Former President Lyman dies at 88

DESK EDITOR

Following a report commissioned earlier this year, the ASSU assembled a working group to review use of student union spaces. The group has since launched several initiatives to repurpose spaces in Old Union and surrounding buildings and has encouraged further use of union spaces. Programs such as Union Underground and the Volunteer Student Organization (VSO) Office Space Pilot Program have resulted from the working group. To evaluate Stanfords union spaces, the research group both looked at the history of unions at Stanford and examined peer institutions with strong student unions, particularly the University of Maryland-College Park and its Stamp Student Union. According to former ASSU President Michael Cruz 12, the group focused on spaces in the White Plaza complex, the name assigned to the area that includes Old Union, Tresidder Union, the Nitery and other build-

Former University President Richard Lyman died of congestive heart failure Sunday in Palo Alto. He served as the Universitys seventh president from September 1970 until August 1980. Lyman was 88. At the end of Lymans 10-year presidency, The Dailys Editorial Board took stock of his legacy in an editorial titled Sorry to see Lyman go. The University is now an undisputed member of the select club of academically superb institutions . . . What makes this achievement even more significant is that Lyman cemented the universitys position as a world-class institution during a period of unrest both financial and emotional, the editorial read. Path to the presidency Lyman attended Swarthmore College before earning his masters and Ph.D. from Harvard University. He also attended the London School of Economics on a Fulbright scholarship and taught history at Washington University in St. Louis before coming to Stanford as a history professor in 1958.

Before serving as University president, Lyman also served as the associate dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences and provost. In 1988, he founded and served as director of the center that later became the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. The choice of Lyman to replace Kenneth Pitzer as University president was one point of consensus amid the otherwise turbulent times on campus in the late 60s and early 70s. The Daily wrote shortly after Lyman took office that it was rare for alumni, faculty members, students and trustees to agree on anything, yet all these natural enemies managed to agree on Lyman. Weathering the storm Lyman, however, did not receive a warm welcome to the University. During his first convocation address in September 1970, demonstrators employed the give em the axe cheer normally reserved for sporting events against Cal. Lymans term as president represented a time of significant transition for the University. He reflected in his memoir, Stanford in

Pro-Romney group ramps up campaign

By MATT BETTONVILLE
DESK EDITOR

Now that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is focusing his campaign on the November general election, Stanfords Students for Romney, a chapter of the national campaign organization Students for Mitt, is launching its on-campus organization. The group is presently in the process of electing its leadership for the next school year, but eventually hopes to raise support for Romneys campaign by hosting debates, a phone-a-thon and events promoting political awareness. The group originally formed to support Romneys campaign for the Republican nomination for president, but was largely inactive. We kind of knew throughout the primaries that he was going to win, so we were kind of waiting for the bigger fight, said Reagan Thompson 12, president of Students for Romney. The group held a launch event Friday afternoon to gather interest both for participants and leadership positions during election season next fall. According to Students for Romney Vice President Chip Schroeder 12, about 30 people, mostly graduate students and upperclassmen, attended. Our goal for the group is to invite Stanford students to learn more about Romney and consider positions especially economic which are not often discussed at Stanford, Schroeder said in an email to The Daily. Schroeder said support was strongest from students in the Graduate School of Business, but weaker among undergraduate students, perhaps due to the economic focus of the group and the campaign. Theres actually a pretty substantial Republican, conservative constituency on campus, Thompson said, citing the Stanford Conservative Society, the Stanford Review and the Stanford Republicans as strong organizations. Its just a matter of mobilizing. Thompson said that it is unlikely that Students for Romney will host any events this quarter since the year is nearly over, but the group hopes to have a strong presence fall quarter of next year. She added that

CARDINAL CLEANS UP AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

By DAVID PEREZ
STAFF WRITER

It was a historic day for Stanford womens tennis at the NCAA Tennis Championships, as an all-Cardinal final in the singles draw was followed by a doubles title just hours later. Sophomore Nicole Gibbs defeated junior teammate Mallory Burdette for the individual championship before the two joined forces to take the doubles crown 6-2, 6-4. Gibbs became only the third Stanford player to win both the singles and doubles ti-

tles in the same year at the NCAA Championships. Mondays win at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga., made Gibbs the 15th Stanford woman to win the collegiate singles championship and the first since Amber Liu in 2004. Gibbs defeated Burdette, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in a mentally grueling match in which she was once a set and three games behind. Gibbs came back to force a second set tiebreak, where she fell behind 5-2 and once again found herself on the brink of elimination. In the first set, Burdette was the more as-

sertive player, as she came to net successfully and took control of the match. Ahead 4-1 in the second set, she looked poised to run away with the trophy. Burdette had not lost more than three games in a set in the entire tournament, and she appeared set on continuing that dominant streak. I had kind of resigned myself to losing to someone who was playing by far the best tennis in all of college tennis, Gibbs said. At that point, I was just trying anything possible

Race plays role in juvenile sentencing, study finds

By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF A new study by Stanford psychologists revealed that if people picture a juvenile offender as being black, they are more likely to be in favor of harsher sentences for all juvenile offenders. These results highlight the fragility of protections for juveniles when race is in play, said Aneeta Rattan, lead author of the study, to the Stanford Report.

