It seems
as if the race will come down to Sabathia,
Price and Hernandez. Sabathia and
Price bring pretty gaudy,but rather stan-
dard, numbers to the Cy Young table.
The Yankee is 21-7 with a 3.18 ERA and
197 strikeouts, and Price is 19-6 with a
2.73 ERA and 187 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, Felix Hernandez is just
13-12, but has an ERA of 2.27 and 232
freaking strikeouts.
We’re now in an age in sports where
statistics are more relevant than ever,
and individual talent can and should be
measured with numbers.The traditional
baseball experts are having trouble
wrapping their heads around a potential
Cy Young winner with just 13 victories
to his name and 12 losses. They see
Sabathia and Price, star pitchers on two
of the most dominant teams in baseball,
The Mariners are currently the only
team in all of baseball with fewer than
100 dingers (99). At 35 games under
.500, it’s pretty easy to see why Hernan-
dez has just 13 wins — one earned run is
too often not enough to seal a win.
My point here isn’t to advocate for
Hernandez — even though, with the
limited research I did for this column,
he’s the most deserving — but rather to
put to rest the conservative view that the
only stat that matters for a player in any
professional sport is winning.Taking an
athlete’s performance out of context to
decrease his perceptive value is com-
pletely unfair and is an antiquated
method for awarding honors.
Still, I have friends who wholeheart-
edly believe that the most important sta-
tistic for determining whether a player is
of Hall of Fame caliber is number of
championships won. They believe that
Robert Horry is a better basketball
player and more deserving of a vote into
Springfield than,say,a Reggie Miller.
Horry is a career 42.5 percent shoot-
er from the field and just 34 percent
from outside the arc.He averaged exact-
ly seven — SEVEN!!! — points per
game in just over 24 minutes of play.
Compared to Miller,who hit nearly half
of his field goals and 40 percent of his
threes while averaging 18 points per
game, Horry’s Hall of Fame credentials
are laughable.Sure,he hit some big shots
and has won seven titles,but those came
with some of the best teams ever. If you
had put me on the 2000 Lakers as the
12th man, they still would have won a
title. Let me remind you that in June of
2000 I was nine years old, less than five
feet tall and my favorite musical artist
was Eiffel 65.
The moral of the story is that regard-
less of how many rings Horry won, he
n Sept. 18, for the first
time in school history,
the No. 9 Stanford
football team wore
all-black uniforms in
its home game against Wake For-
est. Upon first glance, spectators
and fans were shocked to see the
Cardinal wearing a foreign color.
For some, the addition of a third
uniform was genius. For others, it
was a miserable failure.
A handful of the team’s veteran
players helped design the black
uniforms, which were provided by
Nike back in 2008. However, it was
not until the beginning of this sea-
son that head football coach Jim
Harbaugh offered the players the
opportunity to wear the new gear.
“Personally, I loved them,” said
sophomore linebacker Shayne
Skov.
The Stanford football team tra-
ditionally wears red jerseys with
white pants at home and either
white jerseys with red pants or all-
white uniforms when they play on
the road. Historically, it is uncom-
mon for teams to vary the colors of
their uniforms. It has, however, be-
come increasingly popular to cre-
ate color combinations that are
outside the norm.
With the new look came a re-
markable performance as Stanford
easily defeated Wake Forest, 68-24.
“Maybe it was the black uni-
forms,” joked redshirt sophomore
quarterback Andrew Luck.

about the new look, yet they all ac-
knowledged the new spirit in the re-
cently indomitable team.
“They’re horrible,” said Jenni
Ockelmann ‘11. “All the students
and spectators are out there in red
and white, and for some reason our
ing, the black could be a positive in-
dicator of what is to come.
“When you wear all black, you
have a different attitude,” Skov
said.
The players were energized as
they ran out of the tunnel in a mass
of black and lit up the stadium with
their newfound spirit. Though
cheering for the team in black was
unusual, the Red Zone did not miss
a step. Stanford football is making a
name for itself,and the stunning all-
black uniforms helped elevate its
“we mean business” identity.
“I loved the black uniforms,”
said sophomore running back Tyler
Gaffney.“I know some alumni may
not have liked them, but putting up
68 points, we can’t complain.”
Love it or hate it, the new look is
not here to stay. The Bootleg re-
ported that the all-black uniforms
will likely not be seen again this
year.
“Probably not this season,” Har-
baugh said.“We just prefer to wear
our standard uniforms in the con-
ference games, but I think we’ll
wear them again at some point.”
Harbaugh has been known to
refer to himself as a traditionalist,
so at least for now, the team will be
sporting its conventional uniforms.

game, Oct. 9 against rival USC.

