Students use their summer breaks to find and become teachers to others
From developing open platforms for educational start-ups to helping empower at-risk youth in Redwood City, several Stanford students working at Stanford or in the Bay Area this summer are fostering close mentorships as part of their summer work. Joseph Abbott 14, a computer science major currently living in Crothers, hopes to hone in on his interests in computer science and education through an internship with Root-1, an educational start-up based in Mountain View. He complements this internship with tutoring on the side. Just one year since its founding, Root-1 has tested new platforms for education with charter schools around the Bay Area. The start-up focuses on middle- and high school-level content and creates applications with an open platform for teachers to add original or available content to games. Subjects range from vocabulary and sentence structure to mathematics. One of the most definitive aspects of Abbotts experience this summer is his close work with several ex-Google engineers in his company. We found out that every engineer had one intern matched up, Abbott said, adding that because of this, his learning experience so far has much more enriching and demanding than previous summer jobs. Last summer, Abbott tutored in his hometown in Texas. My appointed engineer and I actually have a lot in common, and I think thats why we were paired up, he said. He is extremely thorough and pays great attention to detail. That is something I really appreciate as a novice in programming who is just trying to get a feel for how industry-quality code looks and works. For Patrick Lee 14, an intended chemistry major, his summer job performing research for the Department of Chemistry is his first real job. Lee received a Bing Grant to work in Professor Chaitan Khoslas chemistry lab doing research on inhibitors of bacteria with a Type III secretion system, such as salmonella, yersinia and chlamydia. Lee says the project is vital

Long lines of high school students attending summer camps coupled with Stanford students living on campus this quarter crowd Arrillaga Family Dining Commons.
Its 6 p.m. on a Thursday. High school students in suits surround the doors of the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons business conference attendees. Inside the building, the stairs are crammed with students dodging dozens of summer campers traveling up and down. The line extends down the stairs, but today is not as bad as when it extends outside or wraps around to Escondido Road. As I move farther up the line, a whiteboard with a colorfully written schedule on it becomes visible: Eight summer programs are scheduled to dine at Arrillaga between 5 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. With most dining halls reserved for summer conferences or closed for renovations, Arrillaga is the only dining hall open to students, faculty and staff this summer. With The Axe and Palm closed, Olives staying open for shorter hours and Lagunita Dining only serving students living in certain residences,
students are left with limited summer dining options. Once through the crowd, I swipe through, only to be met with many shorter lines to brave. In the background of a loud sea of voices, I hear dishes fall to the floor. Lines form up behind the silverware, the drink machine and the frozen yogurt, and even French fries require a wait. After finally getting my food, I meet the next obstacle: seating. High school students fill the tables, with the occasional Stanford student scattered about. A girl passes me, complaining to her friend that there is nowhere to sit. I look around and see shes right. I check outside on the balcony, with no luck. I take a peek at the other side of the dining hall. Also full. Finally, someone gets up to leave, and I take his spot. Its super crowded and they run out of food quickly, said Jessica Waldman 15.

Ike Shehadeh had reached his breaking point. The 29-year-old San Francisco native had dropped out of college to start a supermarket business, only to see it fall apart a few years later. He was sleeping anywhere he could, including in vans and on friends couches pretty much anywhere he
could find shelter. For months, he even called an abandoned warehouse without electricity his home. I felt terrible, Shehadeh said, reflecting on the experience. I needed to get out of there. I wanted to make sure that I was going to at least try my business. So on Halloween in 2007, just three months after he was bagging groceries at a local Trader Joes grocery store, Shehadeh opened up shop in San Franciscos Castro
neighborhood a modest 400-squarefoot hole-in-the-wall sandwich eatery. He called it Ikes Place. That first night, Shehadeh didnt sell a single sandwich. It was one of the worst days of my life, he said. Nearly five years later, customers who gorge themselves on one of the 20,000

Although the July 3 announcement regarding the discovery of the Higgs boson particle was made in Geneva, Switzerland, physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park were anything but distanced from the discovery. Some Stanford researchers were there in Geneva. Ten Stanford-affiliated physicists were on location working for CERN at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, some were in attendance at the International Conference of High Energy Physics in Melbourne, Australia, and some 25 theorists and six experimentalists waited until midnight to watch the announcement from SLAC itself. The announcement revealed the findings of two independent research projects based at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) and ATLAS which confirmed the existence of a particle that fit the profile constructed for the Higgs boson after years of speculation. Several SLAC physicists played a role in the ATLAS project. We saw the . . . reconstructed mass from the two experiments was roughly the same, 125 to 126 gigaelectron volts, said SLAC experimental physicist Tim Barklow. They both saw roughly the same signal and the same decay modes and roughly the same mass. And they
both achieved that independently, so it was just absolute confirmation that a new particle had been seen. The important discovery of the particle resulted in an outpouring of praise and awe from scientists across the globe. The Higgs boson would explain the origin of mass through the establishment of a Higgs field, a ubiquitous quantum field responsibly for giving elementary particles their mass. Whats important is this thing called the Higgs field . . . and thats what makes things have mass, thats what makes things even exist, said Andy Freeberg, director of media relations for SLAC. So finding this Higgs boson, this particle, is sort of evidence for the fact that the Higgs field exists. Freeberg compares the Higgs field to a magnetic field. While in a magnetic field, objects are acted upon based on their mass, and a Higgs field would in and of itself determine this mass. The mass would be decided based on the extent to which the Higgs field interacts with different types of particles. The Higgs boson confirms what has been a crucial part of our understanding of subatomic particles for several decades, Barklow said. [It] has been theorized to give mass to all the fundamental particles in nature. And . . . the particle associated with this Higgs field has now been discovered after decades of searching. On top of the 40-odd SLAC physicists who-
OLLIE KHAKWANI/The Stanford Daily
played a direct role in the ATLAS project, research conducted at SLAC in the 1990s also paved the way for the discovery of the particle. Although SLACs particle collider is no longer in use, it facilitated research on the Z boson, another elementary particle. The understanding of the Z boson helped determined where to look for the Higgs boson, according to Freeburg. Despite this landmark discovery in physics, however, both Barklow and Freeberg say that there is still much more ground to cover. The complexities of the Higgs boson and Higgs field still need to be mapped out. Their hope is that pinning down these specifics will allow the world of physics to apply this knowledge to other pressing questions, such as the existence of supersymmetry. This really key model, the standard model of physics, works, Freeburg said, and all of the major pieces are potentially now in place.

ASSU Executive plans to shrink cabinet, give less in stipends

academic and co-curricular backgrounds, Zimbroff said. Our cabinet members will have experience interacting with administrators and the resourcefulness to handle student issues in several different areas, Wagstaff said. One of the best things cabinet members can do is have a sense of the bigger picture, how all the moving parts of student life fit together. Along with fewer cabinet members, salaries are expected to change as well. $7,000 was set aside for the executive cabinet from the past fiscal years budget, and Zimbroff believes the full amount will not be used this year because of the changes. How much of [the budget] we actually use to pay our cabinet depends on the [exact] number of people we end up hiring, he said. The money unused for . . . stipends will be allocated back to student activities during the year. Generally, the cabinet members will be paid more, because there are fewer of them, he added. A third change that will occur is the separation of the Community Action Board (CAB) from the ASSU Executive. According to Wagstaff, the CAB will now function as an ASSU-chartered organization under the advisement of Tommy Lee Woon, associate dean of educational resources. The idea behind this change was to make the CAB a stable body at Stanford, independent of the changing priorities of the ASSU Executive, and to increase the institutional knowledge with support from administrators, Wagstaff said. With the changes to the CAB, decreasing salary payout across the cabinet and a decrease in the number of people involved, Zimbroff and Wagstaff hope to stress teamwork and create a streamlined, balanced Executive. The goal is to create a tight-knit team, Zimbroff said. Strong teams work well balancing individual and group efforts, and thats what were shooting for here. Contact Samantha Gilbert at samanthag. nbtb12@gmail.com.
The 2012-2013 ASSU Executive cabinet will be significantly smaller and cost less money, according to incoming ASSU President Robbie Zimbroff 12. This years cabinet is going to be much leaner than last years, Zimbroff said in an email to The Daily. The target number is around three or four people. Thats a significant cut from the 19 appointed by 2011-2012 ASSU Executive Michael Cruz 12 and Stewart Macgregor-Dennis 13. [The change] also coincides with a shift in philosophy, he said. The main impetus for change is . . . common sense, just doing what will work . . . instead of having a Chair of Food or a Chair of Social Entrepreneurship. Noting the need for greater diversity, Zimbroff and his vice president, William Wagstaff 12, have not designated specific cabinet roles on the application.