Please see ROMNEY, page 2

The study polled a nationally representative sample of 735 white Americans. The authors chose to use only white participants because that demographic is statistically overrepresented on juries, in the legal field and in the judiciary. The participants were asked to read about a 14-year-old male, with 17 prior juvenile convictions, who brutally raped an elderly woman. Half of the participants were told the juvenile was white; the other half were told he was black. This was the only difference. Participants who were given a black offender more strongly endorsed policies that send juveniles convicted of violent crimes to life in prison without parole, compared to respondents

who had in mind a white offender. The fact that imagining a particular target could influence your perceptions of a policy that would affect an entire class of people, we think, is pretty important to know, said Jennifer Eberhardt, senior author of the study and associate professor of psychology. The Supreme Court has banned the death penalty for juveniles and ruled in 2010 that life without parole for non-homicide crimes violates the Constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The Supreme Court is currently considering

whether to impose further restrictions on juvenile punishments. Eberhardt said the study was partially inspired by current cases before the Supreme Court. The statistics out there indicate that there are racial disparities in sentencing juveniles who have committed severe crimes, Eberhardt said.That led us to wonder, to what extent does race play a role in how people think about juvenile status?

Researchers develop nanotubes to reduce battery costs

By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF Stanford researchers have found that carbon nanotubes could help replace platinum in future batteries, significantly reducing production costs. A carbon nanotube is a synthetic sheet made of pure carbon rolled up into tube shapes. According to a report on Nanotechnology Nows

website, these nanotubes can be up to 10,000 times thinner than a human hair. This technology could replace platinum as a catalyst in batteries, which is a major long-term goal in developing affordable future battery chemistries, including the lithium-air battery, which can have up to 10 times the energy density of current batteries. Platinum is very expensive and thus impractical for large-scale commercialization, said Hongjie Dai, a chemistry professor and coauthor of the study. Developing a low-cost alternative has been a major research goal for several decades. Two properties allow carbon nanotubes to be useful in batteries: electrical conductivity and catalytic activity. Previously, nanotubes had not performed well in batteries because the catalytic property depends on impurities and holes in the nanotube structure and the electrical property depends on the integrity of the nanotube structure. However, a group of researchers led by postdoctoral fellow Yanguang Li, working in conjunction with researchers at Vanderbilt University, created a nanotube model with both properties. The model consists of multiple nanotubes wrapped concentrically around one another, with the top layer shredded to enhance catalytic activity.

ings adjacent to White Plaza. While [the White Plaza complex] does include most of the aspects found in other student unions, it lacks certain aspects, such as a strong arts space as well as some more kind of recreational activities found in most student unions, Cruz said, noting that the union has particularly strong centers for ethnic, religious and gender groups. The unions were also found to be particularly strong in having general-use areas for students. We were as strong, if not stronger, than most other student unions in terms of having really good study spaces or group meeting spaces, Cruz said. In the student union study, 42 percent of students said the first thing they thought of when thinking about Old Union was a place to do group work, second only to The Axe and Palm at 51 percent. To address the shortcomings of the union spaces, the working group created or expedited several programs. Union Underground, an initiative to create an area for student

art and a free store in the basement of Old Union, was piloted last spring and received confirmation to continue operations this year. It was actually a really big struggle to get space at all, said Liz Matus 14, one of the students who helped start the Union Underground project. Matus said that the art aspect, addressing the need for student art space, was what ultimately got the project approved. The VSO Space Initiative was created this quarter as a pilot program to allocate three rooms in Old Union and four in the Nitery as office, work and storage space for students groups. The ASSU issued an application for any student group to apply for its own space. Former ASSU Vice President Stewart Macgregor-Dennis 13 said that if the pilot program is successful, the working group plans to try to continue the initiative and expand it. One drawback, he said, was that since more groups applied for space than the initiative could accommodate, groups might have to move in and out of spaces periodically. According to Cruz, the goal of the Student Space Initiative was increasing student engagement with Old Union and having stu-

dents feel like they really have a sense of ownership with the student unions. He said the idea resulted from observations that students who feel at home in Stanfords student unions are generally those active in organizations housed there. Student groups that didnt have that kind of connection havent felt as much of a connection to Old Union as an institution, Cruz said. While a majority of students are involved in some group during their time at Stanford, we felt that [Old Union engagement] was a major lacking issue. The ASSU manages union spaces in conjunction with the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs (VPSA).VPSA Director of Student Unions Jeanette SmithLaws, who worked on the VSO Office Space Pilot Program, did not respond to a request for an interview. Cruz also said that the ASSU has finished funding its executive action grants for the year. The grants are given to groups of students looking to enhance Stanford student life in some way, and encourage student recipients to integrate Old Union into their activities.

the group hopes to organize debates and panels with Stanford Democrats. There was talk of attempting to bring Romney to campus,Thompson said.Thats definitely a higherlevel dream. Romney will be in the area campaigning and fundraising several times throughout the year. In addition to supporting Romneys campaign, Thompson said that Students for Romney hopes to raise the level of general political

conversation on campus. We feel like there are a lot of students on campus who dont really think critically about their political position, Thompson said. Our goal is . . . raising the level of political dialogue on campus. The group said that a high level of political discussion on campus will be an important factor in the upcoming election. Were really excited that this election likely is going to be close, Thompson said. We students are going to have a significant role . . . and were really excited about that.

