West campus gym breaks groundBy JOSH HOYT

Construction on the ArrillagaOutdoor Education and RecreationCenter is set to be completed bywinter quarter 2013, administratorspredict.

The new gym will closely resem-ble the existing Arrillaga Center forSports and Recreation (ACSR)from the outside and will have thesame 75,000-square-foot size, butwill not include the same facilitiesfor Stanford athletic teams. Work-ers broke ground for the new gym inAugust.

Instead,the new facility is aimedat providing more comprehensiveand accessible recreation to encour-age health and wellness for all stu-dents.It serves the west side of cam-pus — which has not had its ownweight-room facilities since most of the equipment was moved to theACSR in 2005 — and aims to bringtogether recreational opportunitiesthat go beyond the basics.

“It is a prime location becausewe have the golf course there andthe Red Barn and other recreation-al opportunities,” said Deputy Ath-letic Director Ray Purpur.“But cur-

rently the pool is inadequate, [like]the facilities in general.”

The building will have twofloors,similar to the ACSR,with theupper featuring a large space forStanford’s strong outdoor educa-tion programs. It will be the newhome of Stanford Outdoor Gear(SOG),which is currently based outof shipping containers on StockFarm Road.There is also the possi-bility of a retail area that will selloutdoor equipment.

Living-wageline sales ‘as

expected’

By ELLORA ISRANIDESK EDITOR

The Alta Gracia clothing brand,a “living-wage”line launched at theStanford Bookstore last Septem-ber, has performed “as expected,”according to bookstore directorJanet Gawley.

Alta Gracia is a subdivision of the Knights Apparel, Inc., whichsources its clothing from the “LaAltagracia” province of the Do-minican Republic. The brand paysall of its workers a “living wage” —approximately three times thecountry’s minimum wage — whichcovers “adequate food,clean water,clothing, shelter, health care, childcare and education for themselvesand their families,”according to thecompany’s website.

According to Alta Gracia Com-mmunity Education CoordinatorRachel Taber,the brand is perform-ing well this year.It l aunched in 250bookstores and is already carried in400.

“[We’ve had] a ton of studentsupport nationally, tons of localnewspapers have covered it and alot of students have engaged their

Enrollment in the introductorycomputer science (CS) courseCS106A has exceeded 660 stu-dents for autumn quarter 2011, arecord high for all courses in theCS Department and a continua-tion of the class’ enrollmentgrowth, which has been accelerat-ing since 2007.

Mehran Sahami B.S. ’92 M.S.’93 Ph.D.’99,associate professor incomputer science and associatechair for education in the depart-ment,is teaching CS106A this fall.Sahami said the department is wel-coming this growth.

“The fall class has been grow-ing consistently, but this year itgrew more than we expected,” hesaid.“For us, it’s pretty exciting tohave this many students goingthrough the program. We haveseen our introductory CS106 se-ries as an indicator of the numberof students who will declare a CSmajor, which has also been in-creasing rapidly.”

CS106A set a record for enroll-

ment during the height of the dot-com bubble in the 1999-2000 aca-demic year,with 762 students tak-ing the class over the course of theyear. This record was nearly bro-ken in the 2009-10 school year.Sa-hami estimates that nearly 1,100students took the class last year,in-cluding 500 during fall quarter.

This year, that fall quarter enroll-ment record has already been ex-ceeded by 30 percent and is ontrack to beat the yearlong record.

Despite these growing num-bers, Sahami and other CS106Aprofessors, including Jerry Cain,Steve Cooper and Eric Roberts,continue to strive to accommodateall of the students who enroll in thecourse.

“It’s great for more students toactually get experience with com-puting and to get the empower-ment of working with program-ming,”Sahami said.“A large num-ber of students go through theclass every year, and we want toserve all the students who want totake it.”

This quarter, high demand forthe course may mean studentsforegoing seats, even though theclass is hosted in Stanford’s largestlecture hall:Hewlett 200.

The next largest venue for theclass would be Dinkelspiel orMemorial Auditorium.

The CS Department itself hasbeen expanding to accommodate

this spike in interest.“We hired a new lecturer andteaching faculty member lastyear,” Sahami said.“There is defi-nitely a need for growth within thedepartment. Especially for intro-ductory classes,a large undergrad-

The Kirkland & Ellis Law Firmpledged $2.75 million to the Stan-ford Law School over the next fiveyears through several initiativesfunded by the firm, as well as bymatching gifts from its partners.

The pledge will fund “expandedclinical programs, new studentawards and a series of panels andsymposia on the legal profession,”according to an article by The Na-tional Law Journal.

“This generous support fromKirkland & Ellis will enable Stan-ford Law School to continue totransform legal education and pre-pare the next generation of leadersthrough innovative,interdisciplinaryand international programs,new and

expanded forms of clinical educa-tion and a renewed commitment topublic service,” said Dean of Stan-ford Law School Larry Kramer inthe article.

The donation will establish theKirkland & Ellis Scholars Program,acknowledging the six top-perform-ing first-year law students each year.It replaces the coif designation,elim-inated in 2008 when the schoolstopped awarding letter grades.Theprogram awards performance acrossthe board,unlike book awards whichreward individual course mastery.

In another dominant perform-ance, the Stanford football teamstayed undefeated on the seasonand extended the nation’s longestwinning streak to 12 games — dat-ing back to last season — by top-ping Pac-12 foe UCLA 45-19 onSaturday night.

In front of just the fifth sellout

crowd since the new Stanford Sta-dium opened in 2006, the No. 7Cardinal (4-0,2-0 Pac-12) had littletrouble pushing its way past thestruggling Bruins (2-3, 1-1), butthat isn’t to say there wasn’t excite-

ment and intrigue — like starquarterback Andrew Luck split-ting wide out to snag a pass.

tephanie Liou ’13 began volunteeringat a Cardinal Free Clinic as a way toconvince her mother that she wasn’tcut out for the medical field,but soonrealized that she was wrong.Within a

few months,Liou had found her calling.Organized by the Stanford School of Medi-

cine,the Cardinal Free Clinics provide free andimmediate health care to low-income adultswho would otherwise not be able to receive it.The Pacific Free Clinic, founded in 2003, was

created in response to the success of theArbor Free Clinic, founded in 1990. Bothclinics also give aspiring health care andpublic service students a chance to inter-act directly with underinsured patientsand learn from physicians.

