The greatest season in Stanford
football history is complete.
The Cardinal capped its his-
toric run with a 40-12 dismantling
of No. 13 Virginia Tech (11-3, 8-0
ACC) in last nights Discover Or-
ange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Fla.
No. 4 Stanford (12-1, 8-1 Pac-10)
will finish the season with the most
wins in program history, a far cry
from its 1-11 record in 2006.
Very few times in life does
anybody get a chance to be a
champion at something and be an
Orange Bowl champion, Stan-
ford head coach Jim Harbaugh
said. Thats going to down in the
history of college football. We
started the season wanting to be
champions.
Stanford won the game in the
second half, when it outplayed the
Hokies on both sides of the ball.
Entering the locker room at half-
time, the score stood at 13-12 in
favor of Stanford, and the game
looked destined for a close finish.
However, the Cardinal began to
pull away with its first drive of the
second half, when it scored on a
one-yard touchdown run from
senior fullback/linebacker Owen
Marecic, and never looked back.
The second half had a point
explosion,Harbaugh said.There
were no mistakes from there on
out, from halftime until the end of
the game. Everybody was just on
point and executed extremely
well.
We just went back to the fun-
damentals, said redshirt junior
tight end Coby Fleener. We kept
plugging away and we started to
make some plays.
The offensive highlight of Stan-
fords second half was a drive with
around six minutes left in the third
quarter. After junior safety De-
lano Howell intercepted a pass
from Virginia Tech quarterback
Tyrod Taylor on the Stanford
three-yard line, Stanfords offense
went 97 yards down the field for a
touchdown in exactly two plays
and 29 seconds. Sophomore run-
ning back Stepfan Taylor, the
teams leading rusher, broke a 56-
yard run from the three-yard line
on the drives first play, and red-
shirt sophomore quarterback
Luck threw a deep 41-yard bomb
to a wide-open Fleener in the cen-
ter of the field for a touchdown.
The score put Stanford up, 26-12,
and put all the momentum square-
ly on the Cardinal sideline.
I thought it was huge, Luck
said, speaking about the drive.
Any time backed up in your own
end zone as an offense, youve got
a little bit of the hairs on the back
of your neck standing up because
you know how precarious that po-
sition can be. And to go from one
end zone to the other end zone in
two plays, its huge.
Luck, who won the Orange
Bowl MVP award, finished with
287 yards and four touchdowns on
18-of-23 passing. Fleener was by
far his favorite target for the game;
Luck found him for six receptions,
173 yards and three touchdown
catches. The tight ends as a unit
were huge for Stanford as they
comprised three of Lucks top five
targets.
Stanfords running game was
also instrumental in winning the
Orange Bowl. The Cardinal
amassed 247 yards on the ground,
including 118 yards from Stepfan
Taylor and another 99 yards from
senior Jeremy Stewart, who had
been sidelined for much of the sea-
son by an injury sustained in Stan-
fords opener. The Cardinal offen-
sive line opened up big holes for its
running backs, leading to several
long runs.
I think the O-line plays with a
lot of pride, Luck said. They sort
of kept at it, chipped away, kept
grinding and holes really started
opening up.
As the offense rolled up points
in the second half, the defense did
an impressive job of containing

The Stanford football team celebrates an emphatic win over Virginia Tech in the 2011 Orange Bowl. The Cardinal finished the season 12-1, a far
cry from its 1-11 season in 2006. The game marked the final time that Jim Harbaugh would take the field as head coach of the reborn program.

At an 11:35 p.m. EST press con-
ference on Sunday night, President
Barack Obama confirmed the death
of al Qaeda leader Osama bin
Laden. The presidents announce-
ment came nearly 10 years after the
Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin
Towers and the Pentagon.
I can report to the American
people and to the world that the
United States has conducted an op-
eration that killed Osama bin
Laden,Obama said.
This development is the latest in a
decade-long endeavor to track the
perpetrators of 9/11 and stymie ter-
rorist attacks against the United
States and its allies. Soon after as-
suming the presidency, Obama
tasked CIA director Leon Panetta
with capturing or killing bin Laden.
A promising break came last August,
when the intelligence community re-
ceived information indicating that
the al Qaeda leader had taken cover
within a compound deep inside of
Pakistan,Obama said.
Finally, last week, I determined
that we had enough intelligence to
take action and authorized an oper-
ation to get Osama bin Laden and
bring him to justice,he said.
At my direction, the United
States launched a targeted operation
against that compound in Abbot-
tabad, Pakistan, Obama said. A
small team of Americans carried out
the operation with extraordinary
courage and capability. No Ameri-
cans were harmed.They took care to
avoid civilian casualties. After a fire-
fight, they killed Osama bin Laden
and took custody of his body.
The news of bin Ladens death
prompted widespread reactions
across the country, with crowds of
people congregating in Times
Square in New York City and in
front of the White House in Wash-
ington, D.C.
Among members of the Stanford
community, the news also carried
great significance.
The demise of Osama bin Laden
is a tremendous victory for the
American people, professor of po-
litical science Condoleezza Rice said
in a statement. Rice served as secre-
tary of state under former President
George W. Bush and is a former
provost of the University.
We are all indebted to the
American military and intelligence
community for their skill and dedica-
tion,she said.
Political science professor Scott
Sagan said bin Ladens demise sig-
naled a major breakthrough in the
effort to dismantle the al Qaeda net-
work, but urged for caution.
I think this is a major step in re-
ducing al Qaedas effectiveness,
Sagan said.This is a great victory for
the United States and for all coun-
tries that have been in conflict with al
Qaeda.
The fear now, however, is that bin
Ladens death could precipitate re-
taliatory acts by the al Qaeda net-
work.
I think at the same time that vig-
ilance is something we will have to
have in the short run to be sure that
remaining units of al Qaeda around
the world do not lash out at us in des-
peration,Sagan said.
Students across campus exhibit-
ed spontaneous displays of patriot-
ism. Chants of U-S-A! U-S-A!
were heard in the areas near Meyer
and Green libraries and around
Hoover Tower and Old Union. Nu-
merous individuals posted celebra-
tory status updates on Facebook and
Twitter.
Though many rejoiced at the
news of bin Ladens demise, some
students expressed dismay at the
manner in which their peers chose to
celebrate his death.
I was very uncomfortable with
the way people are glorifying the
death of another human being,said
Laura Groenendaal 14, who is origi-
nally from New York. It reminded
me of after 9/11 all those images
on TV of people celebrating the
Twin Towers falling . . . it just re-
minded me of a version of that exact
same dehumanization. It was dis-
comforting.
Nathan Golshan 13 had similar
sentiments.
While Osama bin Laden was a
very detestable person and did hor-
rific things, I dont think celebrating
a mans death is ever an appropriate
reaction, he said. People need to
stop and think about the atrocities
the U.S. has committed in the
process of searching for Osama bin
Laden and in the process of trying to
eliminate al Qaeda.
Both students commented on
Obamas address to the nation.
The gist of the speech came off
as the greatest achievement of
Americas foreign policy in the last
decade has been killing a man, which
just sounds very, very negative to
me,Golshan said.
Groenendaal also criticized the
overall tone of Obamas rhetoric.
Its so easy to forget our com-
mon humanity and the fact that a
human being has died, she said.
The reason people are celebrating
his death is that he trivialized human
life. Arent we doing the exact same
thing?
Alex Alvarado 12, who is cur-
rently studying at Stanford in Wash-
ington, offered a differing opinion.
He noted that there was a lot of pa-
triotic sentiment and a lot of hap-
pinessat the nations capital.
It was just really awesome, Al-
varado said. We all saw it on televi-
sion and ran over to the White House
to be in the middle of the vibe.
For the families of 9/11 victims,
bin Ladens death may also bring a
measure of closure.
We can say to those families who
have lost loved ones to al Qaedas
terror: justice has been done,
Obama said.

Kappa Sigma appeal rejected
By AN LE NGUYEN and
ZACH ZIMMERMAN
EDITORS
Vice Provost for Student Affairs
Greg Boardman declined Kappa
Sigmas appeal on Monday, uphold-
ing Residential Educations deci-
sion to revoke the fraternitys hous-
ing for the coming academic year.
The chapter will have a chance to
apply for reinstatement in January
2012 as part of a formal relevancy
presentation to a review panel.
Following Dean of Residential
Education Deborah Golders
March 11 decision to strip Kappa
Sigma of its housing, fraternity
members were given approximately
a weeks time to present their case
for an appeal. Boardman stressed
that the appeal was not intended to
reintroduce specific incidents that
led to Golders ruling, but to review
the process as a whole.
The grounds for appeal were
based on whether the process was
unfair or if there were new facts to
consider that werent presented
earlier, he said. They did not pro-
vide that evidence to me to overrule
Dean Golders decision.
Boardman did make one
amendment to ResEds initial rul-
ing. Instead of applying for housing
as part of a larger pool of unhoused
organizations, Kappa Sigma will be
given priority, allowing the chapter
to make the necessary changes with
an elevated possibility of reclaiming
its residence.
If they make the progress we
expect them to make, they should
be given the first opportunity to
move back into their house,
Boardman said. Its going to take a
lot of hard work. It also requires
strong leadership and strong sup-
port.
When we ask them what Kappa
Sig stands for, we want them to have
an answer that is robust and com-
plex, Golder added.
The University is slated to speci-
fy the conditions on April 22.
Everyone would have liked to
see a different outcome, and we
have worked tremendously hard for
another one to take place, wrote
Kappa Sigma President Brian
Barnes 12 in an email to The Daily.
Unfortunately, the University felt
it was in all parties best interest for
this hiatus to occur.
Boardmans decision came as a
particularly strong disappointment
to the younger crop of Kappa Sigma
members.
Our house has been working
very hard for the past several
months to better the culture of the
fraternity and to take steps to create
the house that both the University
and the Kappa Sigma members
want,said Malcolm McGregor 13.
While members may disagree
with the Universitys ruling, they
are committed to working whole-
heartedly to prove that the frater-
nity should eventually return to its
house, McGregor said.
Kappa Sigmas current resi-
dence will be used as a Row house
in the 2011-12 academic year, open-
ing up approximately 55 new spaces
for upperclassmen, the majority of
which will be considered pre-
ferred slots. According to Golder,
members of Kappa Sigma will be
prohibited from drawing into the
facility.
The converted house will take
on the name 1025 Campus Drive,
indicative of its street address.
Staffing positions will be filled using
this years unmatched applicants.
We have vacancies that pop up
all the time, so well go back to the
list of folks that applied, and well
use that to drive and define our
process, Golder said. We have
tons and tons of people that are
great applicants, but there just
werent enough jobs to go around.
Even with short-term plans in
place following Kappa Sigmas re-
moval, members of the fraternity
are optimistic they will return after
a one-year hiatus. Barnes said he
was confident that the chapter
could successfully work with Resi-
dential Education to meet their
proposed criteria to regain their
house in the fall of 2012.
The beginnings of such an effort
have already been in the works.
As part of the appeal that we
submitted, we laid out several
things that weve already done to
improve the culture of the house,
McGregor said.
Moving forward, Kappa Sigma
will look to foster a sense of com-
mon identity.
In our Kappa Sigma chapter
bylaws, we have a mission state-
ment and part of that mission state-
ment is to further scholarship, lead-
ership, community service, the de-
velopment of social graces and the
development of cultural aware-
ness, McGregor said. Thats
something that has always been
there, but in recent years, we may
have lost sight of that.
I think in our future actions next
year, the things that were doing are
upholding those goals, he added.
Barnes echoed these sentiments,
stating that current fraternity mem-
bers look forward to exceeding
the Universitys expectations as
they strive to regain their house.

Faculty Senate votes yes on ROTC return
By KATE ABBOTT
DEPUTY EDITOR
Following more than a year of research and debate,
the Faculty Senate voted on Thursday 28-9, with three
abstentions, to extend an invitation for ROTC to return
to Stanford.The vote effectively ends the 40-year ban of
the program on campus.
We believe that the majority of students support
the return of ROTC, and a substantial minority oppos-
es it, said Committee Chair Ewart Thomas, professor
of psychology.
No member of our committee objects to the mini-
mizing of violence, he added. We offer our recom-
mendation in favor of minimizing the military-civilian
gap.
The ad hoc committee, established last March, re-
leased its report last week announcing its support for a
Stanford ROTC program. ROTC was initially voted off
campus in 1970 after concerns of its academic merit
were raised. All ROTC programs were gone by 1973.
The report initially consisted of six clauses that
served as the cornerstone of the committees recom-
mendation, including the creation of a Stanford ROTC
Committee that would evaluate military professors and
courses, as well as serving as a mediator between the
University and the military.
Thomas presented the ad hoc committees report to
the Faculty Senate; debate then proceeded for more
than an hour.
Professor William Perry 49 M.S. 55 presented the
initial proposal to investigate Stanfords relationship
with the military last year. He reminded the Faculty
Senate that they would not be debating ROTC if Con-
gress had not recently repealed dont ask, dont tell.
That repeal would not have happened without sig-
nificant support from senior military officials in the
U.S., he said. Their enlightened views are obviously a
product of their education. Stanford has the opportuni-
ty to help create military leaders that will later make
these enlightened decisions. This is the single most im-
portant chance you will have to seize that opportunity.
We can no longer free-ride on the public good
known as national security, added history professor
David Kennedy 63.
ASSU President Michael Cruz 12 distributed a
packet of compiled materials covering a range of stu-
dent opinions about ROTC. He spoke on behalf of the
student body and urged the Senate to vote no.
ROTC does not align with the vision of this univer-
sity,Cruz said. Currently, Stanford is one of the safest
communities for transgender students in the world. I
want to make sure all Stanford students feel safe
enough to call this place home as well.
A rejection of ROTC is a rejection of exclusion,he
added.
Imani Franklin 13, who served as one of two student
representatives on the ad hoc committee, spoke to the
Faculty Senate about why she supported the return of
an ROTC program.
I came onto this committee knowing little to noth-
ing about military lifestyles, she said. Most of my
knowledge of the military came from watching Pearl
Harbor. That is not okay.
A large portion of the student body is entirely re-
moved from a piece of the American population that
serves in the military, she said.
Franklin said that by allowing ROTC back onto
Tyrod Taylor, the ACC offensive
player of the year. Throughout the
game, but especially in the second
half, the defense dominated the line
of scrimmage it seemed like
Tyrod Taylor had Cardinal blitzers
in his face on almost every play.
Stanford successfully limited his
running ability, forcing him to
scramble in the backfield and make
tough throws. For the game, Stan-
ford sacked Tyrod Taylor eight
times, including three from sopho-
more linebacker Shayne Skov.
We knew Tyrod would try to
extend plays with his legs so if guys
were missing [tackles] we knew
guys would have to be there to
cover him,Skov said. We just had
to swarm to the ball and play well
on defense.
We were trying to cage him in,
we really were, Harbaugh said.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes it
didnt. He is such an elusive player.
Overall, Stanford limited the
Hokies to 288 offensive yards, in-
cluding just 66 rushing yards. It also
forced Virginia Tech into eight
punts, compared to three from the
Cardinal.
For Virginia Tech, the loss
marked a disappointing end to the
season. The Hokies went undefeat-
ed in the ACC after losing its first
two games of the season.
It was frustrating, Tyrod Tay-
lor said. But youve got to bounce
back and look forward. [Stanford]
just outplayed us in all parts of the
game today.
After the game, the conversa-
tion turned to the future of Har-
baugh and Luck at Stanford. Har-
baugh could bolt the Farm in the
coming weeks for a more high pro-
file coaching job, either with an
NFL team or at the University of
Michigan, and some analysts be-
lieve that his departure is immi-
nent. Stanford has indicated it of-
fered Harbaugh a raise from his
current salary.
Meanwhile, Luck is eligible to
declare for the NFL Draft as a red-
shirt sophomore, and is currently
projected as the No. 1 overall pick
by several scouting services, includ-
ing ESPN.
Both declined to comment after
the game on whether or not they
plan to remain at Stanford for next
season.
I dont mean to be rude, but Id
rather not address that subject any-
more,Luck said when asked a sim-
ilar question later.
For now, Harbaugh, Luck and
the rest of the Stanford football
team will just savor this victory, and
reflect on what it means for the pro-
gram.
Were going to enjoy this mo-
ment and these players that have
really created a bond, a brother-
hood,Harbaugh said. They really
love to play, they love to win, they
love playing for each other. I think
even more so than they love playing
the game, they like playing for each
other and winning for each other.