Turmoil, that Stanford rose from its status as a regional institution in the 1950s to a nationally and internationally prestigious university by the time the 70s were over. However, this rise to prominence did not come without upheaval on campus. In his first year as president, Lyman suspended Associate English Professor H. Bruce Franklin for inciting violence among students on campus. Lyman was criticized for this action during a Faculty Senate meeting, in which Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling accused Lyman of infringing upon Franklins academic freedom and individual rights. In early 1971, students accused Lyman of tossing crumbs to black students after a meeting with Black Student Union (BSU) leaders to discuss demands of the group. The co-chairman of BSU called Lyman blatantly negative and hostile. BSU members had previously taken over the stage during a speech Lyman delivered in Memorial Auditorium in 1968. We believe that the lack of response is indicative of either a shallow interest in the questions which affect racial groups on this campus, or perhaps more accurately a genuine inability to deal with the questions of racism, ASSU leaders wrote in an May 14, 1971, op-ed printed in The Daily. Other on-campus protests during Lymans politically active tenure included protests against CIA recruiting, ROTC training on campus and conducting military research in campus labs. Students and faculty participated in sit-ins and protests that, in the case of the Encina Hall protest during Lymans time as University provost, shut down University buildings. He declared as president in 1971 that occupying a building was not an acceptable form of political action within the University. Lyman urged students and faculty to stay away from meetings and marches in a Feb. 11, 1970, radio address on KZSU one of the many weekly addresses he gave on KZSU. He characterized the disruptions as the frankly declared attempt to reproduce as much of the war as possible on the Stanford University campus. These disruptions made their way to Lymans personal residence on El Escarpado Way.The University installed a tripwire alarm system, a hot line to campus security, a fire alarm wired directly to the campus fire station and additional exterior lighting around the house to protect it from protestors while Lyman was still provost. During one incident that took place the evening Lyman was hosting a reception for the dean of the

School of Humanities and Sciences, protestors threw rocks into Lymans upstairs windows and launched a soda bottle filled with red paint into the kitchen. Lymans time as president also saw student uproar over more campus-central issues. In 1972, Lymans recommendation that Stanford replace its Indian mascot was so unpopular that alumni withheld donations in protest, despite the student senates support for the mascot change at the time. That particular point of discontent was not enough to keep Lyman from raising $300 million in the 1972 Campaign for Stanford.At the time, it was the largest-ever fundraising effort by an institute of higher education. Beyond Stanford Lyman was unanimously elected to serve as president of the Rockefeller Foundation upon leaving Stanford in 1980, 10 years after he was named to the post, living out his own declaration in 1970 that a university president ought to only serve 10 years. Ideally a university president should serve long enough to accomplish something, and not long enough to make people think of his accomplishments wholly in the past tense, Lyman told The Daily in October 1970, less than a month after he assumed the presidency. Lyman also served on the National Council on the Humanities from 1976 to 1982 and as vice chairman of the council for two of those years. The Stanford Alumni Association established the Richard W. Lyman Award for Faculty Service in 1983.The award gives faculty $1,500 earmarked for books and materials in the faculty members field of interest to given to Stanford libraries. In 2002, the National Humanities Center inaugurated the Richard W. Lyman Award. The award, given to five people each year from 2002 until 2006, included a $500,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation and $25,000 prize in recognition of academics who developed a synthesis between knowledge in the humanities and technological innovation. Lyman is survived by his wife, Jing (Palo Alto), daughters Jennifer (Washington, D.C.) and the Rev. Holly Antolini (Cambridge, Mass.), sons Christopher (Searsmont, Maine) and Timothy (Hartford, Conn.) and four grandchildren. The family has requested that, in the place of flowers, memorial donations be made out to the American Friends Service Committee or the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford.