Liou,an aspiring medical care profes-sional, now volunteers at the PacificFree Clinic on a regular basis.“Through volunteering at a clinic, I

realized that there is absolutely nothingelse I would rather do with my life,” Liou

said.“We believe that everyone has the rightto quality medical care and that there is noth-

ing more meaningful than learning throughhands-on experience and serving others.”Free services at the clinic range from health

screenings and medications to specialty careand health education. Students, including un-dergraduates, graduates and post-doctoralscholars,are largely responsible for running theservices. Through the effort and commitmentof these students, the clinics are able to reachout to underserved adults in several locales, in-cluding San Jose and the South Bay.

“Our volunteers understand the very realneed for high-quality health care for low-incomepatients,”said David Purger,a second-year med-ical student and manager of the Pacific FreeClinic.“It is wonderful to see new volunteers ma-ture in their roles at the clinic and realize that

their work, whether that means checking in pa-tients at the front desk in the morning,drawingblood for lab tests or counseling on diet and ex-ercise, can and often does mean the differencebetween sickness and health for our patients.”

Due to limited funding, the clinics operateonly one day a week, but most of their successtakes place outside open hours.And in the faceof scant supplies, both clinics try to delivermore comprehensive patient care.

“We are fortunate to have grants, but thatsaid, we are still a free clinic,” said AmrapaliMaitra, a medical student and manager of theArbor Free Clinic.“We generally strive to pro-vide immediate care of acute conditions,but wealso look toward the larger goal of overall,long-term health improvement and to ensureaccess for our patients to primary-care homesor referrals if needed.”

Although the program is relatively smallFree Clinics has left an undeniable impact onthe lives of both the patients and the volun-teers,including to students like Liou.

Liou says she continues to be humbled bythe gratefulness and optimism of her patients,

including one woman who had not seen a doc-tor in more than six years before she steppedinto the Pacific Free Clinic.

“I will never forget one patient who had towait over half an hour for a blood test due to anunfortunate paperwork error on our part,”Liou said. “Instead of complaining or express-ing any impatience, she smiled.In the Stanfordbubble, it can be so easy to get caught up in thelittle stressors — poor performance on amidterm, pulling an all-nighter to finish apaper, getting rejected from an internship —but the clinic is where I go to remind myself of the more important things in life.”

basketball courts, a space for theclub cycling team, a 3,200-square-foot climbing wall and a 1,700-square-foot dance studio.The facil-ity emphasizes flexible usage spaceto accommodate the diverse andchanging recreational activities of the students.

“Part of it is we don’t yet knowwhat the demand is,” Purpur said.“At one time, everybody wantedracquetball courts and now nobodydoes, although there has been asurge lately.”

The basement floor has evenmore flexible space, with foursmaller classrooms and two larger

spaces, one 3,500 square feet andthe other 3,300 square feet, all de-signed for general-purpose use.Thebasement will also feature a largeweight room.

“It will be quite a bit bigger thanthe one we have now,” Purpur said.“It will have men’s locker roomsand women’s locker rooms andshowers and everything, and it willbe attached to the pool.”

The pool will be 50 meters,Olympic sized and will only be usedfor recreation.One end of the poolwill have a zero-entry feature thatallows people to enter and exitwithout using the standard ladders.

The pool construction will befunded by the Avery family, thefamily that funded the AveryAquatic Center,while the Arrillagafamily is again covering the majori-ty of the costs for the gym facilities.The construction costs will comefrom the two families, while the

“University fees,” which includecosts such as permitting and archi-

tects, will come from the Universi-ty’s general funds. Cost estimates

range between $30 and 40 million.Construction will mean a reduc-

tion in the size of Roble Field,which decreases the amount of open space on west campus. How-ever, by eliminating the existingRoble Pool and some temporarybuildings, there will be space for afull-size soccer field between RobleGym and the new recreation cen-ter.

“I know the University is verygood at making sure there is plentyof green space,” Purpur said.“Thatis what ‘the Farm’ is.”

than tripled last year,which is a di-rect result of students going in andasking their bookstores to carry itmore.”

For example,Taber noted, NewYork University’s $200,000 orderof Alta Gracia apparel sold out

within two weeks thanks to in-store promotions.

“Wherever students have reallyspoken up and vocalized that theywant Alta Gracia to come to theircampus, we’ve seen a lot of verygood improvements,”Taber said.

Students on campus haveshown substantial support for AltaGracia, with student groups suchas the Stanford Labor ActionCoalition (SLAC) promoting thebrand on campus.

The bookstore has also done itsshare of in-store and online pro-motion.

“We promote Alta Graciathrough in-store posters and ourwebsite,” Gawley wrote in anemail to The Daily. “When a cus-tomer selects the apparel sectionof our website — Alta Gracia isthe first option available to themon the drop-down menu.No othervendor is listed within the appareldrop-down menu.”

Gawley called the price of AltaGracia clothing “comparable” to

other brands at the bookstore.Forexample, a basic short-sleeve t-shirt at the bookstore startsaround $13.An Alta Gracia t-shirtis $18.

Follett Corporation,which runsbookstores across the country, in-cluding at Stanford, doubled itsorder from Alta Gracia in the lastyear,Taber said.

She also highlighted supportfrom “progressive” and “business-oriented” groups across the coun-

try, among them the microfinanceorganization Campus Kiva, theUnited States Student Organiza-tion, United Students AgainstSweatshops and various Domini-can student groups.

“It’s really been a processacross a spectrum,” she said.

Gawley said the StanfordBookstore will continue to carrythe brand given a positive con-sumer reception.

“Its products are of high quali-ty,and the message they convey tothe consumer is a positive one,”Gawley said.“We have seen steadysales of this merchandise, and Iwould expect that trend to contin-ue.”