Stanford explores
NYC tech campus
By KATE ABBOTT AND
ELIZABETH TITUS
SENIOR STAFF WRITERS
University President John Hen-
nessy announced during yesterday
afternoons Faculty Senate meeting
that Stanford is investigating the in-
vitation to establish a New York City
campus focused on applied science
and technology.
The University is exploring the
possibility, said spokeswoman Lisa
Lapin ahead of Thursdays meeting.
New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg announced in Decem-
ber that the city was seeking a
world-class university to partner
with and build an engineering school
on public land. The idea grew from
the citys concern over attracting
technology companies and jobs to
New York, which lacks a top gradu-
ate school in engineering.
This is sort of a first for us,
Lapin said.The idea is still in the ex-
ploration stage,she added.
I think remembering that we are
a university that serves this nation,
and I think we need to take a page
out of the Presidents State of the
Union address, Hennessy said
when asked about the advantages of
such a center. I think the challenge
in the U.S. is to create more centers
of innovation and vibrancy, which
this university is qualified to under-
take.
U.S. News and World Report
ranked Stanfords engineering
school second behind M.I.T. in 2010.
The schools doctoral programs in
computer science, electrical engi-
neering and mechanical engineering
boast top rankings by the National
Research Council, according to the
schools website.
Hennessy stressed that this
would not be a satellite campus op-
erating similarly to those hosted
abroad with typically one revolv-
ing faculty member present each
quarter but an actual second
Stanford campus.
In addition to Stanfords 8,180-
acre home campus, the University
maintains Hopkins Marine Station
in Monterey, Calif., a program for
undergraduates in Washington,
D.C., and 11 overseas programs.
He said that initially, there would
be at least computer science and
electrical engineering departments
that would admit faculty and stu-
dents in an integrated fashion with
the University.
These departments would serve
as building blocks from which the
campus could expand over time.The
initial concept envisions hosting 25
faculty members, 125 Ph.D. students
and 250 masters students from the
School of Engineering and the
Graduate School of Business, ac-
cording to a press release shared at
the meeting.
According to Hennessy, much of
the response thus far has been posi-
tive, but officials will discuss fi-
nances, academic considerations and
other factors before reaching a final
decision.
The time is coming when univer-
sities will be in more than one loca-
tion . . . and I believe the institution
that figures out how to make it work
and make it work well will be in a sig-
nificantly valued position, Hen-
nessy said.
A team from Stanford, along with
representatives from approximately
15 other universities, attended an in-
formational meeting with city offi-
cials on Feb. 1 to learn more about
the project. Hennessy reiterated that
this project is very much a competi-
tion.
Official expressions of interest
are due by Mar. 16.
Contact Kate Abbott @kmabbott@
stanford.edu and Elizabeth Titus at
emtitus@stanford.edu.
This is sort
of a first
for us
LISA LAPIN, University
Spokeswoman
campus, the University could hu-
manize the people who fight our
wars.
A huge part of our education at
Stanford is to expose to different
ways of life, nationally and global-
ly, she said. Military perspectives
have been invisible on this campus.
Fourteen students currently par-
ticipate in ROTC programs
through cross-town agreements
with Santa Clara University, San
Jose State and UC-Berkeley. They
do not receive course credit for
their required military science
classes or physical training.
Some professors asked the com-
mittee to clarify specific aspects of
its recommendation, including to
whom ROTC commanders would
report. The committee has pro-
posed a program similar to those
found at MIT and Duke, where a
faculty committee reviews each po-
tential professor and evaluates the
content of potential military sci-
ence courses.
Later, an amendment was pro-
posed to ensure that ROTC cadets
chosen majors were not dictated by
their involvement in the program.
Political science professor Scott
Sagan, also a member of the com-
mittee, said that some students
chose to attend other universities
because of their ROTC offerings
and a return could make Stanford a
more viable option for prospective
students.
Some students do choose other
universities over Stanford who
offer on-campus ROTC programs,
he said.
Others expressed concern about
the implications of interpreting the
Universitys nondiscrimination pol-
icy in light of an endorsed ROTC
program.
With respect to dont ask, dont
tell, that goal is not yet accom-
plished nor irreversible, political
science professor Gary Segura said.
There is no evidence for any
palpable benefits to Stanford, he
added. Furthermore, it will always
be an asterisk on our nondiscrimi-
nation policy.
Graduate Student Council rep-
resentative Justin Brown echoed
this sentiment.
How large does a group of stu-
dents need to be so that they can
feel as though their civil rights are
acknowledged and protected? he
asked.
However, University general
counsel Debra Zumwalt said that
formal recognition of ROTC would
not violate the nondiscrimination
policy as it currently stands.
Our policy prevents against il-
legal discrimination, she ex-
plained. Based on all the informa-
tion we have, we do not see an ille-
gal discrimination and [ROTC]
does not violate our policy.
Additionally, Thomas said that a
small group of members of the
transgender community told the
committee they would not partici-
pate in ROTC even if the ban on
openly serving were lifted.
Regardless, Brown said that
even the debate over the last
months has caused significant stress
for many of the parties involved.
I have never seen the student
body so divisive, he said.
It is reasonable to predict,
many members of the community
would regard this as the correct de-
cision, while others will see it as a
mistake, Thomas said. Our re-
search over the last year shows that
this program will prevail into the fu-
ture in shaping a more vibrant com-
munity.
The Faculty Senate ultimately
voted in favor of the committees
recommendation with three addi-
tional amendments, including a
condemnation of the militarys dis-
criminatory policies against trans-
gender people.
Our support for reestablishing
the ROTC program should not be
misconstrued, read a joint state-
ment released by President John
Hennessy and Provost John
Etchemendy. We understand the
concerns about the militarys con-
tinuing discrimination against
transgender people, and we share
those concerns. But if the leader-
ship of the military is drawn from
communities that teach and prac-
tice true tolerance, change is more
likely to occur. The U.S. military has
demonstrated an ability and will-
ingness to change over time, and we
believe Stanford can contribute by
providing leaders capable of help-
ing create that change.

Dalai Lama talks China,
democracy with students
By DEVIN BANERJEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Fang Zheng was 22 years old
when a Chinese tank ran over his
legs. It was 1989, and he was one of
tens of thousands of protesters in
Tiananmen Square rallying against
the governments repressive policies.
On Thursday afternoon, in a
quiet, shady courtyard of the Stan-
ford Park Hotel in Menlo Park,
Zheng rolled his wheelchair up to a
microphone to ask Tenzin Gyatso,
the 14th Dalai Lama, what the
prospects of democracy are in the
country where Zheng lived for four
decades. Leaning forward in a red
and gold chair, the Dalai Lama lis-
tened closely, furrowed his brow and
then replied:I myself hope to return
to Beijing. But right now I cannot.
In a rare private event during his
four days in the Bay Area, the 75-
year-old leader of Tibet met with
Chinese and Tibetan students and
scholars after giving two public lec-
tures at Stanford the same day. For
70 minutes he spoke on the current
state of China, Tibet and India, inter-
twining the lessons of human com-
passion and religious harmony that
won him the Nobel Peace Prize in
1989 and made him one of the most
recognizable figures in the world.
Greeting a group of Chinese col-
lege students from Stanford and UC-
Berkeley in the front row with a tra-
ditional Chinese ni hao greeting,
the Dalai Lama immediately
launched into an assessment of
Chinas current political and social
state.
After 60 years, there is no civil
war or external threat to China, he
said. But they have kept certain
habits from the time when there was
threat: suppression, censorship and
too much control.
Chinese censorship, particularly
on the Web, has clouded the coun-
trys reputation this year, especially
after Internet giant Google tem-
porarily yanked its search engine
from China-based servers in March,
when it was found that Chinese
hackers had attacked Google and
other U.S. technology companies.
The Chinese media is also heavily
censored by the government.

According to the Stanford University De-
partment of Public Safety (SUDPS), multiple
shots were fired in the Lagunita parking lot at
7:17 p.m. on the evening of Saturday, May 14.
The authorities have since detained and ques-
tioned possible suspects and reported that no
one was injured.
The Stanford police alerted students via
email and text a little after 8 p.m., stating that
one outstanding suspect is a black male, aged
18 to 20, with a slender build and long dread-
locks. The suspect may have been armed with
a silver handgun.
In a subsequent announcement to the cam-
pus, the Stanford police said, it is unknown if
any of the gunshots were directed at an individ-
ual.Witnesses saw an individual firing several
gunshots into the parking lot asphalt before
fleeing the scene in a vehicle, said to be a white
Lexus.
An officer responding to the incident identi-
fied and pursued the vehicle in question. Dur-
ing the police chase, the vehicles two passen-
gers exited and made a run for the wooded area
bordered by Campus Drive, Quarry Road,
Palm Drive and El Camino Real. Police later
brought two individuals found in that vicinity
into custody for questioning.
The suspects were detained, questioned,
then released, said Stanford police sergeant
Chris Cohendet. The authorities are currently
trying to locate the firearm, he added.
A second vehicle involved in the incident is
described as an older car with two scissor doors
and large rims. The car is said to be burnt or-
ange, brown or gold in color. According to Co-
hendet, that vehicles driver is still at large, and
the police are still trying to follow up on this
lead.
The driver of the second vehicle was ob-
served waving a handgun, possibly silver in
color, out of the open window on the drivers
side of the vehicle as he left the scene on Santa
Teresa Street, read an alert by the Stanford
police. One witness described the driver wav-
ing the handgun as a black male wearing a base-
ball cap with a red brim.
At present, the investigation is still ongoing,
and a motivation for the incident has not yet
been determined.
Were still actively investigating it,Cohen-
det said.
He noted that there were a couple of events
on campus happening around the time of the
shooting, one of which was Blackfest, a concert
that took place at Roble Field, across the street
from the Lagunita parking lot.
I dont know if this was associated with that
event, but the shooting happened right after,
Cohendet said.
It is unclear whether the apprehended sus-
pects have any University affiliation,said Uni-
versity spokeswoman Lisa Lapin. At the mo-
ment, it appears that they dont.
While suspects have been detained and
questioned, the investigation is still an open
case and more information will be available in
the days to come.
We dont believe there is any threat or dan-
ger to the campus, Lapin said.
I think that it is an isolated incident, Co-
hendet concurred.
It is concerning when someone is carrying
a firearm on campus, he said. But I dont
think the motive of this was to hurt anyone.

Stanford will lower its standard of proof for
sexual-assault cases and open the appeals
process to alleged victims in response to
guidelines released to universities last week by
the Obama administration.
The swift development comes amid a
longer-term review of Stanfords judicial-af-
fairs process and a one-year pilot program
specifically focused on improving the Univer-
sitys handling of sexual-assault cases. It brings
Stanford into line with the vast majority of uni-
versities that use the lower standard for sexu-
al assault cases, an issue on which Stanford has
been an outlier for years, administrators said
Monday.
The changes are at the direction of the De-
partment of Educations Office for Civil Rights,
which is stepping up its implementation of Title
IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimina-
tion at schools that receive federal money.
We have to do better, and we have to do
better now,Vice President Joe Biden said last
Monday, speaking at the University of New
Hampshire about sexual-violence prevention
and the new guidelines.
The Office for Civil Rights said in sexual-
violence cases, preponderance of evidence is
the appropriatestandard of proof and that if
schools provide appeals processes, they must
do so for both parties. Those guidelines differ
from Stanfords former rules, which required
alleged victims to prove their cases beyond
reasonable doubt and which only provided an
appeals process for responding students
those accused of sexual misconduct.
Although both parties may now appeal,the
grounds for doing so will remain the
same, said Assistant Dean of Student
Life Jamie Pontius-Hogan.
Stanford President John Hennessy ap-
proved the changes to Stanfords process, ef-
fective immediately, after universities re-
ceived the new federal guidelines on April
4.
Governing the process for sexual-vio-
lence cases here is the Alternative Review
Process, a one-year pilot program set to end in
December. In addition to sexual assault, the
process and the new federal guidelines
cover sexual harassment, dating violence and
stalking. The Board on Judicial Affairs and
community members developed the pilot pro-
gram in hopes it would resolve sexual-vio-
lence cases more quickly and privately.
The federal directive means that no matter
the fate of the pilot programwhether the
University keeps, changes or does away with it
the lower standard of proof and new ap-
peals process will remain. Stanford must now
design its sexual-violence process around the
mandates, said Dean of Student Life Christine
Griffith.
I feel like we have been given a charge to
say, We really need to figure that out before
the end of December,Griffith said.
The changes will also remain in place re-
gardless of the conclusions of Stanfords in-
ternal review panel. Launched earlier this
school year, it is taking the first major look at
Judicial Affairs since the Student Judicial
Charter of 1997.
The standard of proof has been a specific
area of focus for the internal reviewers, who
are set to issue a report by the end of the school
year. Reviewers could count on one hand the
number of other uni-
versities they found
using the high be-
yond reasonable doubt
standard, which Stanford had had in place
since before 1997, Griffith said.
The Office for Civil Rights efforts come as
the office investigates allegations by 16 Yale
students who say their university is violating
Title IX and tolerating a hostile sexual envi-
ronment.
Nationwide, 20 percent of female college
students and 6 percent of male college stu-
dents will be victims of attempted or actual
sexual assault,according to the Department of
Education.
At Stanford from 2007 to 2009, an average
of about 11 forcible sexual offenses oc-
curred each year, according to police.
ASSU President Angelina Cardona 11
praised the changes after Boardman an-
nounced them Monday.
Lowering of the standard of proof is ab-
solutely crucial to the womens community,
Cardona said.
Survivors of sexual assault must not be de-
terred from the judicial system because of too
high a standard, she added.
Addressing womens issues was an early
focus of Cardonas term; she and former Vice

