The Stanford Law School Immigrants Rights Clin-ic, the National Immigration Law Center and other im-

migration rights advocacy groups collaborated on a re-port titled Deportation without Due Process,

which was published last September.Jayashri Srikantiah, law professor and

director of the Stanford ImmigrantsRights Clinic, said the report hoped to

draw attention to the federalprocess of stipulated removal.

Through the stipulated re-moval program,which was initi-ated in the early 2000s, immi-

grants held in detentioncould sign off an order for

their own deportationwithout a hearing withan immigration judgebeforehand. Accordingto the report, these im-

migrants are often eitherunaware of what other

legal options they may haveor are not informed of theorders true implications.

Srikantiah said the pro-gram was first revealed at a li-

aison meeting three years ago.We had heard at one of the

informal meetings between ad-vocates and the immigration au-

thorities that there would be a newprogram that was being rolled out,Srikantiah said.Thats all we heard

that there would be a new pro-gram and it would be called stipu-lated removal.

DIR fails inSenate voteTues.night

By BRENDAN OBYRNEDESK EDITOR

The Division of Internal Review(DIR) faced a major setback at theUndergraduate Senate meetingTuesday night;a bill to establish thegroup also failed after more than anhour of debate.

The DIR, a brainchild of ASSUExecutive Michael Cruz 12, is in-tended to evaluate ASSU Execu-tive and Senate initiatives,as well asmonitor how the groups which re-ceive ASSU spending use thatmoney. The bill failed to pass the

Senate due to a controversial confi-dentiality clause, as well as dis-agreements over the scope and lan-guage of the bill.

Major problems within the billwere that it contained vague lan-guage about the scope of theDIR, as well as a clause that al-lowed it to keep certain informa-tion confidential,whi ch is prohib-ited by the ASSU constitutionand bylaws.

Senator Alon Elhanan 14 ar-gued this point and questioned whythe bill had such a clause at all.

Senator Ben Laufer 12 also ar-gued that the scope of the DIR waspoorly defined.In a tense exchange,Laufer and bill author Appropria-tions Chair Brianna Pang 13 en-

gaged in a back-and-forth overwhether Laufer agreed with the in-tention of the DIR, and then overwhat specific issues he took with thebill.

Acting Senate Chair Dan Ash-ton 14 sought to curb discussionafter an hour; however, argumentspersisted for another 30 minutes asthe Senate was unable to agree onDIRs role and the specific lan-guage of the bill.

After the Senate took a 10-minute recess to make adjustments,a modified bill was then discussed.The new wording of the billchanged the DIR from a one-yearprogram to a one-quarter pilot pro-gram. However,this final bill faileda vote,nine for and five against.

The bill was then tabled for fur-

ther discussion and voting nextweek.Bill author Pang 13 said in an in-

terview after the meeting that theconfidentiality clause was includedto prevent disclosure of financial in-formation that would be sensitive,such as credit card information oraccount numbers.

However as the bill is currentlywritten, the DIR has access to alldocuments that any student wouldhave,which is all ASSU documentsthat dont contain sensitive finan-cial information. The bill doesntallow the DIR to view documentsthat any other student would nothave the ability to view.

Stanford plans ajoint program

By IVY NGUYENMANAGING EDITOR

Stanford University, the City Uni-versity of New York (CUNY) and CityCollege of New York (CCNY) an-nounced Tuesday morning the creationof Stanford@CCNY, a joint ventureserving as an East Coast test site for

Stanfords undergraduate program inentrepreneurship, technology and re-lated areas.

More commonly known as City Col-lege,a senior college within the CUNYschool system,CCNYs partnership withStanford is part of the Universitys re-sponse to city Mayor MichaelBloombergs call for a top-quality engi-neering and applied sciences campus inNew York City.

The conversation exploring the possi-bility of collaboration with CCNY beganin July when New York City issued its re-quest for proposal (RFP) for an appliedsciences campus,according to Universityspokeswoman Lisa Lapin in an email toThe Daily. School of Engineering DeanJim Plummer and University PresidentJohn Hennessy visited CCNY lastmonth to further explore the possibility

of a partnership,Lapin said.Lapin added that CCNY will not be

partnering with the University in its pro-posal to build a campus on Roosevelt Is-land.

While this collaboration withCCNY is the first NYC-based partner-ship that the University has announcedsince it declared an interest in submit-ting a proposal to build the applied sci-ences campus, Lapin said that the pos-sibility of partnering with other institu-tions remains open.

website.Line 132 runs from Milpitas to SanFrancisco and crosses Stanford prop-erty when it follows Page Mill Road,Junipero Serra Boulevard, a cornerof the golf course and Sand Hill Roadto reach I-280. Stanford PG&E cus-tomers who might be affected by thetest were sent a letter by the utilitiescompany.

You may smell gas during thisprocess and at other points duringtesting work, the letter stated.Thisis safe and expected.

In addition to the natural gas

odor,you may hear noise associatedwith testing activities and see PG&Efield teams in your neighborhood,the letter said. Our crew may usetraffic safety cones and/or detoursigns, testing equipment such asabove-ground pipes and valves ormachinery such as excavators orwater tanks.

California state regulators re-quired PG&E to perform this pres-sure testing on all sections of pipeline

that have no documented test resultsfollowing the 2010 San Bruno gaspipeline explosion that resulted in 38destroyed homes and eight deaths.According to investigators, the inci-dent resulted from an electrical glitchin a Milpitas gas-line terminal thatraised the lines gas pressure.