“We will continue to purchaseapparel from Alta Gracia andbring in new product as it is avail-able,”she continued. “We are veryproud to be able to bring this prod-uct to the Stanford community.”

OPINIONS

LETTERS TO THE

EDITOR

Take a few sticks of butter,some chocolate and a can of frosting,mix in a few hundred

angry protestors, top with a dollopof racial tension and heat at hightemperature until combustion, andyou get the recipe for disaster thatwas UC-Berkeley last week.

Seizing the opportunity to sati-rize the new pro-affirmative actionlegislation that was under debate inthe California state legislature lastweek, the Berkeley College Re-publicans (BCR) enthusiasticallyheld what they termed an “IncreaseDiversity Bake Sale” last Tuesday.The sale was intended to protestSenate Bill 185, which has since

been passed by the state legislatureand now awaits Governor JerryBrown’s approval. The bill wouldallow the state university system toconsider race and gender whenmaking admissions decisions.

Using the weapon of satire, thebake sale charged differentialprices to consumers based on eth-nicity and sex.White students seek-ing to purchase yummy cookies and

cupcakes were charged $2, whileAsians had to fork over a mere$1.50,Hispanics $1,African Ameri-cans $0.75 and Native Americans aquarter. Women of all races re-ceived a 25-cent discount (thenoble efforts of several Native-American women to abscond withtruckloads of free cookies were,alas,rebuffed).

If attention was the BCR’s goal,then it succeeded rather brilliantly.Not surprisingly, the bake sale im-mediately aroused the hysteria of UC-Berkeley students and admin-istrators alike, triggering instanta-neous paroxysms of outrage fromthe Vice Chancellor for Equity and

Inclusion, various pro-affirmativeaction student groups and a hordeof counter-protestors who all woreblack and pretended to die enmasse in front of the bake sale table— all of which was, of course, pre-cisely the kind of sensationalist re-sponse the bake sale was designedto elicit. The mainstream mediasoon swooped in to gleefully cher-ry-pick the most deliciously nasty

quotes from the ensuing shout-fest,and voila: instant, glorious nationalattention for the Berkeley CollegeRepublicans.

If a similar event ever occurs atStanford, I would hope that wecould be better than that — that wewould respond with reasoned argu-ment rather than substance-lessshouting to a provocation clearlydesigned to spark the latter,that wecould take advantage of a rare op-portunity to have a tough, painfulbut ultimately rewarding discus-sion about race and class and thatwe would be confident enough inthe soundness of our arguments toconduct them in a civil manner.

But until then, let’s start by ad-dressing the BCR’s main point

(and how to begin the conversationthat Cal could have had last week).Is taking account of race and gen-der in university admissions deci-sions really analogous to, and asmanifestly unjust as, differentialcookie pricing? It depends, I think,on what precisely affirmative ac-tion is designed to achieve.

If we take at face value JusticePowell’s calculus in Bakke, whichheld that affirmative action is legalinsofar as it promotes the state’s justified interest in improving thequality of learning within universi-ty walls, then race and genderwould seem to be reasonable fac-tors to include in a holistic admis-

sions review.Students at a universi-ty composed solely of Asian fe-males or Hispanic males or whitesor whoever would surely sufferfrom an impaired ability to learnabout worlds and perspectives dif-ferent from their own — worldsand perspectives invariably coloredby race, experience and culture.

I DO CHOOSE TO R UN

Affirmative action: yummy and delicious

Isuck at sharing.Even though I’mnot an only child,I’ve never reallygotten used to the whole “this ob-

ject belongs to both of us, and we areboth allowed to use it” concept.So itreally should come as no surprise thatI am slightly (read:very) disturbed byStanford’s communal bathroom situ-ation.

You know how on TV, collegebathrooms are these steamy placeswhere mostly naked students standaround and flirt? Apparently TVwriters never actually attended col-lege.Because if they did, I guaranteebathrooms on television would look ahelluva lot different.

First, let’s get rid of this “co-ed issexy”idea.At least in Stern,there areseparate facilities for men andwomen.And I thank dear old Lelandand Jane for that fact at least 10 timesa day.(Even if they didn’t, you know,directly have a say in the constructionof the bathrooms.) Because really,no-body looks cute at 3 a.m.Do you real-ly want the guy you’ve been hookingup with for the entire quarter to seeyou puking your guts up after toomany shots? Or first thing the nextmorning when your smoky-eyemakeup has smeared down to yourchin and your hair would make AmyWinehouse step back and say,“Whoagirlfriend, that’s a little too trashy”?Didn’t think so.

And I’ve never seen floor-mates

hold full-on conversations in thebaño,either. Sure,people say “Hey,”but we’re in there for a reason, youknow? No need for superfluous talk-ing. Also, I’m not quite sure how toconverse with someone clad only in atoo-small towel; my crappy publichigh school must have skipped thatlesson. (But we totally spent three

weeks learning how to divide frac-tions. Which lesson seems like themore important life skill?!? Clearlysome educators need to get their pri-orities ironed out.) My aversion to thesight of ass cheeks first thing in themorning is part of the reason why Iam such a huge proponent of bathrobes.They’re also soft and fluffy— sort of like slipping on a cuddly kit-ten after a shower.And most impor-tantly, I guarantee a trusty robe willsave you from at least one dreadfullyawkward situation per year. In mybook, that makes it a $14.99 wellspent.

I suppose I would be a lot morecomfortable with communal bath-rooms if everyone else using them hadobsessive-compulsive cleaning habits.But somehow, I always manage to jump in the shower just after That Girlsteps out.You know, the bitch downthe hall who wastes all the hot waterand leaves copious amounts of hair inthe drain. The Chewbacca living onthe first floor of Twain has recentlytaken it one step further; she makes

lovely murals out of drain hair andleaves them for all to see.

As much as they may scare me,communal bathrooms have taughtme two lessons. Number one: thingsare not always going to be ideal.Wouldn’t it be nice if we each got ourown marble bathroom with a built-inJacuzzi? And at night, maybe littleKeebler elves could come and scrubthem clean.Instead, we get mildew-yshower stalls and abstract art made of hair.The trick is to make the best outof less-than-ideal situations, andwhen all else fails, laugh. Laugh atyourself, laugh at the ridiculouspredicaments you find yourself in,laugh until your stomach hurts.Whenyou’re done, things usually look atleast a little brighter.