mouth-watering sandwiches that Ikes Place sells every week may be surprised by the restaurants humble beginnings. Far more remarkable, however, is the journey of its owner. I remember a moment, about three months before I opened up Ikes, I thought about all of the things that I thought about growing up about being something special, he said. I realized that maybe none of it was ever going to happen, maybe I wasnt going to be anything, maybe I wasnt meant to be anything. Since hitting that emotional rock bottom in July of 2007, Shehadeh has taken steps to rebuild his life through his burgeoning business. Although he does not dwell on those times much anymore, Shehadeh derives a sense of sustained motivation from his experiences. Right now, I dont really look back upon my past as a negative at all. I find it inspiring, he said. I find it humorous. I find it refreshing that I was able to be in all those places and still have the ability to not let it keep me. Having escaped from those places, Ike started his own Place, and revisited his childhood in the process. When I was eight years old, I remember I would always turn my leftover meals into sandwiches, he said. So when I was looking to get into the food industry, I just wanted to open up a sandwich place. And Shehadeh made sandwiches. Lots of them. The eclectic menu, which features hundreds of distinct offerings, indirectly resulted from Shehadehs lack of spending money as a young restaurateur.

A postdoctoral mentor has been overseeing Lees project, giving him tips on safety and teaching him relevant techniques, such as how to use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. I have a huge amount of respect for how he is able to attend to his own projects and help me out at the same time, Lee said, adding that he found the general aura of excitement produced by the older mentors in the lab motivating. I really admire the enthusiasm and dedication of the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the lab, said Lee. Its truly exciting to know youre in the midst of cutting-edge research, and its inspiring to see such commitment from the lab members day in and day out. Michael Celentano 14 is a research assistant for Physics Professor Giorgio Gratta, doing research on radiation oncology. Celentano is studying how tumor motions affect radiation. Celentano says he is excited about his summer research this year, which is much more fastpaced than his physics research in summers past. The potential to help cancer patients is very exciting, Celentano said. He added that the products he is working on might be implemented in treatments in Stanford Hospital and Clinics.

Ike Shehadeh, owner of the Ikes Place sandwich franchise, stands outside his shop in the Huang Engineering Center at Stanford.
Ikes Place, Shehadeh could only afford to eat in at his own restaurant. Eating three to five sandwiches a day, I was definitely looking for some more variety, so the menu started expanding, he said. Shehadeh claims to have eaten 1,000 of his own sandwiches in 2008, including the #1 Elvis Kieth (halal chicken, teriyaki sauce, wasabi mayo and Swiss cheese) sandwich for 90 consecutive days. An avid sports enthusiast, Shehadeh has also invented sandwiches representing some of the San Francisco Giants pitchers, such as the Matt Cain, which was named ESPNs greatest sports sandwich in the country for 2011. This past year, he developed a sandwich in the likeness of a San Francisco 49ers player in exchange for NFC Championship tickets. It was a good trade . . . for both of us, Shehadeh chuckled. Apart from the variety present in the menu, many other elements of Shehadehs life before fame have revealed themselves in Ikes Place, including the one ingredient slathered onto all of his sandwiches: his secret dirty sauce. The especially delicious mayonnaise-based spread is a variation of a sauce he invented by accident while still the manager of his supermarket business. A customer came in and they wanted me to make them garlic bread, but I didnt have the ingredients to make garlic bread I didnt have garlic, he said. And so we mixed this sauce. It was a little bit of every single spice we had in the deli. When he is not managing one of his eight Ikes Place locations, Shehadeh enjoys studying neuro-linguistic programming (a branch of psychotherapy), acupuncture, Chinese herbs and leadership. Wherever it is I perceive I have a weakness, I study that, he said. With two new Bay Area storefronts opened in the past two weeks, business is booming. But how far will Shehadeh take it? As long as theres a demand, theres going to be a next store; Im really taking it location by location, he said. And if it stops today, Id still feel blessed with a wonderful life.

schoolers. Despite Waldmans complaints, all students living in campus residences other than Mirrielees are required to purchase a
Stanford meal plan, costing from $1,583 to $1,774 for the 10-week summer session. With Arrillaga as one of the few dining options on campus, students are forced to put up with the crowded atmosphere. I usually try to come around 7:30 to avoid all of the kids, said Jon Riel M.S. 12. Although several dining halls are serving participants of sum-
mer conferences, Arrillaga accommodates an overwhelming amount of the summer program attendees. Ten programs are often scheduled to eat at Arrillaga in one 90-minute time window. As a result, there is little room for Stanfords students, who have few other places to eat. It was not this crazy during the school year. Now it is frustrat-

doing work in the area, mentorship is part of the job description itself. Alemar Brito 15 plans to pursue a career in education. He finds his community service work-study internship with Sequoia High School in Redwood City this summer well suited to that end. Among his several roles at Sequoia, Brito teaches leadership and English-language development classes for at-risk ninth graders and English-language learner (ELL) students, respectively. He also works for a program that helps motivate troublesome students. As one of his projects, Brito guides students in creating a documentary to help empower them through self-expression. He also heads resume and interview workshops for ELL students. [These students] have so much to offer, Brito said. [They have] experiences that many people do not have, but they feel that their lack of English skills hinders them from reaching their dreams. It is my job to help them realize they can do it. Britos family background has encouraged his passion for service work and his affinity for fostering close mentorship positions with underprivileged youth. I come from a family where helping those who cannot help themselves is emphasized more than anything else, Brito said. My experience so far has been amazing. This is not my first time teaching kids, but this is the first time I have [taught] material that I find to be extremely crucial to the students development and identity creation. These student mentees and mentors urge other Stanford students looking into research or internship positions in the area to take advantage of opportunities by scoping out best-fit on-campus research opportunities and internships. They also recommend fostering links with co-workers, who can often become close mentors or mentees. I would advise to be proactive and as dedicated as possible, Lee said.

Woods Institute funds interdisciplinary projects

The Woods Institute for the Environment awarded $833,000 in Environmental Venture Project (EVP) grants on June 25, adding to the $7.2 million total it has given to fund research projects since 2004. Grants are awarded to projects that seek to solve environmental and sustainability problems. What we want are proposals that are high risk, transformative and have the potential to produce solutions to major environmental challenges, said EVP program manager Kelly Dayton. This year, the faculty committee received 26 letters of intent that were narrowed down to 11 before an executive committee selected the final five projects to receive funding. Dayton said projects should also show intellectual merit, innovation and sizzle, the committees indicator of how exciting the research is and how it pushes the boundaries of science. The name of the game is interdisciplinary, said James Jones, senior fellow at the Woods Institute and co-chair of the EVP faculty committee. We have to have proposals that have a real sense of interdisciplinary approaches to environmental problems. . . . One requirement of the program is that you have two principal investigators from different departments. Ideally, they do really different things. According to Dayton, the program brings diverse faculties together, particularly those that have not collaborated before, and introduces new scholarly communities to the Woods Institute. Its really . . . to encourage the cross-pollination of the disciplines, Dayton said. Thats really where new discoveries are made; its not deep within a discipline, but at the intersection of disciplines. Neil Malhotra, associate professor at the Graduate School of
Business, was awarded a grant along with Michael Tomz, associate professor of political science, and Benoit Monin, professor of psychology. Their project on corporate responsibility seeks to determine whether environmental practices are profitable for corporations. We want to look at . . . different ways in which people interact with firms, Malhotra said. We want to see if corporate environmentalism is profitable and the conditions under which theyre possible. According to Malhotra, there has been an increasing amount of pressure on corporations to help the environment in the past few

decades, but corporations dont know what kind of impact environmental practices can have on the behavior of consumers. These environmental questions are important things for society to solve, he said, and it looks very unlikely that the government is going to be the way for these problems to be solved.

