Three Books panel ends NSO
By MARGARET RAWSON
DESK EDITOR
After a week of orientation activities,
Stanford freshmen took on this years topic,
ethics of war, Sunday afternoon at the an-
nual Three Books panel discussion.
This years books focused on issues of na-
tional security. Scott Sagan, political science
professor and co-director of the Center for
International Security and Cooperation
(CISAC), who also moderated the discussion
in Memorial Auditorium, made the selections.
The class of 2015 was mailed copies of the
three books over the summer. Sundays Q&A
with the authors marked the end of New Stu-
dent Orientation.
The theme of this years talk was war
ethics, a particularly timely topic as the Fac-
ulty Senate voted last April to end the 40-year
ban of ROTC on campus.
The Violence of Peace:Americas Wars in
the Age of Obama by Yale Law School pro-
fessor Stephen L. Carter 76 examines Presi-
dent Barack Obamas views on the morality
of war; One Bullet Away: The Making of a
Marine Officerby former United States Ma-
rine Corps Captain Nathaniel Fick chronicles
Ficks officer training, as well as his service
and adjustment to civilian life; and March
by Geraldine Brooks, the only piece of fiction
among the three, captures the untold story
from Little Women by imagining the Civil-
War experience of Mr. March and his wife,
Marmee.
Sagan introduced the three authors while
noting Stanfords goal of creating cultured
and useful graduates and his hope that the
class of 2015 will learn that reasonable peo-
ple can disagree.
Fick reflected on why he chose to become
a marine and the moral dilemmas he faced as
a leader. He, too, discussed the need for open
dialogue.
Its not sufficient to say Oh, thats for
someone else, thats not for our kind of peo-

UNIVERSITY
Construction
begins on final
SEQ building
By JOSH HOYT
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Construction began this summer on the
final building in the Science and Engineer-
ing Quad (SEQ), which will house the bio-
engineering and chemical engineering de-
partments.
This building will be the fourth in the
SEQ, joining the Jerry Yang and Akiko Ya-
mazaki Environment and Energy Building
(Y2E2) and the Jen-Hsun Huang School of
Engineering Center and the Center for
Nanoscale Science and Engineering. It is ex-
pected to be completed in summer 2014 and
is currently called Building 4.
According to the Stanford Department
of Project Management, the new building
will most closely resemble Y2E2. The ener-
gy efficiency for the two buildings will be al-
most identical. For example both will fea-
ture solar technology and natural light.
Building 4 will connect with both Y2E2 and
the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engi-
neering on its basement level.
The new building will focus on providing
collaborative laboratory space for two rela-
tively new disciplines while creating unpar-
alleled undergraduate laboratory facilities.
The new building will have teaching
laboratories that are so far beyond what we
have now that it will really be wonderful for
undergraduates, said chemical engineering
professor Curtis Frank, chair of the faculty
committee devoted to the buildings con-
struction.This will be the best teaching lab-
oratory at the University.
While Frank is a faculty member in
chemical engineering, his primary research
is in materials sciences, and many other
members of his department have interdisci-
plinary research. The layout of the SEQ and
Building 4 allows for this collaborative ap-
proach to engineering.
This building is right next door to Y2E2,
and there are a number of faculty, including
myself, that have ties to civil and environ-
mental engineering, he said. At the same
time, about a third of the faculty do very
similar research to that which goes on in bio-

President Obama recently nominated
Michael McFaul B.A., M.A.86, political science
professor and senior fellow at the Freeman
Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI)
to the United States ambassadorship to Russia.
McFaul, who has served as special assistant
to the president on national security affairs, di-
rector of Stanfords Center on Democracy, De-
velopment and the Rule of Law and senior di-
rector for Russia and Eurasia at the National
Security Council, is an academic expert on the
transition to democracy in developing countries
including in Russia after the collapse of the
Soviet Union and has written over 20 books
on the subject.
After completing a dual bachelors degree in
international relations and Slavic languages as
well as a masters in Slavic and East European
studies at Stanford, McFaul received a Rhodes
Scholarship for his Oxford doctorate in interna-
tional relations. He has been studying U.S. rela-
tions with the Soviet Union and subsequently
Russia ever since.
This is one of the most important ambassa-
dorial appointments in the entire realm of U.S.
foreign relations, said political science profes-
sor Larry Diamond B.A., M.A.73, Ph.D.80 and
a colleague of McFauls. I think its a great trib-
ute to himhis skill, his knowledge, his per-
formance at the National Security Council
and the confidence that President Obama has in
him that he has been tapped for this very impor-
tant position.
McFaul declined to comment until his am-
bassadorship is confirmed.
McFaul has been affiliated with the Obama
administration since the 2008 presidential cam-
paign when he advised the then-candidate
through the tension surrounding Russias inva-
sion of Georgia that summer.
He is undoubtedly one of the best prepared
individuals to be ambassador to Russia, certain-
ly in the post-Cold War history of Americas re-
lations with Russia and probably for several
decades,Diamond said. He has been studying
post-Communist Russia since the collapse of
the Soviet Union . . . I dont think anyone
would dispute the fact that hes probably one of
the top-three or four academic specialists on
Russia in the United States.

Engineering prof.
Carlson dies at 72
By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF
Robert Carlson, a longtime pro-
fessor at the School of Engineering,
died Sept. 6 of leukemia at his home
in Palo Alto, according to the Stan-
ford Report. Carlson was 72.
Carlson, a native of Granite
Falls, Minn., studied mechanical
engineering at Cornell University
in 1962 and earned a masters de-
gree in operations research in 1963
and a doctorate in mathematical
sciences in 1976 at Johns Hopkins
University.
After a stint as part of the techni-
cal staff in the Operations Analysis
and Economic Studies Department
of Bell Labs in Holmdell, N.J., Carl-
son came to Stanford in 1970, where
he worked until this year.
At the Farm, Carlson taught and
researched production and capacity
planning; new product develop-
ment; manufacturing strategy; and
sustainable product design, devel-
opment and manufacturing. He also
served as chairman of the Depart-
ment of Industrial Engineering and
Engineering Management.
Outside of the School of Engi-
neering, Carlson also taught at the
Graduate School of Business and
held visiting faculty positions at the
University of California-Berkeley,
the Amos Tuck Business School at
Dartmouth College and the Interna-
Special Assistant to the President
McFaul appointed by Obama