The second lesson that Stanfordbathrooms have taught me? Always— and I do mean always— wearshower shoes.

Think it’s too soon to be making AmyWinehouse jokes? Tell Bianca at [email protected].

Early October. For us it’s atime of sunny weather,Stanford football and the

promise of a new year. For high

school seniors around the world,though, it’s a time to start thestressful college applicationprocess. In recent years, Stanfordhas alleviated much of the finan-cial stress inherent in the processby increasing the breadth of its fi-nancial aid program. But despitethese gains, international appli-cants with financial need still facediscrimination in the admissionsprocess. While Stanford is need-blind for domestic applicants, in-ternational admissions is need-aware, meaning an internationalapplicant’s financial status is fac-tored into his admissions decision.

Last year,The Daily’s EditorialBoard criticized this practice pri-

marily on the issue of fairness;it isnot fair to deny admission to qual-ified international applicantssolely because of their financialstatus. But this Board recognizesthat other concerns may trumpthis ideal. In admissions, what itoften comes down to is benefitsversus costs to the University as awhole. Accordingly, in examiningthe merits of a need-blind policyfor internationals, we must askhow said policy would benefit theUniversity.

In this case, the benefits areclear. Under the current need-aware system, qualified applicantswho would otherwise be accepted

are instead denied admission.Stan-ford thus misses out on their aca-demic and extracurricular talent,instead having to settle for lessqualified applicants who can affordthe tuition. Furthermore,the need-aware policy discourages many in-ternationals from applying to beginwith.Stanford has developed a rep-utation for not accepting interna-tionals with significant financialneeds. Whether this reputation isdeserved or not is beside the point.The reality is that Stanford loses in-ternational applicants to its need-blind peer schools — Harvard,Princeton, Yale, MIT, Dartmouthand Amherst. Although Stanforddoes admit exceptionally qualifiedinternational applicants in spite of financial need, it cannot admit

those who do not apply. In short,continuation of the need-awarepolicy results in a less qualified ap-plicant pool and a less qualified stu-

dent body.The need-aware policy also de-tracts from diversity on campus.With the current policy, studentsprimarily interact with wealthy in-ternationals. Often these studentshave relatively Western perspec-tives;many attended internationalschools,others travelled extensive-ly, some have spent considerabletime in the United States. Al-though wealthy international stu-dents do bring valuable perspec-tives to campus, there are morevoices to be heard. In an increas-ingly globalized age,it is importantfor all students to encounter peerswith upbringings radically differ-ent than their own. Many students

have some conception of what itmeans to be poor in America. Buthow many have an idea of what it’slike to grow up in a rural Chinesevillage or a lower class area of Mumbai? This University is com-mitted to the notion of educationoutside the classroom,and as suchputs great effort into creating a stu-dent body populated with mem-bers from a variety of socioeco-nomic backgrounds. This effortshould not stop at the U.S.border.

Of course, there is always thecost of accepting more studentswith financial need. A need-blindpolicy for internationals wouldlikely require a 10-percent in-

crease in the financial aid budget.But with Stanford’s multi-billiondollar endowment, it is more aquestion of willpower and priori-tizing than resources. PrincetonUniversity,for instance,was able toinstitute a need-blind policy de-spite enrolling more internationalstudents than Stanford, even whilehaving only a slightly larger en-dowment.

As it stands,there are no imme-diate plans to change the currentneed-aware policy for internation-als. That must change. A need-blind policy would result in a morediverse and talented student body,and it would confirm the Universi-ty’s ideal of providing access to stu-dents who deserve admission, re-gardless of background.

The Red Zone and

student football tickets

Dear Editor:The Red Zone serves as the heart

of Stanford Stadium’s energy and pas-sion on game day,driving our footballteam to greater heights in every homegame. The Department of Athleticsfirmly believes students represent thecore of our fan base,both today and inthe future.

For the 2011-12 season, StanfordAthletics has transitioned to a newstudent ticketing procedure for foot-ball games in anticipation of record-setting student demand.The capacityof the Red Zone has been increasedfor this season to include an addition-al three sections and now stretchesfrom section 102 to 111. Unfortunate-ly,there are simply not enough seatsto meet the demand from a passion-ate and dedicated student body andfan base.For example,the full alloca-

tion of student tickets for the UCLAgame was claimed within five hoursof becoming available last Tuesdayevening.The strong turnout and ener-gy in the Red Zone was overwhelm-ing on game day.

Our intention has been to create asimple and equitable system that fairlyserves all parties,but we welcome yourfeedback as we continue to refine theprocess.For complete information onthe student ticketing process, the RedZone Loyalty Point Program andother student-related questions,please visit www.gostanford.com/red-zone.All students are also encouragedto sign up for the Red Alert, StanfordAthletics’ weekly e-newsletter con-taining ticketing updates, promotions,giveaways,highlights and more,by vis-iting http://www.gostanford.com/ot

/redalert.html.Please Note:student tickets for the

game against Colorado will be re-leased at 9 p.m.on Tuesday,Oct. 4.

Palo Alto,firefighters

reach agreement


The Palo Alto Fire FightersUnion voted Friday in approval of anew labor contract with the city that

runs through June 30, 2014.The CityCouncil tentatively approved thecontract and is set to vote on it offi-cially Oct.17.

Many of the agreement’s provi-sions are derived from the city’sbudget woes.The contract is project-ed to save Palo Alto $1.1 million thisfiscal year and $1.5 million per yearstarting next July. Wages for fire-fighters will not increase for the du-

ration of the agreement except for atwo percent, cost-of-living increase;in fact, they will decrease by ninepercent to compensate for an in-crease in prior agreements.

The contract also eliminates thestaffing standard requiring that 29firefighters be on duty at any giventime.

