The mass spectrometer,a machine previ-ously used to detect metal contamination incircuits and minerals, can be used to exam-ine the identity and behaviors of individualcells, Stanford researchers demonstrate inthis week’s Science magazine.

The ability of the new procedure to iden-tify more characteristics of each cell at once

comes as a majorbreakthrough to immunologists, stem cellresearchers and cancer scientists alike.

“Suddenly we go from seeing 10-15 pa-rameters up to 30-100,” said Garry Nolan,professor of microbiology and immunology,whose lab did the research on this project.

He described this development as “aquantum leap” that allows scientists to

STUDENT LIFE

Class of 2011 aimsto break all-timeSenior Gift record

By IVY NGUYENDESK EDITOR

With one month left before graduation, the class of 2011 has reached a 10-year record of participation in Se-nior Gift donations and is on track to beat Stanford’s all-time participation record.The Senior Gift is a student-driven initiative intended to raise money to fund finan-cial aid and other undergraduate programs.

Currently,the campaign counts nearly 60 percent par-ticipation and aims to break the all-time record of 78percent.

“This is exceptional progress . . . It’s difficult to doanything new or unprecedented at Stanford, and this is away that Stanford’s class of 2011 can leave as a record-breaking class,” wrote Alli Brian, assistant director of student and young alumni development, in an email toThe Daily.

“Participating in Senior Gift is a way for seniors tosend a message that Stanford was an important time in

their lives and an opportunity to leave something behindas they get ready to leave,”Brian said in an interview.

Because the campaign aims to reach maximum par-ticipation, there is no minimum donation required.This

Net neutrality theorist Tim Wu spokeMonday afternoon at a talk hosted by theCenter for Internet and Society. He dis-cussed the threat of the Internet being runby one giant corporation,as has been thecase with other information industries inthe course of American history.

Wu is currently on leave from his pro-fessorship at Columbia Law School to

serve as a senior advisor at the FederalTrade Commission in Washington,D.C.In his lecture,held atthe Law School, he explored a topic presented in his book,“The Master Switch.”

“Is the problem of the recurring monopoly destined to bethe fate of the Internet as well?”Wu asked the audience of students,Silicon Valley software engineers and professors.

Wu also pondered whether the Internet could be ruled byone “corporate leviathan”in possession of the master switch.

To address these questions, he drew from the history of the radio,telephone,television and film industries and a the-ory of a three-phase cycle that repeats itself across industries.

According to this theory,a disruptive invention improvesand replaces existing technologies approximately every 20years. Next, there is period of openness characterized bywide experimentation with the new technology’s capabilitiesand limitations. Finally, there is the consolidation phase, inwhich key players force out competition and monopolize theindustry.

“We can learn so much from looking back at the way in-dustries have consolidated over time,”said law school lectur-er Anthony Falzone,executive director of the Fair Use Pro-

ject. “We have the same concerns in the present with howthings were in the past.”

Wu said the Internet has gone through the first phase of invention,and is now either in the second phase of open ex-perimentation or the beginning of the third phase of consol-idation. He cited Facebook, Google and Twitter as possibleexamples of consolidation.

One problem with consolidation and monopolies, Wunoted,is that the industry gets stuck in a state of lack of inno-vation.

“You want companies to be overtaken if something bet-ter arises,”he said.

He referred to the case of Hosni Mubarak, the recentlyousted president of Egypt,saying that if a company gains toomuch power,it may become erratic and abusive.

“You want them to be a little insecure so that the compa-ny is always cautious,”he said.

If barriers to entry are too high,better services and prod-ucts cannot emerge.

First year law school student Christian Geib,who attend-ed the talk,thought this was already a problem.“To get any traction on a new project you must go

through a big, established company like Google or Face-book,”he said.

School board votes on

calendar today By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

The Palo Alto Unified SchoolDistrict (PAUSD) Board of Educa-tion will vote today on a proposedchange to the district calendar.If ap-proved, the measure would kick off the 2012-13 academic year Aug. 16,12 days in advance of the currentAug. 28 start date.

In recent months, school officialshave called for a reform of the schoolcalendar; their main push is to wrapup the first semester before winterbreak.The early start proposal goeshand in hand with a Dec.21 semesterend date,rather than the current Jan.24 end date.The school year wouldconclude May 30 under the proposal.

The debate over calendarchanges has sparked numerous dis-cussions in the local community.School of Education senior lecturerDenise Clark Pope is among the pro-ponents of the change.

Pope, co-founder of ChallengeSuccess, argued that a student’sschedule has a significant impact onstress levels.Daily school hours andthe number of breaks count morethan people think, according toPope.

Though the course of the pastmonths, the PAUSD staff solicitedfeedback on the calendar reformfrom various entities. In addition tomeeting with high school depart-ments, the district also issued a sur-vey to its teachers, parents and stu-dents.

‘Outsourced’actor speaks at CrothersBy ELLORA ISRANI

SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Rizwan Manji, star of NBC’s hit tele-vision series “Outsourced,” spoke lastnight at the Crothers Memorial Loungeabout “life,acting and what it is like to bea South Asian Muslim in Hollywood.”