A STANDARD
STANFORD
SUMMER
Alyssa London
12 interned this summer
in Microsofts Worldwide
Partner Group
(WWPG) in Seattle.
Microsoft had always
intrigued her.
I grew up in Bothell, right next
to the Microsoft campus, she said.
Im interested in tech, and Mi-
crosoft always seemed like the pow-
erhouse, the model of how things
started in tech innovation.
London worked in the WWPG
with a product called SharePoint.
Microsoft and other companies
structure their partner network in a
way such that partners can distin-
guish themselves, London said.
SharePoint is software designed
to help companies make better de-
cisions by setting up websites to
share information, manage docu-
ments and publish reports.
While working there, London
felt that she was an integral part of
the team.
They entrusted me with a real
project, London said. I did real
work. I got to contribute.
As a part of the team, London
lived the corporate life. She flew
down to Los Angeles to participate
in the Worldwide Partner Confer-
ence, an experience complete with
rooftop parties, a trip to the ESPYs
and meetings with business part-
ners.
Microsoft went all out, she
said.
While London found it to be an
engaging internship experience, she
also wants to remain open to oppor-
tunities with smaller businesses as
she begins her job search after col-
lege.
Other students, like Michael
Diaz 13, chose to conduct research
at Stanford this summer. Diaz
served as a research assistant in the
HBREX program for Dr. David
Spiegel, professor of psychiatry and
behavioral sciences. He worked day
after day, practically never leaving
his desk in order to finish compos-
ing a chapter about posttraumatic
growth in cancer patients for a psy-
cho-oncology textbook.
Druthi Ghanta 14 also stayed in
the Bay Area. She worked as a re-
search analyst for California Com-
mon Sense (CACS), the Stanford-
initiated think tank whose mission
is to improve government fiscal
transparency. CACS is in the midst
of building an online data trans-
parency portal comprised of infor-
mation from California counties
and officials. Through her experi-
ence, Ghanta explored her new-
found passion for computer science,
economics and public policy.
Taking well-calculated risks to
follow my passions will give me
more fulfillment than taking the
safe . . . routes, Ghanta said.
Others took advantage of what
Stanford had to offer. Kevin Hurl-
butt 14 worked as a counselor with
children ages nine to 10 at Stanford
Sierra Camp (SSC). Despite suffer-
ing a broken leg and sprained ankle,
Hurlbutt embraced his camp expe-
rience.
SSC provides an environment
in which the staffers are not only en-
couraged but in fact required to be
creative, he said.
While at SSC, Hurlbutt acted in
an improvisation show, performed
in a puppet show, researched con-
stellations and wrote an introducto-
ry skit with the other counselors.
While Hurlbutt remains a
prospective chemistry major, he
now strives to explore more outlets
for the arts at Stanford.
Sarah Weston 14 chose to study
copies of William Blakes Songs of
Innocence and Experience abroad
using a grant from Undergraduate
Advising and Research (UAR).The
University, through UAR, funds
grants designed to support inde-
pendent undergraduate research.
For two weeks, she conducted re-
search at the British Museum in
London, the Library at Kings Col-
lege and the Fitzwilliam Museum at
Cambridge University, all while
learning the ins and outs of Eng-
land.
Whether through interning, re-
searching, counseling at camp or
going abroad, Stanford students
never failed to stay busy.

A
s Stanford students return
to campus this fall,
theres one question on
their minds: what did you
do last summer? Its a
way to connect with others, to learn a
little more about their peers and to ex-
plore possible opportunities. Many Stanford stu-
dents do not take the summer off they do not simply return
home to lounge on the couch and watch television, despite how
relaxing that may sound. Instead, students venture into un-
charted waters, exploring new ways to add to their experiences
with internships, research and volunteering.

1his oourse traoes the emergenoe of a female voioe in Persian poetry and prose writing in the
19th and 20th oenturies and, although fooused on women's poetry, it will also explore the
oontribution of women to the wider lranian literary soene during this period, one of the most
turbulent of modern lranian history. 3tarting at the dawn of the 19th oentury, this oourse will
trst examine the existing, indigenous tradition of women's poetry in ajar lran, in partioular
that of the lath-Ali 3hah period (1797-1834). 1he foous of the oourse will then shift to the
emergenoe of liberalist, modernist, and proto-feminist poets and writers in the late 19th and
early 20th oenturies, moving to women poets' subsequent reoontguration of (and ultimate
break with) olassioal poetio forms. 1he oourse will oulminate in an in-depth disoussion of
the ioonoolastio and disruptive tgures of 3imin Behbahani (b. 1927) and lorugh larrokhzad
(1935-1967), key tgures in the development of Persian poetry in the late 20th oentury.

1he state of nature, a hypothetioal oondition of human existenoe before the establishment
of sooieties, is a devioe many early modern thinkers use to address questions about ethios,
justioe, and politios. lusing biblioal narrative and geometrio reasoning, aooounts of the
state of nature illustrate the overlap and tension between religion, soienoe and philosophy.
uestions inolude whether philosophers and artists aotually believe in the state of nature,
how it was imagined differently in poetry, the novel, and philosophy, whether it was used to
legitimize or undermine existing politioal struotures, and why it is relevant in today's sooiety.
3eleoted readings from Pobbes, Looke, Milton, Lefoe, Montaigne, Montesquieu, Liderot.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
W
ar, like Janus, has two
faces: the war we see and
the war within us caused
by what we see. Ten years this
month into the war on terror, we are
winning the former, but at the cost
of the latter winning, in other
words, the physical battle but losing
the fight for our hearts and minds.
The good news: it is not too late to
turn the tides of war. The bad news:
it will be soon. Let me explain.
Osama bin Laden, the grand ar-
chitect of the Sept. 11 attacks, is
dead, and justly so. His henchmen
are scattered and in disarray. We
have not suffered a terrorist attack
of large scale since Al Qaedas
deadly strike 10 years ago. Are we
safer, stronger and more powerful
than we were on Sept. 10, 2001? Per-
haps. But we are also undeniably
and disturbingly a bit less Amer-
ican. We have become less like our-
selves open, tolerant and fear-
less and more like our enemies
narrow-minded, parochial and
afraid. In seeking to kill us, the ter-
rorists have failed. In seeking to
change us for the worse, they are
slowly succeeding.
The proof of our enemies quiet
victory is all around us, and
nowhere is that creeping victory
more obvious than in the words of
those who most loudly proclaim
their opposition to it.
When we become who they want
us to become to use a hackneyed
phrase I hereby promise never to
use again the terrorists win. The
terrorists win when major Republi-
can politicians launch a campaign
to derail the construction of a Mus-
lim community center in New York,
because the terrorists have proven
that we are who they say we are: a
nation at war with Islam, not terror.
The terrorists win when state gov-
ernments amend their constitutions
to explicitly ban sharia law, because
they have proven that we have no
faith in the strength of our judiciary.
The terrorists win when Terry Jones
burns a Koran, because they have
succeeded in turning people of dif-
ferent faiths against one another in
anger in a country that has always
prided itself on religious freedom
and acceptance. The terrorists win
when American pundits and politi-
cians call Islam a religion of hate,
because that is precisely what they
want Islam to become. The terror-
ists win every time you look
askance at the guy wearing a turban
on your airplane, because they have
caused us to fear, rather than trust,
one another. And the terrorists win
every time the nation they are at-
I DO CHOOSE TO RUN
When the terrorists win