One of the gaps in ensuring public health and safety is being able to detect water quality very quickly, said Sindy Tang, assis-

ith the Summer Olympics set to begin July 27 in London, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has ruled that women with hyperandrogenism a condition in which the body produces excessively high levels of androgens, male hormones with performance-enhancing effects may be declared ineligible for competition. Prompted by several high-profile cases of gender ambiguity in international athletic competition among them the controversy surrounding South African middledistance runner Caster Semenya, the 2009 world champion at 800 meters who was later found to have unusually high levels of testosterone and both male and female organs the IOCs ruling has frustrated intersex activists who advocate for an identity-based, rather than biology-based, classification of athletes. People who identify as women, such advocates have suggested, ought to be allowed to compete as women, regardless of their physical characteristics. As Barbara King wrote at npr.org, Excluding athletes who have trained and competed as women from the Olympics on the basis of naturally occurring hormones in their blood inappropriately reduces athletic ability to hormone levels, and gender to biology. This type of argument makes some excellent points. First, the IOC ruling held that androgen levels falling into the male range might render hyperandrogenic female athletes ineligible. Androgens, however, occur naturally in both males and females, and just as some women are taller than some men, some women have higher androgen levels than some men. It is therefore unclear precisely why the term male
range should be used to describe androgen levels, any more than heights between 5-foot-8 and 6foot-5 should be called the male range. Furthermore, the ruling appears discriminatory on its face male athletes with abnormally high but naturally occurring levels of testosterone are not subject to expulsion from the Games. Why should women with abnormally high levels of androgens be subject to regulations while men with similarly unusual levels are not? But I ultimately disagree with the idea that gender classifications in competitive sport should be made on the basis of self-defined identity rather than biological indicators. Reasons unique to the nature of athletic competition dictate that we decide otherwise. First and most simply, there is a very important purpose for drawing lines yes, sometimes arbitrary and sometimes apparently irrational between men and women in the arena of sports that do not exist in society at large. That purpose is ensuring that women have a safe, productive and fruitful arena in which to compete on an equal playing field, just as men do. Completing the fight began with Title IX. Without a distinction between men and women on the playing field in other words, in a world in which the only deciding factor was absolute performance there would not be a single woman at the Olympics, and few in college or professional sports, today. If we accept the necessity of drawing some sort of line, it also follows that there will be some people hopefully as few as possible who fall unfairly on the wrong side of it, much as some teenagers are mature enough to drink at 17 and some 30-year-olds
Miles Unterreiner
are not, or some 15-year-olds are intelligent and well-informed enough to vote and some 50-yearolds are not. Our goal should therefore be minimizing the error zone of a clearly necessary line, not eliminating it altogether. Last, unlike matters of human rights or political equality, athletic competition is a zero-sum game. Gains for one at least in terms of places, medals and points, the primary indicators of Olympic success are necessarily made at the expense of another. If Athlete A wins gold, Athlete B by definition cannot. While allowing intersex or high-androgen individuals to, for example, participate fully in society, to vote and to hold jobs on the basis of their self-identity expands the pie of rights and abilities available to all, allowing intersex individuals with abnormally high levels of male hormones to compete as women unfairly disadvantages other women. Ultimately, changes to IOC policy should certainly be made. The science behind the logic needs updating, more thought should be given to defining a normal male range and the IOC should consider what to do with hyperandrogenic men. But that is insufficient reason to do away with the concept of a line between men and women in sports a line that works to the benefit of both women and the athletic world at large.

Chris Derrick has had a good run. The 2012 graduate received a degree in economics with a focus in law and has become one of the most decorated distance runners in Stanford history. But it wasnt always that way. Until high school, Derrick played basketball and baseball but found that his lack of ability left him at a dead end. Fearing that he wouldnt participate in any activities in high school, his parents forced him to take part in a cross-country summer camp. One practice later, he knew he had found his sport. He improved drastically throughout his high-school career at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Ill., to become the 2007 Gatorade National Boys Cross-Country Runner of the Year, the 2008 Nike Cross Nationals individual and team champion and the 2008 Illinois crosscountry state champion. Derrick broke the record for the high school-only 5,000 meters with a time of 13:55.96. Derrick solidified his place in Stanford lore with records of 13:19.58 in the indoor 5,000, 7:46.81 in the indoor 3,000 and 27:31.38 in the 10,000. Additionally, he is a 14-time All-American in cross-country and track and field,
a three-time NCAA runner-up and one of only six men to place in the top 10 at the NCAA Crosscountry Championship for four consecutive years. At the beginning of his final year at Stanford, he considered making the U.S. Olympic team as a possibility but never thought that he would get as close as he did. Derricks bid for a spot on the team soon became an attainable reality, as he ran two Olympic qualifying A times early in the season for the 5,000 and 10,000, at the Millrose Games in February and the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational in May, respectively. His 10,000 time of 27:31.38 made him a favorite to make the U.S. team, as it set an American collegiate record and was the fastest time run by an American going into the Olympic trials this season. Despite his early successes, Derricks hectic schedule as a graduating senior, coupled with a heavy running regimen and foot injury late in the season, began to wear on his performance. He finished his collegiate career running the 10,000 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on June 6 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa. He put up a fight with leaders Cam Levins and

As you watched your beloved stars announce their decisions to join teams that youve no doubt grown to hate with a violent passion, all you could do was shake your head in disbelief. Ray Allen to the Heat. Steve Nash to the Lakers. Even if youre not a Celtics or Suns fan, you still must have asked, How the hell did that happen? So how the hell did it happen? In June, Nash wasnt even sure that he would be leaving Phoenix. But on Independence Day, three days after Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak contacted Nash, the 38-year-old veteran point guards move to the City of Angels was finalized. A mere two days later, Allen agreed to a two-year, $6.3 million contract with the Heat, despite the fact that the Celtics offered twice as much. The sudden nature of these moves made them all the more baffling. Nash is joining a longstanding conference foe with which hes had a heated playoff history. Likewise, Allen is signing with a team that ended his NBA playoff run the past two seasons. And I cant be the only one who thinks that Allen in a Heat jersey doesnt even look right. Im not saying that the players should bear the blame. Every athlete wants to win. In terms of personal career moves, Allen and Nash both made good, if not great, decisions.

Floreal heads to University of Kentucky
Edrick Floreal resigned as the Stanford Franklin P. Johnson Director of Track and Field this past Monday to take over as the head coach of the University of Kentucky mens and womens cross-country and track and field teams. Floreal joined the Cardinal coaching staff in 1998 as the assistant coach and became the head coach in 2005. In his eight seasons at the helm, he was named MPSF Coach of the Year five times, the 2009 West Regional Indoor Coach of the Year and the 2006 West Regional Outdoor Coach of the Year. While Floreals coaching specialty is the hurdles, sprints and jumps, he has also been responsible for three Stanford womens NCAA cross-country running titles. In addition, the mens crosscountry team finished in the top five for three out of the past four years. Under his guidance, the mens and womens teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA championships seven times for both the outdoor and indoor seasons. He has also led 91 Cardinal AllAmericans, who have amassed a total of 197 national honors. During this past season, he coached senior Amaechi Morton, who won the 400-meter hurdles at both the NCAA and Pac12 championships.