The show follows the life of an Amer-ican call center manager whose job isoutsourced to Bombay, India. Manjiplays the manager’s scheming assistantmanager,Rajeev. During his talk,actressAneesh Sheth,who guest stars in the lasttwo episodes of the season, joined him.They began with a Q&A session withElahe Popat ‘13 and then responded toquestions from a largely South Asian au-dience.

Manji began by discussing his child-hood in Canada, his “horrendous ac-

cent” and his decision to pursue actingdespite the fact that his parents pushedhim to pursue law.

“I think the first play I got a role inwas in junior high school,”he said.“Onceyou get a laugh,you’re like, ‘Oh my god,I want to do this for the rest of my life.’”

Although his parents’ support for hiscareer increased with time — “My dad,Ithink, has become my agent,” Manji said— the political environment made it dif-ficult for him, a Muslim actor, to findwork.

Reflecting on this challenge, he said,“2001 was also the time when 9/11 hap-pened, and suddenly jobs for people thatlooked like me sort of stalled a bit.”

After numerous TV roles, he landed apart on “24” in 2010, when he made thedecision to portray a terrorist in spite of his previous aversion to those roles.

“The only problem I had for thelongest time was playing terrorist roles,”he said. “For me personally, being Mus-lim, I felt like I did not want to perpetu-ate that stereotype.”

When he was offered that role, how-ever, he came to a realization.

“In order to show the good part, youalso have to show the other part,” hesaid.“That could have been my rational-ization because I needed money . . . Atthat time, I felt okay doing that.”

Regardless of the “doctor” and “cabdriver” stereotypes that Manji men-tioned, he concluded that being SouthAsian in Hollywood has actually beenbeneficial.

“I have always felt, a hundred per-cent, that being Indian has helped me in

this career,” he said. “Especiallybecause when I walk in the room, Ilook different . . . that’s somethingthat I’m going to bring to it,no mat-ter how horrible my audition is.”

“When there is a role for a Cau-casian actor, you have so manychoices,” he added. “But whenyou’re auditioning for a part that’sspecifically written for an Indian,there are less.”

Furthermore, his role on “24”was received positively by his ownMuslim community.

“It was funny because at mymosque, everything else I did peo-ple didn’t care about, but this was‘You were on “24” and you actedwith Anil Kapoor — that’s so ex-

citing!’”Manji began acting on “Out-

sourced” in 2010, when he decidedto audition after “laughing outloud” while reading the script.Theproducers originally auditionedhim as the workplace clownGupta.

He jokingly described the audi-tion as a “South Asian Student As-sociation meeting.” Manji got thepart of Rajeev after all of the orig-inal candidates were eliminated infavor of his portrayal.

Sheth, on the other hand,spokeabout being the only South Asiantransgender actress on television.

“I got a lot of criticism from thetransgender community because Iwas a stripper on the show, andthey thought I was negatively rein-forcing stereotypes,” Sheth said.“One of my teachers in actingschool said, ‘If you’re gettingstereotyped, at least you’re work-ing.’”

“You have to start with some-thing,”she added.“I never thoughtI could be a transgender actress.”

Sheth also has a background insocial work and mentioned a pas-sion for working with LGBT

youth and a desire to mix televi-sion with activism. She mentionedthat she even fought for transgen-der visibility at her “Outsourced”audition.

She described the role as “agreat opportunity” for transgen-der people to gain visibility.

“I would love to one day be thatone transgender actress whobooks a role as a genetic woman,”Sheth said.

Sanskriti, a South Asian cam-pus organization,hosted the event.

During the event, Wu also dis-cussed measures that can be taken toconstruct the architecture of the Inter-net to allow for competition. Hestressed the need to maintain openchannels, avoid vertical monopolies

and prevent the government fromsheltering a company,as it has done inthe past.

“The openness of the Internet iscrucial to having the same shot at cre-ating,” Barbara van Schewick saidafter the talk.She is the faculty direc-tor of the Law School’s Center for In-ternet and Society and,along with Wu,is a lead theorist on net neutrality.

Others in the audience were moreskeptical of Wu’s points.

“He adopted a rather cynical viewof it, characterizing the power of net-work effects as a harmful byproduct of malignant monopolies,” said MichaelBroukhim, a first year master’s stu-dent in law and business.“I think thereare lots of benefits from people usingthe same products and operating onthe same platforms.”

The rush to secure summerinternships as the schoolyear winds down is a famil-iar feeling for many Stan-ford students. However,

some students’ voyages into the profes-sional world begin even before classesend, with part-time internships duringspring quarter.

Edward Zhu ‘13 is one of these earlystarters.About a month ago,he began apart-time internship with Morgan Stan-ley Smith Barney in San Francisco.Zhuworks at least two full days at the firm

each week.For a stipend,he helps man-agers analyze portfolio returns and con-sider alternatives to investments in thewealth management section of the com-pany.

Zhu stumbled upon the internship

in his search for summer work.He de-scribed how,as a sophomore,he had sethimself “high standards” and did nothave much success getting offers frombig investment firms like GoldmanSachs and Morgan Stanley.

After initiating contact with a num-ber of alumni who worked in finance,analumnus who works at Morgan Stanleyresponded to Zhu with an opportunityto work in the spring.

