After Stanfords close win over Oregon State at Cagan Sta-
dium last Sunday, the mens soccer team is riding on a precari-
ous, but nonetheless important wave of momentum up north
for tonights match against Washington. In an interesting turn
of Pac-12 scheduling, Stanford (4-7-2, 1-3-1 Pac-12) will take on
the Huskies and Beavers for the second time in two weeks, this
time on rival turf.
The Cardinals performance on the road hasnt been very
promising so far this season Stanford is 0-5 in road matches
and has yet to score a goal. However, if the team can capitalize
on its offensive opportunities against Washington (8-3-2, 3-2-0
Pac-12), it may be able to secure at least one of the two positive
results it needs to qualify for the postseason.
In its last encounter with the Huskies, the Cardinal conced-
ed two goals, one of them to Washington midfielder Jacob
Hustedt. Coach Bret Simon noted that the transfer from Cal
Poly was a tough matchup for Stanford.
Washington has some exceptional players, Simon said.
We just have to do a little better job of finding their No. 8
(Hustedt) and defending him.
Several months into the season, the physical demands of
the season have also started to become a key factor, with sev-
eral players noting that everyone is feeling the effects of a
long season.
Wear and tear on the body has had a price to pay for the
players on the team, Simon said.
And redshirt senior Garrett
Gunther, who authored two
goals including the game-
winner on Sunday and
added an assist in the Cardi-
nals 3-2 victory, agrees that it
can be taxing on the body to
play so many minutes and take
so many hits. But he acknowl-
edged that bumps and bruises
are par for the course in the
brutal Pac-12, and no team
comes out unscathed.
At the very least, Stanford
comes to the table with a slight-
ly more promising past against
Oregon State (3-8-2, 1-3-1). On
Sunday, the Cardinal proved
that if it can exploit its offen-
sive chances, it can hold a lead.
While Stanford conceded two
consecutive goals in a matter of

O
ne year ago today,
gun to your head,
youre forced to
make a decision:
Andrew Luck or
Jim Harbaugh? The one you pick
stays, while the other ventures into
the depths of the NFL, destined to
appear only on Sundays and in
Ugg commercials.
I would have chosen Jim. You
would have, too.
Im smart enough to know that
you dont go to the Vatican and
criticize the pope, nor do you
admit to the Stanford community
that you would choose any tangi-
ble thing in the universe over An-
drew Luck. So let me explain.
One year ago, I was drunk off
the Harbaugh Kool-Aid. I was
fully on board with the hard-nosed
approach, the yelling, the rescuing
the team from a 1-11 season, the
domination of USC, the sweater,
etc. So were you. Keeping Jim
away from the NFL was (at the
time) undoubtedly the only way to
sustain Stanfords success. You
could hear a pin drop in Stanford
Stadium during 2009, the Cardi-
nals first winning season in years.
If Harbaugh left and the team sub-
sequently imploded, pins would be
able to hear pins drop.

After rolling through its first six
games of 2011, Stanford football returns
to the Farm this weekend for its biggest
test so far. The Cardinal will face Wash-
ington, the first top-25 opponent on the
squads backloaded schedule.
The No. 7 Cardinal (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12)
hasnt been challenged on the score-
board much this season it has blown
out every opponent by more than 25
points but the No. 22 Huskies (5-1, 3-
0) present a balanced offensive attack
that has them tied for the lead atop the
Pac-12 North. Most of Washingtons sur-
prising success can be attributed the
quick maturation of quarterback Keith
Price, who has already tossed 21 touch-
downs to just four interceptions this sea-
son.
Prices scorching start has him being
consistently touted as one of the nations
most underrated or overlooked talents,
and Stanford head coach David Shaw
said he was impressed by the redshirt
sophomore.
[Price is] good, hes athletic, hes ac-
curate, hes not just an athlete playing
quarterback hes a good quarter-
back, Shaw said. He doesnt always
just run and take off and flee the pocket,

The new online football ticket
reservation system has resulted in
rushes to secure tickets and long
standby lines at the stadium come
game day, according to Athletics
Marketing Associate Kevin Aha.
This change came as a result of
increasing interest in Stanford foot-
ball, as student attendance is esti-
mated to be at the highest it has
reached in recent history, Aha said.
The high attendance is due, in
part, to the new Red Zone ticket
system in which students must re-
serve tickets prior to game day, ac-
cording to Aha, who managed most
of the new program.
Average attendance will be
higher than any year in recent histo-
ry, Aha said. The demand is a
function of campus recognition of
how special this team is, and the
ticketing system is more a function
of that demand.
Aha reported that for the Oct. 1
UCLA game, 47 percent of under-
graduate students and 17 percent of
graduate students scanned into the
stadium. For the Oct. 8 Colorado
game, 50.1 percent of undergradu-
ate students and 12.84 percent of
graduate students scanned in.
At the beginning of the school
year, the Red Zone sent out an
email with an instructional video
announcing the new procedure,
showing step by step how to claim a
ticket. The video and Red Zone
website instructed students to log in
to their Red Zone accounts on
GoStanford.com and reserve a tick-
et, which would be loaded onto
their student ID cards. Students re-
ceive a predetermined number of
Red Zone Loyalty Points for scan-
ning into each home game and se-
lect other sporting events.
However, the Red Zone website
has crashed several times when
tickets have been released, frustrat-
ing students trying to use the serv-
ice. Tyler White 13 attended both
games so far, but only had a re-
served ticket for the Colorado
game.
If you look at the people having
to stake out at 9 p.m. or 5 p.m. and sit
by their computers and refresh in-
cessantly, just hoping to get their
hands on one ticket, then every sin-
gle time there always ends up being
people who want to go who cant
go,White said.
According to the site, tickets to
the games against Oregon and
Berkeley will be released based on
the number of Red Zone Loyalty
Points students have.
The more points you have, the
earlier in the week you can get the
tickets, Aha said. Were not sure
where that [number] will fall yet.
The ticket claiming process orig-
inally began on the Tuesday prior to
a Saturday home game at 5 p.m.
In the first implementation for
the Oct. 1 game against UCLA,
tickets for the event sold out within
five hours after they were released,
Aha said.
Aha received feedback from stu-
dents that the 5 p.m. ticket release
conflicted with athletics and aca-
demics, effectively freezing them
out from claiming tickets later in
the evening. He changed the release
time to 9 p.m. for all subsequent
games.
Tickets for the Oct. 8 Colorado
game lasted until about noon the
next day,Aha said. And Red Zone
tickets for Saturdays game against

RESEARCH
Study says new doctors
not taught LGBT issues
WORLD & NATION
Universities allowed to
defund exclusive groups
By ROBIN CHIN
American medical schools are
lacking LGBT-related health cur-
riculum, according to a new study
published by the Stanford School of
Medicine. A survey of 132 schools
discovered that medical students
spend a median total of five hours
studying LGBT-related issues.
The study was published in early
September by members of the Les-
bian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgen-
der Medical Education Research
Group (LGBT MERG). Deans
from medical schools in the United
States and Canada were surveyed
on topics such as length of class-
room time devoted to LGBT-relat-
ed issues and adequacy of material.
Dr. Juno Obedin-Maliver, an
OB-GYN resident at UCSF and
the primary author of the study,
said that most of the five hours
were taught during the preclinical
or classroom years. One-third of
the schools surveyed had zero ex-
posure to LGBT issues in the clini-
cal years.
These issues are primarily
about patient-relation skills, Obe-
din-Maliver said. Taking care of
patients is not just about knowl-
edge its also about learning
how to interact with patients from
many different backgrounds, in-
cluding sexual orientation.
Obedin-Maliver helped found
MERG in 2007 while completing
her medical degree at Stanford.
The group aims to improve LGBT
health using a threefold approach
of conducting research, influencing
health policy and advocating for
LGBT patients and providers. This
includes conducting research, influ-
encing health policy and advocat-
ing for LGBT patients and
providers.
MERG initially came from
questions of how can we better
take care of ourselves and our
loved ones and [sic] our communi-
ty, Obedin-Maliver said. The re-
searchers soon discovered that

Universities retention of the
right to deny funding to groups that
discriminate based on religious
freedom, according to a federal ap-
peals court ruling made in August,
will have a positive impact on Stan-
ford, according to Reverend Scotty
McLennan, dean of religious life.
The case centered on whether
San Diego State was able to deny
funding for two religious groups on
campus that sought to bar non-reli-
gious members from their ranks.
The federal appeals court up-
held the universitys decision,
agreeing that the practice of ban-
ning membership based on race, re-
ligion, sex or sexual orientation con-
stituted an act of discrimination and
that San Diego State could deny
funding to such groups.
The case involved a Christian
fraternity and sorority that sought
to limit membership based on reli-
gious beliefs. Lawyers defending
the two campus organizations
claimed that such religious groups
should be regarded as the same as
secular organizations that rally
around a common belief, such as a
pro-choice advocacy organization,
which would presumably not allow
members who held the opposite
opinion to join.
Stanford University has a similar
policy as San Diego State, refusing
to fund student groups that have
discriminatory admission policies.