“The firefighters are pleased tohave worked with the city to come toan agreement on a contract that willcover our terms of employment withthe city for the next three years,”saidTony Spitaleri, president of the PaloAlto Fire Fighters Union, in a press

release from the union.“In these tough economic times,

it is important that we do what wecan to make sure the city can meet itsfiscal responsibilities,”he continued.“Like all negotiations, both sidescame to compromise. We look for-ward to continuing to work with thecity to provide the best services tothe residents of Palo Alto.”

Compromises have also been

struck with regard to the firefighters’pension plans. Negotiations, whichbegan 16 months ago,reached an im-passe last February.

“I am pleased that we have beenable to reach agreement with ourFire Fighters Union after a long ne-gotiation period,” said Palo AltoMayor Sid Espinosa in the city’sstatement.“The city is not out of thewoods financially, but this agree-ment with the firefighters is a neces-sary step forward.”

Stanford launches

center to study senior

fraud


The University’s Center onLongevity and the FINRA InvestorEducation Foundation have jointlylaunched the interdisciplinary Re-search Center on the Prevention of

Financial Fraud, which will supple-ment work by law enforcement, thegovernment and research groups inunderstanding how Americans losemoney to fraud.

The center’s inaugural confer-ence, “The State and Future of Fi-nancial Fraud,” will be held Nov. 3and Nov.4 in Washington,D.C.

The Center on Longevity is in-cluded in the partnership as the eld-erly are frequent targets for fraud;however, according to the center’sfounding director LauraCarstensen, also a professor of psy-chology,all age groups and financialprofiles are at risk.

“Even people who did every-thing right are finding themselves insituations where those savings arebeing stolen,”she told the Stanford

Report.In fact, the elderly are often

caught in financial scams not be-cause of their vulnerability, but be-cause they are sometimes wea lthierthan other segments of the popula-tion. According to fraud expertDoug Shadel, the profiles of thosewho get caught in these schemes areoften counterintuitive.

“[A man] lost $40,000 [in an oil-and-gas scheme],but what was inter-esting about the guy is that he was astockbroker,” Shadel told the Stan-ford News Service. “You wouldn’tthink that of someone who day-inand day-out gives people adviceabout money.”

“We assumed that the peoplewho were defrauded were less finan-cially literate — wouldn’t you thinkso?” he continued.“It’s not the caseat all.”

He mentioned doctors, lawyersand company presidents as commonfraud victims.

The center has so far enumeratedthree purposes: consolidating infor-mation for academic use, communi-cating this research to policymakersand funding research.

The center is also developing psy-chological portraits of those whotend to fall for scams as those whoare “more open,” according toShadel.

“They’re more likely to readevery piece of mail they get, includ-ing junk mail,” he said.“They’re ex-posing themselves to the market-place.”

The center said it aims to addressthe concern that many individualsdo not admit they are fraud victimsbecause of shame, embarrassmentor denial. In a study of 723 victims,only 40 percent said they had lostmoney.

“It’s unknowable what the realstatistic is,”Shadel said.

FLiCKS SERIES 2011-12

WENDING LU/The Stanford Daily

The FLiCKS film series launched last night at 8 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium with a showing of Thor. The showings occurs on Sunday evenings andfeatures a variety of recent releases as well as a tradition of audience members throwing balls of ripped newspaper at each other throughout the film.

If we consider affirmative ac-tion a vehicle for righting pastwrongs or redressing the lingeringeffects of bygone discrimination,however, the logical landscapechanges a bit. Race, I think, is notnecessarily the most accurate oruseful proxy for disadvantage.Some African-American, Hispanicand Native-American familieshave happily broken through thewalls that were once (and,in manycases,are still) imposed on them bysociety. There are now a fair num-ber of doctors, engineers, lawyersand businesspeople of minoritydescent, and many of them haveprovided their children with a ter-rific education, a happy and stableupbringing and productive ex-tracurricular opportunities. If weconsider affirmative action ameans to help those in need, thesechildren do not require the sameassistance that their less fortunateminority compatriots do — or, for

that matter, less fortunate Cau-casian and Asian ones. Stampingall racial minorities, regardless of actual need,with the same badge isthus not a particularly efficient oreffective way to help.

A better and more finely tunedpolicy, if intended to balance anunbalanced playing field, wouldtake a family’s economic condi-tion, the employment status of theparents, the child’s quality of schooling and other relevant fac-tors into account,rather than race.Imagine a Venn diagram with twointersecting circles, one labeled“minority students” and the otherlabeled “students in need.” Thesecircles would overlap, but theywould not be equal in size or coter-minous.Now imagine a third circle,

labeled “students helped by affir-mative action.” I would proposethat a just policy must place thiscircle precisely over the “studentsin need” circle, capturing all mi-nority students (and white stu-dents) who need help and leavingout those, of whichever race, whodon’t.

Miles would welcome your com-ments or suggestions on this week’scolumn, as it is an especially contro-versial topic.Feel free to continue theconversation at [email protected].

In this week’s Stat on the Back,I’ll take a look at Stanford’s 45-19 win over UCLA.

Number of the game:1What it means: It may be the

loneliest number,but Stanford’s play-ers didn’t seem to need anything moreto make Catch of the Year 1A andCatch of the Year 1B.

How important was the numberone? Consider this: on the first driveof the first quarter, the Stanford de-fense stopped UCLA on the one-yardline.Then,on Stanford’s firstdrive,theCardinal used a one-handed catch bythe No.1player in the country (and fu-ture No.1 pick in the NFL Draft),An-drew Luck, and a one-handed catch

by Coby Fleener (who is No. 1 in thenation in touchdowns by a tight end)to get the firstpoints of the game.

Why it matters:Stanford was goingto beat UCLA on Saturday,even if theCardinal came out flat from its byeweek. More importantly, though,Stanford needed some signature playsto get the fans in the game early and tobolster the team’s confidence.