“[Being a part-time intern] would bea really good experience for me,and I’mgoing to do my best to see if I couldwork around my schedule, because Idon’t want to pass it up,”Zhu said.

For Zhu,the work experience is anopportunity to explore the finance in-dustry,his desired career path.The in-ternship, for him, is a way to learn “onthe fly,” as his supervisors generally ex-pect him to perform a good deal of

problem solving on his own.The biggest difference between a

spring and summer internship,howev-er, is not the delegated responsibility,but the balance of coursework andcompany work. Zhu is taking threemajor classes this quarter,but considershis two-day-per-week internship a goodfit for his schedule,though he has occa-sionally skipped lectures in order tomeet his employer’s expectation that hebe present for the duration of his work-days.

Indeed, Zhu’s experience is not un-common.Many of his finance-orientedfriends have done similar part-time in-

ternships in the past or,like Zhu,duringthe present quarter.

Certain student groups also offeropportunities to get started in the pro-fessional world while attending classes.Stanford Women in Business (SWIB)has been running a program referred toas the “springternship”for five years.

“A lot of the students don’t really getbusiness experience in their academiccoursework,”said Rebecca Johnson ‘11,SWIB co-president. “I think thespringternship is a conceivable way togive students hands-on practical educa-tional experiences outside to compli-ment what they’re learning in the class-room.”

Johnson herself did a part-time in-ternship with the technology start-upCooliris during spring quarter of hersophomore year.She worked on a mar-ket-research project related to user con-sumption in the Chinese market.

“It really helped me lay groundworkfor my later internships and other thingsI did in the business,” she said.“It con-vinces me that I should do everything I[can] to help continue the program.”

The springternship team offers op-portunities in business firms and non-profit organizations.They contact com-panies that may be interested in gettingStanford interns and then collect re-sumes from student applicants.After abrief pre-screening,all resumes are for-

Footloose,Apollo 13 and Animal House star Kevin Baconis making an appearance at Stanford tomorrow to talkabout “Social Networking for Social Good”at 5:30 p.m.inPaul Brest Hall, alongside Graduate School of Businessprofessor Jennifer Aaker,who has researched how social

media can be an amplifying force for social good. Bacon’s charita-ble social media website,SixDegrees.org,is linked with Network forGood, a website that enables one to donate, volunteer andfundraise for charities and nonprofits.The Stanford One Degreechallenge is SixDegrees.org’s initiative to look for the “next bigidea”that will connect people to advance charitable causes.

The Stanford Daily spoke with Network for Good’s Chief De-velopment Officer Dan McCabe about his work with Kevin Bacon,the SixDegrees site and the One Degree challenge.

How did Bacon come up with the name SixDegrees.org? What isits significance?

Bacon became known for the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”game.This went on for a while.In some cases,he didn’t want to be known

just because of all the people he’s been in movies with,but it becameexcessively popular,so he figured he had to do something good withthis.He ended up registering SixDegrees.org.

How is his website a social networking website for charity?

There are these things called Charity Badges,which are visual bill-boards for favorite causes.You go to the site,go to your profile,pickyour charity badge and write a brief story about why you’re so pas-sionate about this badge.It’s great for people getting involved infundraising.This year,he wanted to go to college campuses becausestudents know the latest and greatest of social media.

“look more deeply into normal andabnormal immune cell developmentand cancers.”

According to Erin Simonds,a doc-toral researcher in Nolan’s lab work-ing on leukemia research,the lab hasused this technology to examine dif-ferences between cancer cells and nor-mal cells to better understand the dis-ease process.Scientists can also use themass spectrometer to better identifyindividual cancers and might one daybe able to personalize cancer drugtherapies.

“It gives cancer researchers a muchbroader perspective. . . it allows youto look at the entire cancer in one shotand look at the way that cancer is quiteheterogeneous,” he said. “Once youfind the parameters that help define aperson’s cancer or get a fingerprint of that person’s cancer,then you can tai-lor therapy to treat that person’s can-cer more effectively.”

Sean Bendall,a postdoctoral schol-ar and fellow first author of the study,explained that the machine wouldhelp speed up the scientific process

and hopefully lead to therapies. Hesaw it being used to screen the effec-tiveness of drugs on multiple types of

cells to help determine side effects.Itcould also be utilized to differentiatestem cell lines and help further thatfield of research.

“Being able to ask more questionsall at once leads to more answers,and it just makes things move faster,”he said.

Researchers at the University of Toronto developed the mass spec-trometer itself and had the idea of ap-plying it to single cell analysis.They en-listed Nolan as an expert in single cellbiology to apply previous biologicalanalysis tools to the machine in an ef-fort to facilitate the machine’s transi-tion to the biology lab.

Nolan and the Toronto researchersbased the technique on the traditionalFluorescence Activated CytometrySystem (FACS) developed byLeonard Herzenberg at Stanford inthe 1970s.Nolan pursued his doctoralwork in the Herzenberg lab in the1980s.The FACS can test up to 10 or 12cell parameters at once by attachingantibodies to the cell labeled with or-ganic fluorescent molecules. It thenreads the cells by capturing the emit-ted light frequencies from the fluores-cents as the cells pass through an acti-vating laser.