PG&E is also working on rebuild-ing a pipeline crossing at San Francis-quito Creek. Recent rains have de-layed the scheduled completion dateby two weeks.

on alcoholism,studying the biologicaleffects of alcohol and helping to explainthe mechanisms behind tolerance forand dependence on the drug. In 1981,the Research Society on Alcoholismhonored her with its Award of Scientif-ic Excellence,and in 1992,she receivedthe Jellinek Memorial Award, giveneach year to an individual who hasmade a substantial advancement to thefield of alcohol studies.

In addition to her scholarly re-search,she blazed a path for women in

medicine she was accepted to Har-vard Medical School in the schoolsfirst class of women and was in-volved in both civil rights and gayrights movements. In the 1960s, sheserved as vice president of her localNAACP chapter,and in the 1990s, shewas on the national board of Parentsand Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

Stanford takes part in

energy-efficiency

challenge

By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

Stanford committed to help raise$65 million along with 31 other high-er-education institutions as part ofthe Billion Dollar Green Challenge,which was launched publicly on Tues-day at the Association for the Ad-vancement of Sustainability in High-er Education (AASHE) Conferencein Pittsburgh.This pot of money willbe invested in energy-efficient proj-ects,called green revolving funds.

According to a statement on theorganizations website,the challengewas inspired by a report publishedlast February by the Sustainable En-dowments Institute, which showedthat existing green revolving fundshave had a 32-percent median annu-al return of investment.

The Billion Dollar Green Chal-lenge asks our higher education sys-tems to invest in green revolvingfunds to support the campus sustain-ability movement, AASHE execu-tive director Paul Rowland said in astatement. AASHE supports TheChallenge in that these funds willhelp institutions become more sus-tainable and will help the higher edu-cation community understand thecommitment they are making to ajust and sustainable future.

Stanford will join other institu-tions such as Harvard University,Dartmouth College and ArizonaState University. Harvard is rollingover a $12 million Green Loan Fund,which was established in 1992 andhad an average annual return on in-

vestment of 29.9 percent.The goal of the Challenge, as itsname implies, is for a cumulativeamount of $1 billion to be eventually in-vested into these green revolving funds.

Fahmida Ahmed,associate direc-tor at Stanfords Office of Sustain-ability, said in the statement that theUniversitys fund has already fi-nanced over 200 small and large effi-ciency projects on campus, with anaverage, simple payback period ofjust four years.

Bone marrow drive

IAN GARCIA-DOTY/The Stanford Daily

John Ryan 14, Victor Em 13 and Andrew Kim 12 volunteered at a bone marrow drive Tuesday afternoon in White Plaza with the hope of finding a matchfor Amit Gupta, founder of the photography site Photojojo who was diagnosed a few weeks ago with leukemia. 55 people registered during the drive.

with potential partners, and thoseconversations continue; so we donot rule out that we might have ad-ditional collaborations with otherinstitutions, Lapin said.

The CUNY partnership is sepa-rate from the Universitys propos-al to build a graduate applied sci-ence campus on Roosevelt Islandof New York City.The Universi ty,which proposes to expand thecampus to eventually accommo-date 100 faculty and 2,000 stu-dents, will submit an official pro-posal to the New York City Eco-nomic Development Corporationby Oct. 28.The city will make a de-cision by the end of the calendaryear.

Though the collaboration beganin response to the applied sciencescampus RFP, Lapin said that the fu-ture of the Stanford@CCNY part-nership remains independent ofStanfords bid.

The undergraduate curriculumwill start right away, and we antici-pate it will be a longstanding collab-oration, regardless of the success ofour applied sciences bid, Lapinsaid. We would look forward to along and fruitful association withCCNY and CUNY.

Should Stanfords proposal for aNew York campus be accepted,Stanford@CCNY will offer jointBA/MA and BS/MS programs cre-ated by faculty from both schools.Some CCNY students will be ableto pursue a co-terminal MS degree

from Stanford along with their BSdegree from CCNY.

Stanford would offer its academ-ic program at CCNY until late 2016,when the proposed New York cam-pus would be completed. Stanfordwould renovate and temporarilyuse up to 20,000 square feet of class-room space at CCNY and space for

up to 20 Stanford faculty.After this point, CUNY and

CCNY would retain permanentuse of the renovated facilities.Pres-ident Hennessy has not yet com-mented on what would happenshould another school be awardedthe right to build the applied sci-ences campus.

The total cost this venture wouldincur to Stanford has yet to be de-termined, but Lapin said that work-ing in CCNY space is idealfor thetwo schools.

There are costs and also sav-ings, and additional non-monetarybenefits to both Stanford andCCNY,she said.If we were to rentand configure temporary space any-where in the vicinity of Manhattan,there would be a cost.

Under this collaboration, theUniversity will also host CCNY stu-dents each summer in its ResearchExperience for Undergraduates

Program. Another project, Stan-ford@CCNYs innovation pro-gram,is being funded by a five-year,$10 million grant from the NationalScience Program to Stanfords Tech-nology Venture Program, Lapinsaid.

We believe there is tremen-dous potential through our part-nership with CUNY to bring Stan-fords curriculum to some of thebest and brightest students in NewYork and to help them go on tomake significant economic contri-butions to New York City and NewYork State, Hennessy told theStanford Report.

City College is located inHarlem on the island of Manhattanand has a 35-acre campus spanning11 blocks from 130th Street to 141st

Street on Convent Avenue. It is theoldest of CUNYs 23 colleges anduniversities.

NARRATIVE

Santiago,quelindo!