T
he last two weeks have been good to Condoleezza
Rice. On the political front, there was Osama bin
Laden. Last week, after President Obama an-
nounced the death of the former al-Qaeda leader,
Rice proudly stepped back into the media spot-
light, crediting the Bush administration her administration
for laying the groundwork for bin Ladens death.
Then theres the personal legacy. Two weeks ago, Rice
made a rare cameo appearance on NBCs comedy series 30
Rock,poking fun at herself as the spurned lover of high-pow-
ered GE executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin).
Rices torrid love affair with Jack surfaced in the season
one episode The Break Upwhen Jack coyly mentioned his
relationship with a high-ranking African American member
of the Bush administration.But with barely a vague sugges-
tion of phone sex and a handsome attache, the relationship
ended thanks to Jacks jealous suspicions of Condis flirty rela-
tionship with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
The real-life Rice described how she was slightly caught
off-guard to hear about her secret sitcom lover.
Yeah I was a little surprised,Rice said. I thought it was
a kind of funny, funny storyline.
Rice, who admits to being an infrequent viewer of 30
Rock,reassured us that Jack had nothing to worry about.
He didnt have to worry about that, ok?she laughed.
In its five seasons,30 Rockhas carved a niche for itself in
the primetime market with its eccentric antics and wacky sto-
rylines (check Liz Lemons recent comeuppance by a plastic
bag). It has also taken its fair share of playful jabs at the Bush
administration at one point, Jack leaves GE to go work for
the federal government only to discover the White House in
total shambles, replete with leaky ceilings and nary a working
pen in sight.
So a silly, fabricated romance between the two powerful
figures seemed like a natural extension of the shows charac-
teristic zaniness. Condi isnt Jack Donaghys only high-profile
lover the long list also includes Martha Stewart and show-
er-buddy Greta Van Susteren.
The former Secretary of State first heard about her alleged
paramour through an old co-worker.
She had seen this storyline develop about Alec Baldwin
and me and she said Gee wouldnt it be fun if you did a cameo
about it,Rice said.I said sure, sure, sure and somebody who
represents me got in touch with them.
Rice frequently fields offers for these kinds of appearances,
including a chance to compete on Dancing with the Stars
which she refused.
Thats maximum embarrassment to be on Dancing with
the Stars, but [30 Rock] kind of appealed to me because its
kind of a quirky show,she said.And I like Alec Baldwin and
I love Tina Fey.
Neither party initially put much effort into pursuing the ap-
pearance, so the idea languished for a year.
Then out of the blue, they came back and said,Gee wed
really like to do it next week or something,Rice said.It was
one of those things where it was really very close in time.
To prepare,Rice ran lines with one of her co-workers,a for-
mer child actress, before jetting off to New York the week of
March 16 to film.The appearance aired in the April 28 episode
Everything Sunny All the Time.
In the episode, Jacks current wife Avery Jessup (Elizabeth
Banks) is detained in North Korea by a pop culture-obsessed,
megalomaniacal Kim Jong-Il (Margaret Cho). Desperate to
bring Avery home,Jack has no choice but to come groveling to
his bitter ex-girlfriend for help. But before Condi
agrees to help him, she challenges Jack to a piano/flute-off. A
professional flutist came in to teach Baldwin how to hold the
instrument properly. Rice, on the other hand, is a famously ac-
complished pianist and picked out the pieces played on the
show herself. Condi eventually trumps Jack on the third and
final song, an excerpt of Mozarts D Minor Concerto.
That one would be impossible for the flute to play,Rice
said. I wasnt trying to be fair. I was trying to get revenge,
right?
During the scene, Jack apologizes for breaking up with
Condi via text message (Me + U = :().
Well I thought, my goodness, how could you do that and I
mean to go out with Karl Rove on Valentines Day? My good-
ness,Rice joked.
Despite his characters conservative leanings, Alec Bald-
win is notorious for his liberal activism, most famously lam-
pooned in Team America:World Policeas the head of Hol-
lywoods activist, liberal crowd. However, the two set aside
their political differences during the taping.
He made me feel very relaxed because I [hadnt] had time
to memorize lines,Rice said.And he said,Nobody remem-
bers lines.We just make it up. He was really great.
As for 30 Rocksown lampooning of the Bush adminis-
tration, Rice has no beef.
Everybody pokes fun at each other,Rice said.Thats the
nice thing about American politics. If you cant laugh together
then youve lost something really important.

F
ermn Mendoza 11 comes from
what he calls a mixed-status
family. His youngest brother
was born in the United States
and is a citizen by birth. His
older sister, a teacher who recently mar-
ried, is a permanent resident. Mean-
while, Mendoza, his parents and his
other brother, a sophomore in college,
are not legal residents.
The U.S. Senates blockage of the
DREAM Act late last year keeps people
like Mendoza in legal limbo.The legisla-
tion would have provided a path to citi-
zenship for young,undocumented immi-
grants who were brought to the United
States as children. Its failure leaves Men-
doza, a public policy major, looking
ahead to future activism, graduation and
where he goes from there.
Mendoza was born in Mexico and
came to the United States with his fami-
ly when he was 4 years old,going on to at-
tend middle and high school in Texas.His
parents had come to the U.S. on a three-
month tourist visa and indefinitely ex-
tended their stay.They moved for better
job security and to help their children
pursue better educations, they empha-
sized to their son.
Mendozas parents told him at an
early age that he wasnt an American cit-
izen, and he was told never to speak
about his immigration status because he
did not have papers. Nonetheless,
Mendoza grew up, went to school and
got involved in extracurricular activities
much like any other American with
his legal status in what felt like the distant
background.
I didnt feel different at all growing
up, Mendoza said. I had the same ac-
cess to public education in the United
States. My immigrant identity only
pushed me to do better in classes.
Mendoza considers himself lucky.His
father has worked roofing houses for the
past 16 years, and his mother recently
changed jobs from dry cleaning to house
cleaning. They made sure Mendoza and
his siblings never worried about finances
and that their primary focus was school-
work.
Mendoza did not want to work a
manual-labor job like his parents, which
motivated him further to excel in the
classroom.
Even when I started attaining a level
of education that was higher than theirs,
I still convinced myself that what I was
doing was not as hard as what they were
doing,he said about his parents.
Mendoza took his schoolwork seri-
ously and, in middle school, was encour-
aged to apply to a program for gifted stu-
dents. The application for the program
required documentation of his parents
income, which, as unauthorized immi-
grants, they had difficulty providing. His
counselors and other administrators at
the school were supportive and helped
him work around these obstacles, he
said. He began to feel more comfortable
with his immigration status.
A few years after gaining support
from his school, Mendoza felt comfort-
able opening up to his peers. In 10th
grade, several of his projects in school fo-
cused on immigration and the DREAM
Act. Because his school was 98 percent
Latino, many people were familiar and
concerned with immigration issues.
I didnt see any reason to hide it,
said Mendoza. I was protected by edu-
cators at my school.
Refining a Worldview
For Mendoza, the transition to Stan-
ford was difficult because he was in a rad-
ically different environment.There were
fewer Latino students,and he found peo-
ple here less focused on immigration is-
sues. Insecurities about his immigration
status sprung up again. Meanwhile, he
wrestled with being gay. He felt different
than other Stanford students and hid
those parts of his identity from his peers
during his freshman year.
But after a fellow student made jokes
about undocumented immigrants and
pointed out that Mendoza couldnt vote,
Mendoza felt it was time to assert him-
self against what he felt were ignorant
views on immigration at Stanford and
nationwide. He tried to be more honest
about his background with himself and
others.
I struggled with thinking of myself
as a person,Mendoza said.What does
it mean to be human? People are calling
me illegal. I dont have any rights.
His sophomore year, he joined the
Stanford Immigrants Rights Project,
where the DREAM Act became the
groups focus as it facilitated President
Hennessys public support of the legisla-
tion. His junior year, he collaborated
with the group to plan Immigration
Week, which featured a series of immi-
grant-rights demonstrations.
Last summer, Mendoza won a Haas
Center for Public Service fellowship to
work at Educators for Fair Considera-
tion, which works to advance the educa-
tions of low-income (and often undocu-
mented) immigrant students. When his
fellowship ended,Mendoza was ready to
enter his senior year and prepared to
fight for the DREAM Acts passage.
After watching the House vote in favor
of the bill this fall, he was encouraged.
It was definitely something new,
Mendoza said. The DREAM Act had
never passed in any chamber of Con-
gress.It was a great symbol of support for
undocumented students at the govern-
ment level.
But watching the Senate block the
bill soon afterward, he realized it was not
going to pass.
I was sitting with my sister and I al-
most cried,Mendoza said.But I had to
hold it back.
Although Mendoza was disappoint-
ed, he said the vote was re-energizing
and that he and other proponents of the

ith twinkling eyes and a
gently wrinkled face in a
perpetual half-smile, Al-
bert Bandura looks
every inch the quintes-
sential kindly grandfather, from the
muted burgundy sweater to the soft lull of
his voice.
Bandura, a man of many talents, has
had a long and illustrious academic career
spanning over six decades. The David
Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus of Social
Science in Psychology, Bandura has con-
tributed immensely to the field of social
psychology, and is the father behind the
theory of self-efficacy and social learning
theory. Ranked as the most cited living
psychologist in the world, Bandura has
authored seven books to date and has
written over 180 articles.
Bandura was born and raised in
Mundare, a small hamlet in northern Al-
berta, Canada with a population of ap-
proximately 400 people, mostly immi-
grants from Poland and Ukraine. His ele-
mentary and secondary school years at
the only school in town were very limited
in education resources, recalled Ban-
dura. Usually, limited educational re-
sources would be seen as a hindrance, but
Bandura looks back on his schooldays as
an opportunity for self-learning, a major
skill that is the center of his social learning
theory.
We pilfered a teachers trigonometry
book, so that we could study it ourselves,
Bandura said. The students had to take
charge of their own education.
Banduras early resolve for scholastic
success was largely due to his upbringing
because his parents, though they received
no formal education, placed enormous
emphasis on academic development.
My mother told me I could till the
land, play pool and drink myself to obliv-
ion,Bandura said.Or I could get an ed-
ucation.
Needless to say, I chose the latter,
Bandura added with a lighthearted
chuckle.
Banduras summers were spent pick-
ing up carpentry,a skill set that would later
help pay for his college education. One
memorable summer after high school
graduation, Bandura ventured farther
north, where he worked at Whitehorse in
the Yukon filling in holes along the
Alaskan highway.
Bandura recalled the shock he re-
ceived almost immediately upon his ar-
rival.
I pulled up to the base camp, and the
first thing I saw was an ambulance. I asked
someone if there had been an accident,
and someone told me,No,thats our cook.
He drank all of the lemon extract for the
alcohol, so we have to take him in to get
his stomach pumped out.
The robust, quirky life of the workers
at Whitehorse was an exciting time for
Bandura, who saw the Yukon tundra as a
backdrop for the blossoming of the psy-
chopathology of everyday life.
Booze was their main nutrient,Ban-
dura said. They were ordering large
quantities of sugar that they used to brew
up. This one morning they go up early, [to
check] on the deepest alcoholic mash.
What they found there instead was half a
dozen drunken grizzly bears lumbering
around camp. Fortunately, they were a lit-
tle too tipsy to actually be really danger-
ous.
According to Bandura, fortuity a
factor generally avoided by psychologists,
who interpret such events as unpre-
dictable plays a more important role in
shaping peoples lives.
In psych, we avoid fortuity,Bandura
said.Fortuitous events are just nuisances
in our causal theories.I tried to bring some
science to bear on my fortuitous life, and
thats how I got into psych.
It was, in fact, fortuity that led Bandura
to ultimately choose psychology as his
field of study for his bachelors degree at
the University of British Columbia, a de-
cision largely based on a chance en-
counter with a course catalog.
I had originally planned to major in
biology, Bandura said. I was with pre-
meds and engineers who had really early
schedules. I didnt have classes that early
those were at a time that I didnt know
even existed! So I had a lot of time. I no-
ticed someone had left a course catalog.
While flipping through it, there was a
psych course that fit in with my schedule
that I decided to take.
Bandura was hooked on psych. Mak-
ing use of his carpentry skills, he was able
to speed through his education, earning
his B.A. in three years and receiving his
M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of
Iowa in three additional years. It was also
during his graduate student years, by an-
other stroke of luck, that he met his wife,
whom he married in 1952.
One morning,we were late to our golf
time, so they bumped us to a later time,
Bandura said. Two women were ahead
of us. They were slowing down, and we
were speeding up. I met my wife in the
sand trap. Had we been at the earlier time,
our lives would have never converged.

Congratulations Class of 2011!
In 1953, Bandura joined Stan-
fords faculty, where he has remained
ever since. He has taught thousands
of students and prolifically con-
tributed many research articles and
studies involving various aspects of
social psychology. The Bobo doll
study, which looked at the social pat-
terns of behavior associated with ag-
gression, is his most well known piece
of research.
That study always seems to
haunt me, Bandura admitted. The
great thing about psychology is that it
is the only study that integrates in-
terpsychic events, social relations, bi-
ology and socio-structural events.
Theres no other discipline that inte-
grates all of these very different disci-
plines.
Bandura and his wife, Ginny, have
two daughters, Mary and Carol, both
of whom grew up to follow careers
within the fields of either clinical or
social psychology.
Over the years, Bandura has be-
come an expert at juggling several
roles at once as professor, as fa-
ther and more recently, as grandfa-
ther.
He loves his grandchildren,said
Ian Gotlib, also a David Starr Jordan
Professor of Psychology.And he ap-
preciates good wine.
Now retired, Bandura has more
time for leisure activities, which in-
clude wine tours, backpacking in the
Sierras and gardening.
I maintain some of my rural
roots, Bandura said. I have a huge
garden, where I am the major suppli-
er of tomatoes, which have been
claimed as the golden standard by
my colleagues.
But Bandura still likes to keep
busy. Instead of settling back into the
comfort of his armchair, basking in
the glow of his numerous achieve-
ments, Banduras back is erect, lean-
ing slightly forward toward the fu-
ture,while always having a number of
current projects buzzing away. One
of his major current projects is the ap-
plication of social learning theory
and the self-efficacy model to address
major concerns on a global level,such
as human rights in developing coun-
tries, environmental sustainability
and the AIDS epidemic.
Thats not bad for someone who
stumbled into psychology by fortuity.
Having learned from a lifetime of
serendipity, Bandura believes in
maximizing every chance opportuni-
ty.
You can take [hardships] and
turn them into enabling experi-
ences, Bandura said. You cant af-
ford to be a realist. Realists will abort
if they run into difficulties,or they will
become cynical. Learning how to
work through it when encountering
setbacks and conflicts is a life-long
skill, but an important one for suc-
cess.
You dont get bored that way,he
added.