The Dailys independent status is
something Ive come to take very
seriously. After spending this past
summer reporting in Sub-Saharan
Africa, a region where the press is
not completely free, I have come to
see a liberalized press as a truly es-
sential aspect of a humanitarian,
democratic society, and something
we should never take for granted.
I was working at an investigative
newspaper in South Africa, where
the government has a history of
censoring media. The walls of the
newsroom were covered with front
pages where headlines exposed
government corruption. Within
stories, quotes and the names of
sources were blacked out with ink
before the paper went to press,
swallowing up information the
public would never read.
Just earlier this month, the South
African parliament approved a
draft of the secrecy bill, which, if
passed, is expected to bring the
death of investigative journalism in
the country.
Amid the threat of censorship,
one thing sustains these journalists:a
fundamental belief in their country
their community and its po-
tential to overcome any challenge.
It is this same belief in a commu-
nity in the Stanford community
that motivates our reporters and
staffers, to offer you the best cover-
age of Stanford that we can.
I encourage you to pick up The

llow me to introduce myself:
my name is Bianca Chavez,
and I am That Freshman.
You know, the one that upperclass-
men can see from miles away, even
before they notice my inappropriate
choice of footwear. (Tip: wearing
high heels to class is not cute, unless
your version of cute involves getting
stuck in the grass as you hobble
painfully for 25 minutes). Im the
one who buys all of her books from
the Stanford Bookstore. Im the one
who needs a map in order to locate
the Quad and will still probably
need to ask for directions at least
once. Im the one who still thinks
Stern Dining is good.
Basically, I know nothing about
life in college, except for one thing: it
can be horrifically awkward. Over
the last six days, my fellow frosh and
I have been forced to endure hun-
dreds of handshakes, thousands of
introductions and countless ice-
breaker games that completely fail
at breaking the ice. (Learning some-
ones favorite food, Steve Carell-
centric movie and adjective that be-
gins with the letter D does not
make me feel more comfortable
around him; rather, I usually just
want to fight after hearing he didnt
like Crazy, Stupid Love).
But a million lame introductions
pale in comparison to enduring the
awk-fest that was The Real World:
Stanford.Whats more fun than lis-
tening to the horrors of sexually
transmitted infections, date rape, al-
cohol poisoning and assault for two
hours? Oh thats right, being forced
to discuss the horrors of sexually
transmitted infections, date rape, al-
cohol poisoning and assault with 30
bros in my hall (I see you, Twain!).
Even though watching The Real
World made me want to crawl
under a chair and die, it was not the
most uncomfortable part of NSO. I
believe that honor goes to Satur-
days New Student Party which
my RA Akshay appropriately
dubbed The Awkward Freshman
Party. Where I come from (Bum-
Fuck Nowhere, California), dances
are magical events where hundreds
of students sweat, gyrate and hook
up in the school gym while listening
to the musical stylings of Wiz Khali-
fa. Kids at my high school would call
you a nun if you werent bent over on
the dance floor. So imagine my sur-
prise when I walked into the Arrilla-
ga Alumni Center and saw, not hun-
dreds of sweaty bodies moving in
unison, but . . . board games.And in-
stead of baby making, people were
standing around in awkward, single-
sex circles. (Apparently privileged
white boys cant dance. Who knew?)
Besides the fact that I no longer had
Rachel Berry bangs, I felt like I had
returned to Thomas Jefferson Mid-
dle School.
So its safe to say that NSO may
have been more than a wee bit awk-
ward, but it has also turned out to be
one of the most exciting weeks of
my life. However, the parts that ex-
cited me most werent the lectures
given by distinguished members of
the University or the performances
by talented student groups or the

Your Sisters Sister
Set in the idyllic Pacific Northwest, writer-di-
rector Lynn Sheltons latest feature (and one of
my personal festival favorites) Your Sisters
Sisteris a humorous and witty take on the
nuances of friend and family relationships. At
the behest of his best friend Iris (Emily Blunt),
Al (Mark Duplass) ventures off to her familys
cabin for some quality alone time in the
woods to try to come to terms with his broth-
ers death a year earlier. But instead of peaceful
isolation, he finds Iris sister Hannah (Rose-
marie DeWitt), who has taken refuge there in
order to nurse a bad breakup with a bottle of
tequila. What begins as an innocent night of
drinking and commiserating eventually ends
with them waking up together when, lo and
behold, Iris arrives in the morning bearing
groceries. The next several days unfold in a
tangled web of emotions as both Hannah and
Al, for their own reasons, try to hide their tryst
from Iris, while Iris begins to think her feel-
ings for Al have evolved from being just
friends. Needless to say, all relationships are
put to the test. Under Sheltons writing and di-
rection, the interplay between the trio has a
raw and unscripted feel, but less in a reality
television way and more like the audience is a
ghost in the house experiencing the drama in
real time. The intimacy and verisimilitude are
all a part of the films charm. While the scope
of the story may be slightly limited, the intri-
cacies of the characters will draw you in and
leave you wanting more.
Juan of the Dead
Capitalizing upon the success of recent zom-
bie comedies, Alejandro BrugusJuan of the
Deadfollows a group of unlikely heroes as
they cope with the destruction of their home-
town, Havana, at the hands of an undead out-
break. A hilariously violent action flick that
doesnt quite outdo its British predecessor
(2004s Shaun of the Deadfrom director
Edgar Wright), Brugus Cuban-set story is
nonetheless a refreshing and thinly veiled po-
litical allegory. Juan (Alexis Daz de Villegas)
and his best friend Lazaro (Jorge Molina) are
two average slackers engaging in their favorite
pastime, drinking rum on the roof of their
tenement while spying on those below and in
adjacent buildings, when they begin to notice
people behaving a bit strangely. Cuban news-
casters calmly inform the public that it is
merely an issue of social dissidents paid off by
the American government, but after seeing
one up close, the two friends quickly realize
that the city has a much bigger problem on its
hands. Holing up on their roof, the two are
soon joined by Lazaros brawny son and Juans
estranged daughter, the neighborhoods