It’s hard to do much better onthose fronts than a goal-line stand onthe first series of the game followedimmediately by the aforementionedgrabs by Luck and Fleener. The de-fense looked more pumped up than ithad all year when it stuffed the Bruinsfour times from inside the five-yardline,and the crowd was louder than ithad been all year when the refereesoverturned the call of incomplete on

Luck’s catch.And while no one on the team orcoaching staff will admit to caringabout it,Luck’s catch definitely helpshis Heisman campaign.Don’t be sur-prised if you keep seeing his catchthroughout the season,just like CamNewton’s run through the LSU de-fense last year and DesmondHoward’s punt return and pose in1991.Last year,it was all about Luck’shits on Sean Cattouse and ShareeceWright.This year,it could be all abouthis one-handed catch.

Other notable numbers:200: For the third straight week,

Stanford broke the 200-yard markboth through the air and on theground, led by efficient games fromLuck (23-for-27 passing) and StepfanTaylor (17 carries for 112 yards and


Goalkeeper Emily Oliver posted two shutouts during the weekend roadtrip to keep the Cardinal unbeaten this season. Stanford took down Washing-ton and Washington State 1-0 each on late goals. Oliver came up with a huge save early in the overtime period. She has a .920 save percentage.

Luck,Fleenerlead #1s

By JOSEPH BEYDA DESK EDITOR

For nearly three years, conference play hasbeen anything but tough going for the No. 1Stanford women’s soccer team. But on a week-end where the squad had a chance to break therecord for the longest win streak in Pac-12 histo-ry, things got hairy for the Cardinal for the first

time in a long while.It took goals in

the 86th and 94thminutes in a pair of 1-0 wins to putStanford in therecord books, asthe Cardinal nar-rowly escaped Washington and WashingtonState to extend its conference win streak to 23games.

Stanford (11-0-1, 3-0 Pac-12) remains unde-feated on the season and has not lost in Pac-10(or -12) play since Oct. 2008.Yet as long as thatrun may seem,the bulk of the streak’s drama hascome over the past four days.

Before this weekend, the Cardinal hadoutscored its opponents by nearly three goalsper game during the streak,notched the winningtally by the 60th minute over 75 percent of the

time and been on the board by the 29th minuteon average.Only once did it take the team morethan 75 minutes to score its opening goal — in a

2009 match against the Washington St.Cougars,Stanford needed an 87th-minute goal by Chris-ten Press to send the game to overtime beforethe Cardinal could take the game 2-1 in the extraframe.

The team’s first trip back to Pullman, Wash.since that game was just as dangerous. Stan-ford outshot Washington State 22-6 — as op-posed to the 22-7 margin in 2009 — and, yetagain, nothing was finding the back of theCougars’ net.

But in the waning moments of the secondhalf, senior forward Lindsay Taylor — whosecross in 2009 found the head of then-teammateKelley O’Hara for the overtime winner in Pull-man — found herself at the center of the actiononce again. This time, however, she would betasked with finishing off the match, diving for aheader off a pass from senior Camille Levin forthe game winner at the 85:09 mark.

The Cardinal got off to an even slower starton Sunday at Washington, failing to get a shot off until 10 minutes into the match and going com-

pletely dry for two other extended periods in thefirst half alone.Stanford did have several qualityshots, including a 25th-minute header from sen-ior midfielder Kristy Zurmuhlen off the cross-bar, but the Huskies played physical defense tokeep the Cardinal from capitalizing on itschances from within the box.

Withstanding a late-second-half push fromStanford to send the game into overtime score-less,Washington — coming off a 1-1 tie with Calon Friday— looked poised to draw yet anothermatch with the tight defense that had halted theCardinal all afternoon.But just two minutes intothe first overtime period,Husky sophomore for-ward Hillary Zevenbergen found herself allalone in front of sophomore goalkeeper EmilyOliver, who came up with a game-saving stop onZevenbergen’s low shot.

After turning away the ensuing corner kick,Stanford pushed the ball upfield, and a crossfrom junior midfielder Mariah Nogueira foundsenior midfielder Teresa Noyola at the far post.Noyola’s header snuck through the defense toextend the Cardinal’s conference win streakwith the squad’s first overtime victory since a 2-1 decision over Georgia on Sept. 10,2010.

Stanford also continued its dominant defen-sive run,which includes a staggering 567 minutesand 26 seconds of game time since giving up itslast goal over a month ago.Oliver has been keyto that success, posting a stellar .920 save per-centage on the season to lead the Pac-12 in thatcategory.

She’ll have to be at the top of her game nextweekend, as Stanford faces its toughest two-

game test of the season against USC and UCLA.

FOOTBALL |Cruisingof 27 passes for 227 yards and threetouchdowns, mostly capitalizing onshort passes that kept the Cardinaloffense on the field for over 34 min-utes of game time.

Luck’s spectacular performancewith passing and receiving overshad-owed the Cardinal defense on Satur-day night, which (for the most part)didn’t miss a beat despite the loss of

junior linebacker Shayne Skov.The Cardinal defense did give upseason highs in rushing yards allowed,total yards allowed and points allowed,but that was mostly due to Stanford’sdefense setting the bar very high in thefirst three games of the season.Afteronly allowing 36 yards per gamethrough the first three matchups,UCLA’s Johnathan Franklin took 12carries for 96 yards to help the Bruinoffense to 141 yards on the ground,butthat didn’t mean the defense was left ina panic after the game.

“We stood up a lot of times whenwe needed to,but we definitely left alot of plays on the field,”said seniorsafety Michael Thomas.“Guys weredoing their jobs, but we just weren’tfinishing plays. So that’s just some-thing we have to work on.”

“[UCLA] ran the ball a lot, andwith all the misdirection in the of-fense, it blurs your vision for a sec-ond,”Shaw said.“I think our guys dida decent job of containing it, but[UCLA] still popped out a couple of long runs.”

Thomas also complemented jun-ior Jarek Lancaster and sophomoreAJ Tarpley (who combined for 10

tackles) for their efforts stepping upto fill in for the injured Skov at insidelinebacker.

“I’m proud of those guys. Theydid their job,and they played a hell of a game,”Thomas said.

Stanford’s defense set up the of-fense for success right from the startby stuffing the Bruins’ first drive of the night on the Cardinal one-yard

line,a start that Shaw said helped ig-nite the team on both sides of theball.