Twins on the Farm
T
By RAYMOND LOUNG
he transition from high school to college can be hard for incoming freshmen, especially with separation from parents and siblings leading to homesickness. For twins who have often spent the entirety of their lives together this distance can seem even further. But what if your twin werent so far away? What if you lived on the same college campus, or maybe a few doors down the same hall, or even in the same room? For many twins at Stanford, this situation is the reality. The University is home to many sets of twins and even triplets. While rumor has it that having your twin gain acceptance into Stanford increases your chances, Sonya Smith 95, associate director of Undergraduate Admissions, set the record straight that being a multiple does not provide any sort of advantage over a nonmultiple in gaining admission to Stanford. Nor does being a multiple increase all multiples chances of getting into Stanford. While we are sensitive to twins, triplets [and] multiples applying, we treat them just the same as any other applicant, she said. That is, our admission review is centered on each individual applicant. We read each students file holistically and in context of her or his school and community. Smith said that at times siblings may share similar backgrounds, causing them to have similar narratives, yet she emphasized the fact that each applicant has a unique story to tell. Though admissions officers do not specifically group multiples together, they do acknowledge when an applicant has a sibling in the applicant pool. There is an option on the Stanford Supplement for applicants to indicate if they have a sibling who is also applying to Stanford. It may mean that she or he is a twin, triplet [or] multiple, but it could also mean that one sibling is applying as a freshman and another as a transfer or that one sibling is graduating early, Smith said. Sometimes a teacher or guidance counselor letter will also mention that the applicant is a twin or triplet. Even if each multiple gains acceptance to the same university, there is still the common need among siblings to differentiate themselves from one another. However, many sets of twins who attend Stanford note that the University is large enough for each to develop his or her own experience. Elena Ayala 14 attends Stanford with her twin Alejandro. She noted that, during freshman year, they were placed on opposite sides of campus, and as a result, developed separate groups of friends. In fact, the only times they saw each other were when their parents visited. The two also focus on different areas of academic study. Elena plans to study English and sociology, while her brother enjoys computer science. Despite these differences, however, this year both are taking Social Dance and currently live in Crothers Hall. Though we have different and separate lives, there is always the possibility of being able to see him for help and companionship, Elena said. Twins Melanie and Veronica Polin 14 observe similar experiences at Stanford. In high school, it was a lot harder to separate, Veronica said. Growing up, we were a lot more put together in different activities, but at Stanford, weve been really able to pursue different interests and create our own identities. Though they share similar circles of friends and are roommates this year, the two have different academic interests. Melanie plans to major in biology, while Veronica intends to study international relations and economics. Melanie suggested that, while she enjoys having Veronica around, they experience no pressure to hang out all the time. In particular, Melanie looks forward to studying abroad in order to live independently from her sister. Studying abroad in a different country will be an entirely new experience, Melanie said. For three months, Ill be able to see what life would be like without my sister. For freshmen, having a familiar face on campus can ease part of the anxiety that comes with the transition to college. Arielle Basich 15 attends Stanford with her twin brother Chase and said she believes that her adjustment to college life was made easier by the presence of her brother. I love having someone to talk about friends and family back home, Arielle said. Plus, he is my best friend, so I couldnt really ask for anything better. Basich also noted that incoming freshman twins tend to be placed into separate housing. For instance, she lives in Stern Hall while her brother lives in Florence Moore Hall. She said she feels this has essential to the creation of her own college experience independent of her twin. Elena, Melanie, Veronica and Arielle all agreed that there are many sets of twins at Stanford and the pairs are able to relate and bond over a shared experience. We can laugh at a lot of similar things and tendencies that we know and have, Veronica said with a smile. Its a twin thing. For many twins at Stanford whose siblings attend another university, separating from their other halves came with the initial drastic change of leaving home. Mitch Wheeler 14 is an identical twin whose brother attends the University of Chicago. They are able to visit each other at least once a year and Skype fairly often. In addition, both Stanford and the University of Chicago are on quarter systems, so they share similar academic breaks. Nevertheless, Wheeler admitted that the transition to college was made more difficult because his twin was across the country. [When I am at home], I am always with [him] doing something, Wheeler said. When I come to Stanford, I have a lot more time alone to do my own thing, but there are kids that kind of replace your twin. Despite their geographic separation, Mitch and his brother are both economics majors and often take similar classes. In retrospect, it would have been nice and cool to have him with me, to have somebody to do stuff with, to take the same classes [since] were the same major, he said. Wheeler notes that if his twin had come to Stanford, he probably would have had a similar experience. They are both involved in Greek life and consider themselves to be outgoing people, though they are more outgoing as a pair. Michael Celentano 14 is a fraternal twin whose sister attends Washington University in St. Louis. He also has two older sisters, but comments on how being separated from his twin is different than being away from his other siblings. The transition is much more extreme with a twin because you are constantly together when [youre] growing up, he noted. We were in the same grade and classes, and our social lives overlapped. Celentano plans to study math and physics and finds Stanford to be the right fit for him, while his sister enjoys art and anthropology and prefers the social environment at Washington University in St. Louis. Despite missing his sister, Celentano said he believes physical distance is necessary in order to differentiate himself from his twin. Its good to get space and exercise independence, he said. We have to separate at some point. Were not going to be with each other for our entire lives, and college seems to be an appropriate time to start anew. For everyone, theres an element of entering a fresh environment with completely new people. To have someone whom you know really well diminishes that element, he added. Though both their twins are not at Stanford, both Wheeler and Celentano noted that being a twin is an integral part of their identity. They use the twin experience as a conversation starter and enjoy observing and comparing other twin relationships with their own. According to Basich, there is also something to be said for making friends with other twins whose experiences going to school with or without their twin have affected their undergraduate lives. Once you meet someone who is a twin, you dont forget it, she said. Contact Raymond Luong at rayluong @stanford.edu.

HISTORY CORNER

Angel of Grief, a statue Jane Stanford dedicated to the memory of her deceased brother Henry Lathrop, graces the arboretum on Stanfords campus, just a stones throw away from the Mausoleum.

The Angel of Grief:

Snapshot of a statue
itting next to the Mausoleum, the Angel of Grief might be the lesser known of the two Stanford landmarks, yet the image of an angel hunched over in tears is hard to forget. The statue is even more memorable for its meaning: It serves as an emblem of Jane Stanfords grief over the loss of her brother Henry Lathrop, who lived with her after Leland Stanford Sr. died. Lathrop is buried beneath the statue. At the time that she [had the statue built], there was a bigger cemetery in the arboretum, said University Archaeologist Laura Jones. The University faculty, staff and employees were also buried [there]. Before she died, Jane Stanford had the cemetery in the arboretum moved to its present-day location on Arastradero Road. She didnt want the arboretum to be just a cemetery, Jones said. There were more and more graves, and she was concerned that it was going to take over the entire arboretum. Still, the angel stayed, even though it is not the original statue Jane Stanford commissioned in 1901. The first one was damaged in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and Charles Lathrop, another one of Janes brothers, arranged to have a replacement brought from Italy. The original angel had a marble cupola over the top of it, Jones said. Thats what fell in 1906. Small marble tiles also surrounded the entire original statue. Since its replacement, the University has made a strong effort to preserve the Angel of Grief. In

1996, the original small marble tiles surrounding the statue were replaced with plants in a restoration project. Although it sits in a secluded part of the arboretum, the angel is not immune to vandalism. The University once had to repair the angels arm after someone carved it off. [The statue is] over-scaled slightly. If she stood up, she would have been over seven feet tall, Jones said. We scaled it back slightly, and the Cantor Arts Center curators reviewed it as well. This hand is slightly smaller than the other hand. If it was [made] to scale, it would have looked monstrous. Jane Stanfords grief and love for her brother Henry, although captured in the statue itself, can best be seen in a letter she wrote to Charles following Henrys death. In particular, she included words of instruction to ensure careful preparation for the statue. Dear brother, do not have any of these marbles unpacked until I get home, she wrote in a letter written before the statue was erected. Have them carefully put in a safe, dry place. Nowadays, the Angel is used as a more universal memorial site for locals to mourn the loss of their loved ones. Still, the monument retains both its historic charm and initial significance as Jane Stanfords tribute to the premature death of a beloved sibling, much in the same way that the Farm itself stands as a memorial to her deceased son and the Universitys namesake, Leland Stanford Jr.