Laden assassination eclipsed her ap-
pearance the following week, Rice
certainly is not disappointed.
Its a real victory for American
patience and persistence, Rice said.
It took us almost 10 years, but it
shows you cant escape Americas
long reach. I think this is a victory
across presidents and I think thats a
good thing.
I think Jack would have liked it,

SAILINGTHE SEISMIC
WAV E S
By KELLY VICARS
T
en miles off the coast of
Costa Rica, Stanford re-
searcher Jennifer Saltz-
man stands on the ship
deck of the JOIDES Res-
olution watching a gigantic steel drill
dig a 23-foot-wide hole in the floor of
the Pacific Ocean. The drill will
reach depths of up to 6,924 feet, or
about 1.3 miles, below the ocean
floor.
Its mission? To extract deep sam-
ples of earth that could provide cru-
cial insight into how subduction
zones places where one tectonic
plate of the Earths crust is shoved
beneath another produces large
earthquakes, such as the recent mag-
nitude-9 earthquake that ravaged
the coast of Japan. This type of re-
search is the smoking gun in un-
covering the environmental and cli-
mate changes that have shaped the
planets transformation throughout
history, from continental drift to the
extinction of the dinosaurs, Saltzman
said.
Deep-sea drilling has played an
integral part in shaping scientific un-
derstanding of geologic phenomena,
such as major earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and tsunamis. Aboard the
JOIDES Resolution, researchers are
drilling to depths previously un-
heard of, where sediments could un-
lock the secrets that may one day
allow scientists to foresee tectonic
disasters before they take place.
The ship, which is affectionately
called the JR, is the only American
ship in the world devoted solely to
scientific drilling. Its full acronym,
JOIDES, stands for Joint Oceano-
graphic Institutions for Deep Earth
Sampling. Resolution honors the
HMS Resolution, a ship commanded
more than 200 years ago by Captain
James Cook, who explored the Pacif-
ic and Antarctic Oceans. Today, the
JR roams waters across the globe,
from New Zealand to Tahiti to Cen-
tral America to the Bering Sea.
Assisting in this endeavor are
over 100 individuals representing 10
nations on four continents: engi-
neers, technicians, oilers, chemists,
researchers, curators, computer sci-
ence and imaging specialists, a cap-
tain, laundryman and professional
chefs. They work and live together
aboard the JR, where operations
continue 24 hours a day in the lab
stack an innovative research
space comprised of seven vertical
floors of laboratories.
Saltzman, director of outreach
education at the School of Earth Sci-
ences and a lecturer in geological
and environmental sciences, was
part of this team, working a 12-hour
shift each day like every member of
the crew for the five-week research
voyage. She rose with the sunrise at 6
a.m. and worked until just before
sunset at 6 p.m.
She was hired from a nationwide
pool of applicants as the ships edu-
cation officer. Her duties included
sharing the JRs progress with stu-
dents through blogs and live online
broadcasts as well as conducting re-
search along with the rest of the
crew, spending days processing sedi-
ment samples in the geochemistry
lab.
Saltzman jumped at the opportu-
nity to participate in the five-week
research voyage when she was of-
fered the position early this year.
Along with looking at the sedi-
ment samples, she also got to share
her experience with student audi-
ences around the country through
her blog posts on the JOIDES Reso-
lution website. Her entries paint a
colorful portrait of life aboard the
JR and help explain the research in
ways that younger audiences can un-
derstand. In one post, for example,
Saltzman described drilling into the
sediment on the seafloor as similar
to pushing a giant straw through
layers of cake or Jello!
Saltzman also found a way to in-
teract with her land-bound viewers
through live online broadcasts over
Skype. She spoke to many class-
rooms in California and shared her
experiences as part of the research
team. A few weeks ago, Saltzman
talked to a sixth-grade earth science
class in Santa Clara, Calif. She took
them on a photo tour of the JR and
told them about some of the re-
search methods the scientists use
some of which, like tasting the core
samples to test for differences in tex-
ture, are strange and counterintu-
itive.
Her broadcasts even made their
way back to the Stanford campus.
Kelly Marren 13, one of Saltzmans
advisees, tuned in from her laptop in
her dorm room.
[I was] wowed by the highly sci-
entific process of studying these core
samples, centimeter by centimeter,
she said. I cant believe all this is
taking place on a ship! I was very im-
pressed by the dual existence of ship
life and research.
For Saltzman, teaching from
aboard the ship was an exciting as-
pect of her job. She used her blog and
broadcasts to create a link between
the purely scientific aims of the re-
search aboard the JR and the avid
minds of earth science students on
the Farm.
I love teaching,she said.I love
sharing what I know about the world
and helping people understand.
Though Saltzmans five-week
voyage ended when the JR returned
to port on April 13, the ships re-
search will continue when it em-
barks on its next voyage, which is
planned to explore waters offshore
of Panama.
We are FAR from understand-
ing everything about how the Earth
system works, let alone how to de-
sign all the tools and experiments to
get us there, Saltzman wrote in her
blog. That is the exciting thing
about science. There is still so much
to learn and do.There is so much still
to discover.

One point three billion people
have the right to know the reality
and to judge for themselves whats
right and whats wrong, the Dalai
Lama said. Therefore the censor-
ship is immoral. Its self-destruc-
tive.
Censorship is just one part of the
trust deficit that China has created,
the Dalai Lama said. He compared
China to India, saying both suffer
from heavy corruption but India is
trusted by the international commu-
nity because its democratic values
highlight individual freedom while
Chinas domestic policies encour-
age suppression.
Individual creativity of diverse
people is very necessary, he said.
Look at India. For the last 60 years,
there has been accountability be-
cause of democracy, rule of law and
freedom of information. And there
is secularism in the government
which does not mean rejection of re-
ligion, but means respect for all reli-
gions.
Chinas trust deficit is a hin-
drance to talks between Tibet and
the Chinese government over
Tibets autonomy. The Dalai Lama
called the tension man-made and
said it can easily be solved if the
Chinese government understood
that Tibet is not seeking separation
or independence, but instead
meaningful autonomy of gover-
nance.
Sooner or later we have to talk
to the Chinese government, the
Dalai Lama said. It has to be un-
derstood that we are not seeking
separation.We are not seeking inde-
pendence. We are seeking meaning-
ful autonomy.
Independence would refer to a
Tibet that governs itself at every
level without Chinas hand, while
autonomy would refer to a Tibet
that governs its internal affairs but
gives international and military
decision-making power to China.
Speaking to the group of Chi-
nese students in attendance, the
Dalai Lama said, You are the
people who will create this centu-
ry. Please think more wisely. He
described groups of Chinese stu-
dents who protest his visits to the
U.S. with too much emotion, too
much anger.
They never listen to my expla-
nation, he said. Good thing I sit
at a big table, otherwise they
would reach over and . . . He
made swinging motions with his
fists.
At 75 years old, the Dalai Lama
said he is looking toward com-
plete retirement. He now devotes
himself to two main commitments:
promoting human values through
secular paths and promoting reli-
gious harmony.
The future belongs to people,
not necessarily governments, he
said. Basically all people want a
happy life. Everyone must have a
right to pursue that goal.
The private meeting was organ-
ized by Tenzin Seldon 12, who made
news earlier this year when it was
found that her private Google e-
mail account was hacked by some-
one with a Chinese IP address. Sel-
don, who was born and raised in
Tibet but fled to India with her par-
ents, is a regional coordinator of the
New York-based nonprofit Stu-
dents for a Free Tibet. She worked
for one of the Dalai Lamas non-
profit organizations in India over
the summer, where she had the op-
portunity to meet the Dalai Lama
and ask him to speak with Chinese
and Tibetan students on his visit to
the Bay Area.
What struck me the most was
how knowledgeable His Holiness
was about the intricacies of China,
she said after the event. Its quite
an undertaking for a spiritual per-
son to be on the level where he can
talk about political and economic
implications. This relates directly to
what I went through.

President Kelsei Wharton 12 met
with Hennessy in October to discuss
a lower standard of proof, she said,
and she led a number of student
groups in urging the Judicial Affairs
review panel to consider the change.
Michael Cruz 12 was elected to
ASSU president on Saturday on a
platform that included working to
lower the standard.
But ASSU efforts were locked in
the longer-term review process until
the federal government handed
down its guidelines last week.
Widespread student opinion on
the issue has yet to be tested.
I will say I know there are vary-
ing viewpoints on this, but I think it is
at the end of the day a big advance-
ment for the womens community
and for Stanford University, Car-
dona said.
For people who might be con-
cerned about the change in the bur-
den, the standard of proof, then [it is]
probably an opportunity for people
to be saying to themselves, I need to
be really educated about these issues
because I dont want to find myself in
this circumstance,Griffith said.

SENIOR REFLECTIONS FROMDAILY EDITORS
AN LE NGUYEN
A
wise Beatle once said, Life is what
happens to you when youre busy
making other plans.
I concocted a lot of plans when I first ar-
rived at Stanford. I distinctly remember own-
ing three planners my freshman year because
having just one didnt suffice. I created color-
coded checklists and spent hours agonizing
over internships and jobs. Its shameful, I
know.
Very few of these plans, however, panned
out as I previously intended and for this, I
am utterly thankful. During my time on the
Farm, three things in particular have sur-
prised me for the better.
One, my major. As a high school senior, I
was 99 percent convinced that I would pursue
an English and biology double major because
they were subjects in which I excelled. I am
now leaving Stanford with degrees in eco-
nomics and international relations, simply be-
cause I love studying them.
Two, I never imagined that a single ex-
tracurricular activity could take up 40 hours
of my life each week. And for that I
blame/thank Zach Zimmerman, who gave
me the opportunity to be news managing ed-
itor at The Daily.
I spent more time in the newsroom than in
my own dorm this year and, quite frankly, I
couldnt have been happier. It has been a de-
light to work with my fellow editors, writers
and photographers. The Daily has trans-
formed from a hobby to a second home be-
cause of these amazing individuals.
I am especially appreciative of Ivy
Nguyen, Kabir Sawhney, Tyler Brown, Cas-
sandra Feliciano, Billy Gallagher, Josh Falk
and the newsies for contributing to Volume
239. Many thanks to Ellie Titus and Eric
Messinger for their continued guidance and
support.
Three, I am no longer afraid of lifes sur-
prises. Stanford has taught me to take the un-
expected in stride and to relish new and excit-
ing adventures.
Now, here comes the weepy part: I cannot
express enough gratitude for my wonderful
friends, roommates past and present, profes-
sors and freshman dorm staff (shout out to
Donner 07-08).And finally, my graduation re-
flection would not be complete without a
word of thanks to my loving family, especially
my mom.
Im perfectly content to allow things to just
happen so long as these remarkable indi-
viduals continue to be a part of my uncharted
life journey.
MICHAEL LIU
F
our years ago I was graduating high
school and not looking forward to it.
I didnt want to give up the familiar
relationships I spent years forming; I
wanted to hang onto that senior year
forever. Unsurprisingly, this desire to capture
a fleeting moment and tuck it away for pos-
terity is actually quite related to what drew
me into photography. Photographs are in a
sense captured moments, photons from a past
time and place imprinted forever in a chemi-
cal or digital medium.
In my time at The Daily as a photographer,
desk editor and managing editor I have been
given the privilege of sharing these moments
with the rest of the Stanford community
through photographs. Photojournalism is
tough as I learned the hard way: a politicians
emphatic gesture and a game winning touch-
down all happen in an instant; one second of
hesitation can mean the difference between
the front page and the recycle bin.As I gained
experience I became quite skilled at catching
the smallest moments in a sea of activity.
However, eventually I found myself ob-
sessed with capturing everything: this event
was only happening now and if I didnt get a
photo the moment would be forever lost in
the depths of time, went my thinking. This
didnt apply just to photojournalism either
but followed me even on vacations. I became
so engrossed in my quest to preserve every
moment that I lost sight of the goal of vaca-
tioning: to enjoy it.
I dont want to bash photography because
I absolutely love it, but it is important to re-
member that life is not photography. Dynam-
ic and ephemeral, life is actually quite the op-
posite which is perhaps why photography can
be so powerful.
Nowadays, when Im not on the job, I pur-
posely avoid bringing a camera everywhere.
Sure this means I often miss shots I would
love to have captured, but it also means I am
able to live life in its full experience. Unlike
photographs you cant hold onto lifes mo-
ments forever. For me, embracing instead of
fighting that fact has been extremely liberat-
ing.
Because of this realization I can now stand
here at another graduation, not dreading the
end of the past but looking forward to the
start of the future.Thank you to all my friends
on the Farm and at The Daily, past or present,
for helping me realize this.
DEVIN BANERJEE,
VOLUME 236
EDITOR IN CHIEF
I
had a motto for Volume 236, which I
presented at the first staff recruiting ses-
sion in the fall of 2009: This is a profes-
sional organization.
Not two weeks later, I made a makeshift
strap out of a freshmans backpack so that I
could play my saxophone during peak pro-
duction hours. I blasted music from the editor
in chief office, annoying editors, writers and
outdoor passersby alike. To keep the staff
happy, I emptied my wallet on boba drinks,
candy and birthday cakes. And I gave more
post-midnight shoulder rubs than I can re-
member, which might have been illegal, de-
pending on how you look at it.
In earlier volumes, we took the distribu-
tion golf cart on late-night campus joyrides.
We tried on a pair of womens pants that was
found in the office.We threw each other in the
fountain outside Old Union. We (jokingly)
tried to throw a freshman from the second-
floor editorial office into the first-floor busi-
ness office.We raced around the newsroom in
rolling chairs. We shot boba balls at each
other with straws.We wrestled.We danced on
tables. We slept in the office.
The Daily is a professional organization. It
does this community a service far greater
than it is given credit for. That service goes
above and beyond the inherent responsibility
that the organization has borne for 119 years:
to inform members of the Stanford communi-
ty so that they may be active, responsible citi-
zens.
But for the graduating seniors, leaving The
Stanford Daily means more than leaving an
important job.The experiences will, no doubt,
serve us well throughout our professional ca-
reers. The work we have done has captured
and enhanced the vibrancy of this communi-
ty. Yet these are not the first qualities that
come to mind as I reflect on my own four
years at The Daily. Because, even as I move to
the opposite coast to remain working in jour-
nalism, I leave behind friends, a second fami-
ly and a second home.
CRISTOPHER BAUTISTA
I
started working at The Daily within
two weeks of arriving at Stanford as a
freshman. I had been editor in chief of
my school newspaper in high school
and I wanted to continue doing student
journalism in some capacity or another. I
found myself doing graphics. On nights when
I was waiting for graphics requests Id sit
around in the office and read the opinions
columns. I enjoyed reading those columns,
and I found that I wanted to write a column
myself. I didnt know what about yet.
It wasnt until senior year that I found my
topic. By then, I had gone from a freshman
girl named Cristina and had transitioned to a
rising senior named Cristopher. I realized
that I, as a transgender person, had a unique
perspective I could impart to Daily readers. I
could write about my experiences as a trans-
gender person as I took hormones, legally
changed my name and so on. There wasnt a
column that focused on transgender identi-
ties in any university newspaper. I had some-
thing to contribute.
I wrote my column, The Transitive Proper-
ty, during Volume 238 and 239. Needless to
say, my experience writing my column was
perhaps my most rewarding experience this
year. I learned a lot about myself. Members of
the Stanford community learned about trans-
gender identities for the first time. And per-
haps most importantly, this column legit-
imized identities that have long been ignored
and unacknowledged. I would like to thank
The Daily for taking on this controversial
topic youve not only helped educate the
Stanford community, youve also empower-
ing a small, voiceless minority. My experience
at the The Daily has taught me the impor-
tance of speaking my voice in the world. I can
leave Stanford with no regrets.
KAMIL DADA,
VOLUME 237
EDITOR IN CHIEF
A
s my Stanford undergraduate ex-
perience comes to an end, I have
been trying to reflect on what has
been most meaningful to me.
Without a doubt, I readily reach
the conclusion that it is the people. Beyond
all the classes, deadlines, projects and ex-
tracurricular activities, the one area of my
Stanford experience that has consistently
stuck out at me is the connection and rela-
tionships with other people. I believe that life
isnt about delayed gratification. It is about
making the most of ones experiences and re-
lationships today. We are all busy and have
little free time, but there is only so much we
can gain through stunted conversations
about work in between meetings on our
tightly packed schedules.
In a sense, some of my most meaningful re-
lationships have come through failure. As a
typical Stanford student, I tried to portray
myself as a winner. However, in doing so, I
wasnt able to appreciate and come to terms
with my limitations, vulnerabilities and my-
self as a whole. Only by putting myself out
there and going beyond the everyday worries
was I able to connect with other people at a
deeper level. I am still learning to open up to
others in this way and move beyond discus-
sions in terms of midterms, problem sets, pa-
pers and other acceptabletopics of conver-
sation. By only discussing our sleep depriva-
tion or work-related stress, we restrict what
we reveal to other people. Broader concerns
almost seem out of place when there is so
much work to do on campus. That said, what
is important isnt necessarily the duration of
the conversation, but the quality of the con-
versation. Some of the most profoundly mov-
ing conversations I have had at Stanford have
been short.
So I would like to dedicate this farewell
column and my time at Stanford to everyone
on campus who made my life that little bit
better. Whether it was a smile and serendipi-
tous conversation while walking across cam-
pus, heart-felt advice, or a long philosophical
conversation that lasted all night, I thank you.
These are the memories and experiences that
I will cherish forever when I look back upon
my college years.
ELLEN HUET
A
lthough Ive written thousands of
words for The Daily over the last
three years, Ive never been able
to use the first person, and even
now, its making me a bit nervous.
The Daily was a group into which I was
nudged as a sophomore and for which Ive re-
luctantly and also whole-heartedly given
much of my time at Stanford.Theres nothing
like the bonding of a newsroom to strengthen
the friendships Ive made here, and it also
helps that those whove come through our
doors whether once or twice or every
night for a year are some of the most ded-
icated and thoughtful folk Ive met on the
Farm. (Shout-out to Duran for being a baller
decades before current graduating seniors
were born.)
Its one thing to really dedicate oneself to
a student organization on campus; its an in-
credible experience that comes with ups and
downs, vaguely irrational attachment to a
group and a likely demise for ones GPA. But
at The Daily were lucky to be able to take
pride in working toward a bigger goal as well.
Keeping independent student journalism
alive, kicking ass and taking names while
were at it and double-checking the
spelling so we print it correctly the next day.
Many late nights, many rough times, a
handful of sweet victories and no regrets.
Thanks, Daily.