“It was huge,” he said.“When ithappened,for a split second I flashedback to my time in Baltimore, and[Ravens linebacker] Ray Lewis usedto always say,‘Opportunity for great-ness.When the ball’s on the one-yardline,it’s an opportunity for greatness.’And the guys stepped up to the chal-lenge and did a great job.”

The Cardinal then pounded out a16-play, eight-minute, 99-yard drivehighlighted not only by Luck’s butalso by tight end Coby Fleener’s one-handed touchdown catch.

“I knew Andrew was trying tomake me look bad with his one-handed catch,”Fleener cracked afterthe game.“So I felt like I had to one-

up him.”The Cardinal kept that pace up

for the rest of the game,as Luck and junior running back Stepfan Taylor,who rushed for 112 yards and twotouchdowns, kept the offense per-fectly in balance to combine for 442total yards, including 202 on theground.

Stanford used all of its consider-

able offensive firepower to score onits first four drives of the night before

finally being forced to punt for thefirst time in the third quarter. Luckand company authored five scoringdrives of 59 yards or more when allwas said and done.

Shaw said that he was pleasedwith his offense’s effort and particu-larly with his quarterback,who drovea new, speedy, no-huddle offense atseveral points during the game.

“[The no-huddle offense] is reallysomething we worked on the entire

offseason,and this was the game thatwe were going to start doing it,”Shawsaid.“We just put the formation outthere and let Andrew call the play.It’s not coming from the sideline, it’scoming from him on the field.Whenwe’re in the no-huddle, he’s callingthe plays.“

And despite his new receiver’shighlight-reel catch, Shaw didn’t

foresee going back to Luck to catchany more passes this season. “We

won’t come back to it again thisyear,”he said. “We kind of like whathe does at quarterback.”

The Cardinal will return homethis weekend for another Pac-12matchup against the Colorado Buf-faloes at 4:30 p.m.on Saturday,Oct. 8.

Andrew Luck (holding ball) showed poise in the pocket against the Bruins. Luck threw for 227 yards and three touch-downs and snagged a 13-yard pass with an acrobatic one-handed catch. The redshirt junior quarterback calledhis own plays from the line for the first time this season, as the Cardinal rolled up 442 yards of total offense.

The men’s soccer team had a dis-appointing start to the Pac-12 sea-son, dropping a tight 1-0 match inthe conference opener Friday atSan Diego State before fadingslightly in the second half of a 2-0loss to No. 25 UCLA Sunday after-noon.

Stanford (3-6-1, 0-2 Pac-12)started off the season in a slightfunk, struggling to find a groove onthe road against some very toughopponents — including a nationallytelevised matchup at No. 1 Mary-land.But the Cardinal had won twostraight matches before hitting theroad for San Diego,and coach BretSimon was optimistic that the teamwas beginning to hit its stride in

time for the conference season.MEN’S SOCCER

UCLA 2

10/2, Los Angeles

In the first half of Friday after-noon’s game against San DiegoState (7-1-2,2-0), Stanford certainlyplayed well.Both teams had plentyof scoring chances — the Card tookfour corners in the span of two min-utes in the first half — but neitherside could break through.

It looked like Stanford might geton the board first when junior mid-fielder Adam Jahn forced Aztecgoalie Blake Hylen to make a save

just minutes into the second half.But instead,San Diego State founda seam in the Cardinal defense, andAta Ozbay knocked a 25-yard shotpast the diving Jason Dodson forthe only goal of the game in the52nd minute.

The Aztecs stayed on the attackfor much of the second half,control-ling the tempo and mustering upseveral more scoring opportunities,but a late surge by Stanford sentSan Diego State’s defense scram-bling.Jahn hit the crossbar on a freekick in the 85th minute, and fresh-man forward Zach Batteer had oneof his four shots on goal saved soonafter.But the equalizer never mate-rialized despite 11 second-half shots,including six on goal.

Against UCLA (7-3-1, 2-0) on

Sunday, the Cardinal again struggledto finish its chances,particularly early.Stanford had the game’s first fourshots — senior Garrett Gunther hitthe crossbar in the 24th minute— butnothing came of it, and the teamswent to halftime scoreless.

That’s when the Bruins got theiract together.

In the 53rd minute, 2010 Pac-10Freshman of the Year Kelyn Rowemade a nifty play to set up RyanHollingshead for the go-ahead goal,which was followed by a penaltykick converted by UCLA’s AndyRose after a Cardinal foul in thebox.

Dodson was forced into actionmultiple times, making six saves inthe second half, and the offensenever quite got into gear before thefinal whistle.

Stanford gets a bit of a reprievethis week with just one match —they will host California on Sunday— but just eight games remain be-fore the NCAA selection commit-tee will set the NCAA Tournamentfield, and the Cardinal has somework to do in order to be one of the32 teams selected.

uate, section-teaching staff is key to

running the class.”Unlike most Stanford under-

graduate courses,CS106A is taughtby professors and graduate-studentteaching assistants (TAs) as well asundergraduate students who leaddiscussion sections every week.TAsdeal mostly with logistical aspects of the course and occasionally fill infor lecturers when needed. Mean-while, the undergraduate sectionleaders are responsible for teachinga small section — approximately 10students — and grading assign-ments and tests.

Undergraduates who are inter-ested in leading section for intro-ductory CS courses are required toapply to the position and enroll inCS198, a workshop offered by thedepartment intended to teach sec-tion leaders how to teach and grade.Only students who have completedthe CS106 series — by either taking106A/106B or 106X — are eligibleto lead sections.

Section leader Tom Schmidt ‘14says he applied to the program lastwinter and has taught CS106A andCS106B sections every quartersince.

“I plan to stay with the CS198program for as long as I’m at Stan-ford,” Schmidt said. “It’s a wonder-ful initiative with some very brightpeople.”

Schmidt also notes that theCS198 program is “very deeply in-tertwined with the CS Depart-ment.”

“All of the 106 lecturers come to

our Monday meetings and are ex-

tremely supportive and open tofeedback,”he said.“We have barbe-ques from time to time,and they areoften held at professors’ houses.”