NEVER UPON A TIME

he cruel truth about sports is that, unlike Hollywood blockbusters, there are rarely any fairy-tale endings. Hard work is often just that, with no deserved payoff, and the underdog is normally crushed by bigger and better opponents. Now, before I get accused by fans of Roger Federer of bias and bitterness because yes, I am talking about last Sundays Wimbledon final here I want to make this clear: Federer outplayed Andy Murray and deservingly won his record-equaling seventh Wimbledon title. There were no poor decisions or refereeing favoritism that led to the result. Federer won fair and square, no complaints. But Federers victory was no fairy-tale ending. A player who spent a hefty chunk of his life as world No. 1 regained his crown and etched his name once again in the history books. Yet a player who was the odds-on favorite to win this match not in the four sets it finally took, but in just three, cant be our Hollywood hero. Everyone has to start from the beginning, so when Federer first rose up the ATP rankings it must have felt like a dream to him. But
Schwarzmann hired as assistant coach for womens lacrosse

Former San Diego State womens lacrosse assistant coach Lauren Schwarzmann will be joining the Stanford coaching staff for the upcoming season, head coach Amy Bokker confirmed last Friday. Schwarzmann started her coaching career at Cincinnati, where she served as both the offensive coordinator and director of recruiting for the womens team. After three seasons with the Bearcats, she took on the role of assistant coach at San Diego State in the teams first year of existence. Schwarzmann helped the Aztecs finish their inaugural season with a 5-10 overall record and a 2-5 MPSF conference record. Schwarzmann will be splitting responsibilities with current assistant coach Brooke McKenzie, who has been part of Bokkers staff for the past three seasons.

Following the race, Levins highlighted Derricks success and apologized in an interview with Flotrack. Im sorry to Chris, Levins said. Its his last race; hes definitely the best collegiate to never win an NCAA title. Im sorry to have taken that away from him. I know he wanted it so badly. But Derricks loss didnt prevent him from trying to reach his ultimate goal. On the rainy evening of June 22, Derrick surged back to run the 10,000-meter final at the Olympic track and field trials at
those days are long gone. A record 17 Grand Slam titles and 286 weeks spent as world No. 1 later, many though not the modest Federer himself regard him as the greatest player of all time. Federer is undoubtedly a legend, but he is also clearly Goliath. Murray, meanwhile, is the perennial underdog, David. He has finished the last four years ranked No. 4 and been denied time and again in Grand Slam tournaments by the trio above him: Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Unfortunately for Murray, both of the other two Roger rivals have already done enough to be counted among the best of all time. Nadal has 11 Grand Slam titles and has spent 102 weeks at No. 1, and Djokovic has five and has held the top spot for 53 weeks. That being said, Federer is five years older than Murray, so the Scot can hope for a window of opportunity when the great Swiss player decides to hang up his racket. As for the other two, Nadal is just a year older, and Djokovic is actually a week younger. Should Murray ever walk away with the top prize from any of the worlds four Grand Slams, no one will be able to say didnt earn it. To do so, he will almost certainly have to find a way past one or more of the Big Three along the way. Not just in a regular match, but probably also in the final. The last 30 straight Grand Slam finals have featured at least one of the trio, and Murrays four losses at that stage have come against Djokovic and Federer.
A player who grew up in a tiny Scottish town under the cloud of an unspeakable tragedy (one of the United Kingdoms worstever gun crimes, in which 16 children and one adult were murdered, took place at his primary school while he attended class), Murray has been anything but a failure. He has won 22 singles titles, beating the entire top three in the process, been ranked as highly as No. 2 and become the first Brit to reach the final of Wimbledon since 1938. Through him, Dunblane has become known not for a tortured past, but as the hometown of probably the greatest British tennis player of all time. But Sundays final made it clear how fiercely his ambition burns, and that his success to date is not enough. Willed on by 60 million Brits, and especially by 8,000 old neighbors who see in his achievements a way to heal the wounds that still cut so deeply, he was brought to tears by the sheer emotion of it all. He has sometimes had a mixed relationship with British fans, but he surely won over those last hearts and minds with his passion and performance in the final. If Andy Murray wins a Grand Slam title, and especially if that title is Wimbledon, the spiritual home of tennis, maybe, just maybe well finally have our fairy-tale ending.

Stephen Sambu and stayed with the front of the pack with one lap to go but was outkicked mentally and physically, falling back as Levins and Sambu finished in 28:07.14 and 28:09.52, respectively. Derricks disappointing third-place finish with a time of 28:17.28 capped his streak of never winning an NCAA championship.
Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. I just wanted to do the type of race that would get me an A standard and go fast and hope that I would get in the top three, Derrick said. But I didnt run too differently from normal. I just stayed with the leaders as long as possible. The race began according to plan: He moved from the back of the pack to fifth and planned to battle it out with Matt Tegenkamp as they ran 5,000 meters together. With 10 laps to go, however, Tegenkamp picked up the pace and made a bid for third, creating a
gap that Derrick struggled to fill, as he finally came in fourth with a time of 27:40.23, behind Galen Rupp (27:25.33), Tegenkamp (27:33.94) and Dathan Ritzenhein (27:36.09). I felt like it was a pretty good race, given the chances at the end of a very long collegiate season, Derrick said. My body was pretty worn down and my foot was injured, but it was a good effort. It still was a bit of a lost opportunity, but Im not too disappointed. Despite not making the Olympic team and having an ag-
gravated foot injury that kept him out of the 5,000, Derrick remains optimistic. He is the main alternate for the U.S. team if any of the top three finishers are unable to compete at London, and he plans to go professional and get a sponsorship following this season. And the 21year-old has not given up on the Olympics yet. I plan to run and train and hopefully be around in another four, eight years, Derrick said. Contact Karen Feng at karenfeng.us @gmail.com.
REMEMBERING PETER SAUER

Stanfords fundamentally unselfish forward of the 90s led by example and set the tone for Cardinal basketballs golden era
By JOSEPH BEYDA
SUMMER MANAGING EDITOR
wo Arizona fans stood outside the McKale center, began an article in the Feb. 26, 1999 issue of The Stanford Daily, smoking their cigarettes during halftime of last months Cardinal-Wildcat basketball game. I just cant stand Stanford, one exclaimed to a friend. And I cant stand Peter Sauer. Sauers an asshole. When asked how he came to his colorful conclusion, a strange look a mix that showed he was both angered that such an inquiry was made and confused at trying to find the answer crossed his face. What do you mean? He just is! Look at him! Peter Sauer 99, 35, died on Sunday night when he collapsed due to an enlarged heart and hit his head on a concrete basketball court, fracturing his skull. A former Bank of America executive with a wife and three kids, Sauer led squads that featured some of Stanfords best scorers of all time: Brevin Knight, Arthur Lee, Kris Weems and Mark Madsen. Called quietly aggressive, smothering and a pest in that 1996 Daily article, Sauer managed to get under opposing crowds skin with his apparently laid-back demeanor and solid all-around play. Even his hair, straight off the head of Kramer from Seinfeld, was a source of annoyance. The student body really liked him though, because he was so scrappy, because he would get on other teams nerves, recalls Jim Tankersley 00, a former mens basketball columnist for The Daily and its Volume 215 Editor In Chief. The SixthMan Club loved guys who got on other teams nerves, and absolutely, Sauer. Sauer was never a top-three scorer, but he was a key part of teams that made four NCAA tournament appearances, reached the Final Four in 1998 and won the Cardinals first ever Pac-10 title its final season. The way his friends described him as a person, Tankersley said, was very similar to what his game was like: fundamentally unselfish. Both a small and power forward for the Cardinal, Sauer started 96 times over his final three seasons, including in each of his last 95 collegiate games, captaining the team in his junior and senior seasons. He was the heart and soul of our pro-
gram in terms of leadership and mentoring other players, said Madsen, a three-year teammate of Sauers, after his death. Pete was so well-loved. He was a leader among men and you know he cared about you. Sauers career truly began at the end of his freshman year, during the 1996 NCAA tournament. As Stanford lost a 79-74 heartbreaker against top-ranked Massachusetts, a clutch performer was born. Down by three points late in the game, Stanford needed a big perimeter shot to keep its season alive. Things went Sauer. Head coach Mike Montgomery knew that his sharpshooter would not get a clean look, reads the April 1, 1996 edition of The Daily. So the play went to the second option, freshman Peter Sauer fading back on the left wing to the three-point line. Wed been running that play a lot down the stretch for 10-15 footers, but we needed the three, Sauer said. That made it a lot harder a fade-away 20-footer. Sauer got a clean look at the basket but shot off-balance. The trajectory of the shot reflected its hurried nature, as the ball ricocheted hard off the glass and rim. I remember thinking at the time, Wow, a classmate of mine is taking this big shot really? remembers Ed Guzman 99, a Stanford freshman that year who is now the Sports Copy Chief at The Washington Post. He just kind of shook it off and kept going. Instead of crushing the young freshman, Sauers trial-by-fire reinforced a work ethic that would pay dividends several times over the next three years. The veterans all acknowledged that I played hard, and thats how we look at it in our program, Sauer said. If you play hard off the bench, youll get no words from the coach for not having shots fall. His days coming off the bench were shortlived, and the next time Stanfords postseason fate rested on Sauer, he wouldnt miss. Sauer quickly established himself as the 1997 Cardinals starting power forward, and the sophomore was a quiet spark plug in Pac-10 play; a week after Stanford had been swept by in-state rivals Cal, USC and UCLA, Sauer helped keep the Cardinal in the hunt for the conference title with a double-double against Oregon. Still a perfect 10-0 at home but on the bubble for the NCAA tournament, the Cardinal trailed a favored Arizona team at halftime of a must-win game. In a packed house of 7,391 at Maples Pavil-