O
f all the types of writing that go
into the newspaper, news briefs
have always been my favorite.
Ill keep this brief, too: It was an
incredible privilege to attend
Stanford and serve as editor in chief of The
Daily. I am deeply grateful to Rowland and
Pat Rebele, Harry Press and the George and
Emily Jacobs Scholarship Fund; The Daily
board of directors; the Friends of The Stan-
ford Daily Foundation; Mary Liz McCurdy
and Claire Slattery, Daily business leaders;
Tim Crews and Evan Smith, editors;
Michael Kahan and Laura Selznick, aca-
demic advisers; Glenn Frankel, mentor and
friend; and the many other professors, staff
and journalists who have shared their time
and wisdom.
Also deserving are my friends and Daily
colleagues. When I remember what was best
about my time at Stanford, Ill remember
them.
Above all, thanks to Mom, Dad, Abbey
and Grady. I love you.
NIKHIL JOSHI
M
y four years at Stanford have
many cherished characteris-
tics; some of them will last
two degrees, friendships that
will hold for years and a re-
markable amount of personal growth
while others are more ephemeral a care-
free life in the bubble, sleeping in on a
Tuesday, biking in the breeze on a sunny day.
Most of these aspects of life are probably
more attributable to my age (the 17 to 21 age
group being a particularly exciting time)
than my institution (Stanford). But one of
the most critical components of my last four
years would have been impossible to find
anywhere else: good advice.
My freshman year was, like I imagine it
is for most, a complete blur. I took lots of
introductory classes and met lots of new
people, but after 10 months still had ab-
solutely no clue who I was or what I want-
ed to do with my life. It was in this context
that during the first week of my sophomore
year I walked into the third-floor office of
one of my Sophomore College instructors
and asked him to be my Economics major
advisor.
But over the course of the next three
years punctuated by advising meetings
that started out quarterly but quickly be-
came more frequent things began to
come into focus. My advisor counseled me to
take academia more seriously, so I spent a
year writing an empirical economics honors
thesis. He pushed me to think about the pol-
icy world, so I interned at the White House
and got a masters in public policy. Mostly, he
got me to think like an economist and con-
centrate on the important things in life and
not on all the noise.
Thank you Professor Noll, I couldnt have
done it without you.
AMY JULIA HARRIS
W
hen I wrote my first features
article three years ago a
hard-hitting investigation of
Palo Altos cafe culture I
had no idea that with one ar-
ticle I would enter The Stanford Daily family.
But that was all it took. Since then, The Daily
has become the focal point of my time at
Stanford the place where Ive spent late
nights dreaming up witty headlines, scram-
bling to finish last-minute stories before pro-
duction and learning all about all the inner
workings of the Stanford community. But
most importantly, The Daily is the place
where I grew up. It was through writing that I
met the amazing group of writers and editors
who have become my best friends, was forced
to evaluate and form convictions about issues
that arose in reporting and was challenged
and inspired to seriously pursue journalism. I
lost countless hours of sleep but gained irre-
placeable life experiences through The Daily.
I cant say how thankful I am that I wrote for
my college paper or how much Im going
to miss it.

The Stanford football team clutches the Axe after traveling to Berkeley and defeating rival California, 48-14, in one of the most lopsided games in the series storied history.
THE AXE COMES HOME
THE CARDINAL TRAVELS ACROSS THE BAY AND DISMANTLES THE BEARS
By KABIR SAWHNEY
MANAGING EDITOR
The Axe is coming back to Stan-
ford.
The No. 6 Cardinal football team
won Stanfords annual rivalry game
handily, defeating California by a
final score of 48-14. Stanford (10-1,
7-1 Pac-10) scored 31 points in the
first half to zero for the Golden
Bears (5-6, 3-5), playing a strong
game on both sides of the ball
throughout.
Tension between the two teams
bubbled to the surface early in the
game, as both benches emptied dur-
ing the coin toss and faced each
other down at the center of the
field. The players exchanged taunts
and provocations, and both teams
were flagged with personal foul
penalties. Stanford sophomore
wideout Jamal-Rashad Patterson
was ejected after aiming a blow at
Cal defensive back C.J. Moncrease,
who provoked Patterson by spitting
at him.
Its a rivalry game, said senior
cornerback Richard Sherman.
Tempers flare. They were trying to
show their enthusiasm, and we were
trying to show our enthusiasm.
Even before that, in warm-ups, it
kind of escalated early on.
Stanford set the tone early in the
game, on Cals first drive. On the
third play of the game, Cal quarter-
back Brock Mansion fumbled the
ball, and it was pounced on by red-
shirt junior defensive end Matt
Masifilo to give Stanford its first
possession of the game deep inside
Cal territory.
When asked whether it mattered
that his team turned the ball over on
its first drive, Cal head coach Jeff
Tedford said, Absolutely. No ques-
tion. You dont fumble a snap and
give them the ball down in the red
zone to start the game.There were a
lot of plays to be made, but we did-
nt play well enough to win.
However, Stanford was unable
to fully capitalize on its early oppor-
tunity. Indeed, the Card failed to
gain any offensive yardage on its
first drive it gained 15 yards on a
pass interference penalty. A field
goal from senior kicker Nate
Whitaker gave Stanford its first
points of the day.
On its next drive, the Golden
Bears appeared ready to match
Stanford and recover from their
early miscue. After a kickoff return
to the Cal 34-yard line, Mansion
and running back Shane Vereen
led the Golden Bears deep into
Stanford territory. However, Man-
sion lofted up a pass into the Cardi-
nal red zone that was easily picked
off by Sherman at the Cardinals
own five-yard line.
Turnovers cost us down in the
red zone us getting in the red
zone and turning the ball over
and then turning the ball over in
their end zone to give them a short
field,Tedford said.
After the Sherman intercep-
tion, Stanford redshirt sophomore
quarterback Andrew Luck
marched his offense down the
field, scoring its first touchdown of
the game on a short run from soph-
omore running back Stepfan Tay-
lor. The biggest play of the drive
was a scramble that Luck turned
into a 58-yard gain down the left
sideline, dodging and battering
through several Cal defenders be-
fore finally running out-of-bounds
all the way down at the Cal 21-yard
line. The run included a memorable
stiff-arm on Cal defensive back
Sean Cattouse.
It was just a lesson for me,Cat-
touse said. At the last second, I got
caught between making that big hit
and wrapping him up.
Stanford proceeded to score
touchdowns on its next five drives,
more or less imposing its will on
Cals porous defense. The Cardinal
employed a highly balanced attack,
mixing its signature power running
game with throws from Luck at
short and long range. Its 467 total
offensive yards were almost per-
fectly split 235 passing yards and
232 rushing yards. The performance
was especially notable because it
followed a weak showing last week-
end against Arizona State, where
the Card could only muster 17
points.
They knew what they had to
do, redshirt sophomore linebacker
Chase Thomas said about his teams
offense. They made a lot of adjust-
ments early and they werent
stopped after that.
Stanfords defense also played
well, forcing three turnovers and
playing opportunistically.The Cardi-
nal held the Bears to 6-of-14 third
down conversions and forced one
turnover on downs, limiting the of-
fense to 299 yards overall. Mansion,
who started the season as Cals back-
up quarterback, had a rough day
under center, going 19-37 for 173
passing yards, including two inter-
ceptions and one touchdown pass.
We put a lot of pressure on

The wait is over.
After heartbreaking finishes in
womens basketball and soccer ear-
lier in the academic year, the Stan-
ford athletics program has finally
broken through with its 100th team
NCAA title. That honor comes
courtesy of the mens gymnastics
team, which secured its second
championship in three years on Fri-
day night at the NCAA Team Finals
in Columbus, Ohio.
I am ecstatic that mens gym-
nastics was the team to reach the
100th title for Stanford, said Stan-
ford head coach Thom Glielmi. It
is an incredible achievement for
Stanford and the fact that it was
mens gymnastics that won it is just
icing on the cake.
Stanford scored a remarkable
363.450 in the team finals, edging
out runner-up Oklahoma (361.600)
and third-place Illinois (360.150).
That final mark came despite a
less-than-stellar start in Fridays
first event, the parallel bars. After
scoring the NCAAs best score of
the year with 61.500 in Thursdays
preliminaries, the Cardinal posted a
solid but unremarkable 59.950 on
Friday. Redshirt sophomore
Cameron Foreman and senior

Stanfords No. 1 womens water
polo team went into Sunday with
thirty straight victories against Cal,
going undefeated against the cross-
bay rival since 2000. The Cardinal
(28-1) continued that streak when it
mattered most yesterday, earning
an emphatic 9-5 win over the No. 2
Bears (24-4) in the National Colle-
giate Championship final.

5/15, Ann Arbor, Mich.
After the third-place MPSF
Tournament finish that failed to
give Stanford an automatic berth,
the Cardinal still managed to earn
an at-large bid and the No. 1 seed of
the NCAA Tournament that took
place last weekend in Ann Arbor,
Mich.
Stanfords first opponent in the
eight-team tournament was Iona
College on Friday. The Cardinal
started the tournament on the right
foot, scoring a season-high 22 goals
while holding Iona to just seven.
Junior two-meter Melissa Seide-
mann led all scorers with five, while
junior driver Alyssa Lo and fresh-
men driver Kaitlyn Lo both had
hat-tricks.
We passed the ball really well,
said head coach John Tanner. We
had good spacing in our frontcourt
offense and made some good deci-
sions in front of the goal, giving us a
comfortable margin early. Every-
one looked solid on the offensive
end.
The following day, Stanford
faced fourth-seeded USC in a re-
match of last years national cham-
pionship game which Stanford
painfully lost, 10-9. The two squads
were quite familiar with each other,
as the semifinal matchup marked
their fourth meeting this season.
Two of the meetings this season
involved overtimes, including a 10-9
triple overtime game when Stan-
ford and USC were ranked No. 1
and No. 2, respectively.
This time around, the Cardinal
made things a little less dramatic,
doubling up the Women of Troy 8-4.
Strong performances by senior
leaders were the theme of this game
and the weekend as a whole
against USC, senior driver Kim
Krueger led all scorers with three
goals.
We work so hard in practice to
make practice just like the game,
Krueger said. I went out there and
did what I knew I could do. It really
helps when I know I have all my
teammates behind me.
Senior goalie Amber Oland,
meanwhile, had ten saves in the
cage and held USC to one goal in
the first half.
We really focused on stopping
[USCs] 6-on-5, Oland said. We
knew where they were shooting.
Weve scouted them a ton and went
out there and executed.
Oland equaled USCs first-half
offensive production before the
match was over, scoring a goal of
her own on a pool-length toss with
1:05 left in the game.
The win over USC put Stanford
into the final against Cal. MPSF
Player of the Year and sophomore
two-meter Annika Dries led the of-
fensive attack against the Bears
with a game-high five goals, avoid-
ing any drama as she scored three
goals in the first half to give Stan-
ford a comfortable 4-1 lead.
We planned to give [Dries] the
ball,Tanner said. They dont have
defenders that can match up with
her. She was unreal so explosive
and determined. Our whole team
did a great job of setting her up.
On the defensive end, Oland had
another stellar performance with
eleven stops. She stopped a penalty
shot that led to an offensive run by
the Cardinal, padding its lead to 6-1
early into the second half.
Between [Krueger] and
[Oland], they had their two best
games each in their four-year ca-
reers,Tanner said.
Stanford defeated Cal for the
second time this season by a final
score of 9-5 to claim the national
title. Oland, Dries, Seidemann and
Krueger were named to the NCAA
All-Tournament First Team with
Dries named as the Most Valuable
Player.
It was a wonderful day,Tanner
said.