Washington sold out by 10 a.m.
Wednesday morning, after being
available for 13 hours, Aha wrote in
an email to The Daily.
Annika Grangaard 12 currently
participates in Gaieties, a group for
which rehearsals run from 8 p.m. to
11 p.m. on Tuesdays.
At 9 p.m., rehearsal literally
stops so people can get their tick-
ets, she said.
Students who do not claim a
ticket beforehand have the option
to wait in a standby line at Gate 3 of
Stanford Stadium prior to kickoff.
After kickoff, students are let in de-
pending on the number of un-
claimed reserved student seats.
For the UCLA game, Aha said,
everyone who came to the game,
regardless of whether or not you
got a ticket in advance or you were
in the standby line, everyone got in
[sic]. This was true for the Col-
orado game as well, Aha said.
White said his opinion of the
new policy changed with knowl-
edge of this information, but said he
[thinks] that there should be a bet-
ter way for a Stanford student to be
able to go to a Stanford football
game.
The fact of the matter is that if
you go and wait in the standby line,
you dont get admitted until 10, 15
minutes in and you end up automat-
ically getting the worst seats in the
stadium, he said. I dont think I
would ever desire to plan my day
around standing in standby line
when all my friends are able to get
in with tickets.
The size of Stanford Stadium is
the main limitation for letting in
students, Aha said.
Capacity and safety issues are
limiting factors in terms of the sec-
tions we make available,Aha said.
We want to get as many students
as we can in the game while also pri-
oritizing safety and our capacity re-
strictions.
To accommodate the increased
interest and attendance among stu-
dents, the Red Zone sections in
Stanford Stadium have been ex-
panded, Aha said. The Red Zone
now stretches from section 111
through 102.
Grangaard has noticed that the
Red Zone is a lot fuller, and has a
lot more spirit. More people stay
for the whole game instead of leav-
ing after a little while, she said.
Student attendance has gotten
a lot better since when I got here,
said defensive tackle Terence
Stephens 13. Its good to see
its kind of a culture change to see
people wanting to attend football
games and wanting to support their
team.
Stephens commented that the
team does notice student fans from
the sidelines and from the field.
Its definitely inspirational to
see support from the student body,
Stephens said.

on how LGBT-sensitive material
was being taught in medical
schools.
The survey that MERG con-
ducted asked deans to grade their
schools performances on coverage
of LGBT-related healthcare issues.
Seventy percent of those who re-
sponded reported a fair, poor or
very poor curriculum.
The study also identified 16 key
topics related to LGBT health, such
as transitioning and intimate part-
ner violence. When the deans were
asked to assess the broadness of
their coverage of these topics, only
11 of the 132 schools claimed to
cover all 16 issues.
LGBT health has expanded
way beyond sexually transmitted
disease and HIV, Obedin-Maliver
said. She cited many areas in which
LGBT individuals differ from their
peers, including substance use, body
image and medical care for LGBT
adolescents.
Gastroenterology and hepatol-
ogy professor Gabriel Garcia, who
also serves as dean of admission at
the School of Medicine, cited sever-
al reasons for the inadequate atten-
tion given to this subgroup of pa-
tients, including lack of material, ex-
pertise and requirements related to
LGBT health concerns.
The most likely reason is the
lack of educators who have specific
expertise in this area. Its easier to
find teachers in organic chemistry,
he said.
Obedin-Maliver had another
reason why she believed these top-
ics lacked coverage.
Research and awareness isnt
there, she said. We dont have
providers who can do research that
can really help us understand to
what extent the disparities are there
and how to address them.
Garcia says Stanford medical
students take a class during their
preclinical years that specifically
addresses many of the 16 key topics
identified by MERG.
What they miss is a required ro-
tation through an LGBT-specific
provider or clinic, an experience
that Obedin-Maliver said she be-
lieved is key to learning provider
sensitivity.
Steps are being taken to fill in
the gaps in education, both Garcia
and Obedin-Maliver said. Garcia is
a member of a task force within the
Association of American Medical
Colleges (AAMC), an organization
charged with making concrete rec-
ommendations to improve educa-
tion on LGBT healthcare. The
group hopes to provide new cur-
riculum material and policy frame-
work for institutions seeking
change.
Garcia says the increasing atten-
tion on such LGBT-related issues,
such as gay marriage and Dont Ask
Dont Tell, will encourage advocacy
in the medical field.
As we have this nationwide dis-
cussion, we will also have a medical
school education discussion, Gar-
cia added.
Obedin-Maliver said she hopes
the study will provide necessary
data to prompt change among insti-
tutions in the United States. She
added that perhaps in the future,
educators may be held to national
standards of LGBT-related curricu-
lum coverage.

THE MIXED MESSAGES OF MODERNISM
OPINIONS
D
umpster diving has never
been my cup of tea.
But when it comes to science, it
turns out that you can convince me to
tackle all sorts of less-than-glam-
orous tasks, including creeping
around the back alleys of elegant
small towns with a net and some plas-
tic tubing.
Luke a roommate and hero of
past, current and future adventures
and I were hunting Drosophilia,
tiny flies that love humans and rot-
ting compost so much that you can
usually find them hovering around
every rubbish pile in California.
Which is why our friend Heather
a researcher of genetic differences
in Drosophilia populations up and
down the Pacific Coast equipped
Luke and me with nets when we told
her wed be in Humboldt County last
weekend. (Heather samples the
Hawaiian flies herself.)
Of those us whove met
Drosophilia in a scientific context,
most probably remember it from
general biology class, where its used
as a simple genetic model to demon-
strate dominant and recessive traits.
Researchers still use flies to untangle
tricky genetic pathways and unlock
the mysteries of development.
But Heathers questions are both
more basic and more complex. She
wants to know how evolution works.
And Drosophilia, with their large,
widespread populations and fast
generation times, are the ideal study
subject.
In theory, flies the world over are
responding to a world of different se-
lection pressures things like pesti-
cides, or harsh winters, or tough com-
petition for fruit that drive adap-
tation to fit local conditions and, writ
large, evolutionary diversification of
populations.
Take pesticide resistance, for ex-
ample. Because fly populations are
big, when you start spraying a new
chemical, at least one fly probably
has a mutation that allows it to sur-
vive. Since fly generations are so
short (a couple weeks from egg to
egg), we can witness evolution in ac-
tion, as pesticide-resistant genotypes
climb to dominance within a few
years. Today, we find flies all over the
world carrying the same pesticide-re-
sistance mutations on different ge-
netic backgrounds (that is, on differ-
ent sets of ancestral genes), indicat-
ing that resistance evolved multiple
times in different locations. Eventu-
ally, the accumulation of new muta-
tions both at random, and under
selection may lead to speciation,
in which populations become so dif-
ferent that they either cant or wont
interbreed, and scientists identify
them as different species.
Of course, not all signals are as
strong as the pesticide resistance one.
And even in Drosophilia, they can
get quite complicated, in part be-
cause we humans interfere every
time we ship a truckload of fruit
(with, doubtless, a few hundred
winged stowaways) hundreds of
miles down the road.
In this case, humans are eroding
the Drosophilia population structure
and connecting subpopulations with
bursts of new immigrants. This mixes
up mutations and adaptations that
otherwise would have arisen and
evolved in isolation for hundreds of
fly generations.
Flies arent the only creatures we
ship around the planet. Our global
crop monocultures have replaced
local, diverse crop varieties, leaving
us with little genetic insurance for
SEEING GREEN
Lumps and fragments: humanity and the
wildlife relocation problem
O
ccupy Wall Street (OWS)
has built its ideology on a
historical fallacy. If we be-
lieve its folksy altruism, that small
businesses that limited their ambi-
tion to small markets and derided
the desire to move forward gave
America its wealth, we deceive
ourselves. Occupy Wall Street has
to come to terms with the fact that
the utopia that they believe predat-
ed the repeal of the Glass-Steagall
Act, and whose weakening re-
quired that act initially was not re-
sponsible for creating the middle
class it so dearly wants. America, in
large part, owes its success to its
biggest businesses.
Corporate greed, fat cats and
other caricatures of cigar-smoking,
tuxedo-clad bankers are hardly the
root cause of the financial crisis.
They have always been paid hand-
somely, and the fact that most of
our financial institutions remained
solvent and have paid back the
loans they received further speaks
to the high ability that merits their
pay. They work 80-plus-hour
weeks. They give themselves over
to their work. It is sensible that
their commitment and competen-
cy, especially considering the risks
involved, be reflected in their pay.
We can say they are greedy, but we
need people with this kind of dedi-
cation to do high-level work. If
they werent paid so highly, fewer
and less-qualified people would
consent to the sacrifice of their 20s,
their weekends and their sleep for
finance.
The financial institutions that
OWS hates made the highest level
of home ownership ever in the
United States possible. But if we
are going to go about assigning
blame, we have to understand that
at the most basic level irre-
sponsible individuals are the prob-
lem. People took mortgages they
could not afford on the chance that
their circumstances would improve
or their houses would increase in
value. They made ambitious gam-
bles that failed, and thats why fore-
closures are at record rates. Homes
are not being foreclosed so fat cats
have a place to store their Faberg
egg collections. Even banks do not
want homes in this depressed hous-
ing market. Homes are being fore-
closed because people took out
loans that they could not pay back.
You can blame financial institu-
tions for providing them, but for
the last 10 years the federal govern-
ment has done whatever it can to
try to get banks to lend to less ap-
pealing borrowers. The intent was
good. The effect was catastrophic,
and the banks have not been better
off for it.
If we want to look for institu-
tional problems that allowed un-
derqualified borrowers into the
system, we can easily see that the
government, not private institu-
tions, spurred such behavior. Look-
ing into research by Edward Pinto,
the former chief credit officer of
Fannie Mae, we gain some perspec-
tive. As cited in a recent Wall Street
Journal column by Peter Wallison,
Pinto concludes that of the nearly
50 percent of mortgages that were
deemed subprime (the borrower
had poor or no credit history), Fan-
nie, Freddie and other government
agencies held 70 percent. The fact
that the federal government man-
dated 55 percent (in 2007) of the
mortgages they issued by these
agencies be given to people with
less than ideal credit, a gradual 25
percent increase over the 30 per-
cent required in 1992, explains the
huge numbers of loans to under
qualified borrowers. The govern-
ment even extended this mandate
to private industry, when the Com-
munity Reinvestment Act of 1995
required banks and savings and
loan associations to make a certain
proportion of their loans to bor-
rowers of lesser income. The fact
remains that, though derivatives
allowed aggressive speculation on
these loans, the sheer amount of
bad debt alone was enough to
bring the system down. Derivatives
and speculation on them merely
spread the hurt.
As for the consistent complaint
that the government bailed out the
corporations but left the little guy
in the lurch, I suggest a quick re-
consideration. Who would have
lost their deposits, their savings
and their access to credit for recov-
ery if the big banks had failed? The
little guy. Main Street.Saving the