FEATURES

By ERIKA ALVERO KOSKIDESK EDITOR

Boarding the flight to Lima,Peru that would ul-timately connect to Santiago, I realized I wasin a much different part of San Francisco In-ternational Airport than the little Southwestcranny I usually passed through after my va-

cations. I was unsure which language to speak, but as Ipassed through the gate,I felt as though I were crossing

a border.And by the time I reached my seat,I knew thatSpanish was the optimal choice for blending in.I told myself that I chose the Espaol option when

watching Pirates of the Caribbeanand Yes! Manonmy flight to practice my Spanish,but secretly the reasonwas that I didnt want to be labeled as a gringa by myLatino seatmate or the stewardess when the subtitlesappeared. I dont think either of them was fooled.

After a seven-hour nighttime sojourn in Lima and asecond flight, I finally landed in Santiago, where I wasgreeted with extensive paperwork and confusion at thecustoms gate.

The customs officer spoke impeccable English, butmy ineptitude at international travel and tendency to getflustered at all the wrong times threw me off anyway.Outside taxi drivers clamped onto new arrivals andhawked their services with impressive determination.Fellow Stanford student Susha Roy 13 and I found ourway to the recommended shuttle service and departed

for the hotel where orientation would take place.Walking the streets of Santiago for the first few days

was an experiment in self-consciousness. Chileans ap-peared to be quite a heterogeneous mixture of people,and so why shouldnt a group of Americans easily blendin? But that wasnt to be,as the cultural nuances of pos-ture,dress code and most importantly,language, are im-possible to disguise.

Marching by in our 28-person contingent, chattingand laughing loudly in English,we may as well as havehad the word extranjeros (foreigners) stamped acrossour foreheads.The more fashionably dressed and Span-ish-speaking Chileans hurrying along the sidewalksgave us knowing looks as we passed, sometimes evengrinning and chuckling to their companions as they no-ticed our conspicuous group.

Ringing the doorbell of my soon-to-be apartmenthome, the door was flung open by a small,merry-look-ing woman with huge brown eyes, setting off the tinkleof the wind chimes attached to the handle.Exclaiming indelight, my new host mother showered me with wel-come besitos (kisses) and led me to my room, laughingall the way.

My room was small and bright, and best of all, ledoutside to a balcony overlooking an energetic alley andfacing another apartment building. The walls of the ad-

jacent apartment were white, just like those of mine,

OPINIONS

One of the most difficult parts of

job searching as a Stanfordstudent is finding something

that makes you feel like your time atStanford was worth it. Because we allwork so hard, theres this immensepressure to do something amazingand academic with your education,and then win a Nobel Prize for itand then win a Pulitzer Prize for thebook you write about winning theNobel Prize.Dont get me wrong alife in academia is meaningful and ful-filling.Its just not for everyone.Whatultimately makes people happy isdoing what they love, and that mightnot be anything academic. So thisweek, Im going to suggest a careeroutside of the proverbial academicbox that is rewarding, completely le-

gitimate and more than anything,a lotof fun.

This weeks topic: the beer ci-cerone.

I fully believe that a hobby can be-come a career, and one of the mostpopular hobbies on campus is drink-ing beer.So for those of you who enjoyyour occasional (or not so occasional)brewski, listen up: you could spendyour life getting paid to drink beer andtell people if its good or not.Now this

might come as quite a shock to the fratboys on campus,but beer can actuallytaste good.And when paired with theright food,it can taste really good.As abeer cicerone essentially a winesommelier, but for beer it will beyour job to identify these good beers(hint: Natty Light is not one of them)and share these opinions with the restof the beer-loving world.

The life of a beer cicerone is not justone of drinking tons and tons of beer,although you will get to do that as well.Cicerones get to travel around theworld,tasting different local beers andattending various culinary festivals.Because part of a cicerones job de-scription involves pairing beer withfood,you also get to enjoy the world offine dining. Most cicerones, like their

sommelier counterparts, choose towork in the restaurant industry,wheretheir knowledge is increasingly in de-mand as beer becomes an ever-moreimportant aspect of the culinaryworld.

The Cicerone Certification Pro-gram was started in 2008 in responseto this growing interest in finer beersand the art of brewing. Beer is nowappreciated as a complicated bever-age with many varieties and taste lev-

els and is most often notserved out ofa keg.Some even say beer is the newwine the food pairings are just asexact, the flavor descriptions just aselaborate and the snobs just as snob-by.And unlike wine, beer is the alco-hol least affected by the current eco-nomic downturn, making it the bestplace to be if youre going into the al-cohol industry (or should I say, re-maining in the industry) post-gradua-tion. In fact, this is such a new fieldthat there are only 210 certified ci-cerones and three master cicerones inthe world. Three. Just for compari-sons sake,there are 180 master som-meliers worldwide. This should give

you some indication of just how manyjob opportunities there will be for thefourth master cicerone.

But you cant just go to a bar,ordera beer and call yourself a cicerone.The certification process is exhaus-tive and involves three levels of certi-fication. The first is a certified beerserver,of which there are over 5,000worldwide;this also requires the least

JOBBERISH

This Buds for you

One of the reasons I chose towrite a column for The Stan-ford Daily is that too often I

feel that my voice has been silencedat Stanford; so, the idea of having aplatform where I can openly saywhat I think without being inter-rupted or overpowered by dissent-ing opinions is appealing (albeitscary). This may seem like a boldstatement to make,especially if youknow me, because I am someonewho freely shares my opinions withothers.However, I do not always actthis way; Im often quiet in new sit-uations until Ive gained a feel forthe space and people and have anidea of the ways in which Im al-lowed to behave. In spaces like theclassroom or with people that Im

not that close to, Im frequentlypretty quiet even if theres a lot run-ning through my mind.In those sit-uations its not that I dont have alot to say, its just that my opinionsare not as welcome and are less like-ly to be listened to.