Frank confirmed that a donor
gave funds toward the naming
rights for Building 4 but is current-
ly remaining anonymous. The yet-
unnamed Building 4 is designed to
embody the Stanford Challenge, a
five-year plan articulating Stan-
fords commitment to grappling
with global problems.
The building will be a physical
manifestation of the leap in the
recognition for these two fairly
new disciplines. Currently, the 50-
year-old chemical engineering
program is spread among three
different facilities. Having a desig-
nated home is important for estab-
lishing larger undergraduate pro-
grams, and the administration ex-
pects dramatic growth in bioengi-
neering.
Frank described much of the re-
search facilities for current chemi-
cal engineering students as having
been carved out of a stock room
and a loading dock. Bioengineer-
ing also sees a similar need for
space.
Bioengineering has a very
small number of undergraduates,
but the expectation is that the un-
dergraduate department is going
to be very large, Frank said. Bio-
engineering is going to be a major
attractor for the University.

Researchers develop
light-responsive
heart cells
Stanford researchers announced
the development of heart cells that
can be paced with a light technology
known as optogenics in a study
published last week.
The researchers, including lead
author, postdoctoral scholar and
doctoral candidate in bioengineer-
ing Oscar Abilez, described the ram-
ifications of their invention in a press
release by the Schools of Medicine
and Engineering.
In the near term. . . the advance
will provide new insight into heart
function,the statement said.In the
long term, however, the develop-
ment could lead to an era of novel,
light-based pacemakers and geneti-
cally matched tissue patches that re-
place muscle damaged by a heart at-
tack.
The researchers developed the
cells by inserting a light-sensitive
protein into human embryonic stem
cells.The protein controls the flow of
ions, especially sodium, in and out of
the cells and therefore manages
their pacing. When the protein is ex-
posed to a special wavelength of
blue light, it opens channels in the
cell membrane to allow an influx of
sodium, creating a contraction.
Optogenics technology, which
can be used to control a variety of
mammal cells, was invented by Karl
Deisseroth, assistant professor in
bioengineering as well as psychiatry
and behavioral sciences.
The long-term goal of creating
light-based pacemakers resolves is-
sues seen in todays devices.
Pacemakers fail mechanically.
The electrodes can cause tissue dam-
age,Abilez said.
Defibrillators, on the other
hand, can produce tissue damage
due to the large electrical impulses
that are sometimes needed to re-
store the hearts normal rhythm,
said Ellen Kurl, senior author of the
study and professor of mechanical
engineering.
For example, researchers ex-
plained the design behind a pace-
maker that would not touch the
heart itself but instead control the
surrounding pericardium tissue.
Instead of surgically implanting
a device that has electrodes poking
into the heart, we would inject these
engineered light-sensitive cells into
the faulty heart and pace them re-
motely with light, possibly even from
outside of the heart, said Christo-
pher Zarins, professor emeritus of
surgery and director of the lab
where the experiments were per-
formed.

Stanford Hospital
opens Brain Tumor
Center
Last Wednesday marked the
opening of Stanford Hospital &
Clinics Brain Tumor Center, an ini-
tiative aimed at bringing specialized
and collaborative care to address
one of the hardest conditions to
treat, according to Gordon Li, one of
two specialists hired to supplement
the centers staff, and an acting pro-
fessor in neurosurgery.
The brain is a lot more mysteri-
ous than the heart or lungs, and its
who we are, what defines us, said
Lawrence Recht, professor of neu-
rology and one of the centers
physicians, in a press release. That
raises the impact of a brain-tumor
diagnosis.
Tumors that originate in the
brain are still rare compared to
many other health conditions, he
continued. So it makes a differ-
ence if you are treated at a place
where they know what theyre
doing. We have virtually every pos-
sible discipline and specialty repre-
sented here, with a large body of ac-
cumulated experience. That can
make a big difference in results for
patients.
In accordance with these collabo-
rative goals, the center will not be
housed in its own building but rather
will represent a conceptual con-
glomeration of several departments,
including neuropathology, imaging,
neurosurgery, neurology and neuro-
oncology. The program will also in-
clude social workers and specialized
nurses.
In the press release, center direc-
tor and professor of neurosurgery
Griffith Harsh said the projects goal
is to give patients the highest quali-
ty of care, delivered with a matching
level of efficiency.
Patients will also have access to
clinical trials and research at Stan-
ford. This treatment-research part-
nership has been instrumental in
producing the innovative care for
example, minimally invasive tumor
removal and imaging during surgery
which the press release advertises
as cutting edge.

ple, he said.
We cant simply watch things
happen and comment in the living
room, Carter said, expressing the
importance for citizens to question
their leaders.
Carter also discussed the deep
significance that the Sept. 11 attacks
have had for current college stu-
dents.
Brooks warned against placing
too much glory on war and stressed,
along with the other speakers, that
there are multiple forms of serv-
ice.
The authors gave an honest per-
spective on what the military is lack-
ing a discussion that some of my
country-mates are unwilling to
have,said Jack Cook 15, a member
of the incoming ROTC class.
Before the talk, Stanford Says
No to War set up a table outside
Memorial Auditorium and distrib-
uted free copies of other books, in-
cluding several titles by Noam
Chomsky and War Is a Lie by
David Swanson.
Josh Schott 14, president of the
student group, said he felt the Three
Books discussion presented an
overly narrow point of view, and
the group hoped to offer students a
broader perspective.
We feel this has to coincide with
the bringing back of ROTC,Schott
said. [The idea of] bridging the
civilian-military divide actually
means trying to militarize our cam-
pus.
U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corpo-
ral Sebastain Gould 13 attended
the talk and reflected on Ficks
book, saying he wished he could
read more about Ficks adjustment
to civilian life.
Its not as action oriented but as
integral a part of being a Marine of-
ficer,Gould said. Gould enlisted in
the Marine Corps after his freshman
year at Stanford and served in Iraq.
He described the discussion as a val-
ued supplement to the lack of
ROTC on campus.
I feared, I must admit, that hav-
ing a challenging set of books . . .
would cause some students to
slack, Sagan said, remarking that
he and the panel were impressed by
the quality and depth of the stu-
dent questions and touched by the
standing ovation.
Sagan said that Stanford previ-
ously held a bias toward certain
types of service, but if ROTC ac-
cepts Stanfords invitation to return
to campus, all forms of national
service would be on equal footing.
However, not all freshmen are
convinced.
Im conflicted about ROTC be-
cause they still do not let everyone
join, and they still have discrimina-
tory policies, said Adrienne von
Schulthess 15.