Overseeing the
Overseas Seminars
A
fter a two-year hiatus, the
Stanford Bing Overseas
Studies Program (BOSP)
will resume Stanford Overseas Sem-
inars, beginning this coming sum-
mer. The two-week seminars, which
take place either at the very begin-
ning or end of the summer, offer
their participants a chance to travel
the world as part of academically ori-
ented, faculty-led trips. And while
students are truly privileged to have
this opportunity, we hope the loca-
tions chosen will exemplify the Uni-
versitys passion for diversity by of-
fering students a wide array of desti-
nations varied in geographic loca-
tion and socioeconomic condition.
The quarter-length study abroad
programs are a much more promi-
nent aspect of Stanford life, and the
University has successfully
arranged many such programs in
the past,in some cases even planting
its own campuses in foreign cities.
Under the auspices of BOSP, stu-
dents may spend a quarter, or even
longer,in such locations as Santiago,
Chile; Beijing, China; Cape Town,
South Africa; as well as the usual
European suspects Paris, Flo-
rence, Berlin and Oxford.
The Overseas Seminars debuted
in 2002 and lasted eight years until
their recent suspension, offering a
total of 65 trips in that time. Of
course, the principal advantage of
an Overseas Seminar is that it does
not consume a full quarter of stu-
dents academic schedules.Athletes,
for example, who are kept occupied
with practice during the academic
year, will more likely be available
during the summer to participate in
an Overseas Seminar. Or engineers,
who would find it difficult to accom-
modate the course options available
in Florence, Italy, for example,
would find Overseas Seminars
ideal. Similarly, students who
choose to be on staff in a dormitory
a full year commitment
would likely be drawn to Overseas
Seminars as well.
One might think that there need
not be any specific guideline for the
locations of these Overseas Semi-
nars. Those students who cannot
spend a quarter in Oxford during
the year might benefit enormously
from an Overseas Seminar to Ox-
ford, and so on for the long list of
other Stanford study abroad loca-
tions.
But the fact remains that there
are innumerable destinations over-
seas to which one might voyage,and
no clear way to rank them. It is also
quite likely that students with the
opportunity to study abroad for a
quarter will also be interested in an
Overseas Seminar. The ideal selec-
tion of Overseas Seminar destina-
tions should be characterized above
all by heterogeneity, a mix of di-
verse possibilities, and most ideally
not overlap significantly with the
quarter-length abroad options.
An examination of past destina-
tions reveals a dazzling array of
cities, in six of seven continents (un-
fortunately, no faculty member has
yet donned the mantle of leading
the first Antarctica seminar). There
are certainly areas of the world
more underrepresented than oth-
ers: China has been a reliable desti-
nation each and every year, while
sub-Saharan Africa, with the excep-
tion of Cape Town, has only twice
been a destination. Aside from one
trip to Brazil in 2005-06, South
America is noticeably absent. The
countries of Central and Eastern
Europe also do not feature in the
lists of destinations, although four
trips have visited Russia.Given that
Stanford already hosts quarter-
length study abroad programs in
Moscow, Beijing and Cape Town, it
is certainly unsurprising and mildly
disappointing to see that these loca-
tions continually attracted Over-
seas Seminars for eight years.
It is clearly true that destinations
can be selected for a number of
strategic reasons, the most obvious
being the relative safety and political
stability of the country in question.
At the same time, faculty will likely
select cities whose opportunities co-
incide with his or her field of study as
well as locations whose institutions
can prove hospitable to a traveling
group of American college students.
While it is impossible to gauge pop-
ular student opinion on possible des-
tinations, a diverse swathe of desti-
nations will prove all the more en-
riching to those students interested
in an Overseas Seminar. The selec-
tion for the summer of 2012 will
hopefully expand upon the diverse
destinations of the past.

changing environmental conditions
ahead. Salmon hatcheries in the Pa-
cific Northwest have inadvertently
mixed up a coastline of diverse sub-
populations, introducing maladap-
tive traits to locally adapted popula-
tions.
Were not just in the business of
genetic reshuffling. Often our activ-
ities the construction of roads
and cities, the replacement of forests
with farms fragment once-con-
tinuous plant and animal popula-
tions. Newly minted subpopulations
may be too small to stand alone and
dwindle into local extinction. If they
do survive, they may be forced
through genetic bottlenecks, in
which traits present in the few
founding individuals are locked into
the future population, for better or
for worse. And small population
fragments may adapt and evolve to
microscale environmental differ-
ences in ways that the original, larg-
er population could not.
Thats more in the vein of Lukes
work. He studies populations of
frogs and salamanders broken up by
agricultural fields and cities. Some
species thrive in their human-modi-
fied environments: anyone whos lis-
tened to a midsummer frog chorus in
Manhattans Central Park can attest
to that. Others arent so lucky
theres a reason we use amphibians
(and their loss) as indicators of
ecosystem health.
What will these new population
structures mean for evolution and
the rate at which organisms evolve
into new species? In the case of
Drosophilia, salmon and corn, will
one dominant genotype rule the
world? Will its suite of human-loved
traits spell lasting success or ecologi-
cal doom? And when we splinter
populations, will we increase genetic
diversity or facilitate its loss? Will we
drive creation of new species or
erode away resilience from existing
ones?
The answers will differ for every
organism. In part, theyll depend on
how rapidly evolution can happen.
One day, we may wonder if we can
adapt fast enough to keep up with
our own modifications of the world.
For now, were left to ponder what
right we have to change the course of
billions of years of evolution or
whether, as products of evolution
ourselves, we ought to ponder such
ethical conundrums at all.
Luke and I return from our
dumpster dive with a grand total of
two flies. The weathers misty, and
theres a chill in the air. I can tell
Luke thinks wed have more luck
finding salamanders in these condi-
tions, but only outside city limits.

Longevity also
inherited non-
genetically,study finds
By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF
In addition to their genes, your
parents eating habits and lifestyle
choices may also have a non-genetic
effect on your lifespan, according to
new research from the School of
Medicine.
By blocking or modifying any of
three proteins in the roundworm C.
elegans, researchers were able to in-
crease the lifespan of the round-
worm and its descendants, even
though its descendants did not carry
the genetic modification. According
to the press release, this is the first
time longevity has been shown to be
transferred non-genetically.
Organisms modify the way their
genes are expressed without actual-
ly changing their underlying DNA
sequences in a process called epige-
netics.This study, however, is the first
to show that these changes are not
always reset between generations.
Associate professor of genetics
Anne Brunet and graduate student
Eric Greer conducted the study.
Greer mutated the genes responsi-
ble for encoding three proteins
(ASH-2, WDR-5 and SET-2), then
bred the worms to ensure their off-
spring would not carry the same mu-
tation.
Greer found that the descen-
dants of these modified worms had
longer lifespans than descendants
from un-modified worms, indicating
the mutation affected the offspring
even though it was not genetically
inherited. The increased lifespan
lasted for up to three generations,
but eventually reverted back to the
normal amount of time.
We still dont know the exact
mechanism of this epigenetic mem-
ory of longevity between genera-
tions,said Brunet in a statement on
the School of Medicine website.
We hypothesize that when the
parental generation is missing key
components that normally regulate
chromatin, epigenetic marks are not
completely reset from one genera-
tion to the next in the germ line,
thereby inducing heritable changes
in gene expression. It will be very in-
teresting to understand how this
happens,she added.
The research was funded by the
National Institutes of Health, the
Glenn Foundation for Medical Re-
search and a Helen Hay Whitney
Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Urban heat islands
not major contributor
to warming, study
shows
By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF
Cities acting as urban heat is-
landsdo not significantly affect the
overall warming of the planet, ac-
cording to a study completed by en-
vironmental engineering professor
Mark Z. Jacobson and graduate stu-
dent John Ten Hoeve, who studies in
the same department.
Cities do produce more heat than
surrounding areas, however, accord-
ing to the study, this only contributes
two to four percent of the total
warming since the Industrial Revo-
lution, compared to 18 percent from
black carbon and 79 percent from
greenhouse gases.
This study directly contradicts
some climate skeptics, who have ar-
gued that this urban heating effect
contributes more than greenhouse
gases.
This study shows that the urban
heat island effect is a relatively
minor contributor to warming, con-

big banks is fundamentally helpful
for small business and normal peo-
ple. Had they toppled, America
would be in straits direr than we
can imagine. The idea that the fed-
eral government has shirked its
moral obligation to its people by
saving the banks instead is ludi-
crous.
What is most troubling to me
about OWS is that it reflects
Americans tendency to accept
theories with little evidence but
great import without scrutiny. It
seems altogether paranoid to me
to think that 1 percent of Ameri-
cans have, through lobbyists and
other outrageously immoral
means, commandeered our coun-
try. We have an independent
media, with only one of the major
television news outlets at risk of
being called biased towards that 1
percent. We have extremely pow-
erful and wealthy unions to count-
er the influence of lobbyists and
there are dairy lobbyists, farming
lobbyists and lobbyists from indus-
tries other than the evil oil in-
dustry. They all have a right to be
heard, just as we citizens have a
right to counteract their influence
with our vote and our power to as-
semble en masse. Instead of doing
what amounts to little more than a
public demonstration of frustra-
tion, we could campaign for and
donate to congressmen and con-
gresswomen who pledge not to
deal with lobbyists. It is not ration-
al to find an unmistakably bad sit-
uation, chafe at the circumstances