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
ith the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select Andrew Luck, quarterback, Stanford... Luck strides across the Radio City Music Hall stage in a dark-blue suit and a tie with lilac and lavender stripes, his normally shaggy hair groomed for the occasion. He bear hugs the league commissioner and flashes a goofy smile for the rows of cameras. Back at Stanford, in the Rains apartment he shares with Luck, Griff Whalen is also beaming. Its early in the evening on Thursday, April 26, and Whalen has a math midterm at 7. He sits on a couch with Lucks girlfriend, anxiously reviewing his math notes while glancing at the 36-inch TV in the corner of their living room. Whalen has been roommates with Luck and David DeCastro, Stanfords All-American guard who would also be drafted in the first round, for the past three years. He doesnt want to leave before DeCastro is selected, but 7 oclock quickly approaches and he has a linear al-
gebra and vector calculus test to take. On this day, much more than their wardrobes and the 3,000 miles between Palo Alto and Manhattan separate Whalen from his best friend. For Luck, and even for DeCastro, the draft is both a coronation of a blue-chip college career and the road to riches. For Whalen, who has been advised that hes a late-round pick at best, it is a reminder that life after football could come sooner than hed prefer. It was pretty awesome to see one of my best friends up there, he recalls. It wasnt a surprise, but at the same time, I dont think that diminished it at all. Two days later, Luck is back in their Rains apartment. Hes eager to see where Whalen will end up. The quarterback sits alone because his favorite receiver, the quiet senior from Sylvania, Ohio, is holed up with family in a nearby hotel room. Back in the Palo Alto hotel room with his family, Whalen watches as the draft passes and eventually realizes he will be an undrafted player. After switching positions twice before his freshman season began and fighting his way to both a scholarship and a starting spot, Whalen
will have to again fight for a spot. Minutes after the draft ends, the Colts call to offer him a chance to reunite with Luck and Stanford tight end Coby Fleener. Other teams call, but he has made up his mind. We talked to each other every couple hours, just texting to see if hed heard anything, Luck says. I knew if he wasnt drafted, I definitely wanted him in Indianapolis, so Im glad it worked out...to have Griff sign with them as well, that was special. Under NFL rules, players still taking classes cannot participate in the 10-day organized team activities (OTAs). For the Colts, that means Luck, Whalen and Ohio wide receiver LaVon Brazill need to stay away. For Whalen, it does not bode well that he is missing one of the rare opportunities to make an impression on coaches. However, he has a major advantage over the other wide receivers. While theyre playing catch with less-heralded quarterbacks in Indianapolis, Whalen will be working out with Luck at Stanford. On an unusually windy Friday morning, three weeks after rookie minicamp, Whalen meets up with Luck and cornerback Johnson
Bademosi, who recently signed with the Cleveland Browns, on an empty practice field on campus. Their classmates are busy in class, in the library or sleeping in after Thursdays senior pub night. They all don Stanford gear, except for Lucks white Colts hat. Fleener and Luck play catch and joke as they warm up. Whalen stretches and runs quick sprints nearby with a scowl-like focus. Luck warms up more by throwing routes to Whalen and Bademosi. Several balls sail past Bademosi or miss him; on every throw the ball seems to drop into Whalens hands perfectly. Only one throw appears a bit off target. Whalen extends his right hand and pulls it in easily. Its like one and one, Bademosi says, talking about Whalen and Lucks chemistry. Aw, dont come too flat, Luck grimaces after he and Whalen miss for the first time of the day. Weve gotta do that again. They practice the route three more times before moving on. Fleener and Luck tower over Whalen as

second-seeded Marion Bartoli (No. 10 in the world) Thursday. Both were also selected to play in the doubles draw against third-seeded team Natalie Grandin and Vladimira Uhlirova on Wednesday afternoon. At 3:25 p.m., Gibbs and defending champion Serena Williams, fresh off her fifth Wimbledon title this past Saturday, walked onto the Taube Family Tennis Stadium hardcourts to thunderous applause. Williams easily took a 4-0 lead in the first set with her signature powerful serves and groundstrokes, but Gibbs held on to take a game from Williams to move the set to 4-1 as the crowd roared. Williams took the next game, but then two straight errors by the favorite made it 5-2. There were cheers of Go Gibbsy!
as groups of Stanford fans were refueled by Gibbss potential comeback. One more back-and-forth game closed the first set 6-2 in favor of Williams. In the second set, Williams took five straight games as Gibbs struggled against her power and started making unforced errors near the end of games. In a dramatic sixth game served by Williams, Gibbs took the lead 40-15 and almost lost it as a frustrated and rejuvenated Williams took the advantage. Two unforced errors, however, gave Gibbs her first break of the match. A final Williams-dominated game earned her a 6-1 victory. Both sets took 62 minutes. At the post-game press conference, Williams seemed impressed. Its good to see promising young American players coming up, Williams said. Shes a fighter, and thats important. Gibbs moved on after her loss to compete in the doubles match with
Burdette at 5:40 p.m. on Court 6. The first set featured extremely close games, with the teams tied at 66. The tiebreaker, too, was tied at 33 until Grandin and Uhlirova made a break for it, leading 6-3 and eventually winning it 7-5. The second set featured an early 2-0 lead by Burdette and Gibbs, though they would eventually give back ground as Grandin and Uhlirova pulled up to tie the set at 3-3. Three straight games by Burdette and Gibbs gave them the second set 6-3, evening the match and sending it to a decisive final set. The third set was dominated by Grandin and Uhlirova, who won the deciding set 10-6, defeating the Cardinal duo 7-6(5), 3-6, 10-6. Burdette will face the No. 2 seed of the tournament, Marion Bartoli, this afternoon in the singles draw at the Taube Family Tennis Stadium. Contact Karen Feng at karenfeng. us@gmail.com.