Im sure a lot of you can relate tothe feeling of staying quiet evenwhen you have things to say. I want

to use this column to explore this not as an artifact of my individualpersonality (which in many cases itis), but as part of a larger processthat happens on this campus. Theprocess of silencing others is subtleand often not apparent to thosewho do not experience it or who areperpetrating it.I want to talk abouthow this has happened to me to tryto raise awareness of how it hap-pens and to encourage students tothink about how they may be mini-mizing the voices of others.

My experience is mostly relatedto my gender, and although peo-ples voices are silenced on campusfor a variety of reasons, I can onlyshare my personal experiences. Itdoesnt happen through people

telling me that Im a stupid girl withnothing useful to say; instead, Ivebeen told that my opinions are notas welcome with subtle messagessent through social pressures, com-pounded experiences and societalexpectations.

Ive been in numerous classes inwhich, during group presentations,the men overrun the presentations

and, when taking questions after-wards,the guys in the group alwaysseem to have something to say in re-sponse. I become drowned out intheir rush to answer and cant get aword in.

When people raise their handand talk in lecture, they are judged.Because of this, I dont often speakup in class (nobody likes being

judged, but women are taught toplace a higher premium on likabili-ty). So unless Im aware that lots ofother people also share my ques-tion, Im not that likely to raise myhand and ask it. Instead,I go talk tothe teacher after class.

At lunchtime conversations withmembers of my dorm, Ive oftenhad the ideas that I bring up vehe-

mently argued down.I dont like ar-guing (and women are censuredwhen they are aggressive), so Iwould much rather give up to avoidan argument than stick it out to con-vince everyone that I am right.

Ive been in groups where Imake a suggestion for how to pro-ceed and it flies by under the radar.A few minutes later a guy will make

the same suggestion and the groupwill take it up and begin discussingit. This is not an experience that isunique to me; sociology papershave been written on this phenome-non.

So yes, in a very literal sense,noone is silencing me because I am theone choosing to keep quiet: I ambeing passive when I could be as-sertive,I am deferring to others andI am neglecting to speak up. How-ever, I am not making this choice ina vacuum. I am penal ized

judged, looked down upon, talkedabout and ignored when I speaktoo loudly or monopolize conversa-tions, fight for my place and myvoice to be heard.

So what do we do about this?

Ive been following much of thenews about the Occupy Wall Streetmovement. One of the things thatIve found most intriguing is theparticipants use of an idea calledthe progressive stack. When peo-ple have opinions to voice,they getin line (the stack) and wait to talk.However, in a progressive stack,people do not speak in a first-come,

first-served basis; people get tospeak in an order that amplifies thevoices of traditionally marginalizedpopulations.Women and minoritiesare moved to the front and men,es-pecially white men, are asked towait before they can speak.

This is an idea that Stanfordcould use a little more of.There arelots of events and organizations inwhich encouraging members ofmarginalized populations to speakup more would add to the ability ofthe organization to serve all of itsmembers. In terms of our daily in-teractions and lives, this cannot beliterally implemented,but it is still avaluable concept to keep in mind.

By trying to progressively stackour daily interactions and directingour attention to members of mar-ginalized populations more often,maybe we can find ways to listenbetter to those being ignored.

Faulty priorities

Students who choose to explorecampus will notice manychanges to the built environ-

ment around them. From the state-of-the-art Knight Management Cen-ter, to the award-winning ArrillagaFamily Dining Commons, to thelong-awaited Bing Concert Hall,am-bitious new construction has re-shaped the University. Living as wedo in an area prone to major earth-quakes,it should please all membersof the Stanford community to knowthat these new buildings are planned

to withstand the worst shaking thatthe San Andreas Fault has to offer.However, it is somewhat less com-forting to know that older structuresknown to be seismically unsoundhave been allowed to stand. Beforethe next time Stanford decides to re-place the palm trees in front of theArrillaga Alumni Center as it did lastsummer,the University should makecertain that all of its structures areprepared for the inevitable quakethat will one day rock the campus.

The most conspicuous buildingknown to be unsafe in the event of anEarthquake is Meyer Library. Dat-ing from 1966, the library continuesto serve as a focal point of academiclife at the University despite beingdeclared seismically unsound in2007. Demolition of the library was

scheduled for 2012, but in the inter-vening years,the University failed tomake a decision regarding the futurelocation of the material currently re-siding in Meyers East Asia Library.Though nothing has been set instone, the University has achievedsomething of a consensus that theEast Asia Library will move to a newhome in the Graduate School ofBusiness South building. Unfortu-nately, assuming that the Board ofTrustees approves the move, the newspace will not be ready until at least2014. Demolition of Meyer librarycannot even be scheduled beforethat date. Even if demolition pro-ceeds quickly after Meyers contentsare relocated, nearly a decade willhave passed between the study thataffirmed Meyers seismic vulnerabil-

ity and the time when the building nolonger endangers its patrons.

Another notable structure thatcould present danger in the event ofan earthquake is Searsville Dam, lo-cated far to the Southwest of themain campus in Stanfords JasperRidge Biological Preserve. Con-structed over a century ago,the damwithstood the major earthquakes in1906 and 1989 with only a few finger-sized cracks appearing in the moresevere 1906 quake that provedharmless and easily repaired. Judg-

ing from its past success and a recentseismological study touting its struc-tural integrity,the risk from the damdoes not stem from complete col-lapse, but from something rathermore mundane.