I’ll be completely honest and say that
I don’t know diddly about sabermetrics.
WARP,WHIP and PERA sound more
to me like animal activist groups than
comprehendible measurements of a
player’s ability.
What I do know is this: In baseball,
you can’t win without scoring.The Rays
and the Yankees have no problem in this
department, combining for 1,633 runs
while smacking 158 and 198 home runs,
respectively. Even when Price and
Sabathia had off days,they could get the
run support necessary for wins. I prom-
ise I’m not trying to discount their sea-
sons in any way.It’s just that,in baseball,
scoring is a fundamental part of winning.
Crazy,right?
So what is Hernandez’s deal? The
wasn’t half the player that Reggie Miller
was.If you were to pick an NFL quarter-
back to build a historical fantasy team
around, would you choose Super Bowl
champion Trent Dilfer, or a loser like
Dan Marino? Is Ty Cobb multiple rungs
below David Eckstein on the greatest-
players-of-all-time ladder?
So give Felix Hernandez his props,
award him the Cy Young and get your
head out of the sand.This is 2010,and we
have the ability to analyze every
nanometer of a player’s performance.
Championship rings are the ultimate
teamgoal,but they shouldn’t be relied on
for determining individual ability.
After all, it’s not whether you win or
lose,it’s how you play the game.

MANAGING EDITOR
Stanford, like the rest of its Divi-
sion I compatriots, is allotted 85
scholarships to use for its football
program at any given time. With the
ability to secure such a wealth of tal-
ent with the promise of a free educa-
tion, it is often easy to forget about
the players who pay their own way
and hold down the team’s remaining
spots: the walk-ons.
Indeed, at some schools, they re-
main an afterthought.Redshirt fresh-
man Robbie Picazo, a walk-on, spoke
of stories he had heard of players who
never received game time, solely be-
cause of their scholarship status.
But Stanford prides itself on its
ability to recruit athletes who, for one
reason or another,fly under the radar
in high school. Two years ago, Direc-
tor of Football Administration Mike
Eubanks declared: “No successful
program can operate without a
strong walk-on program.” His state-
ment, said well before Stanford had
achieved a No.9 national ranking,has
proven to be prophetic.
Ryan and Griff Whalen — the
Cardinal’s No. 1 and No. 3 receivers,
respectively — as well as Nate
Whitaker, a Lou Groza Award candi-
date as Stanford’s kicker, and Zach
Nolan,the team’s errorless long snap-
per, came to The Farm without schol-
arships in hand. And the Cardinal’s
all-important scout teams — which
prepare the starters and top reserves
for the next opponent by mimicking
its schemes — are littered with walk-
ons,many of whom are recognized by
coach Jim Harbaugh publicly, and on
a weekly basis, for their practice per-
formances.
The road to prominence is certain-
ly not easy, but Harbaugh is clear:
walk-ons are not thought of different-
ly, or set at an inherent disadvantage
from the onset of their careers. The
thinking goes: If a player shows he
can contribute, he will contribute, re-
gardless of whether or not he has a
free ride.
“We look at walk-ons the same as
everybody else,” Harbaugh said.“We
go and get guys who are good football
players and then try to evaluate them.
There’s no different method.”
“Stanford is a lot different from
other places,” Picazo said. “Coach
Harbaugh treats you the same, and if
you can help the team,you’re going to
play. It’s a lot different from other
schools.”

“We have treated both the mar-

than if the greatest generation had
not won the Cold War,” Friedman
said.
Friedman also drew ties between
the price of oil and political oppres-
sion.
“‘Petrolist’ states are totally de-
pendent on oil for their GDP,” he
said. “As the price of oil goes down,
freedom goes up.”
The best solution to these prob-
lems is a sustainable energy system
or, as Friedman phrased it, “abun-
dant, cheap, clean, reliable electrons
— the next great global industry.”
Though popular sentiment holds
governments responsible for regu-
lating clean energy, “this is a prob-
lem that will be solved by innovators
and engineers, not regulators,”
Friedman said.
Coming closer to this goal of
widespread, sustainable energy was
the motivation behind the sympo-
sium, Benson said.
“A sustainable energy system is
gency medicine at Stanford Hospi-
tal, concurred that cost serves as a
primary determinant of services.
“When you’re in a resource-con-
strained environment, you have to
pick and choose,” he said in a state-
ment.
Delgado emphasized that al-
though these services help patients,
they may be misplaced. Preventive
care services can draw money and
affordable, accessible, secure and
protective of the environment,” she
said, adding that a goal of the sym-
posium is to “bring forward these
ideas and develop new approaches
to make energy more sustainable.”
Friedman compared global-scale
development of clean energy with
the tech revolution in the 1990s, dur-
ing which the developed world rap-
idly integrated the Internet into its
everyday life.
When the “green revolution”
runs its course, instead of living in
drastically different ways, “when we
win, we’re still going to have the
same light, heating and cooling and
mobility” with a better planet and
environment, he predicted.
Following Friedman’s speech, the
GCEP symposium focused on the
carbon cycle and how it informs peo-
ple about carbon dioxide emissions.
Throughout the symposium, speak-
ers and panel discussions comple-
mented posters and presentations
time away from patients arriving
with true emergencies, increasing
wait lines and costs.
“You have to balance that with
the fact that you’re mainly there to
provide acute care, and you can’t do
anything to compromise that mis-
sion.”