Avery Bradley and newly signed Jason Terry for playing time, not to mention rumors of his deteriorating relationship with Rajon Rondo. For Nash, it was about putting himself in the best position to win a championship while staying close to his family. Both Allen and Nash wanted to add at least one more championship to their already illustrious careers. The two veterans followed the old saying to the letter: If you cant beat em, join em. If you cant really blame the players, then that leaves the league to be the scapegoat for allowing these kinds of trades and signings to happen in the first place. Add that to the already endless list of things you hate about the NBA. But as it turns out, the NBA isnt only the professional sports league thats seen its fair share of eye-popping trades and signings. In the NFL, we saw Brett Favre going from the Packers to the Vikings. In the MLB, it was Johnny Damon from the Red Sox to the Yankees. In the NHL, it was Eric Lindros from the Flyers to the Rangers. In the eyes of devastated fans, those players were sports traitors. Well, they probably were. But the fact that these athletes were even allowed to jump from one rival team to another is a testament to how some professional leagues can be excruciating to follow. And thats why college sports, for me at least, will always be infinitely better to watch and follow than professional sports. In the pros, its never safe for fans to get too attached to any player. At any given moment, the star player on your favorite team could sign with or be traded to an archrival. Only a few franchise players are somewhat immune. Kobe Bryant would probably rather pass the ball than be shipped to the Celtics. Derek Jeter would probably rather retire than wear a Red Sox hat. Tom Brady would probably rather lose both Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker than play for Rex Ryan. But you cant say for sure that even those transactions cant ever

they circle up in a miniature huddle to discuss a play. Luck takes a snap and drops back. Whalen comes out of his stance hard, breaks crisply and sprints past Bademosi, snagging the perfect ball out of the air. Did you think I couldve gone like one deeper or was that good? he says, panting as he jogs back. No, I liked that, Luck responds. The three discuss Colts practices, which Fleener can attend, but Luck and Whalen are relegated to watching on tape. Whos done with school? Fleener mocks, raising his hand and looking at Luck and Whalen. Luck and Fleener joke between plays. Whalen barely speaks if it isnt about a route or play. That was perfect, Luck says after a throw to Fleener. Thats what she said, Fleener retorts. Whalen and Luck had a whirlwind end to their Stanford careers finishing finals on June 8, flying to Indianapolis for a week of minicamp, flying back to Stanford for
commencement and then flying right back to Indianapolis for more minicamp. Luck, DeCastro and Whalen leave behind three years of living together, and four of competing and taking classes. The casual observer will notice that they leave Stanford with three straight bowl appearances, two BCS bowls and a #4 ranking in their senior season. But they also leave behind a host of memories not seen by the public: the football teams ultra-competitive soccer games with the national champion womens soccer team, swimming in the Luck familys nearby pool and cracking jokes in the California sunshine and eating casual dinners with fellow senior and pro golfer Michelle Wie. Lucks immediate future is clearcut. Hell be trying to step into the shoes of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Peyton Manning. Whalens future is much more tenuous. He moves to a new city fighting to earn a job. And if that doesnt work out, hell look for opportunities outside of football. Theres so many different things you can do with product design, Whalen says. Stuff in the engineering field is changing so quickly, things that were relevant four years ago are no longer relevant at all. Whatever I might be doing might not even exist right now.
The Colts current roster stands at 85 players and needs to be pared down to 53 by the end of preseason, in late August. Most of the 15 undrafted free agents will be cut. Whalen is one of 10 receivers on the list; most teams only take six, maybe seven into the season. He will have to impress on special teams and outwork other rookies and journeyman receivers to make the roster. Luck isnt the type of person to use his clout to suggest Colts management give Whalen a spot. Whalen isnt the kind to ask for a helping hand.

happen. After all, most Packers fans believed that Favre would end his career on Lambeau Field after being at Green Bay for 16 seasons, but they got a slap in the face two years later when Favre reappeared in a purple uniform. In college, theres no such thing as quitting one team to join a Big Three or any kind of dream team. When Andrew Luck came back last season, he didnt transfer to Oklahoma State so that he would have Justin Blackmon to throw to. He came back to play with his teammates and made the best of what he had. And if the end result was losing to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, then so be it. Its easy to take that kind of loyalty in college athletics for granted, but that doesnt mean its not there. Loyalty is what defines college sports. Its true that many college athletes will go pro before playing out their four years. But if they do elect to return, its with the same teams. Transfers certainly happen, but theyre nowhere near as prolific as the trades that occur in the pros. Most college athletes will never win a national championship, but they still stick it out at their schools. Theyd rather go down fighting with their teammates than find a shortcut to winning. As a fan, you have to respect that. And the appreciation that you develop for college athletes goes far beyond their college careers. Im a Boston sports fan, which means that Im never going to like the Colts. But when Andrew Luck takes the field against the Pats in November, Ill still root for him. As for Ray Allen, Ill always respect him, but I certainly wont be cheering him on when the Celtics and the Heat meet next year. Theres no loyalty in sports, Nash told ESPN in an interview explaining how he came to sign with the Lakers. Nash could very well make it to the NBA Finals with Kobe next season, but that wont mean what he said was correct. In professional sports, loyalty might be non-existent. But in college sports, loyalty is everything. George Chen better not be questioning his loyalty to The Stanford Daily. Make sure he stays put at gchen15@stanford.edu.
SAUER