Searsville Lake,the reservoir cre-ated by Searsville Dam,has been fill-ing with silt since its construction.The reservoir is now between 90 and95 percent silt, with the majority ofthat accumulating during earth-quakes and extremely heavy rains.Alarge earthquake could completelyfill the reservoir with silt within ayear, with unpredictable conse-quences for communities down-stream. Proposals have been floatedfor removing the dam and for dredg-ing the silt, but thus far debate overthose options has been inconclusive.

Whichever solution to the siltingquestion is decided on, it will be fareasier and likely cheaper as well to implement it over a longer timeframe than would be available if anearthquake were to force decisionmakers hands.

Decisions to demolish, retrofit orconstruct buildings should never bemade lightly. Nevertheless, the longdelays that have accompanied debateover the futures of Meyer Libraryand Searsville Dam have put safetyand property in jeopardy.Though lessglamorous than a new concert hall,eliminating the aforementionedthreats must be done in a timely fash-ion.Stanford has been on the cuttingedge of both earthquake science andearthquake preparedness fordecades.Lets keep it that way.

Graffiti on the walls of Santiago reminds passersby of the recent wave of student protests for comprehensive education re-form and demands for quality free education, profit-free private schools and a revised education-loan system.

SANTIAGO Continued from page 3

with curtains of flowers draping off parallel balconies andcolorful pinwheels spinning in the light breeze. Already Iwas excited to sit and read outside on my own balcony . . .or throw water balloons at the people three floors down,asmy 11-year-old host brother Julio suggested.

Aqu la gente le gusta vivir mucho, said Man,my hostmother.Here the people like to live.

I think Mans favorite word is lindo, or beautiful. The

days arelindo

, Chile islindo

, the people arelindo

, life islindo.Its an infectious exuberance - and I find it not only inMan but outside in the streets, at the parks dotted withcouples and spurting fountains,at the Brazilian dance class-es on the way up the winding Cerro San Cristbal road.

The university sector is vibrant,students lounge about inrestaurants or bars, dressed in neon colors and floral pat-terns as summer approaches. In testimony to the recentprotests,passionate quotes against the privatization of edu-cation span a nearby wall.Swirls of graffiti on the same walldepict skulls eating pencils and books alongside a manwalking backwards the students argue that the currenteducation systems are steps backwards for the government.

From my humble perspective as a foreign observer,Santiago is not a city that encourages passivity, but onethat embraces passion and amor(love) of the vida linda(beautiful life).

According to Jennifer Koh, leadauthor of the report and formerteaching fellow at the Law School,the Immigrants Rights Clinic thendecided to file a Freedom of Infor-mation Act request to obtain infor-mation about the program. Theirrequest was denied,prompting liti-gation drafted and run by membersof the Stanford clinic, includingSrikantiah.

Its because of our work underthe Freedom of Information Act andour litigation that we finally have a

lot of information about the pro-gram, and what weve learned isvery, very troubling, Srikantiahsaid.

The Law School handled the liti-gation on behalf of the National Im-migration Law Center, the NationalLawyers Guild San Francisco BayArea Chapter and the ACLU ofSouthern California. Eventually, thesuit resulted in more than 20,000pages of records elaborating on theprograms implementation and re-vealed that over 100,000 immigrantshad already been subjected to it.The

report, available online on the Stan-ford Law School website, serves as asynthesis of the acquired records.

Now you have on the websitewhat is really the countrys firstfully comprehensive examinationof the stipulated removal pro-gram, Koh said.

Koh said the report sheds lighton the constitutional issues thatarise from the stipulated removalprogram, including how immi-grants due process rights wereshort-circuited because of how theprogram was implemented.

According to the report, exam-ples of such short-circuiting includepoor quality of paperwork transla-tion,no proper explanation of whatrights immigrants forfeit by signing

the order and,most importantly, noaccess to lawyers or legal support.The vast majority of immi-

grants who are signing these ordersdont have lawyers, so they have noidea that they might actually beable to be released from detentionon bail, Koh said. They may notknow that theyre actually eligibleto fight their deportation and havea chance to remain in the U.S.Theydont know this because they donthave lawyers.

She said the stipulation removalprogram adds another obstacle for

immigrants in detention.Under stipulated removal, a

person never has a chance to see theimmigration judge at all becausethe idea is that you agree to yourown removal without having achance to go to court, Koh said.

Along with revealing the detailsof the program, the reports alsoprovides recommendations on howthe federal government couldchange the programs implementa-tion with no cost and under legalterms. One such recommendationincludes having an immigrationjudge hold a brief hearing in orderto determine if an immigrant fullyunderstands the legal conse-quences of the order before anyonesigns off on it.

According to Koh, the reportserves as a spotlight on a programthat been hidden from publicknowledge for over a decade.

For all of us who are working inthe immigration advocacy field, ourwork is motivated by a desire to seegreater overall fairness in theprocess and to be able to see thelaws implemented in the way theyare supposed to be constitutionallyfulfilled, Koh said.

REPORTContinued from front page

After the class ended,they startedtalking to ASSU officials about theiridea, and discovered several otherStanford students had expressed sim-ilar interests in establishing a thriftstore on-campus, including ShaanChugh 14.According to Chugh, for-mer ASSU President Angelina Car-dona 11 informed him about theproject.