hen he was a kid, my dad wasnt allowed to leave the dinner table until he had finished everything on his plate. Still scarred from stomaching more canned peas and carrots than he wanted, my dad never forced me to finish my food. At dinnertime, he would usually just repeat his favorite mantra, Chew slowly, and encourage me to take only what I would actually eat. Except when overwhelmed by options at the new Arrillaga Family Dining Commons, I think my dads parenting was about as effective as his parents: I usually finish whatever is on my plate. A lot of Stanford students dont, though. Our campus still generates somewhere on the order of 1,300 tons of food waste each year. Stanfords commitment to waste reduction was first apparent to me at a zero waste lunch during Admit Weekend. Zero waste events feature all-compostable materials in an attempt to raise awareness about the unfortunate ease and frequency with which we throw away food and packaging materials. Its important to focus attention on waste streams, since the average Stanford student generates almost 14 pounds of waste each week. Of that, 1.8 pounds per person are food service organics. Some simple math suggests that a student generates, on average, 95 pounds of food waste per year, and thats just in the end consumption stage. Zero waste lunches are an effective outreach strategy, but their name is a little misleading. Having volunteered at zero waste events like the recent Spring Faire, Ive seen how much material gets placed into plastic trash bins at the end of the event. Sure, the waste in these bins is headed toward a compost facility instead of a landfill, but its still waste. Serving food on compostable plates or containers is a step in the right direction, but we need to be more conscious of the food waste left on those plates (not to mention the energy and resources used to produce the single-use, disposable plates). Perhaps the events would be more aptly named zero landfill affairs, because then students might consider the fact that uneaten food is still waste, even if it goes to a composting facility. The amount of food wasted on our planet is a symptom of our faulty food systems. Almost a third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted somewhere along the path from production to consumption. Last year, this meant 1.3 billion tons of food were lost or wasted. In developed countries like the United States, consumers are to blame for much of this wasted food. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the developed world wastes 222 million tons of food each year. This number is almost equivalent to the amount of food produced annually in all of subSaharan Africa. Americans are prime offenders. We waste 40 percent of the food produced for

human consumption, at a cost of over $100 billion annually. Recognizing this problem, Stanford students and staff have rallied to target food waste reduction through their Love Food, Hate Waste campaign. Stanford Dining, acting much like my dad, encourages students to take only what they will eat. Any uneaten food is scraped into composting bins and transported to the Newby Island compost facility by the Peninsula Sanitary Service, Inc., where it is turned into usable mulch that is then driven back to campus for use in gardens and landscaping. Its better than sending the food to a landfill where it would produce methane (a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide) during anaerobic decay, but driving food up and down the Peninsula still produces unnecessary carbon emissions. The Stanford Project on Hunger tries to further reduce waste by taking leftovers from dining halls and houses to the Palo Alto Opportunity Center, but their limited volunteer base cant do everything. So the onus is back on students, faculty and staff. Its probably impossible to achieve a zero waste food system, but there are some steps we can take before, during and after meals to reduce food waste. The Worldwatch Institute encourages Americans to be realistic about meals, plan ahead, go small at mealtime, use self-serving meal stations, store leftovers, compost food scraps, repurpose food into new meals and donate excess. Some of these steps are not that applicable to students eating in dining halls, but its a pretty simple, important list to remember for post-college life. In campus dining halls, though, it boils down to the message my dad taught me as a child: Take only what you think youll actually eat. You can always go back for seconds.

HALF-INVENTED

Stare at the sun

I
recently got to see author Ravi Zacharias speak. I hadnt ever heard of him before the event, but he sparked my attention during the question-and-answer segment following the talk when he addressed the meaning of life. He posited that there are four necessary components to find meaning in life: truth, love, security and wonder. If you stood in the middle of White Plaza and tried to ask 100 students on campus where they look to find meaning in life, the nine or 10 students willing to stop and respond would probably include the first three on their list: truth, love and security. But wonder? You may be hard-pressed to find that answer. Is having wonder in life necessary for meaning? And if so, why is it so underappreciated? I recently restarted watching wrestling. And not Olympic-style, grapple, counter, mat wrestling. I mean chokeslam-through-atable, steel-chair-to-the-face-of-a7-foot-300-pound-gimmick, staged professional wrestling. I used to watch it every week growing up, and I dreamt of becoming a professional wrestler one day, despite possessing the size and shape of a meerkat. I started watching again because of a new straightedge wrestler named CM Punk, and, let me just say, the 10 years between watching as a 10-year-old and watching it now has made a huge difference. I always knew it was fake, but not this fake. If youve never experienced the joy and wonder that is professional wrestling, you should stop reading this right now and hop on YouTube. The personalities are flat, the feuds are more scripted than soap operas and the actual wrestling is hit or miss. And by hit or miss, I mean whether the person gets a hit or misses, the other guy falls over. Its incredible. But twice a week for two hours, stadiums and convention centers are filled with fans cheering, booing and paying to see grown men in tights fake fight. And its because of the sense of wonder this fake world holds. Anything can happen. In this world, the good guy doesnt always win, the rules arent always followed and the little guy can sometimes overcome the giant. Even though they are completely aware it is fake, thousands of people every week look to professional wrestling to divorce themselves from their world of mundane routine. And this is the type of wonder I think Ravi Zacharias was referring to as necessary for finding meaning in life. Not professional wrestling specifically, but a wonder found from seeing the everyday world around us with astonishment, without jaded or dulled hearts. It is the appreciation for things regardless of their inevitability or routine. It is the hope that anything, no matter how small and insignificant, can become great. It is the excitement that anything and everything can happen. And I think the busy college world is detrimental to this sense

of wonder. In order to succeed as a college kid, you need to have your world figured out so you can best take advantage of it. The freedom of time is reduced to hourly calendar spots within a day that must be filled as efficiently as possible. Passions and longings simply become weekly routines of going through the motions. Actions and choices become the habitual cause-and-effect decision that reaps the most effective benefits. Emotions and imagination are dismissed for figures and graphs, and questions of why? and what if? are replaced by the more pragmatic and explainable how? questions. And therein lies the problem. There was a solar eclipse last week, and everyone gathered with wonder and astonishment to watch, but the wonder seemed to die once the sun was no longer obscured. That seems ironic to me. Theres a giant, flaming ball of gas in the sky that gives us heat and growing plants and delicious Sunny D, and we only find it amazing when something gets in its way? We need to rethink the way we perceive the world, and it starts with hope and humility. Maybe we havent figured out everything there is to know about the things and people and places in front of us. In the words of G.K. Chesterton, The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder. Have something youre wondering about? Tell Chase about it at ninjaish@stanford.edu.