The great streak is finally over.
And going with it, in a small sense, is
Stanfords heartbreak.
Entering Thursdays game, a 71-
59 victory for Stanford over goliath
Connecticut (12-1), the No. 1
Huskies had won 90 consecutive
games, including two straight na-
tional championships. It was the
longest winning streak in the histo-
ry of NCAA Division I basketball,
narrowly beating the 88-game mark
set by the UCLA mens team from
1971-1974 under former Bruin head
coach John Wooden.
That is, until Jeanette Pohlen
launched the No. 9 Cardinal (9-2)
into cruise control over the Huskies
at Maples Pavilion on Thursday.
The senior guard posted a career-
high 31 points. She kick-started the
offense with a game-opening three-
pointer, and the Cardinal never
gave up that lead. Pohlens perform-
ance was the highlight of a feel-
good victory for Stanford, which
had fallen to Connecticut in the
Final Four in two consecutive ap-
pearances.
The game was no doubt marked
on Stanford head coach Tara Van-
Derveers calendar before the sea-
son began; the last meeting of the
coast-to-coast rivals was in the 2010
national championship game, which
VanDerveers Cardinal seemed to
have in control before falling to the
Huskies, 53-47.
Its not a national champi-
onship, she said. But this was a
great night for us, and were excit-
ed.
The Cardinal jumped out early
on the Huskies, building its lead as
high as 13 points in the opening
frame. Connecticut showed re-
silience, though, posting an 11-2 run
to pull within 34-30 at the end of the
half.
But that was as close as Con-
necticut would come. With leading
scorer Maya Moore going just 5-for-
15 with 14 points including a

think he was exposed in the game.
He had a couple interceptions; he
fumbled a snap; he seemed pretty
rattled. I think that helped us out.
Comparatively, Luck had a very
strong game to lead the Stanford of-
fense, going 16-20 for 235 yards and
two touchdowns, with no intercep-
tions. Luck was also first on the team
in rushing with three carries for 72
yards.
After the game, Stanford head
coach Jim Harbaugh called Luck
the best college football player in
the country,and his teammates had
similar words of praise.
Hes the greatest player Ive
ever seen,Taylor said.He makes it
a lot easier its hard to play de-
fense out there against him; he can
run and pass. We all see him week in
and week out; hes a great quarter-
back.
The win was also significant for
Stanford, as it broke a recent string
of futility in Big Game matchups.
Cal had won the last three Big
Games and seven of the last eight,
and theres no doubt the rivalry
added an extra dimension to the
game for both teams.
We knew there was going to be
a lot of emotion in this game, Luck
said.Obviously, youre not going to
be able to pull out all of those emo-
tions . . . it was a little tough not try-
ing to get involved in everything, but
we knew we just had to play foot-
ball.
Last years close Big Game also
played into Lucks motivation.
Stanford had opportunities to win
that game, but eventually fell, 34-28,
after a Luck interception late in the
game.
I definitely had some motiva-
tion coming off of last years disap-
pointment, Luck said. But, that
being said, it was a new year and you
cant really dwell on the past too
much.

senior Alex Busaglias mark of
15.400, which tied for the best score
of the night.
Stanford came through with a
season-best effort on the floor ex-
ercise, which may have pushed the
team over the edge in the final
standings. Sophomore Eddie
Penevs mark of 15.950 helped his
team secure the NCAAs second-
best floor score at 62.450, while
seniors Josh Dixon, Tim Gentry
and Buscaglia all posted scores of
15.300 or above.
The Cardinal struggled a bit on
the pommel horse and still rings,
but pulled into a comfortable lead
in the vault. Lieberman and red-
shirt junior Abhinav Ramani
boosted Stanford into the lead with
vault scores of 15.850 and 15.950,
respectively. Dixon, Buscaglia and
Gentry then all but secured Stan-
fords victory with marks of 16.000,
16.350 and 16.250.
With the win, the Stanford
squad captured its fifth title in pro-
gram history the others came in
1992, 1993, 1995 and 2009. Glielmi,
who took over as head coach in
2003, now has two championships.
Stanford is just the second
school in history to boast 100 team
championships, behind UCLAs
nation-best mark of 106. The title
also continues a remarkable streak
for Stanford, which has won at least
one NCAA Championship for 35
years.
The mens gymnastics team wasnt
quite done, as members of the team
returned to action on Saturday for
the NCAA Individual Champi-
onships. Buscaglia led the way, tak-
ing home his first-ever individual
title on the horizontal bar. He was-
nt alone in earning commenda-
tions, as six Cardinal gymnasts
earned a total of nine All-America
honors.
As the NCAA leader on horizontal
bar for nearly the entire season,
Buscaglia lived up to his reputation
with the lights-out score of 15.750,
winning by nearly half a point.
Adding to a career night, Buscaglia
earned All-America honors on the
parallel bar with a sixth-place score
of 14.400.
Gentry had a phenomenal night as
well, earning a remarkable three
All-America honors with top-eight
finishes on the rings, vault and floor
exercise. The senior now has seven
All-America honors in his career.
Dixon and Penev added to their
All-American totals with fourth-
and fifth-place finishes on the floor
exercise, while Foreman and fresh-
man Chris Turner became first-
time All-Americans on the parallel
bars and pommel horse, respective-
ly.
The meet marks the end of an in-
credible season for Stanford, which
regained its title as NCAA champi-
on and established its program as
one of the best in recent history.

QB Luck shuns NFL,
returns to Cardinal
By WYNDAM MAKOWSKY
MANAGING EDITOR
Lets face it: Andrew Lucks de-
cision to return to school does very
little for his football future. Hes a
finished product who was the guar-
anteed No. 1 choice in 2011. Hed be
a multimillionaire multiple times
over come April. So why come
back?
Its a Rorschach test for peo-
ples values system.
Thats his father, Oliver Luck,
talking to the (many, many) people
who question Lucks choice. Be-
cause for his son, its not about the
millions: its about education, and
its about the potential to take Stan-
ford to heights unseen in the mod-
ern era. In an era where the idea of
the amateur athlete is questioned
on a seemingly day-to-day basis,
Lucks decision epitomizes the con-
cept of the student-athlete. And the
rub is this: its not that surprising.
His public statements hinted at him
staying, and the decision fits exactly
with his humble, studious persona.
But armchair quarterbacks, wal-
lowing in their ignorance, will al-
ways question that which they do
not know. So lets break this down,
and look at why Luck stayed. To do
so, lets first look at the reasons to
leave. They number exactly two:
money and injury risk.
To the first: the NFL is currently
negotiating a new Collective Bar-
gaining Agreement (CBA), with
one of the tenets being a rookie
wage scale. Simply put, the idea of
first-year players making the most
money at their position before play-
ing a snap is troubling to many.
When the new CBA is signed, the
salaries are expected to be far lower
than they are now that is to say,
Sam Bradfords $50 million in guar-
anteed money is a thing of that past.
But not so fast: the CBA discussions
are heated, and a lockout is entirely
possible. If that happens, a draft will
still occur, but no scale will be im-
plemented. If that is the case, then
Luck would have one shot to make
a dramatic sum of money off the
bat.
By 2012, a scale will be in place,
and hell stand to make tens of mil-
lions of dollars less. But Luck comes
from a financially secure back-
ground, and has made it clear over
and over that money is not an object
for him; his fathers comments con-
firm it. Even if the wage scale lowers
his earning power to about three
million a year Peter Kings pro-
jection hes still in the top two
percent of wage earners in the Unit-
ed States. More than enough to live
comfortably, and if he really is as
good as hes projected to be, hell
make his tens of millions on his next
deal.
To the second: Luck is the guar-
anteed No. 1 pick in 2011. He is also
all but guaranteed No. 1 in 2012.
Any scout from coast to coast will
tell you that he is a historically gift-
ed prospect; some say hes the best
since Peyton Manning, while others
say hes the best since John Elway.
No player will supplant him if he
stays healthy. (Perish any Jake
Locker comparisons one guy is a
quarterback; the other is a superior
athlete who throws the ball occa-
sionally.) Manning was projected
No. 1 after his junior year, remained
in school, and went No. 1 after his
senior season. If hes injured, its
still unlikely, unless its (knock furi-
ously on wood) career-ending.
Bradford was projected to go first
overall in 2009, went back to school,
got injured and barely played, then
still went No. 1 in 2010.That is to say,
Luck is almost certainly going to be
the first person walking across the
stage in New York in April 2012,
even if his arm is in a sling. Hes not
exactly hurting his draft stock by
staying.
With those two concerns aside,
why go? If there is indeed an NFL
lockout, he wont be able to partici-
pate in mini-camps and might have
to miss part of the season. Luck is a
football player; he doesnt want to
sit on the sideline. The team hed be
going to, the Carolina Panthers, is

up as Stanford reignited its offense
in the second half. Moore, who
posted a game-high 23 points
against the Cardinal in last years
national championship, has aver-
aged 24.8 points per game this sea-
son.
Shes human, VanDerveer
said.
Speaking for herself, Moore
gave credit to Stanfords size and
assertiveness.
They played a physical game
against us. It was that simple, she
said.
It didnt help that Pohlen
scored a pair of threes in the first
10 minutes of the second half, help-
ing Stanford push its lead back up
to a comfortable 55-44. Down the
stretch, Pohlen closed out the
rally-savvy Huskies with six free
throws in the last 42.5 seconds of
the game.
As impressive as her career-best
effort was, Pohlen wasnt alone in
putting up big offensive numbers
on Thursday. Junior forward
Nnemkadi Ogwumike had a solid
performance of her own with 12
points, while senior forward Kayla
Pedersen added 11 more.
However, it was Stanfords pun-
ishing defensive work that hurt the
Huskies most. The Cardinal held
Connecticut to just 20-for-61 shoot-
ing, good for only 32.8 percent.
Stanford was more efficient, scor-
ing 25 field goals on 55 shots.
While the win will certainly be
remembered most for shutting
down Connecticuts record-break-
ing streak, it has some added signif-
icance for the Stanford faithful. In
killing the streak, Stanford showed
that it could still dance with UConn
after being the last team to defeat
the Huskies, eliminating them from
the 2008 postseason with an 82-73
victory.
The Cardinal also pushed a
streak of its own for consecutive
home wins up to 52 with the vic-
tory.
And it certainly felt like a home
game. Despite students being most-
ly off campus, Maples Pavilion was
packed with a sellout crowd of
7,329, all eager to see the nationally
televised rematch of last years top
two squads in person. After the vic-
tory, VanDerveer and Pohlen both
stepped back onto the court to
thank the crowd.
VanDerveer was sure to con-
gratulate Connecticut and head
coach Geno Auriemma for their
record-breaking streak, but for her,
the focus of Thursdays outcome
was a little different.
Im just happy for our team,
she said. The streak is something
that they did. Were about Stanford
and what we want to do.
After a stunning finish to its
non-conference season, Stanford
will have to stay tough as it seeks an
11th straight Pac-10 title. With the
playoffs coming afterward, the Car-
dinal may meet up with the Huskies
once more.

Alumnus David Shaw
named head coach
By WYNDAM MAKOWSKY
and KABIR SAWHNEY
Stanford has named offensive
coordinator and running backs
coach David Shaw 95 the newest
head coach of the Cardinal football
program. Shaw was officially intro-
duced at a press conference on
Thursday afternoon.
Shaw, who played wide receiver
for Stanford in the early 1990s, takes
over the title of Bradford M. Free-
man Director of Football from Jim
Harbaugh, who left the Farm for the
San Francisco 49ers after four sea-
sons. Shaw served with Harbaugh
throughout his time at Stanford, as
well as at the University of San
Diego.
A favorite of players and alumni
alike, Shaw enters the top spot after
a coaching search that saw most of
its focus on in-house candidates, so
as to provide continuity with the
highly successful Harbaugh era.
Aside from Shaw, associate head
coach Greg Roman, defensive coor-
dinator Vic Fangio and special
teams coordinator Brian Polian
were interviewed. Stanford had a
brief flirtation with Boise States
Chris Petersen before he reaffirmed
his commitment to his current
school.
Shaw, 38, confirmed that he plans
to keep using the philosophy that
Harbaugh instilled during his
tenure, building a physical, running
team on offense and an aggressive,
hard-hitting defense. He said that he
was not willing to rest on the accom-
plishments of last season, when the
Cardinal capped its first 12-win sea-
son in history with a victory in the
Orange Bowl.
Take the 2010 season out-
standing, phenomenal. Were going
to put it in a box, were going to put
a ribbon on it, were going to put it
on the shelf for everybody to ad-
mire, Shaw said. But our goals are
not met.Were not done . . . we have
a desire to be the first Pac-12 cham-
pion.
Shaw also expressed his desire to
build a consistently strong program
at Stanford while embracing the
Universitys focus on academics.
Two good years of football is
not enough, he said. Thats not
what were aiming for. Were aiming
for consistency, for a team thats
going to make Stanford University
proud every time we step on the
field.
Athletic director Bob Bowlsby
said that he had serious discussions
with three external candidates
about Stanfords head coaching po-
sition and contacted four other
coaches, but he declined to name
any of them.
This is, in my estimation, the
most logical step that we can take,
Bowlsby said at the press conference.
[Shaw] is a proven recruiter. Hes
got great college and NFL experi-
ence. He understands and embraces
the athletic and academic merger at

notoriously cheap to the point
where it refuses to sign free agents.
Its not exactly the best situation.
But forget the NFL. Luck, a high
school valedictorian and a dedicat-
ed student in a time-intensive engi-
neering degree program, gets a
chance to finish his degree. In its
press release, Stanford made that
seem like his primary reason for
staying.
In a football sense, with Luck
under center, Stanford is a legiti-
mate national title contender next
season, even with the team hemor-
rhaging seniors. And, in terms of
Jim Harbaugh, lets not overlook
the timing of this announcement
from the time Luck came out with
his decision until The Dailys print
deadline, Stanfords chances of
keeping its coach have seemingly
risen dramatically, with the Miami
Dolphins dropping out and the
Cardinal reportedly matching San
Franciscos offer. Luck gives Har-
baugh an incentive to stay when 24
hours prior, it seemed like Har-
baugh had one foot out the door.
Finally, if he cared about individ-
ual accomplishments he doesnt,
but everyone else does Luck is
the clear Heisman favorite going
into 2011 and almost surely a con-
sensus preseason first team All-
American.
Which is all to say: the chance for
a title, the ability to complete his
undergraduate academic career
and the knowledge that hes practi-
cally guaranteed to be the top pick
in 2012 means theres more than
enough reason to stay in school.