The CS106 professors seemequally appreciative for the supportfrom their section leaders.

“One of the challenges is notonly recruiting students into theteaching program, but also havingthem stay in the program and teachfor multiple quarters,”Sahami said.

The CS106A teaching staff pre-sented various theories as to whyenrollment has skyrocketed.

“The factors of economic oppor-tunity are very real,” Sahami said.“The high-tech economy is doingvery well compared to the regulareconomy.There is a growing realiza-tion of the power of computing andan element of self-empowerment.Students can see more directly theircontribution to technology, andthey understand they have theknowledge to use their own toolsthemselves.”

Schmidt said that CS is “boom-ing for a variety of reasons,”includ-ing the rapid expansion of the Sili-con Valley and the flood of job op-portunities that await Bay Areaprogrammers.

“It seems like computer scienceis sexy again,” Schmidt said.“Start-up life has been glorified in themedia, and stories like Facebook’sscrappy dorm-room beginnings orApple’s huge comeback have a cer-tain appeal for people. It has beensaid before, but I would agree that‘The Social Network’ and similarpieces of media brought program-ming and ‘hacking’ back into thelimelight — and infused them witha bit of sex appeal.”

two touchdowns). Of the 24 comple-tions, 10 different players caught apass.Head coach David Shaw preach-es balance at least as much as JimHarbaugh did, and he won’t be satis-fied with a one-dimensional team,nomatter how strong that dimension is.How’s Stanford doing balance-wise?The Cardinal ranks 31st in the nationin rushing and 32nd in passing.That’sa balanced offense. Stanford ranksseventh in scoring offense and sixth inscoring defense. That’s a balancedteam.

141:Stanford allowed 141 rushingyards to UCLA. In the first threegames of the season combined, theCardinal gave up only 108 rushingyards.Was the run defense that bad?

No. Was the run defense really thatgood for the first three weeks? No.Stanford held UCLA well below itsseason average on the ground, butthere were still several gaping holesfor Johnathan Franklin right up themiddle. Most likely, Stanford won’troutinely give up over 140 rushingyards per game,but it also won’t holdmany teams below 40.Most teams inthe Pac-12 rely more heavily on thepassing game,so the running numberswill probably end up halfway be-tween these two numbers.

3:A big reason why Stanford hadless success stopping the run was itsinability to tackle Bruin rushers be-hind the line.The Cardinal had onlythree tackles for loss on Saturdayafter leading the nation with 31 in itsfirst three games. Yet again, theUCLA offensive line was better thanthe other lines Stanford has faced, soit’s not surprising the numbers wentdown.

Still, every team in the country av-erages more than three tackles forloss, so the lack of big-play defense issomewhat worrisome.The defense isone of just three teams without an in-terception this year, so the big playshave to come from tackles behind theline. With the loss of Shayne Skov,Stanford will be without its best big-play defender for the rest of the year.The rest of the team needs to pick upthe slack.

8:What makes three tackles for aloss not seem so bad? When your of-fense has allowed only eight tacklesfor a loss all season.The offensive linehas shown some holes at times, butwhen you have the fewest negativeplays of any team in the country,yourline must be doing something right.

22:Stanford has gotten to the redzone 22 times this season. Every oneof those times,the Cardinal has comeaway with points. That’s the best of any team in the country. When youdon’t turn it over (one turnover allseason,best in the country) and yourkicker doesn’t miss (JordanWilliamson is 7-for-7),you become al-most impossible to stop.

12:The winning streak continues.

On the availability of Art Department offerings

Dear Editor,The publication last week of

Jamie Solomon’s column,“On theMargins, Between the Lines: TheArt Department hates me,”shinedlight on a problem that,from a cer-tain perspective, seems to be borneof success.The picture might be de-scribed as follows: Interest in thevisual and performing arts hasbeen gaining momentum amongStanford students for years. It hasbeen nurtured by the University’sArts Initiative and the Stanford In-stitute for Creativity and the Arts.Thanks to the Arts Initiative, thisinterest is also taking palpableform in a new arts district aroundthe Cantor Arts Center, with theconstruction of the Bing ConcertHall, the future McMurtry Build-ing for the Department of Art &Art History and the Anderson Col-lection at Stanford University,all of which will increase the arts oppor-tunities on campus.

Given the attention that hasbeen focused in recent years on howthe arts might play a more signifi-cant role in the educational experi-ence of all Stanford undergradu-ates, it is gratifying to see increasingdemand for courses in art practice.However, at times it has been diffi-cult to adapt existing spaces andprocedures to accommodate all stu-dents who wish to take introductorycourses that involve hands-on prac-tice and individual attention.

The fact of the matter is thatsmall courses taught by Stanford’soutstanding arts practitioners mayalways be oversubscribed— I know

from colleagues that this can be aproblem with popular courses inother fields as well. For this reason,arts programs and departmentsneed to develop mechanisms to en-sure that students will not be repeat-edly turned away. Once might beunderstandable, a second timewould be unfortunate, but threetimes (or more!) is simply not ac-ceptable.

What are we doing today to en-sure that Jamie Solomon’s experi-ence will not be repeated? In theArt & Art History Department, weare reviewing our waitlist proce-dures and working to develop acomputer-based system that willtrack students who plan to major,minor, or simply wish to take acourse in some aspect of Art Prac-

tice. We are committed to devisingbetter means of advising whichcourses are likely to top out and di-recting students to enroll in alterna-tives where space is available. Weare also continuing to explore howto increase usage of our classrooms,which in the past has sometimes al-lowed us to double or even triple of-ferings during a single quarter in themost sought-after media — photog-raphy, for example.

Space continues to be a tremen-dous challenge and, therefore, welook forward to our move to the newMcMurtry Building where we antici-pate having better storage facilitiesand greater studio classroom flexibili-ty. Efforts are also underway to in-crease the capacity for student arts-practice opportunities in the resi-dence halls and other facilities aroundcampus.All of these steps will help en-sure that students like Jamie Solomonknow they are not hated but insteadwelcomed by all of Stanford’s artsprograms,and particularly the Art &Art History Department.