McFaul is also widely seen as the
architect of the Obama administra-
tions reset of U.S.-Russia rela-
tions after a period of strain.
In terms of his background for
the appointment, he is extremely
well prepared, said Stephen Kras-
ner, professor of international rela-
tions and a senior fellow at FSI.He
spent a lot of time in Russia in the
1990s when Russia was transition-
ing to democracy, and he has now
spent more than two and a half
years in Washington with the
Obama administration working on
Russian issues. So he has both gov-
ernment experience in Washington
and academic experience.
However, critics have questions
about whether McFauls reset
precedent is a solid foundation for
his ambassadorial duties.
Any solution which would end
the continuing imbalance and tug
of war within Europe and would
bring the military and political po-
tential of Russia within NATO
would impact greatly on the entire
global security situation, wrote
Gilbert Doctorow, a visiting scholar
at Columbia Universitys Harriman
Institute for Russian, Eurasian, and
Eastern European studies, in an
email to The Daily. And none of
this potential has been tapped
under reset, for which Dr. McFaul
is generally given paternity rights.
According to Diamond, Mc-
Fauls key role will involve balanc-
ing two main concerns.
On the one hand, [there is] the
need for the United States to have
an effective, pragmatic set of rela-
tions with Russia that can continue
to bring it into the international
community and have it be a respon-
sible player on global security is-
sues, whether those be the Middle
East or arms control or wherever,
Diamond said. And on the other
hand, he will be playing a role in try-
ing to advance American values
and principles and in trying to give
support and encouragement to a
variety of different political and so-
cial forces in Russia that are trying
to extend constitutional rights, af-
firm political pluralism and create a
more open society.

spunky transsexual. As the zombies
multiply, Juan, perpetually strapped
for cash, decides to milk the situation
for profit by charging civilians for
killing their undead loved ones.
Under Juans leadership, the group
makes a decent killing; that is, until
Havana becomes completely overrun
and it seems as though his crew are
the only humans left. At this point,
Juan decides that maybe they ought
to just hightail it to Miami, but with
their city infested with zombies, it
might be too late to make a break for
it.
Intruders
Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, last
seen with 2007s 28 Weeks Later,is
back on the scene with Intruders,a
thrilling supernatural tale that crawls
under your skin and toys with your
subconscious childhood fears. Mia
(Ella Purnell), a young English girl,
finds an unfinished short story hid-
den in a tree outside her grandpar-
ents house and decides to appropri-
ate it for a school assignment. Cut-
ting between her experience and that
of the storys rightful author, a young
Spanish boy, the film explores the
power of the imagination. Despite
being separated by time and space, as
both children become increasingly
absorbed in the story, its protagonist
begins to haunts them in eerily simi-
lar ways. At first it seems as though
the children are merely scaring them-
selves by playing into their own
words, but with the more they write,
the stronger the monster becomes, to
the point that the childrens parents
can see him too.Intrudersblurs the
distinction between fantasy and reali-
ty, and while certain elements may
not quite hold up after you leave the
theater, it is still thoroughly chilling.
Physical manifestations are less rele-
vant, the film seems to suggest, when
the real culprits of fear and innova-
tion are already present in the mind.
The Oranges
The Oranges,Julian Farinos riotous
mix of romantic comedy and dys-
functional family drama, is like the
anti-holiday movie that simultane-
ously plays into and subverts the usual
conventions. In the suburbs of New
Jersey (which inspired the films title),
live-at-home college grad Vanessa
Walling (Alia Shawkat) recounts the
fateful holiday season that forever
changed her family and their best
friends and neighbors, the Ostroffs.
Vanessa and Nina Ostroff (Leighton
Meester) were once best friends, but
somewhere around adolescence, Nina
became pretty and popular while
Vanessa remained a gawky outsider.
Years later, Nina finally returns home
for Thanksgiving after a bad breakup
and instead of falling for Vanessas
brother Toby (Adam Brody) like her
parents wish, she finds herself drawn
to David (Hugh Laurie), the Walling
patriarch. (Housefans may or may
not be pleased to see the actors paired
up again.) When the affair goes public,
both families are thrown into an up-
roar, culminating in one of the most
hilariously awkward Christmas Eves
ever recorded. The film flirts with the
age question in relationships, as Nina
and David face ceaseless judgment
from others, and despite their affec-
tion for one another, the issue is ever
present like a dark cloud over their
heads. Without spoiling who ends up
with whom, the message remains that
sometimes it takes a scandal of epic
proportions to put things in perspec-
tive.
The dud . . .
Sleeping Beauty
Emily Browning (Sucker Punch)
takes on another misguided feminist
role in director Julia Leighs haunting
debut Sleeping Beauty,in which
she plays Lucy, a struggling universi-
ty student who joins a sinister escort
agency in order to make ends meet.
After an initial meeting with Clara
(Rachael Blake), the manager of the
establishment, Lucy joins the lowest
ranks as a silver-spoon waitress
(read: serving drinks at private par-
ties while wearing lingerie). Eager for
higher wages, Lucy is promoted to
sleeping with the clients; Clara puts
her in a drug-induced slumber for
the night, during which the client
can do what he pleases so long as
there is no penetration. After per-
forming this duty several times,
Lucy, as any girl would, becomes cu-
rious about what exactly happens
when shes asleep. Naturally, this
breaches the clients confidentiality
(Claras only apparent moral scru-
ple), so Lucy embarks on a mission
to uncover the truth. While the
premise is not so far from reality,
what with the growing trend of
young female students seeking sugar
daddies to pay off their debts, Lucys
utter passivity does not make for a
very compelling story. No one in
Sleeping Beautyis particularly
sympathetic, and even the camera
seems to share in our indifference,
exploiting both the scantily clad
women and the creepy men who
hire them. If Lucy ultimately became
empowered by the experience in
some way or Clara and her clients
were punished, then perhaps the
narrative would feel less problemat-
ic. But instead, the film lacks purpose
and feels more like an excuse to look
at Brownings nubile body.