FRENZIED FINALE
baseman Brian Ragira walked and right fielder Austin Wilson doubled, narrowing the margin to one. An intentional walk loaded the bases for pinch-hitter Brett Michael Doran. With the count at 1-2, Doran shot a ball deep to left field which landed just foul and hit the wall on one bounce. But incredibly, home-plate umpire Billy Speck ruled the play a home run, apparently believing that the ball had hit the foul pole and bounced back into the playing field. Cardinal bats and helmets were strewn everywhere, and both teams streamed out of their dugouts: Stanford celebrating in centerfield, and Cal contesting the call down the thirdbase line. The play was eventually reversed, but even after the Cardinals equipment had been picked up, the drama persisted. On the very next pitch, Doran hit a cue shot between first base and the mound, advancing everyone easily to tie the game. The ball was so perfectly placed, in fact, that Wilson had enough time to come around from second for the winning run. But he stutterstepped at third base and was thrown out at the plate, then ejected for slamming his helmet in frustration. The teams would battle back and forth for six more innings, with Stanford using four different catchers while several batters for both teams registered eight at-bats. It would be Cals star shortstop Tony Renda who broke through in the 18th. The Bears put a runner in scoring position on the games 10th sac bunt, before Renda came to the plate at 0-for-7 on the evening. His eighth time up was the charm, though, as Renda singled on a full count to put his team ahead 5-4. Junior shortstop Kenny Diekroeger also 0-for-7 at that point led off the bottom half of the inning with a double, but the Cardinal could not bring him home. The deflating loss seemed to stick with Stanford the following afternoon, as the Bears captured their first series win on the Farm since 2008 in dominant fashion. It didnt bother Cal at all. They came out and played well, hit the ball around the ballpark and really gave us a good beating, playing much better than we did in all phases of the game, Marquess said.Unless they got more sleep than we did, I dont know why. They just gave a good whipping, he added. It seemed as if the Bears, having used Saturday starter Justin Jones as a reliever in the opener, would have an off pitching day, but instead it was the Cardinal that was exposed on the mound. Redshirt junior lefthander Brett Mooneyham lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing eight earned runs and 10 hits, and fellow lefty Garrett Hughes couldnt record a single out in relief. Cal got on the board with two outs in the second inning, scoring four runs with two outs after Krist who leads the Pac-12 in doubles and set a Cal career record over the weekend had another two-bagger to ignite a rally. Stanford loaded the bases in the bottom half and got back two runs on a wild pitch and an error by catcher Andrew Knapp, but the Bears limited the damage to just that pair of scores

promised myself it wouldnt happen this time. I thought I could keep it cool and that the physical distance between us and the memory of how youve hurt me and let me down so many times before would be enough to prevent me from repeating past mistakes. But try as I might, I just cant stay mad at you. Damn you, England. In just under two weeks time, the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, the biggest international prize outside of the World Cup, will kick off in the two host countries of Poland and Ukraine. Looking at the current FIFA rankings, the England team is the fifthbest European squad, but with three of the teams ahead of it drawn together in the Group of Death, my home team should be looking to, at the very least, reach the semifinals. However, life is never that easy for an England fan. It seems almost inevitable that this team, consisting of many of the worlds top players, will crash and burn and that well have to divert our sporting interest to London hosting the Olympics unnaturally early. It never used to be this way. Back in 1966, we actually won a World Cup, and even when I was a kid, there seemed to be real hope. England rarely got beyond the quarterfinals, but our exits, though painful, seemed respectable. You could feel proud of the teams performance and know that soon it would break the run and make it to a final. On the back of ex-coach Fabio Capellos dreadful campaign at the last World Cup two years ago and the increasingly misguided decisions and appointments by the English FA who renegotiated Capellos contract just days before his abysmal showing in South Africa to ensure we were subjected to two more years of his genius that hope seems to have run dry. Tuning in to watch a game, especially a tournament qualifier or friendly, has become a chore, something you know youre supposed to do but wont really enjoy. There are frustrations too about the leadership of the global game. FIFA appears to be plagued by corruption on such a scale that it makes even the dirtiest politicians look squeaky-clean. It is also no real secret that many of those in charge of international soccer are no fans of England. Apart from criticizing the United Kingdoms free press for investigating corruption allegations and making it pretty clear that the World Cup wont be hosted on Englands shores any time soon, FIFA has also grabbed hold of the preposterous idea that soccer is not in fact an English game, but instead a Chinese one. No one in England has ever claimed to have invented the ball, but it is a clear, indisputable fact that the roots of the modern game lie in this little Northern European country. And dont get me started on violence and racism. England once had a serious problem with these issues, but it remains one of the few countries to have taken significant steps to correct this and has become a leading light in the fight against both. In contrast, reports surfacing from Poland and Ukraine suggest that both countries have failed to address these serious problems. Just this year, masses of Ukrainian fans were reported giving the Nazi salute to their team, and, two weeks after that incident, the same clubs fans turned on a handful of Indian supporters in their midst. The worst thing about this, though, is that we dont have our own house in order. With FIFA besieged by corruption allegations, our FA attempted to bribe the executive committee ahead of the World Cup selection, and included on our squad for Euro 2012 is a player, defender John Terry, facing allegations of racial abuse. Faced with all these things, there are easily enough reasons for me not to tune in this summer, to not to drag myself out of bed early to watch live games and deal with the inevitable defeat when it comes. But even over here I can already sense what must be going on back home. In the vacuum after the end of the regular soccer season, the media will be seizing on this story to fill the next month or so, pubs will be preparing for the onslaught of fans unable to travel to the tournament, TV ad after TV ad will be seeking