it does not, fundamentally, address

ligion, race or sexual orientation,
nor would the University in the fu-
ture, said McLennan.
McLennan added that Stanford
has a very explicit all-comers pol-
icy. This policy stipulates un-
equivocally that all student organ-
izations must welcome and en-
courage participation from every-
one in the Stanford student com-
munity.
We think the opportunity to
participate in the planning and
leadership of activities is an impor-
tant part of many students Stan-
ford education, McLennan said.
We expect groups actively to
recruit and accept all students in-
terested in a groups activities.
McLennan did acknowledge
that groups often require certain
skills or ability levels of their mem-
bers. However, he said this does not
violate Stanfords policy.
A cappella groups can audition
to ensure that students can sing,
McLennan said. But we do not
consider adherence to a stated be-
lief, race or sexual orientation to be
an objective criterion.
Adherence to the Universitys
Nondiscrimination Policy is an im-
portant expectation for all groups
and is something that we strongly
support, McLennan said.
Mahta Baghoolizadeh 13, presi-
dent of the Muslim Students
Awareness Network (MSAN),
echoed McLennans opinion of the
importance of Stanfords open
community.
Anyone who wants to be a di-
rector or on the board can apply,
said Baghoolizadeh, referring to
the MSAN board of directors.
The year before I came we ac-
tually had a non-Muslim on the
board because they [sic] were real-
ly interested in the Muslim world.
Baghoolizadeh explained that
the Islamic Society of Stanford
University, which maintains the
more religious aspects of Muslim
campus life, also adheres to the
non-discrimination policy and re-
ceives funding from the University.
While an unofficial University
group is unable to schedule use of
facilities on campus or communi-
cate through official University
channels, it can still participate ac-
tively in Stanford life, according to
McLennan.
[These groups] could still ad-
vertise on bulletin boards open to
the general public, McLennan
said. It could utilize our free
speech area on campus, White
Plaza and hold gatherings outside
in areas that didnt impinge on
other activities . . . it could fund-
raise for itself from non-Stanford
sources.
In all those senses, it could
maintain a presence at Stanford
without official University affilia-
tion, McLennan added.
This policy is not unique to Stan-
ford. After Hastings School of Law
decided in 2010 to withhold funding
from the Christian Legal Society,
one of the actions that brought
about the ruling of the court of ap-
peals this summer, the organization
still maintained a strong presence
on campus.
The CLS continued to host a
variety of activities along the lines
described above and even doubled
the number of students attending
its meetings after losing its official
university recognition, McLennan
said.

trary to what climate skeptics have
claimed, Jacobson said in an inter-
view with the Stanford Report.
Greenhouse gases and particu-
late black carbon cause far more
warming,he added.
The study was the first that di-
rectly addressed urban heat islands
on a global scale, evaluating their ef-
fect on sea-surface temperatures,
sea ice, atmospheric stability,
aerosol concentrations and other
factors.
Another interesting result the
study found was the ineffectiveness
of white-roofs. Though painting
roofs white has been touted as a way
to reduce global warming, Jacobson
found that it in fact contributed to
global warming by reflecting sun-
light back into the atmosphere, re-
ducing cloudiness and increasing
the absorption of pollutants.
There does not seem to be a
benefit from investing in white
roofs,said Jacobson.The most im-
portant thing is to reduce emissions
of the pollutants that contribute to
global warming.
Cooling your house with white
roofs at the expense of warming the
planet is not a very desirable trade-
off,Jacobson said.A warmer plan-
et will melt the sea ice and glaciers
faster, triggering feedbacks that will
lead to even greater overall warm-
ing. There are more effective meth-
ods of reducing global warming.
One such method is installing
photovoltaic panels on roofs, which
absorb sunlight and convert it to en-
ergy rather than reflecting it.

The top-ranked womens soccer team will welcome the
Pac-12s newest members, Utah and Colorado, to the Farm
this weekend in games tonight and Sunday afternoon.
For the Utes (8-6-1, 4-2-0) and Buffs (3-9-2, 0-4-1), it like-
ly wont be a warm welcome from the Cardinal Stanford
has won its last 26 conference games and has been blowing
by its outmatched Pac-12 competition in recent weeks.
Stanford kicked off conference play by routing Arizona
7-0 at home before heading north to eke out a pair of 1-0
wins over Washington and No. 23 Washington State, which
is currently second in the Pac-12 standings.
The Cardinal then returned to the friendly confines of
Laird Q. Cagan Stadium where they have won 43
straight games to demolish USC 3-0 and beat then-No. 3
UCLA 4-1. And last week, Stanford traveled to Arizona
State and took down the Sun Devils, 3-1.
Now, the team will try to keep chugging along towards a
Pac-12 title, with five games remaining. Utah could be the
Cardinals most significant roadblock to the conference
championship the Utes, in fourth place, are two games be-
hind Stanford in Pac-12 standings. Utah is coming off a big 1-
0 overtime win over No. 18 Oregon State and will be travel-
ing to Palo Alto looking for an upset.The Utes are led by sen-
ior forward Erin Dalley, who has won two Pac-12 Player of
the Week awards and leads the team in points (12), goals (5),
game winners (3), shots (30) and shots-on-goal (15).
However, Stanford will counter with its own superstar
seniors, most notably forward Lindsay Taylor (24 points)
and midfielder Teresa Noyola (21 points). That duo, com-
bined with excellent play in the net by sophomore Emily
Oliver and a strong push by freshman forward Chioma
Ubogagu to break the freshman points record she is al-
ready at 20 bode well for a Cardinal victory.
Colorado, on the other hand, sits at the bottom of the
Pac-12 standings and is winless in conference play thus far.
As long as Stanford does not overlook the Buffs a prob-
lem which should not arise for this veteran-laden, well-
coached squad it should cruise to an easy victory.
The Cardinal starts at 7 p.m. Friday against Utah and 1
p.m. Sunday against Colorado. Both games are at Laird Q.
Cagan Stadium.

PAC-12 PERFECTION TO

Freshman forward Chioma Ubogagu (above) is third on the team in points with 20. She has emerged this season as one of the
Pac-12s most impressive rookies and looks to have another strong weekend against new Pac-12 additions Utah and Colorado.
seconds, shortening what started as a three-goal lead
into a tight 3-2 match by the 25th minute on Sunday,
the team buckled down and had few difficulties as the
game wore on.
Furthermore, the Beavers have lost five out of the
six conference games theyve hosted this season, point-
ing to a potential reversion of the typical home-team
advantage that has thus far confounded the Cardinal
away from the Farm. And both goals came off of very
nice individual plays by Oregon State junior Colin
Mitchell, whom Simon said the team just needs to slow
down more effectively.
[Mitchell] is a very dynamic player, Simon said.
Hes someone we have to pay tighter attention to.
On the whole, however, Simon suggested that fa-
miliarity with both teams will play a decisive hand in
this weekends matches.
We know the teams very well, and they know us, so
we just have to make some adjustments, he said.
Gunther figures to play heavily into those adjust-
ments, as he has been a critical figure in the offensive line-
up. Simon praised his considerable growth over the
course of the season, and noted that his two-footed dis-
tress gives him flexibility to play on both sides of the field.
Senior Alexander Binnie, who headed home a Gun-
ther cross for the second goal of the match against the
Beavers, is also very effective playing with either foot.
Its really nice when both wingers work together,
Binnie said.
Despite its most recent victory, the mens team still
has to overcome a notable challenge this weekend. But
the Cardinal cant afford to lose any more points in
order to play its way into the NCAA Tournament in
November. Garrett believes the team is primed for the
rematches.
We just have to take what we learned from Ore-
gon State and use it against Washington, he said.
Fridays match is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Seattle,
with the team moving on to face Oregon State on Sun-
day afternoon in Corvallis, Ore. at 2:30 p.m.

Critical Pac-12 matches
Luck was, to me, more of a
short-term luxury because he had
to leave. There was no option, no
contract negotiation, no $50,000
bathrooms. With Luck, there was
the potential for a national cham-
pionship the following season. I
wanted the potential for multiple
national championships. Har-
baugh could provide that. Luck
could not.
One year later, it took the lift-
ing of a shirt and an aggressive
handshake to remember that
Stanford had actually lost what
was once called the best thing to
have ever happened to the foot-
ball program. And as much as that
has to do with the magical work of
Luck, it has even more to do with
new head coach David Shaw.
Have you heard of him?
Maybe not, but hes answered
every lingering question and then
some with very few words.
The offense? It lost three line-
men, its two best receivers and the
best fullback in the nation. This
season, its averaging nearly 46
points per game, good enough for
fifth in the country. But Shaw was
the offensive coordinator and in-
herited the best player in the na-
tion, so its not that impressive.
The defense? It just ranks fifth
in the nation, second behind only
Alabama against the run. Remem-
ber when Harbaugh brought Vic
Fangio, Stanfords defensive archi-
tect, with him to San Francisco?
Remember when Shayne Skov,
the teams star middle linebacker
and arguably second best player
next to Luck, went down with a
knee injury less than three games
into this season? Remember how
this was the ultimate derailment to
the Cards championship aspira-
tions? How quickly we forget.
Shaw, in what he calls his dream
job, says all the right things and
makes all the right adjustments. At
halftime against Washington State
this past week, after 30 minutes of
the worst football that Stanford
has played in well over a season, a
vicious hit that sidelined Chris
Owusu and a slew of questionable
calls, Shaw collected his team and
redesigned the offensive game
plan. Stanford won by 30.
Harbaugh did great things for
this school, dont get me wrong,
but there were always whispers of
discontent among his players that
his intentions werent always the
best. Im not sure I disagree. He
has always been an NFL coach
from an NFL family, and Im
thrilled he used Stanford as the
platform from which to launch his
career.
But witnessing a new style of
coaching, one that prefers to be
seen rather than heard, has
brought with it the realization that
Harbaughs methods arent suit-
able for the college ranks. Shaws
are, and its why Stanford is poised
for sustained success. Recruiting
hasnt taken a hit, another BCS
run is in order and concern is back
where it belongs: life after Luck.
The clincher for me happened
after the game against Wazzu.
Shaw was asked about the hit on
Owusu, a play he intensely con-
tested on the sidelines. His re-
sponse?
A couple of years ago, he prob-
ably would have been listed as a
mild concussion because he wasnt
unconscious. Back in the old days,
he would have gone back in the sec-
ond half. Were not in that era any-
more.
Such simple, overlooked re-
sponses like this provide such
great insight into his coaching pri-
orities. Players first, winning sec-
ond, career a very distant third.
Today, no gun in sight, Im
choosing David Shaw, and its not
even close.
Zach Zimmerman will never forget
the day he was thrown out of Har-
baughs $50,000 bathroom. Send
him the location of an equally luxu-
rious toilet at zachz@stanford.edu.