Alikes tomboyish demeanor (which
also includes a complete disinterest in
boys, school dances and normal
teenage-girl issues) greatly distresses
her mother Audrey (Kim Wayans),
who goes to great lengths to make her
elder daughter more like Candace
(Samike Cotton), Alikes girly
younger sister.
Audrey is mistrustful of Alikes
best friend Laura (Pernell Walker), an
out lesbian, and in an effort to sepa-
rate the two, introduces Alike to Bina
(Aasha Davis), the daughter of a
coworker. Bina represents everything
that Audrey wants Alike to be, but lit-
tle does she know that the girls blos-
soming friendship isnt strictly pla-
tonic. As Audrey tries to exert more
control over her daughter, husband
Arthur (Charles Parnell) pushes back
in Alikes defense, even though his
long hours away from home mean
that he doesnt know his daughter
half as well as he thinks he does. As
Alikes double life converges and be-
comes more open, it threatens to
drive a wedge through her parents al-
ready tenuous relationship.
Featuring an eclectic soundtrack
of indie, local and all-female artists,
music plays a crucial role as one of
Alikes escapes as well as something
that helps establish her relationship
with Bina. Combined with the inti-
mate cinematography,Pariah
brings Brooklyns Fort Greene neigh-
borhood to life in a vibrant and au-
thentic way.
Despite its outward appearance
as a niche story, the ability of Pariah
to resonate across broad audiences is
a true testament to Rees storytelling
ability. I was fortunate enough to at-
tend the gala screening (also attended
by Rees, Walker, Wayans and Oduye)
and ended up sitting next to a young,
black, lesbian couple. Its hard to say
who was more into it them or me,
the straight Asian girl from the West
Coast. But by the time the film ended
and the floor had opened up for
Q&A, the camaraderie in the audi-
ence was almost tangible.
The films biggest pleasure comes
from the setup and getting to know
its rich characters, especially the com-
plex web of deceit that is Alikes day-
to-day life. Moments like when Alike
changes out of her baggy jeans and
white t-shirt before going home be-
come as puissant as when she reads
her poetry, the purest outlet for her
self-expression, out loud in class. The
story feels slightly rushed as it heads
toward its conclusion but nonetheless
is sure to stay with you long after the
credits roll.

Welcome party
a sober success
L
ast night, thousands of Stan-
ford students enjoyed the
Welcome Home Fest,which
drew students to many programs
across campus.
The first event was an 8 p.m.
concert in Memorial Auditorium by
The Cataracs, preceded by an open-
ing set from Stanford-favorite Sex
Ray Vision (Ravi Parikh and Brian
Yoo 11). The duo took the stage for
the first hour of the show, hyping the
crowd up for the main attraction.
The Cataracs, a Bay Area DJ duo,
have produced radio hits including
Backseatand Bass Down Low.
The pair took the stage in front of a
full house, performing their old work
as well as giving students previews of
their soon-to-be-released work.
The duo abruptly left the stage
after 40 minutes, only to be called
back by the chanting crowd to per-
form Like a G6(they produced it
for Far East Movement), closing out
the night.
Arjun Aggarwal 13 was a key
event coordinator and thought the
concert was a hit with students.
We just wanted people to show
up and have a good time . . . I dont
think it could have gone any better,
Aggarwal said. Plenty of students in
the crowd agreed.
I thought The Cataracs were off
the hook,said Daniel Becerra 15.It
was an awesome concert . . . I had a
great time.
Following the show, students
chose from several programs, includ-
ing a comedy show featuring the
Stanford Robber Barons and SImps
as well as a FLiCKS doubleheader in
the Old Union Courtyard.
Though the events were put on
the New Student Orientation (NSO)
calendar, they were open to all Stan-
ford students and many upperclass-
men found something to enjoy.
Some looked for a more relaxed
atmosphere, like Lorena Rincon-Cruz
14, who stopped by the Ceramics
Raku Firing in White Plaza.
I was impressed at the number
of options there were on the schedule
compared to last year,Rincon-Cruz
said.It seemed like there was some-
thing for everyone to do.
Other students, however, looked
for a party atmosphere at Tresidder
Union, where the traditional NSO
BROC Party, sponsored by the Black
Recruitment and Orientation Com-
mittee, took place.
[The party] was great,said
Community Coordinator Tayo Amos
14, who helped organize the party.
We had a full house, and it was defi-
nitely a good start to the year.
In all, students considered the
Welcome Home Fest,which organ-
izer Stephen Trusheim 13 called a
test runof a new Stanford initiative
to bring more alcohol-free program-
ming to campus, a success.
I thought it was a great night . .
. I hope we have more options like
these in the future,Rincon-Cruz
said.

tacking becomes a little less worth
defending every time its values
are corrupted, its guiding lights
darkened, its character marred in
the name of fighting terror.
Force, by necessity, must occa-
sionally be fought with force, and
this America is doing with all its
considerable might. But intoler-
ance cannot be fought with intoler-
ance; hate cannot be fought with
hate; religious bigotry cannot be
fought with religious bigotry. This
we have done too often and to our
lasting detriment.
We can only win the ongoing
war for our nations soul by re-
maining who we once were: an
open society, a free society, a toler-
ant society. And most of all, we
must remain an optimistic society
confident in the values that
have animated our past and secure
in a pluralist vision of a bright
American future.
A story: Late in Khaled Hossei-
nis beautifully compelling debut
novel The Kite Runner, narrator
and protagonist Amir returns from
an immigrants life in California to
visit a childhood friend in his native
Afghanistan. Rahim Khan has be-
come terminally ill, but a desperate
Amir refuses to hear deaths knock
at the door, suggesting experimen-
tal treatments, new drugs any-
thing to save his old friend, com-
panion and mentor. I see, mur-
murs a dying Rahim Khan, that
America has infused you with the
optimism that has made her so
great. Thats very good.
Strange, isnt it, that it should
take a minor fictional character,
created by an author born and
raised in a country weve since
bombed to pieces, to remember
what we all seem to have forgotten:
that Americas greatest strength
lies in her optimism. But 10 years
this month into the war on terror,
we are slowly forgetting that and
our deadly forgetfulness is gradual-
ly destroying us from the inside, as
silently and inexorably as the can-
cer that eventually consumed
Rahim Khan.
So dont forget our past selves
they were better. And to say
something else I promise never to
say again keep America Ameri-
can. Its worth it.