was going in. I got good position on
my man and got a fortunate roll.
The Huskies (12-4, 4-1 Pac-10)
are the highest-ranked team de-
feated by the Cardinal (10-5, 3-1)
in head coach Johnny Dawkins
tenure.
I thought it was a terrific
game, Dawkins said. Both teams
came out and played with a lot of
heart. It was a defensive battle by
both teams and we were fortunate
in the end.
The Stanford defense was
staunch throughout, holding the
Huskies scoring offense
ranked third in the nation coming
into the game to nearly 33
points below its season average.
The Cardinal forced 15 turnovers,
including two key blocks by Owens
in the final minutes, and made cru-
cial stops down the stretch to close
what was once an 11-point Wash-
ington lead.
When asked about the differ-
ence in the game, junior guard
Green was quick to respond.
Defense, he said. Thats why
we win games.
After a traveling violation by
Stanford freshman forward Dwight
Powell, the Huskies had a chance to
tie or win the game with 1.1 seconds
left. Washington found the hot
hand in senior forward Justin Holi-
day, but his contested shot fell short
to seal the game for the Card.
The game didnt look promising
from the tip, as three minutes of
scoreless play to begin the game
were marred by sloppy play by
both squads. Stanford finally found
its rhythm, thanks in large part to
the effort of Owens, who led the
Cardinal with 14 points on 7-of-9
shooting.
The junior dominated the
Washington big men in the first
half with a series of baseline
jumpers and a soft touch around
the rim. He was also responsible
for a potential highlight of the year
a one-handed slam over seven-
foot Washington center Aziz NDi-
aye that sent the crowd at Maples
Pavilion into a frenzy.
To tell you the truth I didnt
think I was going to dunk it at
first, Owens said. I beat my man
off the dribble and I just realized,
Hey, why not try to finish strong,
and just went up.
The Cardinal led by as many as
six points in the opening half, but
Washington hung tough behind
play from junior guard Isaiah
Thomas. The reigning Pac-10 Tour-
nament Most Outstanding Player
left Stanford freshman Aaron
Bright befuddled and single-hand-
edly kept his team in the game de-
spite foul trouble for his star team-
mate, junior forward Matthew
Stanford University. His contribu-
tion to the current state of affairs in
our football program is immeasura-
ble, and he is a person of impeccable
character and integrity.
In Shaw, Stanford has found a
young coach with eight years of
NFL experience who is also likely to
be seriously dedicated to the Farm.
He is the 34th coach in the pro-
grams tenure, and no head man has
stayed for more than nine years.
I went into the interview
process with the mindset that I
wanted this to be my last head
coaching interview ever, Shaw
said. Referring to the Stanford
womens basketball coach, he
added: I want to be in the 25-and-
up club that Tara VanDerveer is in.
Shaw began his coaching career
immediately after his graduation
from Stanford, heading first to
Western Washington before head-
ing to the Philadelphia Eagles for
his first NFL job. He remained in
the professional ranks until he
joined Harbaughs staff in San
Diego in 2006, then came to Stan-
ford with Harbaugh the next year.
For his first three seasons with the
Cardinal, he operated as both the
wide receivers coach and offensive
coordinator, but in 2010, while re-
taining his coordinator title, he
switched his focus to running backs.
Now, he becomes the first Stan-
ford alumnus to lead the Cardinal
program since Paul Wiggins 57,
who did so from 1980-1983.
Quarterback Andrew Luck, last
seasons Heisman Trophy runner-
up and the early favorite to win the
award in 2011, spoke about Shaws
hire as well.
Hes a Stanford man, Luck
said. Ive known that since he was
recruiting me coming out of high
school. He has a deep, abiding love
and respect for Stanford. You can
really tell that. Hes going to do a
wonderful job with this program
and the players are behind him 100
percent.
Luck commented on the differ-
ences in style between Harbaugh
and Shaw.
Hes definitely a lot different
than Coach Harbaugh in a lot of as-
pects, he said. Its just different
personalities and people go about
things differently. I wouldnt say
theres one right way to do it.
Shaws appointment comes at a
critical time for Stanford, which will
host about 20 recruits on campus
this weekend. Shaw will also have to
work to keep Roman, Fangio and
other members of Harbaughs staff,
some of whom have received inter-
est from other schools and profes-
sional teams. However, he chose not
to elaborate on Stanfords attempts
to retain those coaches and its
search to fill open assistant posi-
tions, saying, Well talk about that
as the week goes on.

Stanford Athletics received
zeronet income from the football
teams recent trip to the Orange
Bowl, according to officials in the
department. The Daily was unable
to independently verify this figure,
as Athletics declined to provide its
NCAA expense report or other fi-
nancial documentation.
I would say roughly, at the end
of the day, with all things being con-
sidered, well break even, said
Brian Talbott, chief financial officer
for Stanford Athletics. We broke
even at worst.
Officials within the Universitys
budget office, including University
CFO Randy Livingston, did not
comment on financial returns from
the Orange Bowl and directed all
inquiries to Talbott.
The Cardinal defeated Virginia
Tech, 40-12, in the Jan. 3 game, held
at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gar-
dens, Fla.
Stanford earned revenue from
its bowl trip through a payout from
the Pacific-10 Conference, which
pools bowl revenue from all of its
teams and distributes it to schools
to cover bowl-related expenses,
chiefly travel and tickets. Stanford
paid for transportation, lodging and
meals for the team, the band and
University administrators and was
required to cover 7,500 tickets
out of an allotment of 17,500 from
the Orange Bowl that it was un-
able to sell.
In terms of profit, Stanford
ranked in the middle among teams
that participated in the Bowl Cham-
pionship Series (BCS).
Talbott added that Stanford
broke even on its trip to last years
Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, where it
lost to Oklahoma, 31-27.
That would be my goal for any
bowl to break even on a strict
revenue and expense basis, in the
hope that the fact that you went to a
bowl creates those ancillary bene-
fits, he said.
Ancillary benefits
Though Stanford was unable to
profit directly from the Orange
Bowl, Talbott pointed out that play-
ing in the game will bring the athlet-
ics program a wide range of bene-
fits, many of which are not quantifi-
able now but could translate into fi-
nancial gains in the long term.
We know the numbers that the
Pac-10 gets as a payout; we know
what it costs us that piece is
easy, he said. Whats a lot tougher
is quantifying the ancillary benefits:
how many more ticket sales were
going to get this year than last year
because we went to the Orange
Bowl, how many more donations
are we going to get this year be-
cause we went to the Orange Bowl,
how much better is our recruiting
going to be because we went to the
Orange Bowl.
Season ticket renewals for next
year are already up Talbott said
he expects to beat the 90 percent re-
newal target substantially and
even though new ticket sales have
yet to open, Athletics has already
collected four times as many de-
posits to date as it did for all of last
year.
Even taking it a little further,
the more people who come to any
game for us, the more theyre going
to have to pay to park, the more
theyre going to buy concessions,
the more theyre going to buy mer-
chandise,Talbott said. All of these
things trickle down.
The publicity from the game, es-
pecially because it was the only
football game on during the 8 p.m.
EST timeslot, could also be benefi-
cial in recruiting players and retain-
ing coaches. He noted that while
coaching impacts are felt more im-
mediately, the recruiting gains will
probably be seen in the 2012 class,
as this years group had already
committed by February.
Everybody was watching, Tal-
bott said. That gets recruits eyes;
they say, Hey, I could be on TV if I
play for Stanford. And it helps re-
tain coaches to some extent, al-
though it makes them more popular
too, so they could leave, but coaches
like to be part of a successful pro-
gram.
Talbott also noted that the Uni-
versity as a whole could reap finan-
cial benefits from its football victo-
ry, as donations could benefit from
the Orange Bowl being a very pub-
lic success.
It should break even, from a
strict revenue and expense related
to the bowl itself perspective, he
said. I find it hard to believe that
we wont see significant upside in
those secondary areas that will
make it well worthwhile over time.
Sizing up the competition
Nine other universities partici-
pated in last seasons BCS, a set of
five marquee bowl games including
the national title game and the Or-
ange Bowl. From a profit stand-
point, Stanford was right in the mid-
dle of the pack.
Unlike Stanford, which is a pri-
vate institution, public universities
are required to disclose their
NCAA bowl expense reports upon
request due to open-records laws,
most notably the federal Freedom
of Information Act. For the eight
public schools that participated in
the BCS, The Daily was able to col-
lect detailed financial information,
including figures for profit or loss.
Among those schools, only two
Ohio State and Wisconsin
made a significant profit, with the
Buckeyes earning $288,876 on their
trip to the Sugar Bowl and the Bad-
gers receiving $79,168 from the
Rose Bowl. Two other teams, Okla-
homa and Arkansas, were close to
break-even the Sooners earned
$9,350 from the Fiesta Bowl, and
the Razorbacks received $5,525
from the Sugar Bowl.
The remaining four schools took
significant financial hits. Most no-
table was Connecticut, which lost
just under $1.8 million on its Fiesta
Bowl trip. Virginia Tech, the Cardi-
nals opponent in the Orange Bowl,
lost $421,046. Both participants in
the BCS National Championship
Game, Auburn and Oregon, ended
in the red, with the Tigers paying
$614,106 and the Ducks losing
$312,437.
Records were not available for
the Rose Bowls second participant,
Texas Christian University, because
it is a private institution.
It appeared that conference af-
filiation was an important factor in
determining whether a team made
or lost money. Both Ohio State and
Wisconsin are members of the Big
Ten Conference, which generally
pays out more revenue to its mem-
ber schools than other conferences.
For perspective, Ohio State re-
ceived $2 million from its confer-
ence for its bowl appearance, while
Virginia Tech received just $1.725
million from the Atlantic Coast
Conference (ACC).The Pac-10 also
appeared to be slightly more gener-
ous, as Oregon received just under
$2.3 million with the caveat that
the Ducks played in the title game
and thus were expected to have
higher expenses as well.
The Daily also compared finan-
cial returns from the two partici-
pants in the 2010 Orange Bowl,
Iowa and Georgia Tech. The
Hawkeyes made a $55,954 profit,
while the Yellow Jackets took a
$198,910 loss. However, the two
teams did have a large gap in rev-
enue, with Iowa getting $1.95 mil-
lion from the Big Ten compared to
Georgia Techs $1.6 million payout
from the ACC.
Flaws in the bowl system
Matt Sanderson, one of the co-
founders of Playoff PAC, a political
committee whose goal is to estab-
lish a playoff for college football,
discussed Stanfords bowl finances
and the flaws of the bowl system
in general in an interview with
The Daily.
It shows you how bizarre this
system is, that actually breaking
even on a bowl is considered a suc-
cess story, he said.
Jeff Passan, a Yahoo! Sports
columnist and a co-author of the
book Death to the BCS, added
that it was surprising and not sur-
prising that Stanford broke even
on the Orange Bowl.
Surprising, sure, because its
peers in BCS-level bowl games al-
most all took massive baths, he
wrote in an email to The Daily. Its
not surprising because the Stanford
athletic department always has
struck me as being more conscien-
tious than most.
Passan also said that not being a
traditional football powerhouse,
like Virginia Tech or Ohio State, ac-
tually made it easier for Stanford to
break even.
The difference between a
school that breaks even and one
that bleeds is conscientiousness,he
said. Football rules Virginia Tech.
Everyone wants a part of it . . .
Rather than leave itself open to crit-
icism for being like every other
school and overvaluing football,
Stanfords approach was pragmatic:
enjoy the experience, dont go over-
board.
Sanderson said that the bowl sys-
tem, and the BCS in particular, is set
up to make it difficult for universi-
ties to make profits.
Theres a lot more revenue that
college footballs decision-makers
are leaving on the table,he said.If
we were to move to a playoff, a lot
more revenue would be available to
participating schools and to schools
that dont participate in the play-
off.
Much of the blame for the distor-
tions in the bowl system is placed on
ticket guarantees, where participat-
ing schools are required to sell a
certain number of tickets and cover
any unsold ones. Thus, bowls trans-
fer the majority of financial respon-
sibility onto the participating
schools and actually take very mini-
mal risk.
The bowls are foisting blocks of
overpriced tickets on schools,
Sanderson said. Fans can hop on
StubHub and get the same tickets
for a fourth of the price. The bowls
are pushing all the risk of not selling
tickets off onto the schools.

Your achievements and

up to the world!
cessitating universities and confer-
ences to purchase tens of thousands
of tickets at full price, when ticket
brokers and resale services offer
day-of-game tickets for as little as
10 percent of face value, elucidates
more than anything what a terrible
deal bowls are for schools, Passan
said.
The money trail: from bowls to con-
ferences to schools
Stanfords zero profit estimate is
based on a number of expenses
most substantial among them are
unsold tickets and travel expenses
for the team, the band and Univer-
sity administrators and one
major revenue source: a bowl pay-
out.
According to the BCS media
guide, supplied by the Orange Bowl
Committee to The Daily, the BCS
pays out $21.2 million to each of the
six automatic qualifying confer-
ences, including the Pac-10, plus an-
other $6 million if a conference
qualifies a second team for the
BCS. This season, both Stanford
and Oregon qualified for the BCS,
giving the Pac-10 a $27.2 million
payout in total.
The Pac-10 also received pay-
outs from its other bowl teams, Ari-
zona and Washington, which played
in the Alamo and Holiday bowls,
respectively. The conference pools
these payouts to cover travel and
unsold ticket expenses for each par-
ticipating team and then divides the
remainder equally among all 10
conference teams, regardless of
their involvement in a bowl.
Basically what happens is all of
our bowl revenue is brought into
one pot from every bowl game we
participated in this year, from the
Championship Game, roughly $17
million from that, $6 million from
the Orange Bowl and then theres
the other bowl games: the Alamo
Bowl and the Holiday Bowl, said
Kirk Reynolds, vice president of
public affairs for the Pac-10.Those
revenues all come into one pot,
minus the expenses from each, and
then the rest is distributed among
all 10 institutions.
Stanford would have gotten,
because they played in a BCS game,
$1.4 million plus change, and then
travel expenses for 600 people, he
said.
However, it seems the bulk of
that went this year to covering trav-
el and tickets. Stanford had an obli-
gation to sell 17,500 tickets to the
Orange Bowl but only managed to
sell about 10,000, a figure given by
Talbott and corroborated by
Reynolds.
We did not meet the ticket ob-
ligation, Talbott said. We sold or
used about 10,000 tickets and our
obligation was about 17,500, but
part of the payout from the bowl to
Pac-10 is used to help offset some of
those ticket that we werent able to
sell, so at the end of the day, we
wont have to eat 7,500 tickets.
The payout from the Pac-10 also
helped cover Stanfords travel ex-
penses, which included an eight-
night stay for the team at the
Fontainebleau Miami Beach as
well as three nights at the Renais-
sance Eden Roc Miami Beach for
the band, according to Max Chang
13, director of public relations for
the LSJUMB. The University also
chartered a plane for about 130 of
the 180 band members and subsi-
dized travel for the rest.
Despite the pooling of both risk
and revenue achieved by the Pac-
10, significant differences existed
between the three other Pac-10
bowl teams. Due to its participation
in the BCS National Championship
Game, Oregon received a much
higher expense allowance and had
much higher expenses than the
other two schools. NCAA bowl ex-
pense reports revealed that Ari-
zona lost $274,932 on the Alamo
Bowl, while Washington came out
slightly ahead on its Holiday Bowl
trip, with a $3,796 profit.
Both teams had roughly equiv-
alent expense allowances of
around $1.1 million. However, the
Wildcats were forced to cover
$552,375 in unsold tickets, while
the Huskies only had to take
$102,130 in ticket losses, with those
figures coming after the Pac-10s
contributions to covering unsold
tickets. Oregon paid for $555,575
in unsold tickets on its way to a
$312,437 loss, out of a $2.2 million
expense allowance.