The mass spectrometer labels mol-

ecules in the cell with rare earth ele-ments from the bottom of the period-ic table,which are attached to antibod-

ies instead of organic fluorescents.Thesignals from these elements are moreeasily differentiated than wavelengthsof different colors.

“When you look at a rainbow, thecolors aren’t totally separate. Onecolor blends into the next . . . and sowith anything that uses light-based de-tection, there are only so many colorsor dyes you can use before everythingblends together and you can’t meas-ure things anymore,”Bendall said.

Mass spectrometry allows for high-er resolution measurement becausedifferent elements have distinct mass-es and, unlike light, these signals donot blend.

The single cells labeled with differ-ent metals are then heated to vapor-ization and the machine reads the ionsof any elements bound by antibodiesto the cell.The resulting readings allowscientists to determine which of themultiple parameters a given cell ex-hibits, giving a clear picture of thatcell’s identity.

The machine is commerciallyavailable and is being adopted by labsaround the world.

Aweek ago,I had an experiencethat raised fresh questions forme about the digitally inter-

connected nature of the Stanfordcampus. One of my classes requiredsome collaboration for a group proj-ect, and the night before an assign-ment was due, one of my peers pro-posed that we all meet to discuss lo-gistics — but via Gchat,not in person.

Hold on, what ever happened toconversing face-to-face? Feeling al-most as odd as if I were shuffling intoa room of strangers, I logged onlineand joined the chat session.The dia-logue proceeded in a remarkably re-laxed manner for people who lacked

the benefit of formal introductions,but as we were wrapping up, one of the group members typed,“Wait, doany of you know who each other is?In real life,I mean?”

Cue the sudden awkwardness.Two of us had at least met, but theother two or three were completestrangers. What was more, our classwas a large lecture,which made it un-likely that any of us would even rec-ognize each other should thatserendipitous chance arise. The mo-ment highlighted the peculiarity of our interaction:even though we wereall Stanford students, our dialoguehad functioned on the same plane asan anonymous Internet chat room.My roommate laughed when I toldher about the incident: “How hard

can it be to meet up? You go to thesame school!”Indeed we do, but we also go to a

school in which an intensely wired-inculture is taken for granted.Call it theflip side of being in the heart of SiliconValley,but at Stanford, it can becomeall too easy to forget where the linelies between knowing each other au-thentically, in person, and knowingeach other only via a network.Afterall,I go through each day plugged intomy iPhone, laptop, Facebook, bothmy blog and those of other peopleand various email accounts — as Iknow is true for almost all of myfriends.I, like the majority of us,live ina fast-paced technological hub inwhich I know other people by theirdigital selves and am busily produc-ing the kind of digital persona that I

myself would like to project.When I step away from Stanford,much of this digital preoccupationfalls away. Maybe it’s the simple factof leaving the Bay Area air behind,but I check my smartphone and emailless.I am online less often.And, moststrikingly of all, I never fail to beamazed by how wonderful it is to seelongtime friends in person,instead of the texting, instant messaging andSkype interactions that characterizeour long-distance relationships. Yet,in the rhythm of campus life,I suspectthat this truth is often lost on me andmy Stanford peers.We can often fail

to take advantage of the opportuni-ties for real interaction that lie allaround us.

This strikes me as contrary to oneof the selling points that Stanfordclaims: the opportunity to meet, con-verse and network with other brilliantstudents and faculty.The best part of Stanford, they say, is the people—with which I’ve come to wholeheart-edly agree. I still recall one highschool college advisor, who himself had gone to Stanford,telling me thathis best memories from his under-graduate years involved late nights inthe hallways discussing overarchinglife questions with his friends.Now,inthe 21st century, I’ve had many in-tense Stanford conversations of myown — so how strange is it that a fairnumber of them,like my recent groupproject collaboration, have takenplace online rather than face-to-face?

Because logging on to a networkmakes it easier to instantly access thepeople we want to talk to.Ever sincemy freshman year,when many of myfriends were concentrated in thesame dorm, the people I know at

Stanford have become more physi-cally dispersed, and in many cases,technology is what ends up bridgingthe gap. Dropping a quick email ortext can maintain the illusion of beingin constant conversation. Plus, high-tech communication solutions bringthe added bonus of being able to cre-ate and project the exact voice thatwe want to exhibit — which gives ourgeneration a skewed sense of possess-ing the freedom to be whoever wewant to be. Doesn’t this, in itself, fitright into the self-inventing mindsetof being a Stanford student?

In a way, it’s reassuring that thewired-in nature of our campus allowsus to stay in touch despite busy sched-ules,but I wonder about the extent towhich we’re allowing digital inter-change to become a substitute for real-

life interaction. I have friends withwhom I can recognize an entirely dif-ferent dynamic functioning when wetalk via text message and when we talkin person. Feeling this gap can be sur-prising,if not downright unsettling.ForPete’s sake, we do go to the sameschool — and unplugging ourselves, if only to take a walk across campus,canbe a bigger boon to a relationship thanwe might think.