MANAGING EDITOR
With clear skies and temperatures
around 80 degrees, conditions were per-
fect as the mens and womens cross
country teams opened their respective
seasons at home on Saturday morning
at the Stanford Invitational.With a little
help from All-Americans Chris Derrick
and Kathy Kroeger, both Cardinal
teams kicked off the year in style,
sweeping both the individual and team
titles.
It appeared as though the Cardinal
was in a bit of trouble in the mens race.
While the quartet of senior Derrick, fel-
low senior Jacob Riley, sophomore Erik
Olson and redshirt junior Ben Johnson
were up front from start to finish, there
was a sizeable gap to the fifth Stanford
runner,Tyler Valdes, three miles into the
8-kilometer race.
UCLA looked to take advantage of
the schism, pushing the pace with its
own fivesome and holding a slight edge
over the Cardinal in what quickly
shaped up as a two-team race.
Our original plan was to go out and
stay in a pretty close pack with the
whole team, Riley said. But the race
went out pretty brisk, and it being the
first race for a lot of the freshmen and
also being at home made it a little more
difficult to do that.
Valdes, however, rose to the occasion
and moved through the field over the
final two miles, passing many runners
who couldnt keep up with the front-
runners quick pace. The redshirt soph-
omore finished 17th in a personal-best
24:27, giving Stanford a 25-point victory
over the Bruins.
Riley was pleased with how the team
performed in its first race of the season,
particularly since head cross country
coach Jason Dunn held several Cardi-
nal runners out in order to rest them for
next weeks race at Notre Dame.
Overall, it was a solid performance,
but by no means are we content,Riley
said after the race. It was the first meet
of the season, and anything that hap-
pens here isnt necessarily going to
make or break the year.
The highly anticipated debut of
freshmen twins Joe and Jim Rosa was a
success, with Joe finishing in 24:23 and
Jim in 24:52. And the back end of Stan-
fords lineup came on strong, with red-
shirt sophomores Travis Edwards and
Kenny Krotzer crossing the line in 40th
and 51st places, respectively.
On the girls side, junior All-Ameri-
can Kroeger defended her individual
title on the relatively flat course in
20:07, one second off her winning time
from last year. She pulled away from
freshman Aisling Cuffe, who was mak-
ing her collegiate debut for the Cardi-
nal, in the final 800 meters. But the real
story might have been the sheer depth
on display for Stanford three fresh-
men finished inside the top 16, and
coach PattiSue Plumer has six of her top
seven runners back from last years
team.
Both squads are looking to improve
on their performances from the 2010
NCAA Championships in Terre Haute,
Ind., when the top-ranked mens team
slipped to fourth and the No. 7 womens
SPORTS
Key to
title is
balance
S
tanford football had a bye
this week, so Stat on the
Backis going to take a look
at the season so far.
Number of the season-to-date: 27
What it means: Stanford has al-
lowed 27 points this season. No, not 27
points per game 27 total.That is the
fewest points allowed by any team in
the nation. Because the Cardinal has
played only three games while most
other teams have played four, Stan-
ford is tied for fourth in scoring de-
fense at nine points per game. But
there isnt a team in the country that
would quibble with holding oppo-
nents to single digits on average.
Why it matters: Every team wants
to have a good defense, and every
team wants to stop its opponents from
scoring. Duh. But on a team with a
quarterback like Andrew Luck and
weapons all over the place on offense,
having a solid defense almost feels
like icing on the cake.
For Stanford to achieve its goals
this year (Pac-12 and national titles),
though, the Cardinal cannot just be
one-dimensional. The difference be-
tween the 2009 and 2010 seasons was
the improvement of Stanfords de-
fense, and the Cardinal cannot hope
to contend for any sort of title without
a stingy defense.
Of course, its too early to know
how good the defense really is,and ob-
viously losing Shayne Skov for the
year will hurt the team. But it is worth
noting that Stanfords three oppo-
nents thus far (San Jose State, Duke
and Arizona) have all tallied season
lows in points and yards against the
Stanford defense. If this is a sign of
things to come, it will make the of-
fenses job a lot easier, particularly in
upcoming meetings with USC, Ore-
gon and Notre Dame.
Other notable numbers:
9: Speaking of that offense, Stan-
ford is ninth in the country in scoring.
That makes the Cardinal one of only
two teams, along with Wisconsin, to
rank in the top 10 in scoring offense
and scoring defense. An interesting
note:the team that scores more points
than its opponent has won every game
this season. So this bodes well for
Stanford.
28: With that great offense, youd
probably expect Luck to be the main
reason for the Cardinals success. But
even with the best player in the nation
taking every meaningful offensive
snap,Stanford is only 28th in the coun-
try in passing offense. Among the
better passing teams: Troy, Middle
Tennessee State, Bowling Green and
Duke.Yep, Duke.
Whats wrong with the passing
game? Apart from a couple rare mis-
cues from Luck, nothing. Stanford
isnt trying to be among the countrys
leaders in passing. Head coach David
Shaw wants to see balance, and its
tough to be much more balanced than
Stanford has been. The Cardinal has
run the ball 109 times, passed 92 times
and gotten at least 140 rushing yards
and 230 passing yards in every game.
Thats tough to stop.
0: As stated before, Stanfords de-
fense has played well. But through
three games, the Cardinal has come
up with exactly zero interceptions.
Thats right, Luck has thrown more
picks than Stanfords opponents.Only
five other teams have yet to pick off an
opponent: Akron, Kansas, Oregon
State, Rice and Utah State. Combined
record of those five against FBS
teams: 2-10.
There are two ways to look at this.
On the one hand, the defense has
been unable to come up with a
turnover in the secondary despite
playing two of its weakest opponents,
and eventually this lack of big-play
ability will come back to haunt the
Cardinal against better teams. On the
other hand, Stanford has been able to
play dominant defense without need-
ing a game-changing interception to
stop teams, so eventually the bounces
will go the Cardinals way.
In general, interceptions are not
really Stanfords game. The team re-
lies more on its pass rush and forcing
opponents to throw underneath to
avoid big plays.Still,the 2010 Stanford
defense picked off 18 passes, which
was tied for 19th in the country and
second in the conference. At some
point this year, the Cardinal will likely

Halfway through its season, the
Stanford womens soccer team is
looking primed for a championship
run, as they dominated a hapless
Arizona team at home in a 7-0 vic-
tory Saturday night to improve to 9-
0-1 in the Pac-12 opener for both
teams.
Six Cardinal players chipped in
for seven goals, five of which came
in the second half. Sophomore goal-
keeper Emily Oliver played 57 min-
utes, did not face a single shot and