We [Chugh, Greenspan andGaejtens] randomly had this onemeeting in Old Union and were kindof shocked that we had the same

idea,Chugh said.According to Gaetjens, thebiggest hurdle the group faced wasfinding space on campus that wouldaccommodate the thrift store asearch that began back in February.They considered placing the store inTresidder Memorial Union, but dis-covered they would have to pay rentfor the space.

After talking to the managers ofcomparable on-campus thrift storesat colleges like UC-Berkeley andClark University, they realized itwould probably take a year beforethe project broke even, Greenspansaid.

Cardona then suggested the base-ment of Old Union as a possiblespace and put Gaetjens andGreenspan in touch with Jeanette

Smith-Laws, director of operationsand student unions. But Gaetjenssaid that instead of requesting a per-manent space, they asked for a trialperiod.

The trial period was basically,Give us a chance to prove that wedeserve a space,Gaetjens said.Theidea was . . . that [University offi-cials] would have the right to take thespace away from us if we didnt do agood job.

Gaetjens and Greenspan saidthey emailed several campus email-ing lists to ask for student artists todonate or lend their works for thegallery. They obtained items for thethrift store primarily through the stu-dent organization Stanford Nourishand from students who were goingabroad for the quarter.

They said they received approvalfrom Smith-Laws to use the space aweek before their planned openingdate last spring.

We were like, We are going totake this opportunity and do it,Greenspan said.

Chugh said they made a largemarketing push for the opening lastspring in hopes of gaining tractionamong students for the project. Ac-cording to Gaetjens, more than 300students came to the store on open-ing day,and 233 individuals checkedout at least one item from the storeduring its trial period.Both of the co-founders said the feedback wasstrong enough that they were able tokeep the space.

The plan, however, departed

slightly from the organizers originalintention.They said they had initiallyplanned to monetize the store by sell-ing the used items. Customers arenow able to take items from the storefor free and are allowed a maximumof three items per visit.

According to Greenspan, thechange came because of zoning laws

that prohibit financial transactionsfrom taking place in all areas of OldUnion except The Axe and Palm.

Honestly, the way that it hasevolved, the free-store model hasbeen working really well, which weare glad about, Gaetjens said. Wehad been really afraid of [not charg-ing for items] in terms of basicallycreating chaos. But with the itemlimit and people being really respon-sive and donating,it has actually beenworking out really well.

Over the summer, a $3,000 grantcoming from the Green Fund a

pool of $30,000 that is divided outamong student-driven sustainabilityprojects on campus by the Depart-ment of Sustainability and EnergyManagement (SEM) was used topurchase an iPad and a scale. TheiPad is now used as a store inventoryand as a tool for checking out items.The scale weighs donations.

According to Gaetjens, they plan

to use these measurements to createa visual thermometerof how muchwaste the store is diverting from land-fills.

The project recently formed ateam of 10 volunteers who will be-come part owners of the space, andgraduating seniors made donationslast spring. Greenspan said thatSmith-Laws painted the walls of theart gallery over the summer to makeit more inviting.

Attendance at the reopening onFriday trailed that of the opening lastspring. Gaetjens estimates approxi-mately 100 individuals attended thereopening, and 80 took items. Chughsaid this was probably because thegroup chose not to market the eventas strongly as they did in the spring.

This time, we knew it was goingto be a store,and its going to be herefor weeks to come, Chugh said. Itdidnt make sense [to strongly publi-cize the reopening] because thenpeople get the wrong impression thatits an event.

Both of the co-founders said theyhope to expand the store, so they canaccept larger donations like couches,mini-fridges and televisions, whichthey are currently not able to keep inthe room because of space limita-tions.They also said they hope to be-come a permanent fixture on thecampus.

We have no guarantee that wewont get kicked out of the space,Gaetjens said.We also have no indi-cation . . . that we are getting thrownout.

The more student support that isvoiced to the administration,the bet-ter,she added.

Union Underground is open 12p.m.through 2 a.m.,every week fromFriday to Sunday.

Steph Curry successfullysummed up Mondaysnews that the first twoweeks of the 2011-12 NBAregular season had been

canceled in one simple tweet #thissucks.

While many of my friends here oncampus saw commissioner DavidSterns statement scrawl across thebottom of ESPNs news feed andshrugged their shoulders indifferent-ly, I dont think that they realize theimplications this has for the NBAs im-

mediate future.For starters, dont think for a sec-ond that only two weeks worth ofgames will be canceled. The ownersand players clearly are not on thesame page, despite 11th-hour meet-ings attempting to come to a consen-sus over a new collective bargainingagreement and end the current lock-out.

We gave it a real good run and itdidnt work,Stern said of the negoti-ations on Monday.

Derek Fisher,Los Angeles Lakerspoint guard and president of the Na-tional Basketball Players Association(NBPA),added to the conversation.

Today was not the day to get thisdone,he said.

Those two statements alone oughtto be enough to scare all you profes-

sional basketball fans out therestraight, because when two of themost important players at the bar-gaining table are giving excuses fornot coming to an agreement withoutmentioning specifics and involvingcertain days being worse than others,the sides are likely very far apart.

NBPA executive director BillyHunter was likely playing somestrategic tactic, as any of those in-volved in the nitty-gritty details al-ways are,but his statement that therehas not been a discussion about thenext time the two sides will meet wasrather ominous.

There has been no discussionabout next meetings.Maybe a month.Two months, he said.Your guess isas good as mine.

But it might not matter what dateanyone has in mind to resume negoti-

ations.As the lockout drags on and on,I dont see how the owners will be mo-tivated to try and salvage the season ifthey arent coming out on top.