Where do you go to school?”“Mm,Stanford?”“Stanford!Damn,look at you,going to

an Ivy.”I’ve run into these sort of ex-

changes many a time, when peoplewho’ve vaguely heard of Stanford’sreputation assume that it’s an Ivy

League school, and every time, I justsort of smile and nod along.Unless itwas said by a friend who’s just leftthemselves open for a good ball-bust-ing, I tend not to go out of my way tocorrect the mistake, since a) I’ve al-ways thought correcting a minor mis-take like that to be sort of douchey andb) given the Ivies’ reps,it’s not like it’san insult to be lumped in with them.

Whenever I think about Stanfordand the Ivies though,I’m pleased withthe characterization of Stanford as an“Ivy League school that’s not an IvyLeague school,”and we’ve got a wholelot of things going for us here thataren’t over there.We’ve got a Division-1 sports program that has won sixteenstraight Director’s Cups and has seenFinal Four basketball teams (bothmen and women) and a top-five foot-

ball team in the past decade.We get tosunbathe in February while our EastCoast friends are freezing and sloggingthrough a foot of snow.We have Ike’s.

However, there’s something ourEast Coast friends do that is a definitesource of envy, and it always happensaround this time of year. No, it’s notthat they get out of school now (al-though that did always used to makeme jealous),but it is related.

Slope Day. Lawnparties. SpringFling.Any of these sound familiar?

These massive, all-campus tradi-tions celebrate the end of the schoolyear. There are concerts with big

names— Cornell’s Slope Day hadNelly, Princeton brought in WizKhalifa for their Lawnparties, Yalehad Lupe Fiasco for their SpringFling,Penn had Lupe Fiasco for theirSpring Fling (not a typo, Yale andPenn both call their celebrationsSpring Fling and they both broughtin Lupe Fiasco this year— must’vebeen confusing for Lupe). There isfun in the sun.There are freely flow-ing EANABs and uh . . . non-EAN-ABs.

Sounds pretty awesome,right? Anopportunity for the whole campus tocome out and celebrate the end of theyear,to see all your friends before part-ing ways for the summer (or forever),to quench your thirst from a day of frolicking in the sun with an ice-cold

non-EANAB (or two).All these other schools have thesebig, school-sponsored celebrations,but what do we have? The closest thingmight be Battle of the Classes,and al-though it’s a step in the right direction,especially now that it’s been combinedwith Spring Faire,no one’s going to bemistaking it any time soon for a SlopeDay (I’m also sure that there are abunch of people who just read that andhad no idea what/when Battle of theClasses and Spring Faire are). Sure,fraternities might throw a couple of open parties and individual houses ordorms might have a barbecue,and you

can always toast the end of the yearwith your group of friends,but for themost part, I’ve always felt like ourschool year just sort of fizzles to anend.

As weird as it might feel to wantto co-opt traditions from otherschools, a good idea is a good idea.

(And for people hesitant to followin the footsteps of those hoity-toityIvy Leaguers, just think of it as rip-ping off Georgetown’s GeorgetownDay or Syracuse University’sMayfest or any other of the manyspring celebrations out there.) Andwe certainly do have our ownunique traditions to be proud of,likeFull Moon on the Quad and Mau-soleum Party,but I’m sure that peo-ple wouldn’t picket against a bangin’day of fun just because it’s not one of the traditions we already have.

Would there be obstacles? Sure,throwing something as large in scopeas an all-campus event would raise is-sues of money, space, clearing thingswith the right people, etc., but we’veseen various student groups and or-ganizations put together events like

Full Moon, Vision Earth and Snow-chella before,so it wouldn’t be impos-sible.Those last two events could be amodel, with multiple student groupsworking together to throw the end-of-the-year celebration that Stanfordshould have.

Stanford’s the best at so manythings,surely we can do at least as wellas those Ivies.Just as long as we don’tcall it Spring Fling.

Tim knows you want to end the year with a bang.Tell him what would makea Stanford-style year-end celebrationwould need at [email protected].

Kevin would be the first to say that heisn’t an expert in social media. How-ever,he realizes that as a celebrity,hecan attract attention and do some-thing good with it. Bacon called us[Network for Good] and came upwith his site. The site is managed byNetwork for Good, but Kevin is di-rectly involved.

Why did Bacon and Network forGood challenge Stanford to come upwith charitable ideas?

There was a collaborative brainstormto do a challenge.We wanted to comeup with a new idea for SixDegrees.Hefigured college students would have agreat idea. I have a colleague at theHaas center who has told me all thethings you were doing.We got into aconversation about expanding the

definition of public service. A fewmonths later, I called him and talkedto him about this idea.

Did Bacon and Professor JenniferAaker know each other before set-ting up this event?

Jen’s theories and mantra of the “but-terfly effect” line up almost perfectlywith Kevin’s philosophy of smallgroups of people creating ripple af-fects.They’ve never met before,and Idon’t think he’s intimately familiarwith her work, but I think there’ll besome pretty cool sparks on stage.

How will Kevin and Network for Goodwork with the winners of the challenge?

Kevin will meet the finalists and thewinner personally. With the winner,he’ll have a lot of conversations to re-fine ideas.AOL has joined this too,andif students want to make somethingmore than an idea,AOL has offeredthe winner office space for six months.By the end of the year, we hope tolaunch either a campaign or tool forSixDegrees, and we’ll recognize thestudent who came up with the idea.

commemorate their graduationyear. The money raised will bematched by donations from PeterBing ‘55 and the Atwell Match, aprogram that matches donationsfrom recent graduates and currentstudents. The Parents’ AdvisoryBoard also pledged to donate $5,000for every 10 percent of student par-ticipation.