Battle up front will be key to stopping speedy Polk
Pac-12 with more touchdown passes
than Stanford signal-caller Andrew
Luck, and Shaw mentioned that he
was a bit surprised with how fast the
Huskies quarterback had become a
force.
We saw him last year and we
knew that they were going to have
something special, Shaw said. The
question is always how long does
that progression take for a young
quarterback, and [Washington head
coach] Steve Sarkisian has been able
to speed that process up.
Prices ascent has led to compar-
isons to Jake Locker, his predecessor
at quarterback, who was the eighth
overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft by
the Tennessee Titans, but the Cardi-
nal defenders insist that the task of
stopping the Huskies quarterback
will be different this year.
[Price] is a different type of
threat, said senior safety Michael
Thomas. Hes definitely more con-
sistent when hes trying to keep plays
alive and throw it down the field.
[With] Locker, you knew he was try-
ing to run.
Price isnt the only weapon on an
offense that scores 37 points per
game, though, as hes got a talented
running back just behind him in jun-
ior Chris Polk.
Polk was touted as a dark-horse
Heisman contender before the sea-
son, and is widely considered to be
the second-best running back in the
Pac-12 after Oregons LaMichael
James. Polk has amassed 728 yards
and three touchdowns on the ground
this season, but also has two touch-
down catches, highlighting his multi-
tude of talents.
[Polk] is an every-down, every-
situation running back, Shaw said.
Hes physical between the tackles,
hes got speed to beat you to the out-
side. Ive seen them flex him out and
motion him out to catch passes . . .
over the years hes progressively got-
ten better.You cant put him in a box
and say, He just does this.
To defuse the Huskies offensive
attack, both Shaw and the Cardinal
defenders agree that the best way to
stop Price is to cause sacks both with
pressure up front and coverage
downfield.
I think its going to be very im-
portant because hes an athletic kid
with an accurate arm, and we cant let
him sit back there because hell pick
you apart, Shaw said. Hopefully
our coverage is tight enough to make
him hold the ball a split second
longer than he wants to so that a guy
like [senior linebacker] Chase
Thomas can get in there and get him
on the ground. For these guys its
going to take a mix of coverage and
pressure. You dont want [Price] to
know whats always going on.
With the Huskies speed, Stan-
ford will have to clean up some of the
defensive mistakes that it got away
with against a less-dominant Cougar
squad.
Unlike last week when we
missed a couple sacks and guys prob-
ably got away from their coverage,
were going to have to do a better job
of staying with their receivers after
they run their initial route because
theyre definitely doing a scramble
drill,Thomas said.
For the Stanford offense, the
challenge will be to get started fast
after a lackluster first half against
Washington State last weekend, es-
pecially against a Husky defense that
allows the most passing yards in the
Pac-12.
Luck said that the team expects a
higher standard of play, particularly
as the schedule ramps up with three
games against one-loss teams in the
next four weeks.
The deeper you go into the sea-
son, you know youre going to have
to play better week to week,he said.
Luck also mentioned that last
weeks poor first-half performance
left a bad taste for the Cardinal.
I wouldnt say people were upset
and throwing tantrums, but there was
a little sense of unfinished business
and edginess to everyone,he added.
After throwing for 338 yards last
week, with 216 of them coming from
the Cardinals triumvirate of talented
tight ends, Luck will most likely once
again rely heavily on passing to red-
shirt senior Coby Fleener and juniors
Levine Toilolo and Zach Ertz.
The trio, dubbed Trees Compa-
ny by Fleener, credited the Cardi-
nals persistence in the running game
in their success last week, which will
be challenged by a Husky defense
that only allows 97 yards a game on
the ground.
I think it starts with the running
game, in the first half we didnt really
get that going,Ertz said. But in the
second half, we completed some long
passes and got the safeties to move
back, and I think that set up the run
game which kind of got the whole of-
fense going.
Overall, the Cardinal said its
biggest goal will be to finally play that
complete game that has eluded it
so far to this point.
As far as style of play, I would say
that we are close,Shaw said.Weve
played our best football in spurts
a quarter here, a half here.The coach-
es have been saying, Weve got it in
you, now weve got to get it out of
you.
Achieving that goal will be even
more important, Thomas said, be-
cause with the first ranked opponent
coming to town, theres a feeling that
the Cardinals season starts in
earnest this Saturday.
I can say that [our season starts
now], he said. We took care of the
things we needed to take care of to be
where we wanted to be and were in a
position we wanted to be, where we
kind of control our own destiny with-
in the Pac-12.
Stanford and Washington face off
Saturday at 5 p.m. at Stanford Stadi-
um. Television coverage will be on
ABC.

FIELD HOCKEY
Seniors say their
farewells tonight
By SARAH MAISEL
After spoiling Californias sen-
ior day last Sunday, the Stanford
field hockey team looks to send its
own seniors, Ale Moss and
Stephanie Byrne, out with a perfect
NorPac record this Friday against
UC-Davis.
The No. 9 Cardinal (12-2, 5-0
NorPac) last met the Aggies (3-9, 1-
2) on Sept. 25 and easily earned the
3-1 win.
The team plans to honor Moss,
Byrne and redshirt juniors Devon
Holman and Katie Mitchell in a
pregame ceremony. In the groups
time on the Farm, Stanford played
in three NCAA Tournament games
and won the last four NorPac
Championships. The squad has
helped bring recognition to West
Coast field hockey, which has been
the proverbial younger sibling to
East Coast powerhouses like Syra-
cuse, Connecticut and Maryland.
The class was part of the record-
breaking 2009 team, whose 17 victo-
ries are the most in school history.
This year the seniors have seen the
Cardinal climb as high as No. 6 in
the national rankings and win nine
consecutive games, both matching
school records.
The formidable play of Moss and
Byrne on both sides of the field has
made the Cardinal a strong force to
be reckoned with.
Senior goalkeeper Ale Moss will be playing her 76th game in Cardinal
today in her final home appearance. The three-time All-NorPac honoree
and her teammates hope to extend Stanfords perfect conference season.

Open to the public and held in collaboration with Stanford Reunion Homecoming
- The event begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. and seating will be limited thereafter
- Tickets available for $10 each at the Stanford ticket office: 650-725-2787
- Students, faculty and staff can get free tickets with Stanford ID
Theyre both really strong per-
sonalities and that has had a huge
positive effect on the atmosphere
of the team, said assistant student
coach Xanthe Travlos, who played
for the Cardinal from 2007-10.
Moss, a fifth-year senior, estab-
lished herself as a dependably
clutch force in goal and earned All-
NorPac honors three times. Last
season she had career bests of 24
goals allowed and a goals-against-
average of 1.31.This year her defen-
sive dominance has not stopped, as
the Cardinal has dropped only two
games both of which were on
the road.
We like to think of [Ale] as the
hippie of our team, Travlos said.
Shes pretty eccentric. As a goal-
keeper you have to be a little bit
crazy when balls are getting hit at
you at 100 miles an hour.
Byrne, a starting attacker for the
Cardinal, complements Mosss
fierce style of play on the other side
of the field. A consistent player,
Byrne has started all but four
games of her career. In fact, eight of
her 23 career goals have been
game-winners; she secured Stan-
fords 2009 appearance in the
NCAA Tournament with an over-
time goal against Boston Universi-
ty in a play-in game. This year she
leads the team with 11 assists and is
third in overall points with 18.
Ive never met someone who
smiles as much as Steph, Travlos
said. Her bubbly, happy and
charming personality keeps the
team going.
Steph is such a leader, but real-
ly leads by example.As a center for-
ward, its one of the most tiring po-
sitions to play...on attack you have
to make sure you get to each ball,
and she never gives up, Travlos
added.
Friday nights contest should be
an exciting cap to the Cardinals
successful home and conference
campaigns. UC-Davis has gained
valuable experience since its previ-
ous meeting with Stanford; last
week, the Aggies came within one
goal of California late in the game
before falling 3-1. In only the fourth
year of its field hockey program,
UC-Davis has proved it can com-
pete with the best, taking the Cardi-
nal to overtime last season before
Stanford prevailed 2-1.
The biggest thing were think-
ing of is that we give them a lot of
respect and look for whatever they
throw at us, Travlos said, adding
that the squad needs to be flexible
to execute our game plan and be
ready for anything that might hap-
pen. I think thats a really important
part to be a successful team. It takes
a truly great team to play when the
situation isnt always predictable.
This matchup is a chance to con-
tinue the teams momentum as it
goes on the road next week to face
No. 7 Michigan and Michigan State.
The Cardinal takes on the Ag-
gies at 7 p.m. tonight at the Varsity
Turf.