According to NBA Deputy Com-missioner Adam Silver,22 of 30 NBAteams lost money last year.That cameout to $300 million total some $40million less than the previous year,butstill a staggering amount. And whilesome creative number-crunching isdefinitely going on in the ownerscamp (most experts agree that itsmore likely that closer to half theteams actually failed to turn a profitlast season),there is no getting aroundthe fact that the old bargaining agree-ment gave 57 percent of all BasketballRelated Income to the players.That isthe sticking point,before you even getinto hard caps,soft caps,rookie scales,

guaranteed deals or anything elseif the owners dont end up with amuch bigger slice of the pie,they wonthesitate to let the season go up inflames.

And why shouldnt they? Theplayers have truly been getting awaywith murder by current professionalleague standards.

Look around; baseball and foot-ball are cash cows the NFLbrought in more than a billion in prof-its (before taxes) in 2009, and theMLB about $500 million in 2010.The

La Quinta, Calif. was buzzing Tuesday as ThePrestige at PGA West went down to the wire,and the anticipated showdown between No. 1Stanford and No.2 Oregon heated up in thefinal round.After trail ing by ten strokes goinginto the final round, the mens golf team

found itself just three strokes back of the Ducks for theteam title on the back nine.The Cardinal couldnt quitecomplete the comeback, but still managed to gain someground and finish in third place behind Washington in asolid field at just the second event of the season.

Freshman Patrick Rodgers built on his first-place fin-ish at the Illini Invitational with a three-round total 209,a good enough score to place him in a tie for 10th. De-fending champion Andrew Yun slipped a little in thefinal round but still finished in a tie for 14th, partiallythanks to a first round 66 that had him thinking about re-

peating on the Greg Norman course.But the second round saw several of the Cardinal fall

off the pace a bit.Rodgers couldnt match his first-round69, shooting an even-par 72,and Yun matched him witha 72.Senior David Chung had six bogeys on his way to a76, and only a spectacular round from sophomoreCameron Wilson who shot a 67 with six birdies andno bogeys during an 11-hole stretch kept the Cardi-nal from dropping beyond fourth place.

All that was forgotten on the final day, however, asStanford made a serious charge up the leaderboard.Chung was firing on all cylinders, playing the first 16holes in five-under par, while Rodgers,Wilson and jun-ior Steven Kearney were all in red figures at the turn.

With its lead all but evaporated, however, Oregonshowed why it will likely be the team to pose the biggestchallenge to Stanford in the Pac-12.Under pressure,theDucks responded,playing the back nine in six under paras a team to salt away a two-shot victory over theHuskies,eight shots clear of the Cardinal.

Late in last Saturdays game against Colorado, theStanford football team led 27-7 and faced a fourth downon the Buffaloes 13-yard line.

Instead of kicking a field goal to extend the already-comfortable lead,head coach David Shaw called for theoffense to stay on the field. After junior running backStepfan Taylor rushed over the left guard for three yardsto extend the drive,quarterback Andrew Luck tossed aneasy touchdown pass to junior fullback Ryan Hewitt tomake the lead 34-7.

The very next Cardinal drive,Stanford faced a fourthand goal at the one-yard line. Again, instead of takingthe points, Shaw called for his running back to go overthe left guard, and again, the Cardinal scored a touch-down.

After the game, Shaw insisted that the fourth downcalls werent piling on the opponent, but they were in-deed trying to send a message to his own team.

Attitude. Thats our attitude. If its close, with theline that we have,with the fullbacks that we have,withthe tight ends we have, with the backs that we have, weshould pick up anything thats less than fourth andthree,Shaw said. Thats the kind of mentality we needto have up front in order for us to play the games the waywe want to play them.

With those two calls, the first-year head coach ap-peared to answer one of the biggest questions that Stan-ford faced coming into the 2011 season: would theteams tough attitude stay the same as it had been underformer coach Jim Harbaugh? The answer is yes.

[Coming into the season] this team, we were defi-nitely trying to reinvent ourselves. Obviously coachHarbaughs gone,were under coach Shaw, everybodystrying to see what type of team its going to be.And we

still have that competitive edge, we still have that com-petitive attitude, senior safety Michael Thomas said.We wanted to reinvent ourselves like this is our brandof football, this isnt just Jim Harbaughs brand of foot-ball,this is Stanford football.

When a soccer coach wins threestraight NSCAA Pacific RegionCoach of the Year awards, groomstwo Hermann Trophy winners in asmany years,leads his team to consec-utive College Cup Finals and fails torecord a regular-season loss in 57games well, you know theressomething seriously fishy going on.

Seriously.Two weeks ago, we were doing

headers, said senior midfielderKristy Zurmuhlen, and [headcoach Paul Ratcliffe] told us thatthe proper way to head the ball isthat you have to look like a salmonin midair,and leave your feet.So itskind of a running joke with us now,that every time someone goes upfor a header, we say,salmon.

Ratcliffe may not seem like thevocal type; compared with visitingcoaches who,like him, are amplifiedby cavernous echoes off the ex-panded Cagan Stadium bleachers,hes rarely audible. But when thecoach and the comic in him cometogether for his players to hear, ittruly sticks.

Hes quiet,but he definitely hasa sense of humor, and we all getalong really well, so its been great,Zurmuhlen said. Over the years,Ive learned a lot from him in termsof the type of soccer that he wantsus to play, keeping the ball andworking hard.I feel like Ive gaineda lot of knowledge in terms of theright way to play the game.

Teaching the right way to play

soccer has earned Ratcliffe a 201-69-26 record as a head coach, with146 of those wins coming on theFarm. His teams have not had a los-ing season in conference play orotherwise since his first year incharge of the St. Marys program.