09/24, Laird Q. Cagan Stadium
The Stanford women came out
of the gate strong, attacking the
Wildcats and earning quality scor-
ing chances. At 10:58, freshman for-
ward Chioma Ubogagu hit the post
with a shot, and sophomore forward
Sydney Payne volleyed in the re-
bound to put Stanford on the board.
But the Card struggled for most
of the rest of the half to capitalize on
myriad opportunities. Ubogagu,
Payne and senior midfielder Teresa
Noyola all had excellent chances
after the first tally but could not
convert.
Head coach Paul Ratcliffe then
made several substitutions and
tweaked his lineup to jumpstart the
offense just before halftime. The
new substitutes sparked the Cardi-
nal attack almost immediately. Ju-
nior forward Marjani Hing-Glover
sent Noyola ahead with a through
pass, and Noyola passed to sopho-
more midfielder Taylor McCann
who fired past the Arizona goalie
from 12 yards to put Stanford up 2-0
with under a minute left in the half.
We were having trouble break-
ing through, and we looked a little
bit flat, so I thought we needed a bit
of change, and Taylor McCann went
in and she added that change to the
game and scored a great goal, Rat-
cliffe said. With the changes, I
thought the energy level went up,
and [we had] more creativity.
Stanford came out at the start of
the second half and put the game
away, scoring three times in a span
of six minutes.
Senior midfielder Kristy Zur-
muhlen scored on a header from a
Taylor corner kick. Ratcliffe said
the team had been practicing sever-
al set plays for corner kicks. Stan-
ford nearly scored in the first half
on a pass to the short side from a
corner kick; on Zurmuhlens goal,
the Cardinal set up for this play
again and drew two defenders out
of the box before punching it in.
Minutes later, redshirt freshman
defenseman Kendall Romine
scored her first career goal on a left-
footed rocket from 30 yards out.
I just saw the open space, and so
I took it, and when I hit the shot, I
was a little surprised that it went in
but really excited at the same time,
Romine said. It was just a great
feeling.
The Cardinal displayed excel-
lent ball movement on its fifth goal,
as junior defenseman Alina Garcia-
mendez passed down the sideline to
fellow junior defenseman Rachel
Quon. She crossed to Taylor, who
settled the ball and scored her sev-
enth goal of the season.
One thing that we are good at
as a team is knowing that were
going to get the goals eventually,
Taylor said. The way we play is
possession-oriented, and were able
to break teams down and get more
goals in the second half.
In the ensuing minutes, Ratcliffe
made nine substitutions no Car-
dinal player was in the game for its
entire length. However, any notion
that the wholesale substitutions
would stop the flood of Stanford
goals was quickly put to rest.
Hing-Glover challenged the
Wildcat goaltender on a tipped ball,
maneuvered around her and drilled
the ball into the open net.
Less than two minutes later,
sophomore forward Shelby Payne
passed to Hing-Glover, who fired a
high volley that bounced off the
post and in. Hing-Glover had sever-
al chances for a hat-trick, but could
not convert.
Players came in off the bench
and were hungry to prove them-
selves, and they did, Ratcliffe said.
A crowd of 1,756 packed Laird
Q. Cagan Stadium to watch Stan-
fords 41st consecutive home win.
The Cardinal travel northwest this
weekend to play Washington State
at 3 p.m. Friday and Washington at
12 p.m. Sunday.

team fell to 13th.
This year, two-time defending
champions Oklahoma State returns
most of its top runners and will like-
ly be the frontrunner throughout the
season, giving Stanford a chance to
fly a little more under the radar. But
expectations from the team are as
high as ever.
Our goal is definitely to win a
national championship, Riley said.
Other teams are going to be good,
and we need to focus on being as
strong as we can be as a team. But I
think we would be disappointed to
go home without a title.
The women will not travel to next
weeks Notre Dame Invitational,
but both teams will be back in action
on Oct. 14 at the Wisconsin Invita-
tional, which might be the countrys
most competitive regular-season
meet of the year.

need a momentum changer, and it
will be interesting to see if someone
will step up and get it.
1: There are 22 undefeated teams
remaining,but only one in the Pac-12.
Yep, were still in September, but
Stanford is the only Pac-12 team that
has not lost.At first glance, this might
look promising for Stanfords future,
but keep in mind that most of these
losses have come in nonconference
games. These losses hurt Stanfords
strength of schedule, which wasnt
necessarily high anyway. Stanfords
future is in its own hands, but you just
never know when a situation like
2004, when Auburn went undefeated
but was left out of the BCS National
Championship Game, will make
strength of schedule a big deal.
24: You probably know by now
that Stanford has won 11 straight
games. But the Cardinal hasnt just
won; it has dominated. In eight of the
past nine games, Stanford has won by
at least 24 points. In all eight of those
blowout wins, Stanford beat the
Vegas spread.
This streak could continue for the
next several weeks, as three of the
Cardinals next four opponents
(UCLA, Colorado and Washington
State) were picked to be the three
worst teams in the conference in the
preseason media poll. The fourth,
Washington, lost 41-0 to Stanford at
home last year.
In other words,dont be surprised if
a month from today, Stanfords closest
game is still the 37-10 win over Arizona.
Always the pessimist, Jacob Jaffe
wont be surprised if a week from
today no one has emailed him about
his observations. Surprise him at jw-

for a win against a veteran USC
squad (9-3, 4-1) that ended Stan-
fords season in last years NCAA
tournament. Yet again, the bid fell
just short, as Stanford dropped
three straight sets, each by only two
points, 25-23, 26-24 and 25-23. The
loss marked the first time that the
Card had been swept since an away
loss to Washington in 2009.
Again,Williams proved to be the
Cards primary offensive threat as
well as an asset on defense, putting
down 11 kills and digging 13 balls
for her seventh double-double of
the season. Wopat had 10 kills and
seven blocks, while redshirt fresh-
man outside hitter Lydia Bai added
seven kills. Cook had 37 assists in
the loss, while Gilbert, in her first
start as libero, had 18 digs.
For the Trojans, senior outside
hitter Alex Jupiter had 15 kills and
11 digs, and junior outside hitter
Katie Fuller had 14 kills and nine
digs. Senior setter Kendall Bate-
man put up 41 assists in addition to
nine digs, and sophomore libero
Natalie Hagglund led the match
with 23 digs as USC came up with
big plays all match long.
Stanford will look to rebound as
it plays host to Arizona State on Fri-
day, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. in Maples
Pavilion.