STANFORD DROPS TWO OF THREE

By JOSEPH BEYDA
DESK EDITOR

A disappointing weekend against Cal at Sunken Diamond wrapped up a conference season of missed opportunities for the No. 11 Stanford baseball team. With conference-leading Oregon losing all three games to Oregon State, the Cardinal would have finished in a three-way tie for the Pac-12 championship had it swept the unranked Bears. Instead, Stanford (38-16, 18-12 Pac-12) finished in a three-way tie for fourth place after losing twice, marking the secondstraight year that the preseason-frontrunner Cardinal has slipped to the middle of the pack. Stanford was outlasted by its cross-bay rival in a perplexing 18-inning opener before a 15-5 bludgeoning by the Bears (29-25, 12-18) on Saturday, but still enters the postseason on a winning note with a 5-3 Sunday win. The final victory came just hours after the announcement that the Farm would be one of 16 regional sites in the NCAA Tournament, with Stanford set to host Fresno State, Michigan State and Pepperdine next weekend. In the 14 years that the Cardinal has hosted a regional, it has reached the College World Series 11 times. As he prepares to make another run at Omaha, head coach Mark Marquess isnt putting too much stock in this weekends series loss. The crazy thing is that you dont know. You

can win all three [in your last series] and not play well in the regional, or you can lose all three and then all of a sudden you play [better], he said. So it really is a second season I tell the players that and theres enough time off that theres not necessarily a carryover. There was a carryover from the Cardinals Saturday night loss, from the Bears epic 18-inning win in the series opener that is tied for the longest game in each schools recorded history. Cal played an 18-inning game in 1943, and Stanford, whose records only date back 15 years, had one of its own in 2002. In the big picture, the 4-5 loss eliminated the Cardinal from Pac-12 title contention, snapped its eight-game winning streak and likely threatened its chances at hosting a Super Regional. But all 569 pitches of the five-hour and 58minute contest were bizarre entertainment for the 2,743 fans who packed into Sunken Diamond or, at least those who stuck around for the end of the chilly marathon. Junior righthander Mark Appel (9-1) left with a 2-1 lead and eight strikeouts to his name through seven innings, but the Bears clawed back with an unearned run in the eighth. The Cardinal had runners in scoring position in each of the next two innings but couldnt convert, sending the game to extras. Sophomore righty A.J. Vanegas held Cal off the scoreboard until the 12th, when senior catcher Chadd Krist battled back from 0-2 with two outs and lined a two-run double to put the Bears ahead 4-2. An inexplicable bottom of the 12th then left everyone crowd, dugouts, press box and all in shock. With one on and two out, sophomore first

KLAHN LEAVES ON HIGH NOTE

Senior Bradley Klahn (above) ended his stellar career in impressive fashion, advancing to the NCAA singles semifinals before falling to eventual champion and longtime friend Steve Johnson of USC.

The singles and doubles portion of the NCAA Championships once again proved to be an elusive prize for the Stanford mens tennis team this weekend, with senior Bradley Klahn falling to eventual champion Steve Johnson of USC in the semifinal of the singles event and the duo of Klahn and fellow senior Ryan Thacher coming up just short in the doubles quarterfinal against Oklahomas Costin Paval and Dane Webb. Going into the Round of 16 on Friday, Klahn an at-large entrant into the tournament field appeared to be peaking at just the right time on the same University of Georgia courts where he won the 2010 NCAA singles championship, having yet to drop a set and coming off of a upset of No. 4 Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia in the first round. Playing against No. 10-seed Cole Buchanan of Ohio State on Friday, Klahn claimed the first set quickly and jumped out to a 3-0 lead with two break point opportunities in the second set. Buchanan rallied, however, saving both break points en route to taking the second set, but Klahn adapted and rallied to clinch a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 victory. Klahns quarterfinal test against No. 14-seed Nik Scholtz of Mississippi proved to be an easier affair. Scholtz, a freshman, had played three consecutive three-setters prior to Saturdays contest, and his fatigue showed as Klahn claimed an emphatic 6-1, 63 victory. Moving into the semifinals, Klahn was confronted for the third time this year by Johnson, the 2011 singles champion and

holder of a 70-match win streak. Klahn and Johnson grew up together in Southern California and competed against each other countless times, and Klahn was the last player to beat Johnson more than 16 months ago. On Sunday, however, Klahn struggled to threaten Johnsons serve, with the two rivals staying on serve throughout the first set before Johnson broke Klahn in the tenth game to win the set 6-4. In the second set, Klahn and Johnson swapped breaks early on before going down to the wire again, but Johnson eventually came up with a second break to win out 6-4, 7-5. Johnson would go on to repeat as NCAA singles national champion on Monday, beating No. 3-seed Eric Quigley of Kentucky 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Klahn, meanwhile, concluded a standout Cardinal career even with a senior campaign shortened by injury with a 130-34 overall singles record, a 60-22 duals ledger, three All-American awards in both singles and doubles and one singles national championship in 2010. In the doubles draw, Klahn and Thacher faced a dangerous Sweet 16 opponent Friday in No. 16-seed Henrique Cunha and Chris Mengel of Duke. The No.-4 seed Cardinal duo, who have won eight doubles titles together in their time on the Farm, hoped to improve on their 2011 performance when they lost in the tournament final and conclude their prolific pairing on a high note. Cunha and Mengel showed themselves to be capable opponents, taking the first set on a 7-3 tiebreaker and jumping out to a 30 lead in the second set. Klahn and