More than 75 percent of the

money raised will be spent on need-based financial aid for undergradu-ate students, while the remainingfunds will finance programs such asSophomore College and undergrad-uate research.

Historically, Stanford has laggedbehind peer institutions such as Har-

vard,Princeton and Yale,where sen-ior gift participation rates rangefrom 80 to 99 percent. In recentyears, however, the University hasseen resurgence in Senior Gift par-ticipation.

“Stanford once had a very strongSenior Gift program, culminatingwith the class of 2000,who set the all-time record of 78 percent class partic-ipation,” Brian said. “In the years

after,senior participation fell dramat-ically . . . but recently,classes have re-engaged with this campaign.”

In the remaining weeks beforegraduation, the 80-student team willcontinue to host a number of eventsto raise awareness about the cam-paign, including a free wine tasting

planned for this Friday.“Our team this year is confidentthat Stanford seniors have valuedand appreciated their Stanford expe-rience just as much, if not more,thanseniors at other universities, and oneway to show this is through SeniorGift participation,”Brian said.

The majority opinion on finals didnot translate,however,to a consensuson the calendar debate.

“Although there were strong pref-

erences for when finals should occur,the same level agreement did notexist when it came to when the schoolyear should start — which is directlyrelated to the length of the first se-mester if the semester is to concludebefore winter break,”the report said.

Should Istay or

By MICHAEL LAZARUSSTAFF WRITER

With its quota of late-inningheroics filled for the week, theStanford baseball team won in tra-ditional fashion on Monday. TheNo. 25 Cardinal scored early andoften and held Pacific to one run

over the final seven innings in an11-5 victory.

Playing a rare midweek gameaway from home, Stanford (26-16,9-9 Pac-10) sustained its momen-tum following a weekend sweepover visiting Washington and im-proved its winning streak to fivegames.

BASEBALL

STANFORD 11

PACIFIC 5

5/9, Stockton, Calif.

On Saturday, Stanford had awalk-off win against Washingtonon a misplayed ground ball to sec-

ond base with two outs and thebases loaded. On Sunday,the Car-dinal, trailing 2-1 in the eighth in-ning,rallied for six runs to raise thebrooms in Sunken Diamond.

Monday’s game versus Pacific(15-28), postponed from March 23due to rain, featured 16 runs, 26hits, five errors and three Cardinalhome runs,but seemed oddly tamecompared to the weekend festivi-ties.

Freshman first baseman BrianRagira — named the Pac-10 Play-er of the Week after hitting .571with six RBIs last week — onceagain jump-started the Cardinal

offense. After senior catcher ZachJones led off the game with a singleand sophomore outfielder TylerGaffney reached via error, Ragirastepped to the plate and did exact-ly what the reigning Player of theWeek is supposed to do: launch athree-run blast over the fence inright center.

“Obviously I’m feeling prettygood at the plate, but more thananything, I’m not thinking toomuch,” Ragira said.“Just trying toget the foot down a little earlierand trusting the hands and lettingthem work.”

The lead would not last for long,though. Starter A.J. Vanegasworked out of a jam unscathed inthe first after allowing back-to-back singles, but could not escape

another tough spot in the second.The freshman got two quick outsbut then ran into trouble.A double,two singles, two walks and twopassed balls later,Pacific led 4-3.

That would be the one opportu-nity Pacific would get.

Gaffney tied the game with asolo shot to start the fourth,and thebrothers Diekroeger, Kenny and

Idon’t know if you caught it,but just a coupleof weeks ago, Stanford played host to whatmight have been the game of the year,if onlyI could remember which sport.And to get itout of the way early — no,Andrew Luck was

not playing, but someone named Evan Barry sureput on a show.Maybe it would help to go over whatI do remember from that night . . .

For starters, the match was action-packed,partic-ularly on the defensive end, filled with amazingback-and-forth rallies and featured clutch perform-ances from both of Stanford’s repeat First Team All-Americans in the sport.LSJUMB was there (I guessthat’s not very helpful,as I’ve seen the Band makingan effort to get out to just about every sport thisspring), but even they weren’t the rowdiest fans atthe game (now that ought to help).

By now you might be thinking one of severalthings:one,why won’t this stupid columnist get to hisobviously trivial point so I can go watch the Red Sox

beat up on the Blue Jays? Two, who does this kidthink he is,trying to make fun of me for not knowinganything about what he is talking about? Or three,how did I not know this awesome sport in which myschool was the defendingnational champion?

I assume that most of you are picking option two,although number one might have some clout with allyou fellow members of RSNation. But I guess mytarget audience is those in the last boat.

The match I was describing (and just recently re-membered in vivid detail) was the No. 4 men’svolleyball team’s Mountain Pacific Sports Feder-ation Tournament quarterfinal matchup againstNo. 5 Long Beach State at Maples Pavilion onSaturday, April 23.

I’ll stop here and won’t be offended if some of you stop reading now because you think you don’treally care about or like men’s volleyball. Tall menrunning and jumping around in spandex just don’tdo it for you, and that’s okay, but I would like topoint out that the men’s team actually doesn’t wearspandex.