WAYS TO KILL A ZOMBIE
To commemorate the season two premiere of The Walking
Dead on AMC last Sunday, the cast selected its choice of
zombie-slaying tools at New York Comic-Con. We here at
Intermission arent sure if were ready to live a life of secluded
Twinkie-eating and cockroach-befriending quite yet, but just
in case that darned zombie apocalypse pops up anytime
soon, heres how wed deal with those undead suckers.
Eternal flamethrower
Were fairly certain weve never seen a George A. Romero
flick with fire-retardant zombies, so this is a pretty safe bet.
Throw in some sort of technological innovation to keep the
flame going, and its the gift that keeps on giving.
Elven sword
Yes, Intermissions a little bit of a Lord of the Rings fan (ok,
make that an uber dork), but if we somehow got hold of an
Elven sword like Sting the immediate choice might be
Andril, but lets remember that the reforged sword was
Dwarven-made, which means no glow (ok, ok, well stop now)
programmed to glow blue in the presence of zombies
instead of Orcs, wed have a deadly weapon plus a built-in
alarm system. (Take that, Sword of Gryffindor!)
Bulldozer
You can effortlessly crush those nasty undead folk while
remaining out of their grasp from your high perch. This is
what we call a win-win.
Indestructible bubble suit
Think apocalyptic Bubble Boy. Similar to the bulldozer, you
could roll over any zombies in your way while remaining safe
and sanitary inside of your hyperbaric chamber. Just make
sure you include an escape sleeve somewhere so you can
reach out and grab another Twinkie or can of Spam when you
get hungry after all that zombie-squashing.
Shotgun
Sturdy and traditional, it worked for a vigilante hobo as well
as the cast of Zombieland. Simple, classy and effective.

UNAFF reps the Stanford connection
T
oday marks day one of the 14th United
Nations Association Film Festival, originally
founded by Stanford educator Jasmina Bojic to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Every year
UNAFF showcases the most powerful and timely
documentaries from all over the globe, with this years
theme being Education Is A Human Right.
Screenings, panel discussions and receptions with
filmmakers will take place in Palo Alto, East Palo Alto,
San Francisco and Stanford campus through Sunday,
Oct. 30. Not sure what to check out? Here weve high-
lighted several projects with strong ties to the
Stanford community.
Inspired by their 2007 memoir of the same
name, The Power of Two, directed by Marc
Smolowitz, explores the uphill battle of half-Japanese
twin sisters Anabel Stenzel 94 and Isabel Stenzel
Byrnes 94 against the fatal genetic disease cystic fibro-
sis. Since undergoing double lung transplants, the
twins have gone on to become authors, athletes and
global advocates for organ donation. The film incor-
porates archival footage, including that of their tour
of Japan, a nation where transplantation is stigma-
tized, as well as expert interviews from the likes of Dr.
Bruce Reitz, professor emeritus at the Stanford School
of Medicine and the surgeon who performed the
twins transplants.
Independent filmmaker and writer Carol Liu 05
presents Restoring the Light, an inspirational study
of several families coping with debilitating health
problems in rural China. These vignettes include a
young woman
who dreams of
attending univer-
sity despite a
severe bone infec-
tion, her grand-
mother who toils
away in the fields
despite eyesight
diminished by
cataracts and a
dedicated doctor
who sacrifices his
home in order to
establish an inde-
pendent practice
to support the community.
And finally, Theres No Sound in My Head
examines the boundaries between music and visual
art using Stanford faculty Mark Applebaums picto-
graphic score The Metaphysics of Notation, which
for one year was on display at the Cantor Arts Center
Museum along with two hanging mobiles and no
form of instructions. Over the course of the installa-
tion, it received over 45 weekly performances from
interpreters the world over. The film, directed by
Robert Arnold and produced by Applebaum, includes
interviews with musicologists, performance footage
and conversations with the composer himself.

Thri l l er
the vital stats
P
rized Spanish director Pedro
Almodvar returns to the screen with
The Skin I Live In, a psychological
drama infused with equal parts mystery and
body horror. Inspired by Thierry Jonquets
novel Tarantula, what the narrative lacks in
structure it makes up for with the directors
signature aesthetic and mesmerizing perform-
ance by leading man Antonio Banderas.
In a secluded Toledo estate, renowned
plastic surgeon Robert Ledgard (Banderas)
runs a private practice out of his personal
operating room by day while secretly experi-
menting on his captive human subject Vera
(Elena Anaya) by night. As Roberts longtime
housekeeper Marilia (Marisa Paredes) later
explains to Vera, the doctors obsession with
crafting the perfect synthetic skin is a direct
result of his wifes death 12 years ago. In the
aftermath of a near-fatal car accident, Robert
saved his wifes severely burned body from the
wreckage, only for her to later throw herself
from the bedroom balcony upon seeing her
disfigured reflection. Unfortunately the cou-
ples young daughter Norma (Blanca Surez)
witnessed the suicide, leading to immense
emotional instability.
As the Ledgard familys tragedy unfolds
we are introduced to Vicente (Jan Cornet), a
young man whose fate becomes intertwined
with theirs when, six years prior to the present,
he attends the same wedding as Robert and
Norma, who has temporarily been released
from psychiatric care. Vicente persuades
Norma to take a walk, but once they reach the
garden his advances abruptly transition from
flirtatious to carnal. He flees when Norma
screams, and in his hasty exit he accidentally
knocks her out. Robert soon comes looking
for his daughter, but when she awakens she
imagines that he is the rapist. Feeling helpless
now that Norma is institutionalized once
again, Robert decides to unleash his vengeance
upon Vicente.
Past and present continually converge and
diverge, weaving a tangled web of relationships
that makes each revelation more disturbing
than the last. Even for Almodvar, a man
notorious for his unrestrained treatments of
desire, passion and identity, The Skin I Live
In is considerably dark and chilling. And per-
haps this is where the story begins to come
apart. The crucial plot twist comes relatively
late in the film, making everything prior feel
aimless and everything after feel like a race to
the storys inevitable conclusion.
The Skin I Live In boasts stunning cine-
matography from frequent collaborator Jos
Luis Alcaine, creating a stark contrast between
the picturesque Spanish countryside and the
vividly visceral surgical interior of Roberts
home. The other fruitful reunion is, of course,
that between the director and Banderas, who
featured prominently in a number of
Almodvars films before transitioning to
Hollywood in the late 1980s. Like Jimmy
Stewart or Cary Grant in a Hitchcock film,
Banderas brings a nuanced performance so
engrossing that one cannot fully dislike his
character despite his flaws.
Those less familiar with Almodvars
work are more likely to be impressed by his
newest film. In adapting Jonquets story,
Almodvar is adept at creating suspense but
ultimately holds on to the story too long
before letting the audience in. While The
Skin I Live In marks a decent foray into the
realm of horror for the director, it pales in
comparison to his other films, suggesting that
perhaps he ought to stick with his own origi-
nal material.

S
cience fiction lovers, including yours
truly, had high hopes when word got
out of a Lost-meets-Avatar-meets-
Jurassic-Park lovechild. Time-traveling por-
tals! Dinosaurs! Did I say dinosaurs? And
whos that producing? Could it be is that
Steven Spielberg? These science fiction
lovers simply asked: Where do we sign up?
And so it was that three weeks ago they
sat with bated breath as a camera panned over
the surface of a moon and the following
words appeared: At the dawn of the 22nd
century . . . the world is on the verge of col-
lapse . . . mankinds only hope for survival . . .
lies 85 million years in the past. Sigh. If only
the rest could live up.
The issue with Terra Nova is not its
concept, which reads as follows: 138 years
from now, mankind has poisoned its atmos-
phere and small groups of colonists are being
sent 85 million years back in time to a settle-
ment of humans trying to rebuild civilization.
The Shannon family
is one such lucky
group. Sure, they
immigrated illegally,
but no one has the
heart to turn away
three kids and its
probably too much
trouble anyway (time-
traveling is a compli-
cated business).
Its not the con-
cept thats the prob-
lem, but its lack of
depth. Everything is too safe, too ordinary and
too predictable. Like any ABC Family show (its
a low blow, I know), Terra Novais white-
washed with serenely good-looking characters
whose best attempts at sounding troubled just
make them look unnaturally angst-y. You
know the rest: the parents look 10 years older
than their kids; theres a messy father-son rela-
tionship; theres the brainy sister who cant talk
to boys. Theres no true dysfunction; every
domestic issue here has been dialed in from a
formula. When they try to be humorous, I can
only cringe.
Sadly, theres a pervasive sense of bland-
ness that cheapens the entire series. The
refugee compound looks like a spread from
some eco-garden magazine; their refugee
home looks like a catalogue for Restoration
Hardware; their refugee (did I mention theyre
refugees?!) clothes are immaculately clean.
To make up for its lack of emotional tru-
ism, the producers score the entire series with
music I can only assume theyve borrowed
from CSI and tracks that never made the
Avatar soundtrack. In light of how manufac-
tured the characters and drama seem, the
music reads as ridiculously overdramatic. The
visuals, especially the panoramic shots of
Terra Nova (of which there are many), are
colorful and impressively realistic, but even
they possess that unshakably fake veneer.
Three episodes in, the writers are begin-
ning to tease out specif-
ic storylines, and surely
they have more revela-
tions up their sleeves.
But they just dont seem
up to the task of craft-
ing compelling charac-
ters. Youd have to over-
haul the entire show to
imbue it with the edge
and depth of Lost. Its
absence of multi-
dimensional charac-
ters and even worse, its
holistic blandness, are fatal flaws. If we dont
care about the people who inhabit this world,
why should we care about that world itself? In
the end Terra Nova is a series that tries to
emulate better examples of science fiction.
But even its title card, which looks like the
logo of a start-up company, cannot stack up.