ion, Tankersley, a freshman at the time, took in the action from an overflow student section behind one of the baskets. That Arizona team was really good, he recalled of the No. 12 Wildcats. They were better than us. They were more athletic, they made more shots, but Brevin he was Brevin, and he got up for big games. I remember it being very backand-forth, and being like no sporting event I had ever attended. I mean, just the tension was enormous. Every possession, from about midway through the second half, it felt like the game depended on it, which is pretty amazing for a regular-season game. With Stanford down by two points in the final moments, it was time for Sauers redemption. Its not often that a college basketball player gets a chance to play hero by making the last-minute shot in a big game, began The Dailys March 7, 1997 recap. For Stanford sophomore Peter Sauer, its already happened twice. The last play, you could feel it, everyone in the building expected Brevin to take that shot everyone, Tankersley remembered. And he drove, and they collapsed on him . . . he did the exact right thing for a point guard. He found Sauer, and Sauer was wide freaking open. We knew, as soon as he caught the ball, not even when he shot but as soon as he caught it, that it was going in. Last night, Sauer got a second chance, the story continued, and this time the 6-foot-7 forward delivered. Ive been thinking about that ever since that happened, Sauer said of his missed shot against UMasss. So its nice to get one in. Sauers shot was merely the finishing touch to one of the most thrilling games in Maples Pavilion history. I remember being on the court bouncing up and down, Tankersley said, and feeling like I had never jumped higher in my life, because everybodys going and the floor was really, really springy. The players were just elated and bouncing
around, and it was the first time you really thought, You know, these guys could have a run in them. The Cardinal made it to the Sweet Sixteen that year behind two late Sauer jumpers in a 72-66 win over Wake Forest, but its tournament ended in overtime against Utah. Probably the Sweet Sixteen wouldnt have happened without that Sauer shot, Guzman said of the Arizona game. That seems hyperbolic, but I really believe that, because that was a huge stepping stone to what they would go on and become. The Final Four run wouldnt have happened [either], he added. But even the Final Four run would have its roots in a disappointing, second-place conference finish. Sauer, ever in the background, was one of the Cardinals most reliable options as a junior. That year, Stanford was unexpectedly riding a school-record 18game winning streak without the graduated Knight when Arizona rolled back into Maples Pavilion for a huge, top-10 tilt. Sauers 23 points against the Wildcats were a career best, but the undefeated Cardinal let things slip away in the second half and was embarrassed at home, 9375. Overshadowed by Lee and Madsen, Sauers performance wasnt even mentioned in The Dailys recap of that game until its second-to-last paragraph. (Tankersley and Guzman were the two sports editors that night.) It almost feels like a relic of college basketball right now, because you dont think of a lot of teams that are like this today, but what made those teams work well was that they had some really well-defined role players, Tankersley said. Sauer was just there leading the team, giving them energy, doing all the little things. Everybody had these great roles and as a captain, he sort of was the orchestrator of a lot of those roles. His absence from the limelight was explored later that year in a feature by Cardinal Today, a game-day program published by The Daily. If you remember him only as the man who sank the game-winning shot against Arizona last season, youve missed quite a bit, opened the article. Junior forward Peter Sauers
contributions to Stanfords success [are] substantial, but his actual value to the team may escape the notice of the average fan. . . . Hes very vocal hes a leader, said junior guard Arthur Lee. If he sees someone on the team that needs encouragement, hell go up to the guy and give him all the encouragement he needs. Guzman, The Dailys Head Sports Managing Editor at the time, happened to be rooming with senior center Tim Young in Roble Hall that year. Tim really kind of deferred to Pete Sauer, Guzman said. [Sauer would] always come to our room and was checking in on Tim and seeing how he was doing. To me, that spoke volumes about his leadership abilities, that even guys who were slightly older than him were willing to turn to him and look to him to set that tone for the team as a whole. Sauers on-the-court intensity translated into his best collegiate season, as he went on to average 9.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a junior. But despite the Cardinals 15-3 finish in Pac-10 play, 17-1 Arizona grabbed the crown and extended Stanfords conference-title drought to 35 seasons. Despite the Pac-10 disappointment, the Cardinal still earned a three-seed in the 1998 tournament and was poised for one of the best postseason runs in school history. Along the way [through the NCAA tournament], the March 11 Cardinal Today story concluded, the Card can expect some close games, and some wonder who will have the ball if Stanford needs the bucket in crunch time. I definitely feel comfortable in that situation, Sauer said. Im willing and ready to take that shot. Its not like he hasnt done it before. Sauer only played for about a half in each of the teams five tournament games. In St. Louis where Sauers dad Mark worked as an executive with the Blues hockey organization he watched from the bench as Stanford grabbed an emotional Elite Eight win over Rhode Island thanks to a late-game slam dunk, and-one, by Madsen, clinching the Cardinals only Final Four berth since its 1942 national title. Sauer injured his knee the next week in practice, just four days be-
fore the looming semifinal against Kentucky, forcing him to join the team in San Antonio late. After an MRI and a fitting for a brace, Sauer still made the start. Down four in overtime, Sauer sunk a long three-pointer with 9.2 seconds cut Stanfords deficit to one, 86-85. The Cardinal was forced to foul and the Wildcats Wayne Turner missed both shots. Sauer grabbed the rebound, but with just two seconds to work with he could only launch a long heave at the buzzer. It went wide right. Just give us five more seconds, he said after the game. Thats all I was asking for. He really kind of brought an air of optimism to the team and to the school , Guzman said. The point he was trying to make was, you know, we more or less left it all on the floor there, and yeah, it hurts, but well be alright. Ill always remember seeing this picture in Stanford Magazine not too long after the Final Four run, Guzman recalled. Sauer had his arms around Art Lee, I think, as theyre walking off the floor after what to me was just an agonizing one-point overtime loss. But hes smiling. And it was like, Wow, that just shows you the difference between him and most of the rest of us who are just fans. Undeterred, the Cardinal set its sights back on the Pac-10 title for the 1998-9 season, Sauers second as a small forward. Though he would reach double figures 14 times as a senior, Sauer continued to embrace his standing as a role player on a team stacked with offensive talent. On Jan. 12, The Daily named Sauer one of its two Athletes of the Week after a 7162 win over Cal and not just because of his 13 points in that game. More importantly, the graphic read, his solid defense and allaround hustle kept the Cardinal in the game when the starting guards struggled from the perimeter in the first half. That was the role Sauer carved out for himself, always hustling, playing for the team and not for himself. Fundamentally unselfish. Following a series of victories that year, the Cardinal faced the fearsome Wildcats at Maples Pavilion on Feb. 28, another chapter in that heated rivalry. The Cardinal
was just a win away from clinching its first outright conference championship in 57 years. It was probably the one time in my life I scalped tickets, Guzman said. Coming off that Final Four year, tickets were impossible. It was the hot ticket. The thing that I remember for that game was just how loud it got for all the pregame stuff, for all the ovations, he added. They were just drowning out the PA announcer . . . My ears were ringing for quite a while after that game. No. 6 Stanford grabbed a 20point lead in the first half and never looked back, dominating its No. 7 foes 98-83. All four of the original members of the Stanford basketball Class of 1999 stood heroically on the Maples hardwood, reported The Daily on March 1, and watched the scoreboard clock tick to zeroes for the last time. . . . Sauer was the first to jump on top of the scorers table, an island in the seas of humanity that spilled onto the floor. Sauers Stanford career, like his life, would come to an end far too early. The second-seeded Cardinal eased by Alcorn State in the first round of the tournament but was upset by 10th-seeded Gonzaga, which never trailed after erasing Stanfords early 1-0 lead. Though the Cardinal climbed to within four points at the half on a phenomenal basket by Peter Sauer as time expired, as the March 29 recap in The Daily read, it was simply not meant to be for Stanford that year. Peter Sauer formed a huddle at half court with Lee and Weems. He didnt want to let go just yet. There was time for one last memory albeit a painful one. I really cant believe this is all over now, Sauer said in the locker room after the game. What makes this all so fun is the relationships with these guys. The good times on the road trips, the chemistry we had off the court and all the times we hung out . . . that is what I will always remember. It seems impossible that I just took that jersey off for the last time. Contact Joseph Beyda at jbeyda@ stanford.edu.

R&B singer Frank Ocean performs at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif.
rank Ocean is 24 years old. Its easy to forget this given that he has written for Beyonc, sung on Watch The Throne and released the most important and critically acclaimed mixtape of 2011. The
youthful ambition of channel ORANGE, however, gives him away. Its bold, both musically and thematically, and the enthusiasm with which Ocean throws himself into each of his songs sometimes in vain is a point-
ed reminder that this long-awaited album is a debut, albeit an excellent one. After the opening track, Start, which contains a smattering of the household and electronic noises that Ocean is
already known for, channel presents a revamped Thinkin Bout You. Whereas Oceans stripped-down, Tumblr-released demo echoed the conversational sprezzatura of the lyrics, the album version, complete with multi-tracked vocals and an echoed drumbeat, sounds almost over-thought. After the bedroom slow jam Sierra Leone, Ocean toys with the idea of disillusionment on Sweet Life, a Pharrell Williams co-write that shows just what upscale production can do. Complete with The Neptunesstyle instrumentation, Sweet Life is smart and crisp. Why see the world / When youve got the beach? Ocean asks as he fleshes out the question of privilege, setting the stage for Super Rich Kids, a standout track featuring Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future, the hip-hop collective of which Ocean is also a member. The combination of Oceans silky vocals and Earls spot-on matter-of-factness (Too many
bottles of this wine we cant pronounce) captures the voices of jaded Los Angeles youth. Ocean gets ahead of himself with Pilot Jones and Crack Rock, the most overtly topical songs on the album. Tired tropes such as My brother get popped / And dont no one hear the sound are unnatural coming from Ocean; his songwriting strength lies in moments, not generalities. Pyramids serves as the centerpiece of the album. Clocking in at 10 minutes, Pyramids is an epic in three parts, showcasing Oceans lyrical talents as he tells the story of Cleopatra and her modern-day counterpart, beautifully juxtaposing images of opulence and poverty. The second half of the album is much smoother: From the summery Lost to the sensuous White, Ocean packs his tracks with small yet exquisite | SAILING continued on page 13 | THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

here comes a point in every post-breakup ritual when a girl gets angry, changes her hair color and becomes vocal about vengeance. During an era of Adele withdrawals, Marina and the Diamonds second album, Electra Heart, and I met at this particular intersection. Together, weve survived botched pixie cuts, peroxide-blonde dye jobs, the transition from student to unemployment and a bevy of Mr. Not-So-Rights. The concept album Electra Heart summons Marinas alter ego a shadow sister called Electra Heart who has chopped and screwed her long dark locks for a Madonna-like hairstyle and sound. No longer the quirky alterna-girl who asked, Why would you want to be a Hollywood wife? in her 2010 single Hollywood, the new Marina has assumed the caricature of housewife, beauty queen, home-wrecker, idle teen, but she does so as a sacrificial model to the wreckage of male expectations. In her opening track, Bubblegum Bitch, Marina welcomes you to the life of Electra Heart in true power-punk fashion, with an upbeat tempo and diabetic-sweet lyrics like Candy vest, sweetie pie, wanna be adored / Im the girl you die for. However, her lemonade lyrics arent without bite, as she follows that stanza with lyrics on the reality of an unhealthy love: I chew you up and I spit you out / Cause thats what your love is all about. The insatiable lead single Primadonna follows with an orchestra of the disco-house beat and synth that overpopulates radio today, but she revamps it to create a more original, operatic sound la CONTINUED FROM SAILING PAGE 12 surprises. Monks explores the higher end of Oceans vocal register, drawing inevitable Stevie Wonder comparisons, while Pink Matter pairs soulful contemplation with an excellent guest verse from Andr 3000. Where Crack Rock fails, Bad Religion succeeds. Ocean tackles the issues of religion and self-discovery through the creation of a nuanced, sympathetic character on a wonderfully bare track. Bad Religion threatens to erupt into spectacle several times but holds back, exposing a rare vulnerability in the vocals. Frank Ocean is credited on his album as a musician, vocalist and producer, but above all, Ocean emerges from channel ORANGE as a storyteller. His name is absent from the album cover, indicative of his approach and dedication to his craft. Channel ORANGE deserves to be attended to with the lyrics sheet in hand. And best of all, Frank Ocean is only 24, promising to be around for years to come. natasha AVERY