“From a societal perspective, we
really need to provide access to
everyone,” Benson said. “From an
economic perspective, energy needs
to be affordable to everyone.”
Friedman concluded by telling
students in the audience who wanted
to make a difference in the develop-
ment of clean energy to “get out of
Facebook and into somebody’s
face.”
“I’m kind of an old fart, but . . .
politics in this country is still analog,”
he added. “We need to be the regen-

In the past two years in particular,
the walk-on program has flourished.
If a viewer were to watch the second
half of Stanford’s win over Wake For-
est, for example, he or she would have
seen a field filled with redshirt fresh-
man walk-ons from the recruiting
class of 2009. There was receiver Sam
Knapp making his first career recep-
tion.There was running back Andrew
Stutz scoring a touchdown on just his
second carry. There was linebacker
Brent Etiz jumping the snap count
with regularity, and recording three
tackles, including one for a loss. All
were seeing their first collegiate ac-

Muagututia, a safety, was rewarded

For most, playing time is fleeting.
Knapp had no illusions of grandeur.
“Whenever you’re third string,
you’re always watching the score-
board and hoping,” he said. “In terms
of playing time, you don’t really ex-
pect any, so any that you get is a huge
bonus.”
That said, the walk-ons are im-
mensely serious about their prepara-
tions. Although those are mainly for
the benefit of the starters, their scout
team work has them ready should
playing time should arise.
Etiz provides a fine example.
Against the Demon Deacons, he
seemed to be in the backfield as soon
as the ball was snapped. He attributed
that success to studying Wake Forest’s
silent count on film and during the
game.
“I timed it up, and the pieces came
into place,” he said. “We take a lot of
pride in our work;it means a lot to us.”
That collective mentality was one
that the class established as soon as it
came to campus.
“We definitely came in and bond-
ed instantly,” Knapp said. “We have a
really strong class.”
For his part, Harbaugh recognizes
the ability of this particular walk-on
group.
“There’s no question that last
year’s class was the best we’ve had,”
he said.

grated into the galleries in the new
Wing of the Art of the Americas. Ad-
ditionally, from 2008 to 2010, she
taught a course on modern Mexican
art at the Massachusetts College of
Art as an adjunct lecturer.
Mitchell earned her Ph.D. from
UC-Santa Barbara in 2006. Before
beginning her graduate studies, she
was the 1997-1999 Lynn and Philip A.
Straus Curatorial Intern in the Fogg
Art Museum’s Print Department at
Harvard University.
Mitchell joins four other curators at
the Cantor Arts Center, each with ex-
pertise in a respective area.Aside from
drawings, prints and photographs, the
collections include: European art, arts
of Africa and the Americas, modern
and contemporary art and Asian art.In
total, the Center houses over 30,000
objects spanning 5,000 years, from an-
cient Egypt to the modern day.

an option closer to home.
“I think you should try to work
with Ray’s because that’s where grad
students eat,” said Krystal St. Julien, a
graduate student in biochemistry.
Ray’s Grill is in the Graduate Com-
munity Center on east campus.
ASSU executives Angelina Car-

joined the meeting with an update on
upcoming programming. They invit-
ed the graduate students to the “Fall
into Health” event slated for Friday
in White Plaza. Currently working to-
gether to draft a revamped sexual
health survey which Vaden Health
Center will release later in the quar-
ter, the group discussed the possibili-
ty of offering two iPads as prizes to
encourage student participation.
“This information will be ultra-
helpful and it will be really important
in terms of research for these issues,”
said Cardona.
Opinions differed on whether of-
fering one iPad or several smaller
prizes at the same cost would be more
effective at boosting student respons-
es, but the group saved the discussion
for another day and ultimately ap-
proved $550 for the prizes, roughly
the cost of a basic iPad.

one will be better in the long run.”

dinal posting a 47-3 historical record
against the Ducks, the teams split
their last two meetings as each won on
its home court in 2009 conference
play.
Home-court advantage is histori-
cally significant in this matchup —
Stanford has not lost to Oregon in
Maples Pavilion since 1989.
“We are coming off of playing the
past four out of five weekends on the
road,”Ailes said.“Playing on the road
comes with many challenges — travel
time wearing down bodies, playing in
difficult atmospheres with hostile
crowds, and adjusting to time zone
changes. We are looking forward to
playing in front of our home crowd.”
Stanford takes on Oregon State on
Friday and Oregon on Saturday. Both
matches are set to start at 7 p.m. at
Maples Pavilion.