For those of you still reading, thank you.And toreward you, I’d like to hand out some statistics thatought to make those who stopped reading a little

jealous. In that MPSF quarterfinal match, Stanfordand Long Beach State were tied a total of 42 times inthe five sets and 144 minutes it took to complete.There were also a whopping 14 lead changes in the222 total points won in the match.

Sixty-one points either saw a team take the lead,tie the score or win the match. I don’t know aboutyou,but for all the “parity” in major college and pro-fessional sports that brings in viewers and makes fortight finishes,it’s hard to get much closer than that.

You techies in the audience (all seven of you)

have already figured out that those 61 points ac-count for over 27 percent of the match. Congratula-tions, now put on some sunscreen and come out of your room to enjoy the sunny weather you saw peo-ple talking about on Twitter (#reasonthree-StanfordisbetterthanHarvard).

And on the subject of parity, let’s talk about theMPSF and men’s volleyball. In the American Volley-ball Coaches Association’s national rankings at theend of the season, MPSF schools occupied seven of the top eight spots. Ohio State finished in the topspot by virtue of its victory in the NCAA title match,

CARD TAMES TIGERS

I’m not sure what it was, butsomething got me thinkingabout endings this weekend.

Maybe it was Jeremy Green’sdecision to end his Stanford ca-reer and turn pro, or perhaps it wasPhil Jackson coaching his last NBAgame. Or maybe it was my own lastgame as coach of Stanford’s club base-ball team— I don’t know for certain,but what I do know is that I realizedthere are both good and bad ways tohang ‘em up.

Jeremy Green’s departure fromStanford was definitely not the bestway to go out.I don’t want to dwell onGreen for too long— my friend andcolleague Wyndam Makowsky did afine job of just that yesterday — but Ihave to say that Green’s decision toleave Stanford early for the NBA is arare one, to put it one way.That maycome across as pompous,but Stanfordplayers— especially Stanford players

who won’t be first-round picks andlikely won’t be drafted at all— don’ttend to leave school early.

Green leaves Stanford with morequestions than answers. There is acloud swirling above him and his aca-demic record. No one is quite surewhat his relationship with JohnnyDawkins and the rest of the coachingstaff was like — and frankly, he justisn’t a very big NBA prospect.

Unfortunately for Green, he willnot be remembered as a Stanford leg-end, even though he is one of Stan-ford’s best players in the last few years.Instead, he ends his Stanford careerwithout a trip to an NCAA Tourna-ment and leaves with fans scratchingtheir heads asking,“Why?”

Phil Jackson’s last hurrah as anNBA coach may be even more puz-zling than Green’s decision. In allprobability, Jackson — arguably thegreatest coach in professional sportshistory (I see you, Scotty Bowmanand Red Auerbach) — coached hislast game Sunday in Dallas,as his Lak-ers got pulverized by the Mavericks,122-86.

Jackson, who spent his entire ca-reer winning with the Bulls and Lak-ers, put a team out on the court Sun-day that played like it didn’t want tobe there and acted like a bunch of middle schoolers after losing a gameof kickball. The Lakers got downearly,and the only fight they showedin trying to get back in the game was tothrow cheap shots at the Mavericksonce the game was out of reach.Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum

got themselves ejected for essentiallyusing Mavericks players as punchingbags— meaning three Lakers play-ers,Ron Artest being the other, wereejected or suspended in the series forviolent fouls.

Joe Posnanski of Sports Illustrat-ed, perhaps the best sportswriteraround, summed up Jackson’s depar-ture pretty well in his column yester-day.

Assistant coach Nicole Barnhart‘04 and Rachel Buehler ‘07 werenamed to the United States soccerteam that will compete in the 2011Women’s World Cup in Germanythis June. Both former Stanfordstars are expected to play key rolesfor the team, but another formerCardinal player — Kelley O’Hara‘10 — was among the final cuts forthe national squad.

All three Stanford icons werepart of a 29-member camp thatended on May 6, but U.S. headcoach Pia Sundhage cut that num-ber to 21 for this summer’s final ros-ter.

Barnhart, now a volunteercoach, set the Stanford record formost shutouts (35) and goals-against average (0.45) during hercareer as a goalkeeper from 2000-04. She has the most internationalexperience of any recent Stanfordgraduate and should compete withthe currently injured Hope Solo forthe starting spot this summer.

Buehler, a defender, played onthe Farm in 2003 and from 2005-07,playing alongside Barnhart duringher rookie season.She has some in-ternational experience at the juniorlevel, twice competing in the U-19

but all-in-all,11 of the top 15 volley-ball teams in the country play in theMPSF. For reference, there are only12 teams in MPSF men’s volleyball.

Stanford plays in the Pac-10 inmost sports — baseball, footballand basketball, to name a few —and just for fun, let’s take a look athow those sports stacked up nation-ally. There are 10 teams in the bas-ketball and football editions of thePac-10, and this year, there werefour nationally ranked teams at theend of the season — combined.Pac-10 baseball has three rankedteams in the top 25 right now, withtwo more hovering on the edge.