How fitting for wins 200 and 201to come against perhaps the biggestrivals of two different eras for Rat-cliffe: USC, his archrival as a stu-dent-athlete, and UCLA, consis-tently Stanfords toughest Pac-12competitor. Last Fridays dominant3-0 performance by the Cardinalagainst the Trojans got Ratcliffe tothe 200-win plateau, and with ashocking rout of the Bruins twodays later, the team moved into ex-cellent position to capture its third

conference title in a row. But itshead coach is quick to deflect thecredit.

If I get to that 200th win, I owethem to all the players, Ratcliffesaid leading up to the USC game.Theyre the ones that make thingshappen.

I think Im very fortunate to behere and get the opportunity tocoach such fantastic players,and thething Im most proud of is that wereattracting the best players in thecountry right now, he added.Andnot only soccer players, but greatstudents as well.

Ratcliffe first made his mark onthe soccer world as a student himself,playing for the 1990 NCAA champi-on mens soccer team at UCLA. Hecontinued as a graduate assistantwith the mens team there, and aftera brief stint playing professional in-

door soccer, Ratcliffe returned toWestwood as an assistant coach forthe fledgling womens squad.

When then-head-coach Joy Faw-cett retired, Ratcliffe took over theprogram, but was offered the St.Marys job that same offseason. He

never had the chance to coach agame for his alma mater, insteadturning the struggling Gaels into asquad that would average 11 wins aseason over his five years at St.Marys.

Stanford hired Ratcliffe in 2003,and eight years later, he has not yetfailed to take a Cardinal team to thepostseason.Thats where,accordingto Ratcliffe, the biggest memorieshave been born.

The first game where we won inthe quarterfinal to go to the 2008Final Four our first Final Four was always a memorable game, hesaid.Ultimately there are so manygreat memories: so many greatgames and goals, the kids that havecome through here and the person-alities that weve had.

The only thing missing from Rat-

cliffes head coaching repertoire and, for that matter, the Stanfordprograms is clear: an NCAAtitle. Yet thats not the only thingRatcliffe is working for on a day-to-day basis.

I just want [the players] to playto the best of their ability, enjoy thegames,enjoy the practices and workvery hard, he said.But theres gotto be a huge enjoyment factor there,and weve got to compete. Wevegot to compete and represent Stan-ford. Its an amazing university, andI feel like Stanford deserves thebest, and were trying to producethe best results for them possible.

players, though, are receiving lessthan 50 percent of the income. Inorder for the NBA to catch up to ei-ther of those leagues would requirethe players to take a step back and re-alize that they can make more overallmoney in the future.If they agree to aslightly smaller share of the profits,the owners can reinvest, and theleague can try and get back to thedays when MJ, the Mailman, LarryBird and Magic had fans tuning outfootball to watch basketball.

But most importantly, rememberthat professional basketball is not themost popular sport today.The publicalready thinks the regular seasondrags on way too long, and manyweighed in saying that they were gladto do away with some of the early

games.And while people were suffer-ing from football withdrawal in Julyand August,the same cant be said forbasketball.So it will take a lot longerfor the league to return to the sameenergy and buzz that an epic NBA Fi-nals showdown generated,when Dirksingle-handedly slayed the Big Three.

character but were also going towin with cruelty still resonates.

Shaw, whose coaching career in-cludes stops with the OaklandRaiders and Baltimore Ravens two teams known for their distinc-

tive, tough attitudes said that itwas much more than just the coach-ing staff manufacturing an image.

The two most important thingsto have are the expectations for howtough and physical youre going tobe coach Harbaugh did that and then you recruit guys that exem-plify it, Shaw said. You cantpreach it as a coach if you dont haveguys that have it.You cant just makeit happen, you have to have guys onthe team that make it happen.

Guys that are tough-mindedlike Andrew Luck, David DeCas-tro, Michael Thomas, ChaseThomas, Delano Howell, thoseguys exemplify that every day, sonow when you bring a young guy in,you hear it from the coaches butyou also hear it from the older play-

ers, and thats what the culture is,he added.

Of course, that brash attitudecan bring some backlash, like Har-baughs famous (or infamous) deci-sion to go for two when leading by27 points against USC back in 2009,or the pregame tension that flaredinto fisticuffs during last yearsgame against Cal.

Despite the occasional distrac-tion or penalty (the Cardinal was

flagged for personal fouls threetimes last week), Thomas says theteam is constantly emphasizing notto let its emotions get out of con-trol.

We say all the time, Dont getemotionally hijacked. We play offeach others high energy but at thesame time,we dont want to put ourteammates in a bad situation, hesaid. What happened at the Calgame last year was unfortunate, its

a rivalry, its a big game, and it real-ly did get the blood pumping, butwe dont want to do anything to

jeopardize our teammates.Thomas also said that he and the

defense had adopted a catchphraseof their own this season oppor-tunity for greatness.

That is something that startedlast year with [former defensive co-ordinator Vic] Fangio and [defen-sive coordinator] Derek Mason,whenever we get a sudden change,its saying opportunity is knockinginstead of oh shoot, a momentumchange,he said.

Despite one of his stars adoptingthe phrase, Shaw insists that its justunofficial, unlike the cruelty withcharacter slogan.

No,no, I loved that one, but we

havent come up with any othermantras, he said. Weve just beenconcentrating on the process onwhat it takes for us to be a goodteam.

The Cardinal will get a chance toput its toughness on the line onceagain this weekend against Wash-ington State in Pullman,Wash.