Tablo battles attacks
on Stanford record
By KATE ABBOTT and
WYNDAM MAKOWSKY
Daniel Seon Woong Lee, better
known in Korea as recording artist
Tablo, graduated from Stanford
with a seemingly uncontroversial
record: two English degrees, a bach-
elors in 2001 and a masters in 2002.
But over the past six months, an In-
ternet campaign has launched at-
tacking Lees credentials and, he
says, threatening him and his family.
Lee, the frontman of premier Ko-
rean rap group Epik High, became
aware of the allegations that he was
not a Stanford graduate in March,
when he began receiving threats to
his Twitter account. The sources of
the attacks were netizens vocal
participants in an online community
who question the validity of
Lees Stanford degrees. An inter-
vention from Stanford Registrar
Tom Black and a letter from English
professor Tobias Wolff did little to
help stop the movement.
Initially, we treated this as a rou-
tine check,Black said.But Lee is a
moving target. Lee had an A aver-
age, and thats the kind of thing they
would stretch. Exaggerations get
made when something like this goes
viral.
The campaign to discredit Lees
degrees exploded. One of the largest
antagonists, the netizen group We
Urge Tablo to Tell the Truth,
formed in May and now has more
than 131,000 members, according to
Korean journalist So-young Sung.
The allegations range widely that
Lee has exaggerated his grade point
average and that he claims he was
best friends with Reese Wither-
spoon when she attended Stanford,
for example.
The Internet rumor was that my
entire Stanford experience and all
of my credentials are fraudulent,
Lee wrote in an e-mail to The Daily.
Over time, this allegation spawned
many others that my entire fami-
ly is a fraud, that Ive stolen and
lived someone elses identity, et
cetera and has escalated to the
point where my entire existence is
being questioned. Some of the alle-
gations are even based on fabrica-
tions of what Ive said or done . . .
its all very confusing.
Black said verifying a persons
degree from the University is not an
unusual practice, but he has never
seen a case this severe. Black re-
leased a copy of Lees transcript,
and when that did not prove satis-
factory, he wrote a letter vouching
for Lees attendance and gradua-
tion. Recently, Black allowed cam-
era crews to film him printing a de-
gree to show that none of the
process is fraudulent.
Ive tried to put all the resources
that are permissible into this,Black
said, because only I can officially

Bryan-Amaning.
Stanford led by three with just
seconds left in the half, but a
Thomas floater over the out-
stretched arms of Cardinal fresh-
man forward Dwight Powell at the
buzzer closed the gap to 29-28. De-
spite losing most of its lead, the
Cardinal managed to keep the
Huskies high-powered offense to
just 35.7 percent shooting.
Washington head coach Loren-
zo Romars halftime adjustments
paid off immediately for his squad.
The Huskies, behind consecutive
threes from senior forward Justin
Holiday, began to pull away in the
first 10 minutes of the starting pe-
riod, leading by as many as 11
points with 10:37 left on the clock.
However, the home team
wouldnt go down without a fight.
Down 51-41 with 8:55 remain-
ing in the game, Stanford went on a
run of its own. Aggressive play by
Owens and junior guard Jarrett
Mann, coupled with freshman for-
ward Anthony Browns putback,
brought the Cardinal within a
point with 4:17 to go.
A three by Green gave Stan-
ford its first lead since the 18:43
mark in the second half, and the
team never looked back.
With just 2.5 seconds left in the
game, Holiday had a chance to tie
the game with a pair of free throws.
He missed the front end, and de-
spite the regaining of possession
by the Huskies, Stanfords defense
proved too suffocating.
I think we did a great job on
every possession, Dawkins said.
We really focused in on defense
and made it as difficult on them as
we could to make any baskets.
Despite one of the most memo-
rable wins in recent history, Stan-
ford has just one day to regroup.
The Cardinal is set to host Wash-
ington State at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

But if things had turned out a bit dif-
ferently in the fall of 1999, would we
have been able to attribute the cre-
ation of Facebook to Stanford as
well?
It was in 1999 that three Stanford
seniors, Tuyen Truong 00, Lawrence
Gentilello 00 and Aaron Bell 00
founded their start-up Steamtun-
nels.net, a social networking website
that paired information from the
1999 version of Stanford Who, called
WhoIs, with the photos in Stanfords
printed Facebook. Steamtunnels is
seen by some as a separate but early
form of the Facebook that exists
today.
In addition to the Facebook com-
ponent, Steamtunnels also featured
a restaurant guide, events calendar,
bulletin board, online radio stations,
a textbook price comparison feature
and maps of Stanfords physical
steam tunnels on campus, the
founders said in a recent interview
with The Daily.
We were always thinking of
ways to liven up the scene here,
Truong said of the then-seniors de-

sion. All three later joined Theta
Delta Chi.
Their last years of college coin-
cided with the dot-com explosion.
There was some ridiculous num-
ber like eight legitimate startups and
$50 million raised in venture capital
in Theta Delt during the three years
that we were there,Gentilello said.
The trio was inspired to put the
printed Facebook in an online for-
mat because students and fraterni-
ties asked to borrow the trios copies
so frequently.
Bell, a computer science major
who began working at Microsoft
when he was 15 years old, did most of
the programming for the site, which
he said was difficult without open-
source code.
Truong posted students photos
on the site by scanning the print
Stanford Facebooks in Meyer Li-
brary, where he was supposed to be
working on his honors thesis in biol-
ogy.
They never had a single, official
launch, as the trio first spread word
of the site on an e-mail list they sent
to friends about bar nights and social
events. So the website already had
users before freshmen arrived in the
fall.
Gentilello recalled the trios early
plans for expansion.
Our vision for Steamtunnels,
when we started it, was to expand it
to colleges across the country,Gen-
tilello said.
They configured the site to re-
strict access to only those with an IP
address on campus and a Stanford e-
mail address.They also had a feature
on the site where users could accept
or deny the posting of their photo.
We thought, How awesome
would it be if you met a John at a
party and go on and type in John and
find every John, Jonathan, Johnny,
and their info, what dorm theyre in,
what classes theyre taking?
Truong said.
As the sites About Us page
stated in 1999,Lets face it, the Face-
book is an integral part of Stanfords
social structure: you poured over it
freshman year getting to know your
class, and now it remains a desktop
reference more cherished and
abused than your Websters Dictio-
nary . . . we put the Facebook on-
line.
However, only a week after the
release of the beta version of the site,
the trio said the University pushed
for Steamtunnels to shut down, cit-
ing potential Honor Code violations
and removing Gentilello and Truong
from academic advising positions.
They recalled a meeting with admin-
istrators who confronted them about
shutting the site down.
We were like Woah, woah, these
pictures are public. Every student on
campus has these,Truong said.
They really scared us, Gentilel-
lo said, adding: We werent pre-
pared to be kicked out of school for
this, so we folded.
Nadira Hira 02, who wrote the
original articles about Steamtunnels
for The Daily and now writes for
Fortune magazine, believes that the
success of Steamtunnels was hin-
dered by its timing.
I think the fact that it was so
ahead of its time put the administra-
tion on the defensive, she said. I
dont think that was a function of
them trying to stifle innovation. I
think they just were not prepared for
something like this to happen just
yet.
In an e-mail to The Daily, Marc
Wais, who was dean of students at
the time, defended the administra-
tions actions.
In my meetings with students
that I can recall, everyone acted in a
polite, professional and respectful
fashion. At the end of the day,
though, I realize that the students
were not happy that we were asking

THE GRAPHIC NOVEL COURSE 2011
English 190G, Fall 2011, MW 3:15-5:05, lab M 6:15-9:05 (5 units)
Instructors: Scott Hutchins and Shimon Tanaka
Creative Writing Program
Department of English
Stanford University
Stanford, CA 94305-2087
Attn: Graphic Novel
Are you an artist, writer, designer, or
an all-around team player?
We need you for the Graphic Novel course in Fall 2011-2012!
Admission to this course is by application only. We will
collaboratively write, design, and illustrate a 200+ page graphic
novel. This will be an intense, challenging, rewarding class, but
with a heavy workload.
To apply, include on one side of a sheet of paper: your name,
email, major, minor, graduating year, any creative writing, art, or
design classes youve taken, with the instructors name. And two
paragraphs: one that briefly describes your interest in the
course, and the second, of no more than three sentences, that is
a pitch for a possible story based in nonfiction (a sample of the
kind of ideas youd bring to brainstorming sessions over the
first couple of weeks of class).
On the other side of the paper: Anything. Text, graphics,
illustrations, etc. Communicate your skills, experience, and
enthusiasm.

Tablo, Lee received a masters degree in English through Stanfords co-term program in the same year.
attest to his completion.
Black believes people are dis-
puting the evidence because they
couldnt absorb it.
I think they assume someone
would put his education to better
use,he added.
My full transcript and Stan-
fords official verifications have
been on the net since June, Lee
said. Ive tried to get the truth
across, but its been strangely diffi-
cult to do so, and anybody who has
tried to help me has been attacked
in similar ways.
Since Lees transcript was posted
online, it has been viewed more
than 16,000 times, according to
Black.
During his time at Stanford, Lee
staffed in Okada as an ethnic theme
associate from 2000 to 2001 and
worked at the CoHo, where he also
performed music.
Nadinne Cruz, the Okada resi-
dent fellow during Lees time on
campus, remembers him as very
polite and cooperative and a seri-
ous student of literature.
She described him as a quiet soul
with an interest in playwriting. His
career choice was surprising to her,
given his subdued personality and
professed love for classical texts.
We had conversations about
the state of the world and the
human condition, Cruz said. We
talked about identity. He was a Ko-
rean from Canada studying in
America. He lived in many different
worlds.
Lee pursued these questions
through writing and published a
book in 2008 Pieces of You
composed entirely of stories written
during his time in college. General-
ly, Lee has not shied away from his
Stanford experiences, speaking of
them often in public appearances.
Sung, who writes for the Joon-
gAng Daily and has followed the
diploma story, said Korean enter-
tainment agencies often market
celebrities academic backgrounds.
Lees tendency to discuss earning
both of his degrees in four years
through the English co-term pro-
gram doesnt seem plausible to
many Koreans, Sung said.
Lee is not the first celebrity to be
targeted by viral campaigns. Two
Korean entertainers killed them-
selves because of malicious com-
ments posted by some netizens,
Sung wrote in an e-mail to The
Daily, referring to Choi Jin-sil in
2008 and Uni in 2007.
This Tablo case is very closely
associated with Koreas deep-root-
ed culture of judging someone by
their educational background,
Sung added. I think Tablo men-
tioned Stanford quite frequently
whenever he appeared in TV shows
. . . and that made some netizens
jealous of him.
The accusers obsession is so
strong that Sung received a litany of
aggressive e-mails and phone calls
after conducting an interview with
Lee that some readers viewed as too
cooperative.
There appears to be little, if any-
thing, that will placate Lees attack-
ers. He and the netizens have taken
legal action against one another, but
Lee acknowledged that discovering
the truth might not play any part
in his accusers motives.
Some have expressed that they
want me, and my family, to disap-
pear, Lee said. To a degree, they
may have already achieved what
they want.
I actually talked to one of those
netizens and he didnt even know
Tablo received an electronic tran-
script from Stanford, Sung said.
Nothing will satisfy them. I think
they just want to believe what they
want to believe.
Black said that he does not think
the netizens will stop asking ques-
tions. He has stopped responding to
e-mails concerning Lee.
Its all just rumor and innuen-
do, Black said. Its not truth
theyre after. Its just to ruin his life.
Lee maintains that he is not
angry and even waited several
months before pursuing legal ac-
tion. He hopes a documentary air-
ing this weekend in Korea (Tablo
Goes to Stanford, on Korean net-
work MBC) will vindicate his repu-
tation.
I ask that you dont develop the
impression that what is happening
to me is in any way a reflection of
my homeland, he said. Korea has
been host to some of the most beau-
tiful moments of my life. The event
discussed here only reflects the pos-
sible downside of social media any-
where.
But a cultural divide still seems
to remain.
We think about global citizens,
Black said, but sometimes the rest
of the world isnt ready for them.

them not to go forward as they had
planned, he said. We were con-
cerned primarily about student pri-
vacy and safety. We were not com-
fortable in having any students
Stanford Facebook picture on the
Web without that student providing
prior consent or choosing to opt
in.
The trio kept a private, pass-
word-protected version of the web-
site open for the remainder of their
senior year (steamtunnels.net/
backdoor), and they believe the
University never discovered the
second site. The founders say that
they would have kept trying much
harder at the Facebook component
if they knew how huge a similar site
would become.
The website still made waves
across the country and caught the
attention of two entrepreneurs in
Boston. They flew Bell, Gentilello
and Truong out to Las Vegas and
put them up in a suite in the Venet-
ian, convincing them to join them in
making Steamtunnels Magazine,
the founders said.
In retrospect, it was a big mis-
take, Gentilello said. We had a
killer app and those are rare and we
should have stuck with it. But we
got tempted by being whisked off to
Vegas and given fat salaries, so we
started pursuing this magazine.
The magazine was a weekly in-
sert, like Parade magazine, and was
distributed to more than 230 col-
lege newspapers, but the company
folded after the dot-com bubble be-
cause of high overhead costs.
The founders do not appear to
harbor any ill will toward Wais or
the administration, but they believe
the University pressured The Daily
to remove Hiras stories from the
newspapers website when Face-
book became popular. No stories
dated before 2001 appear on The
Dailys site now, though the print
archives still exist at the newspa-
pers office and in the Media Micro-
text Center in Green Library.
Several former editors in chief
who worked at The Daily between
2004 and 2006 responded to ques-
tions for this story; they and Hira
say they were not involved in any
discussions to remove the stories.
Several did mention technical dif-
ficulties with the website over the
years as possible explanations for
the stories alleged disappear-
ances.
At the end of his interview with
The Daily, Bell tried to convince the
rest of the trio to watch The Social
Network with him in Mountain
View. One can only surmise that if
fate had twisted slightly differently,
maybe the new film would have
been about them.