the Cardinal for the first time all weekend. Stanford now prepares to host Fresno State (30-26, 8-10 Western Athletic Conference) in its regional opener. The two squads met for a three-game series in the third week of the season, with the Bulldogs handing then-No. 1 Cardinal its first loss of the season before Stanford responded with a 16-0 Saturday win. Well, its good that were familiar with them, Marquess said. The bad thing is that Appels only loss is to Fresno State, so thats a real tough four-seed. Marquess also noted Fresno States 2008 College World Series title, when the Bulldogs were also a No. 4 seed in their regional and made one of the greatest Cinderella runs in college sports history en route to the championship. No. 3 Michigan State and No. 2 Pepperdine will play in the early game, scheduled for 1 p.m., before No. 1 Stanford and No. 4 Fresno State meet at 6 p.m.All games in the regional will be televised on ESPN3.com.

It would be the visitors ability to prevent big innings and put up crooked numbers of their own that would turn the tide so dramatically.After five more Cal runs in the fourth, the Cardinal again loaded the bases with one out but could only tally once to make it 9-3. Two-out hitting got each team two more runs in the sixth, but some sloppy seventh-inning fielding extended the Bears lead to 14-5 and fully put the game out of reach. When all was said and done, Cal had burned through eight Stanford pitchers and became the first team all year to score in double-digits against the Cardinal. I just think youve got to execute a little better, junior catcher Eric Smith said after the series. Youve just got to throw the ball over the plays a little better, make the routine plays, execute on offense a little better. It was good to see that we came out and fought real well on Sunday, he added. We got that win and

avoided the sweep. To that point, it had been Krists three doubles and Cal leftfielder Danny Ohs 6-for-10 performance through two games that had highlighted the weekends hitting. But Stanfords bats started to emerge as well on Sunday, with junior leftfielder Tyler Gaffney earning his first start of the weekend and going 3for-5 in the finale. After Cal third baseman Mitch Delfino opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second, junior centerfielder Jake Stewart struck back with a three-run home run. The Bears tallied in the third to make it 3-2, but the Cardinal responded with sophomore second baseman Brett Michael Doran driving in a run. Krists fourth double of the weekend led to another Cal run in the fourth, but Gaffney kept the Cardinal cushion at three with a solo shot to lead off the bottom half of the frame. From there on out, the pitchers were in control. Stephen Piscotty (4-2) gave up just four hits through seven innings, and fellow junior righty Sahil Bloom cleaned up the final two innings to keep Stanford ahead 5-3.The Bears were outhit by

Thacher rallied, however, and made consistent inroads into the Blue Devils serves en route to a 67 (3), 6-4, 6-2 victory. In the quarterfinals, the Cardinal team faced No. 10-seed Paval and Webb, who had struggled to three-set victories in both of their earlier matches. The Sooners, however, made a quick start to the match, claiming the first set 7-5. Klahn and Thacher rallied to take the second set on a tiebreak, but had no response to an Oklahoma break in the third set as they suc-

cumbed to a 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-3 defeat. Paval and Webb went on to lose in the semifinals against No. 1seed and eventual champions Chase Buchanan and Blaz Rola of Ohio State. For both Klahn and Thacher, their exit from the tournament marks the conclusion of sterling Stanford careers, having led the Cardinal lineup through four successful individual and team seasons. For the Stanford mens tennis program, the ability to effectively replace the graduating seniors remains the dominant question to be addressed before next year.

to stay in points. Gibbs persistence paid off. She won three straight games as Burdette began making unforced errors and double faulted on a crucial point. The set evened out at 4-4, and after trading breaks they went into a tiebreak. Burdette again looked poised to win the match, needing just two points to clinch after jumping out to a 5-2 lead. But Gibbs hung on to win five straight points and take the set. At that point, all of the momentum and confidence belonged to the sophomore, and she got an early break on her way to a 6-3 thirdset win. The teammates would later share the joy of winning a championship together, but that would have to wait. As Gibbs stood on her side looking at the

sky with a smile, Burdette sat down on her side of the court and stared off in disbelief. Head coach Lele Forood summed up how it must have felt for her top two players. Its difficult. Its even difficult for the winner because they are really excited, but also they feel bad for their teammate, she said. Gibbs and Burdette gave each other time apart to soak up the emotions from the match, but there was more work to be done. I knew there was no way I was going to let that singles match get in the way of us performing the way I thought we could in doubles, Burdette said. Burdette eventually found Gibbs to tell her how proud she was and how excited she was for doubles. I told her congratulations, and I was like You can come inside. Im fine. Im not going to bite. You can come inside and sit and hang out until we go on the doubles court, Burdette said. Gibbs certainly appreciated

the gesture, and their hardfought battle in singles only seemed to help their play on the doubles court. She was such a professional and such a great teammate . . . We were as close as teammates as we have ever been playing for the championship match in doubles, Gibbs said. Just over an hour later, the two paired up on the same side of the court to win the doubles trophy. Gibbs and Burdette defeated Georgias Nadja Gilchrist and Chelsey Gullickson 6-2, 6-4. It was the second NCAA doubles championship in a row for Burdette and the first for Gibbs after entering this years doubles draw as the No. 2 seed. Stanford has now won three straight NCAA doubles titles and 15 overall. We played really well, super solid, and I couldnt be more proud, Burdette said. Contact David Perez at davidp3 @stanford.edu.