newest album, Strange Mercy,Clark packed
more on-stage charisma into her
tiny self than most groups do
into a five-piece band. Her

burly, pulling
the audience in
with theah-ah-
ah-ahof
Cheerleaderand
the lyric simplicity
of Your Lips Are
Red.Even the
bros in the audience
and there were
many raised
their arms in
excitement for
Cruel.Most of
the set sounded
harsher, louder
and a bit crazier than the haze on her album,
and it only made us respect Clark more for
being unafraid to let loose.
Attention, Stuff White People Like.If you
only get to pick one band, make it The Head
And The Heart. The Seattle-based groups
somewhat-Mumford-somewhat-folksy music
fell at the perfect time of the day: the band, fac-
ing east, was framed in the dusty backlighting
of the sun setting over the Bay. You really could-
nt have gotten more picturesque if you had
tried.
Dream-pop duo Beach House played in
front of a weird audience, but according to
Victoria Legrand, Weird isnt a bad thing. Its
a compliment. And yall are weird. Legrand
spent much of the set enjoying the characters
fromthe audience who got their 15 seconds of
fame with a cameo on the big screen.
Distracted as she was between sets, Legrand
and guitarist Alex Scally put on a beautiful
show, hitting most of their still-freshTeen
Dream. The intense bass drumhits of 10
Mile Stereo were the perfect transition from
daylight to moonlight on the island.
On the walk toward the Bridge Stage for
Friendly Fires, something didnt seemright. It
was way too quiet on the approach, even with
Ed Macfarlane screaming his larynx out into
the mic. After a song and a half spent in audio
purgatory, the festivals side stage received a
quick fix, as the stage-right sound systemburst
into life to provide the cure. Warmed up and
backed by the shining San Francisco skyline,
Macfarlane boogied intoSkeleton Boy,
unafraid of whiplash and apparently fashion
critique (his Hawaiian shirt was terrible).
Popping with energy fromEdd Gibson, who
brandished his guitar like a Kalashnikov, to the
funky backing horn players, the trio fromSt.
Albans, England seemed a Sunday scheduling
mishap, especially with the synth-heavy
Paris, which would have been right at home
a day before.
There was only one band on everyones
mind after Sunday at Treasure Island.
Explosions Inthe Sky are not just superior
songwriters, they are masters of their instru-
ments and clearly enjoy nothing more than
sharing their passion with an audience. All three
guitarists had very distinct playing styles and
roles within the songs. Despite having no
singers, Michael James was clearly the front
man, taking the smooth guitar solos and going
all out with his strumming. Munaf Rayani had
the privilege of making the loudest noise of the
entire weekend by simply slapping all the strings
of his guitar to create a sonic boom10 times
louder than any bass drum. The wall of sound,
though most pronounced during Rayanis
strikes, never ceased for the Austin band. Their
five-member set had every aural and emotional
range covered. Never before were there such
enthusiastic chants for one more song at a festi-
val. The only disappointment of their showwas
their inability to comply.
Brooklyn rockers The Hold Steady didnt
quite fit in with Sundays lineup mostly
because theyd have fit in better in 1975.
Unabashedly classic in style and brash in exe-
cution, the band spent Sunday evening crash-
ing through their hits and pulling out clean-
as-a-whistle guitar solos that made the audi-
ence feel like they lived in a pre-computer
world.
Inheriting the main stage at TIMF from
his significant other a year later, Ben Gibbard
and Death Cab For Cutie marked their return
to the Bay Area with the closing set of this
years festival. But for a band that put out a
new record, Codes And Keys, there seemed
to be a certain boredomto it all. Yes, there was
new material to be had and even older materi-
al to be dusted off, but the band continued to
play the expected for a particularly unadven-
turous set list. Seven full albums into their
careers, DCFC have settled into a comfort
zone that spans Transatlanticism and what-
ever their newest release is, leaving little room
for experimentation or divergence.
An average Death Cab show, however, is
nothing to be scoffed at. Gibbard still com-
manded the stage, whipping his hair back and
forth as he jumped fromguitar to piano for I
Will Possess Your Heart andWe Looked Like
Giants. Nick Harmer jammed away at his
bass, while Jason McGerr received shout-outs
fromhis own little fan entourage at the front.
It was enjoyable, but with Monday looming,
some of the crowd had already made its way
toward the shuttles, leaving an Explosions In
the Sky-sized hole at the Main Stage. Stopping
to dance with the jellies on their way ahome,
the early departures made one last salute to
TIMF 2011 before heading off into the night.

reasure Island Music Festival came to
an iPhone-friendly close last weekend
with a jaw-dropping sunset on Sunday
evening. A testament to the young festivals
flexibility, San Franciscos satellite island sup-
ported both an Explosions in the Sky rock con-
flagration as well as a nostalgia-inducing tour
with Death Cab for Cutie on its closing night.
Over two days, 26 acts across the musical
slate attracted 25,000 attendees a number
sizable enough to produce a lively atmosphere
and small enough to make the Korean BBQ
line doable. Fromthe primal aggression of
Saturdays sweat-provoking sets to the pure
rock of Sunday, Intermission was on hand to
capture the moments for yearbook posterity.
Treasure Island, youre great; dont ever change.
SATURDAY
To anyone who thought The Naked And
Famous was going to give a shiny pop set:
should have brought earplugs. The band of
Kiwis switched between Passion-Pit-esque
melodies and shredding guitars and touched
on tracks fromtheir only albumPunching
in a Dream andThe Sun.
The island wasnt prepared to receive the
Portuguese electro-dance crew Buraka Som
Sistema. Repping the progressive kuduro style
(think tribal house), the group whiplashed
curious onlookers into a disjointed, pulsating
frenzy. The lyrics may not have been as aggres-
sively lewd as last years Die Antwoord, but the
ass-shaking definitely was. The four dudes
ripped through their BPM-raising Hangover
(BaBaBa), but they alone couldnt lead the
dancing tide. It was their booty-clapping
dancer-MC, Blaya, who skyrocketed the tempo
fromclub to breakneck and put all the waifish
indie girls to shame.
Dizzee Rascal, the self-proclaimed Best
MC in England, only needed a bare stage and
one supporting MC to draw the Treasure
Island population to the Bridge Stage. The
crowd readily responded to the rappers
instructions to jump and bounce fromthe get-
go, but the show hit perfection after the high-
energy, hilariously anti-drug song Bassline
Junkie. No one could resist the call of the Big,
dirty, stinkin bass, a feeling that was sustained
throughDance Wiv Me (sadly lacking Calvin
Harris, though the guest singer did nicely) and
the seductive Holiday.
As a creator, Flying Lotus is a genre-dis-
solving mastermind. With the onset of night
over the island, FlyLo shook the island to its
core, sending shockwaves as far as the Silent
Disco, which was supposed to be, well, silent.
The most electronic of acts, the L.A. producer
alternated between experimental beats and
crowd-pleasers, squinting at his laptop as his
mouth remained locked in a permanent grin.
After spewing out Robo Tussin, a remix of Lil
Waynes A Milli and mouthing the words to
Tyler The Creators Yonkers, Flying Lotus
closed his set with a promise. Find me a house
party tonight in San Francisco, and Ill come
and play free of charge, he said. Were guessing
someone had a good post-TIMF night.
Cut Copy, slotted before fellow
Australians Empire Of The Sun, put on a
show to make the land down under quake.
Fittingly, a school of iridescent jellyfish surged
through the crowd for the nighttime set,
wafting through the exuberant dancers looking
like the poltergeists fromthe bands second
album, In Ghost Colours. In his bands
decade of performing, singer Dan Whitford
has transformed froma laptop junkie into a
festival maestro, seen Saturday night in his
double fist pumping and dandy foot stomping
to the Zonoscope-dominated set. The ani-
mated frontman still looked like a robot in
comparison to Empire of the Suns diva, Luke
Steele, but the Melbourne electronic quartet
proved that their years of touring have cultured
a tight, synth-pulsing, dance-demanding live
show.
SUNDAY
Annie Clark wasted no time getting into
the meat of St. Vincents set and jumped
straight intoSurgeon before the crowd fin-
ished cheering her arrival.
I spent the summer on my back,
she moaned, then laced her breezy
voice with sharp growls from
her guitar. Fresh off the crit-
ical acclaimfor her

or better or for worse, my gener-
ation is afflicted with extreme
spoiler-phobia. You know the
feeling: one moment, youre having an
innocent chat with a friend or catch-
ing up with Twitter. Then suddenly
our spoiler-sense tingles, sending us
cringing into an eyes-shut, ears-cov-
ered fetal position. For some, its a
pretty powerful force. I have friends
who regularly go into a total media
blackout every holiday season just to
avoid catching a glimpse theyd rather
forget.
Spoilers are hardly a vice, but
they have the same tantalizing appeal.
As someone who peruses the Web for
game info on an almost hourly basis, I
often find myself just one click away
from getting that little endorphin hit
with a leaked cutscene or an interview
that went too far. After years of wait-
ing for even a morsel of info on
games like Skyward Sword or Skyrim,
its an internal battle that I struggle to
win.
But what if I told you that spoil-
ing a game could actually make it
better?
As a psych major, I was both
skeptical and intrigued when I read a
Science Daily article suggesting exact-
ly that. To be fair, the study in ques-
tion wasnt exclusively about games.
But even so, its implications seem
neatly extendable to the Uncharteds
and Mass Effects of the world.
This is probably the boring part
for most of you, so Ill make the
explanation brief. The study was con-
ducted at UC-San Diego by Nicholas
Christenfeld and Jonathan Leavitt,
who presented one of 12 short stories
to two separate groups. The stories,
mostly classics from the likes of John
Updike and Agatha Christie, were cat-
egorized as either ironic-twist,mys-
teryor literary.One set of subjects
saw an introductory para-
graph that essentially
spoiled the plot, while the
other group read the same story with
the plot-spoiling paragraph inserted
at some point later on.
Incredibly, a majority of test sub-
jects preferred the spoiled versions of
the stories.
Looking at the results,
Christenfeld extrapolates that plots
are just excuses for great writing.
What the plot is is (almost) irrelevant.
The pleasure is in the writing.
Bringing that a little closer to
gamer lingo, you might say that it
doesnt particularly matter where a
story is taking a player, but rather how
we get there.
Leavitts explanation sings the
same tune, as the doctoral student
says its cognitively easierto focus on
a deeper understanding of the story
once you how it turns out.
For some games and indeed,
for some gamers I think I can
agree. In their most pure, traditional
form, video games dont so much
present a player with a story or even
allow them to influence it with fully
realized feedback, a la Dragon Age:
Origins. The stark presentation of
games like the original Zelda, Metroid
or even the very modern Limbo give
players only the most basic rudiments
of context and purpose. By necessity,
the storytelling becomes an active and
internal process unique to each play-
er; in some ways, its the opposite of
how each readers personal version of
Middle Earth looks a little different.
With each action, the player con-
structs an evolving framework of how
the game world operates and what
motivates its characters.
But if you spoil a game like that,