Florence Welch. Essentially, this homage to highmaintenance diva status doesnt make me want to duct-tape my ears shut like Lana del Rey does with her melancholy belting. For those unable to translate my hyperboles, Primadonna is pretty great as far as generic catchy singles go. Radioactive has a similar synth and house vibe, but with a more powerful urgency to remove pleasantries and approach darker sentiments without the satirical guise. She confronts her ex-lovers duplicity with an accusatory directness: In the night your heart is full / And by the morning empty / Well baby, Im the one who left you, youre not the one who left me. If that isnt a scorned womans anthem, then Alanis Morissette has always been lucky in love. (Hint: she hasnt been.) Both self-destructive and fiercely honest, Electra Heart is a dialogue of the post-breakup rage and man-sanity that has inspired testaments of talent throughout music history (Joan Jett, the godmother of punk, would not approve of this kind of blasphemy). If this hyperbole seems overwrought with fan-girl worship, Marina and the Diamonds Electra Heart can at least be designated as a great soundtrack for exboyfriend effigy burning, mixed martial arts training and target practice.

LIFESTYLE
Tea parties at Yale with Ludacris, and how Stanford and Hogwarts dont mix
friend groups and attractiveness to determine the relationships and/or hierarchy, but it doesnt always work. In high school that phenomenon helped out a kid in my year named Tom, who, though awkward and dweebish to most of my grade, was empirically fit and so was desired by many a younger lady and even the occasional lad. And yet the most pressing example of this phenomenon, the faulty advertising, is what occurs when I try to understand schools other than Stanford. Because I never wanted to go anywhere else, I never really considered what it would be like to go there, the one exception being that when I pictured myself at Yale, I was always wearing a constricting blue V-neck with accent-white stripe and giant Y, sometimes in reverse colors, seated Indian-style in a crowded college at the feet of Ludacris and an anonymous white male moderator while we all threw our heads back in laughter and sipped tea from fine china. This fantasy/expectation is the direct result of a Yale tour group in which the guide described a recent visit from Luda to a tea party which he concluded by saying, and I quote, Ludacris loves Yale. This savory admissions nugget would go on to be my mothers key ammunition to try to convince me to go to Yale. If nothing else, let that seemingly tangential anecdote illustrate how easily distorted are the workings of university marketing. Aha! Aristotelian I am! Now, being away from Stanford and in the thick of things at UCLAs unofficial campus, Westwood, combined with the fact that Im an Alabama native and know only Alabama (good) and Auburn (evil), Im confronted with the difficulty of understanding anything about other universities.

tanford is the only school I ever wanted to go to before I knew it was hard to get in to, before I knew it was even a good school. I just thought it was cute. Like most things in life, I was attracted to the packaging. Call me shallow but it worked out, amirite? I have this theory that unless youre in a market, its really hard to gauge the pragmatic dynamics within it. For me one of these foreign markets is alcohol. You see, I dont drink, and Ive realized only in recent months I may never fully understand the brand value of most alcoholic beverages. I thought Smirnoff was good but apparently its the Pontiac of vodka. I
was fooled by all the Mad Men integrations. This isnt terribly sad, save for the reality that when my friend Paco says Delta Dude* is the Popov of fraternities, I have to phone a friend or Google it to decipher any meaning. But markets dont exclusively refer to products. Take, for example, the popularity matrix of a grade above or below you in school. You can try to use heuristics like

n the past few years, Zac Brown Band has been best known for its sad but touching acoustic singles that consistently achieve the top spot on the Billboard country charts. However, its latest album, Uncaged, connects more with the bands roots: relaxed and upbeat music that brightens the soul. Browns fifth album, Uncaged, released on July 10 by Atlantic Records, Home Grown and Bigger Picture, reveals an almost tropical side of the traditional western country artist. While all the songs ooze this relaxed mood, the one song that fully exudes it is Island Song. As the songs name implies, the lyrics concentrate mostly on relaxing at a beach

with music, drinks and dance. By exaggerating the rs in rum and using a ukulele in place of a guitar, its easy to imagine relaxing on a beach in a hammock while a nearby band plays this light, upbeat song. Despite displaying this new style, the band stays close to its western roots with its lead single The Wind. A fast, upbeat love song, The Wind contrasts with the bands past hit singles, which focused more on the tragedies of life. It serves as a good example of Zac Brown Bands ability to convey any mood through song, whether its depression or jubilation. The one fault in this almostperfect country album is the third song on the album, Goodbye In Her Eyes. Not

Jimmy De Martini on fiddle, Clay Cook and Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band perform at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, N.C. only is it reminiscent of almost every other country break-up song, but the song also drags on far too long to capture the shortterm interest of todays audience. It repeats the line I saw goodbye in her eyes enough to make someone never want to hear those words again. However, in all, Zac Brown Band has released yet another solid record that is sure to put many more No. 1 country singles under this bands belt. margaret LIN

CONTINUED FROM ANGELES PAGE 14 how good the schools are, how smart their students are, how much respect they command from employers and whether or not their students are known for depression-tier stress levels during finals (MIT) or their parents George-W.-tier religious beliefs and contracted maids (Pepperdine). THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012 Applying my conceptions of brands in other markets often helps, because a blacked-out M6 is so the Batman of cars, right? But the obvious ones for this scholastic conundrum Hogwarts houses only go so far. I used to think Ravenclaw, the house of smart, sharptongued students, would be Yale; the amiable dorks of Hufflepuff would be Brown (dork equals indie in these, our modern times) and Dartmouth, with Slytherin being the Princetons and Columbias of the world. But if that leaves Harvard as Gryffindor good alumni and PR what does that make Stanford? Obviously different than all of those, and by most standards better. Its not really fitting. I suppose thats the other side of the coin of the blessing it is to go to Stanford: that, for at least the four to five years Im here, its the only thing Ill know. Which is fine by me, because if Stanford is the Harry Potter of young-adult-targeted, adultadopted book series, then Cal is so Twilight. *Fraternity names have been changed. sasha ARIJANTO

tant professor at the School of Engineering and the projects principal investigator. If you have to take 24 hours, people will have died or at least gotten very sick before the lab [results] will tell you that the [water] is actually dirty. The process shes developing uses a technology called microfluidics, the manipulation of fluids at the micro scale. Rather than test a liter of water for the presence of a few bacteria, Tang will break up a sample into millions of nanolitersized droplets. Only then will she add an indicator, which changes color based on the concentration of bacteria. Because she will be testing a much smaller volume of water, bacteria concentration will be higher and the indicator will change color far more quickly. Both Malhotra and Tang hope their research will have important environmental impact. Malhotra plans on sharing his research with corporations, and Tang hopes her technology can be put in place as soon as possible in water-scarce areas. Other grant recipients include Craig Criddle, a civil and environmental engineering professor, and his colleagues at the School of Engineering Oliver Fringer and Elizabeth Sattely.