So that’s a grand total of sevennationally ranked teams from threedifferent sports.Seven versus 11 —I’m just an American studies major,but it seems like one is bigger thanthe other.

I understand you gridiron guruswho are in a race to see who can spitout your mouthpiece first and tell

me that the number of quality

teams across the country is waygreater in football. Let me assureyou,I know that there are 120 Divi-sion-I FBS football teams. I alsoknow there are 346 D-I basketballteams and close to 300 baseballteams.

I understand all of your cries justas much as I don’t understand Jere-my Green’s decision to stay in theupcoming NBA Draft.But all jokesaside, my point here is not thatMPSF men’s volleyball is far supe-rior to any other sport, but that it’sstill one of the greatest shows onturf . . . err,court.

The sport has some of the bestall-around athletes in the country,simply given the fact that a volley-ball player must possess the rawathleticism to jump very high, themental ability to think through acomplex set of strategies veryquickly and the hand-eye coordina-tion to hit a ball with power that isimpressive by anyone’s standards.

Junior outside hitter Brad Law-son is one of the two aforemen-tioned repeat All-Americans (jun-ior libero Erik Shoji is the other),and watching him spike a volleyballis a spectacle I would encourage all

10 of you still reading to go and dobefore it’s too late. (As a side note,hop on YouTube and watch himsing an equally impressive versionof the national anthem. It mightmove you more than you think.)

And when you have the chanceto watch a game with as much ac-tion as a good men’s volleyballmatch has, do it. Stanford had anup-and-down year that included asweep of the No.2 team in the coun-try but then never really got hotafter spring break and ran into aLong Beach team that had the Car-

dinal’s number all season long (3-0against the Card in 2011).

I don’t want this column to beone of those long tirades about fansnot coming out to a sport I think isworthy; I don’t think those are ef-fective or particularly interesting,with apologies to my fellow colum-nists. I just think that you ought tocheck out the MPSF and all it of-fers.

As the beat writer that went tomost of the team’s home matchesthis season, I got to see the fast-paced game that is rally-scoring vol-leyball. And it was a great experi-ence because Stanford played 23 of its 28 matches against nationallyranked opponents this year. As asports fan, I enjoy watching goodcompetition,and if the MPSF doesanything well, it’s ensure tremen-dous competition.

And that’s all I’m trying to tellyou here today.You may have lostyour shot at seeing the men’s vol-leyball team compete this season,but next year’s squad has some seri-ous potential to bring the KA Kra-zies out in force in May and maybego after a second national title inthree years.

Miles Bennett-Smith, despite hisimpressive collection of spandex,will always have to enjoy MPSF volleyball from the sidelines. Livethe dream and schedule a meet-upin the sand pits by emailing [email protected].

earn academic credits.They work ina variety of fields, including technol-ogy start-ups,medical device compa-nies, finance firms and fashion busi-nesses.

cause it’s apparently the thing to say)that this shameful and abominableexit should not diminish from PhilJackson’s long and breathtaking ca-reer. . . but it sure doesn’t leave ahappy echo.No champion in memoryhas gone out with such a lack of class.No great team in memory had so littlerespect for their coach that they senthim off in such a disgraceful fashion,”Posnanski wrote.And he is spot on.

What will we remember aboutPhil Jackson a few years from now?Of course we will remember the 11NBA championships, the triangle of-fense, Jordan, O’Neal and Bryant—and not,I think,Sunday’s classless dis-play.Still, that is no way for a legend to

end his career.Not everyone — in fact almost no

one — can go out like John Elway orDavid Robinson. If there is a goodway to retire, they found it. Both

Elway and Robinson went out aschampions, Elway of Super BowlXXXIII in 1999 and Robinson of the2003 NBA Finals. Neither pulled aBrett Favre and made his retirementprocess a three-ring circus,nor did ei-ther let his skills diminish enough tomake him a forgettable member of amemorable team. In fact, both wereproductive members of their titlesquads.

In sports,as in life,finding the righttime to say enough is enough can be adifficult task. You can’t always findthe fairytale that Robinson andElway did— and sometimes legendslike Jackson leave us with a sour tastein our mouths.

From there, the Cardinalbullpen took over. Head coachMark Marquess handed the ball to

junior Elliott Byers, who held theTigers to one run over two innings.After that, it was all sophomoreSahil Bloom.

Having played limited inningsthis season,Bloom had his best out-ing of the season. The righthandermade sure Stanford would not needany more last-minute magic.Bloomtossed five shutout innings, scatter-ing three hits and one walk whilestriking out five.

The Cardinal offense supportedBloom,scoring five more runs overthe final six innings. In the fourth,Jones doubled and came around toscore on a Gaffney single. Follow-ing a stolen base, sophomore thirdbaseman Stephen Piscotty scoredGaffney on a single to center.

“It definitely feels different[playing with a lead], but I don’tthink as a team we play any differ-ently,” Ragira said. “In the begin-ning of the season, we were able to

score early in the game and hold onto win, but now even when we getthe lead,we seem able to keep tack-ing on.”

Stanford tacked on two more in

the sixth with the third home run of the night — this one by freshmanoutfielder Austin Wilson — and asacrifice fly by Ragira. Piscottycapped the scoring in the eighthwith an RBI double that broughthome Gaffney.