A
s a die-hard Fall Out Boy fan, I was
thrilled that Patrick Stump was coming
out with a solo album. But his new
release, Soul Punk, sadly falls a little flat. The
problem is inherent in the albums title
Stump attempts to mesh together two very dif-
ferent musical styles, soul and punk, but fails to
do so coherently, resulting instead in sheer
cacophony.
To his credit, Stump orchestrated nearly
everything for Soul Punk he wrote, played
and produced pretty much every track on the
albumbut his great talent is obscured by
garish musical clutter at every turn. The album
opens with the high-
energy, aptly named
track Explode, whose
radically different style
serves as a clear indica-
tion that this album is
decidedly Stumps, and
not a showcase for Fall
Out Boy 2.0. From this
very first track, howev-
er, it is clear that something is off. The song is
overproduced, with Stumps attempts at creat-
ing a groovy vibe turning the song into an
overwhelmingly synth-driven, exceedingly
syncopated burst of noise. It is indeed an
explosion, but not in a good way.
This City comes much closer to hitting
the mark, chock full of catchy beats and sport-
ing a sing-a-long chorus, though the Lupe
Fiasco remix that closes the album seems
unnecessary. The punk is barely evident in
this feel-good piece and in the album as a
whole, mostly surfacing in the sharp irony of
the some of the lyrics.
The next track, Dance Miserable, is
another example of the albums incoherence;
the jarring percussion clashing horribly with
Stumps soulful wailing. Spotlight is a shim-
mery tune with an infectious beat that could
have been Stumps redeeming song, had it not
all come crashing down again with the next
song, The I in Lie.
Whatever this is, it doesnt feel right,
Stump sings in this Fall Out Boy-esque titled
track, It might have felt good for a minute, but
admit it to yourself, it aint right. Though he
was singing about the immorality of an illicit
affair, these lyrics may well have been about
the album itself. This soul punk genre
Stump is trying to champion has so much
potential, but isnt executed well here at all.
The heavy synth-beats and dance rhythms
crowd out Stumps soulful runs and forays
into falsetto in nearly every track. The best
part of the entire album is Stumps utterly
unique voice, but it is drowned out by busy
backdrops and distracting disco effects.
This trend continues throughout the rest
of the album, with the songs getting progres-
sively more filled with junk. For instance, Run
Dry (X Heart X Fingers) starts off promising-
ly with an a cappella, echoey intro in the style
of Fall Out Boy. Eight long minutes later,
though, the song itself seems to have run dry,
breaking down into little more than white
noise for the last painful minute of the piece.
Allie may be the albums best song, with a
much more subdued backing track that allows
Stumps vocals to shine through, if only for a
brief moment of respite.
We can only hope that Stump meant what
he said in the title of the albums penultimate
track, Coast (Its Gonna Get Better). There is
no disputing Stumps immense musical talent
he just needs to refine his sound and let his
voice do the talking rather than trying to jazz
his songs up with unnecessary clutter.

eople tend to group all
Communityepisodes into
one of two categories: high-
energy genre parodies, like the
paintball episodes or the stop-
motion Christmas episode, and the
regular old sitcom episodes. And
while it doesnt hurt to group the
episodes this way, I think its a gross
oversimplification. What makes
Communityone of my favorite
shows on television is the way it
manages to cover such a broad
spectrum of stories. While last
years critically-acclaimed bottle
episode Cooperative Calligraphy
was high-concept, is it really the
same kind of episode as the paint-
ball episodes? Even Advanced
Dungeons and Dragonsis a fairly
straight genre parody, but it uses
the genre in a much more ground-
ed, emotional way than, say, the
Apollo 11parody in Basic
Rocket Science.
In my opinion, the best
episodes of the series are the ones
that find a comfortable place in the
middle of that continuum; theyre
guided by some high concept, but
motivated by the characters them-
selves. Its not that the genre paro-
dies arent fun, but its easy for the
sound of paintballs firing to drown
out the characters themselves.
Thats why when I talk about my
favorite episodes, season ones
paintball episode Modern
Warfaredoesnt make it onto the
list as it does for many other
Communityfans. Ill take
episodes like Paradigms of
Human Memory,which parodied
sitcom clip episodes, and last
weeks Remedial Chaos Theory
any day.
Now,Remedial Chaos
Theoryis the type of episode that
falls squarely in the middle of the
Communitycontinuum. Its
high-concept a single dice roll at
Troy and Abeds housewarming
party causes the timeline to frag-
ment into seven different stories
but its more about how the differ-
ent combinations of characters
interact in each of the split time-
lines than the split itself. In fact, it
blends the elements together so
well that many people consider it
the best episode of Community.
While I dont necessarily agree, Im
not sure I could point to an
episode thats done a better job of
showing the groups dynamic.
It was also exciting to see the
beginning of the power struggle
show runner Dan Harmon has
been promising between Troy and
Jeff. People have been making a lot
of the fact that the darkest, most
terribletimeline (the one where
Pierce died, Jeff lost an arm and
Britta got a wash-away blue streak
in her hair) happened when Troy
wasnt with the study group; only a
few have been pointing out that it
was his over-eagerness that kicked
off the traumatic chain reaction.
Its easy to criticize Jeff for being
too aloof, but everyone just sees
Troys childish traits as adorable.
Troys birthday episode last year
was a big step for him, but even if
he insists hes a man, is he really
ready to be a leader?
The real leader that emerged
was Abed. After all, hes the one
who gave the Jeff-style speech at
the end of the episode. And when
he was gone, the entire group
devolved in to squabbling. Im not
sure if its a misdirection, or maybe
Im reading too much into it, but it
seems like theres something there.
Of course, on top of all of this
analysis of story and characteriza-
tion, the episode is just a lot of fun.
The recurring jokes that character-
ize a lot of Communityshumor
play out perfectly across multiple
timelines, and the ridiculous
depths to which the dark timeline
sink are probably the funniest esca-
lation since the conspiracy theories
episode last year.
While I didnt have as many
problems with the first few
episodes of the season as most
people did, Ill admit that it stuck a
bit too close to the sitcom end of
the spectrum (Changs noir story
being the exception). If they can
continue to write episodes that bal-
ance the two sides of the show this
well, then theres no telling where
the study group will go this year.

through the game with their mind at ease,
passively sorting everything they see into the
correctmental bucket. Its not for everyone,
but I can see the appeal of that.
Looking back a couple years, I think
BioWares marketing department was well
aware of that concept when it was ramping up
excitement for Mass Effect 2. (Pardon the ironic
spoiler warning here.) Casey Hudson & Co.
made it plenty clear that Commander Shepard
would embark on a suicide missionby games
end, a proclamation that angered many gamers.
But regardless, BioWares marketing strategy
may have actually heightened the tension
players felt in the already dramatic and non-
linear space opera.
Not all games are so open-ended,
though. When a rollercoaster thrill-ride like
Modern Warfare 3 has its plot leaked moths
ahead of release, it can legitimately ruin some
of the one-off surprises that make the game
so entertaining.
Ultimately, gamers need to manage their
own exposure to spoilers. But we should
remember that games
today allow for an incredi-
ble diaspora of experiences,
and not all of them are
necessarily enhanced by going in blind. This
study might say a spoiler warningis noth-
ing to worry about, but as for me, I think Ill
still find myself fighting the urge to scroll
down next time I come across those terrify-
ing, seductive words.

omecoming. This weekends
big event has one of Roxys
favorite words packaged
right in, so its already doing some-
thing right for her. And while some
of you might like 69 as a position,
Roxy prefers 69 as a vintage. Like the
classy pornography of yesteryear or
an old bottle of Merlot, lovers get
better with age. So as our predeces-
sors enjoy hors doeuvre under those
white tents, Roxy suggests you bring
some of that sausage (or sushi) back
under the sheets. But Roxy knows
that it takes a little work to turn
innuendo into in-yo-end-o, so she
thought all you cubs and kittens
might want a little help landing a
cougar or sugar daddy.
Before you blow your target,
you need to know your target. When
dealing with an older generation,
being cocky wont get you as far as
youd hope. For all the boots Roxys
knocked in her time on the Farm,
she knows that lower class years
mean higher experience. You might
be riding the momentum of your
frat-fueled descent from high school
innocence, but for that studly gentle-
man with the silver streaks or the
scorched-blond MILF passing you
winks, carnal is banal. It might
sound intimidating, especially since
Roxy wears her horny little heart on
her sleeve (even if she isnt wearing
much else).
Another word of warning: Youll
likely be going for sober prey in
broad daylight, two factors that Roxy
isnt used to from her dark, sweaty
nights on Sigma Nus beer-coated
dance floor. Roxy knows it takes
some work to make that scene sexy,
but dont fall back on your tried-
and-true pickup line of nice shoes,
wanna fuck?Youll need something
classier for the class of 86, especially
sans-drank. (But Roxy still likes to
pregame her homecoming tent-raid-
ing, just to take the edge off.)
But fear not, young hunters. You
may be a fish out of water this week-
end, but these alluring alumni will
never feel more in their element.
They were Stanford students once,
after all and nothing gets those
hormones flowing like a trip back to
the old stomping grounds (if
stomping is what you want to call
it). Roxy is usually the one making
the moves, but sometimes its best to
just let someone else take over. So
turn on your cougar-radar or sugar
daddy-sonar, practice your innocent
smile and let those home-comers go
to work. And who knows? When
Roxys back in bed, those aged-to-
perfection lovers might even show
her a few new tricks.
Come on home, baby.
If youre a jobless alumni still looking
for something to do, drop Roxy a line
