    ROTC group awaitsStanfords response

    By KATE ABBOTTSENIOR STAFF WRITER

    An open letter to the Stanfordcommunity asking for feedback onthe potential return of ROTC to cam-pus received fewer than 20 e-mail re-sponses and six phone calls as ofThursday morning, according toEwart Thomas, a professor of psy-chology and the chair of an ad hoccommittee on ROTC.

    The letter,sent last Thursday, is themost recent example of gauging com-

    munity opinion in the mounting de-bate over whether or not the programshould return to campus. The FacultySenate formed the committee inMarch after professors William Perry49 M.S. 50 and David Kennedy 63recommended that discussions be re-visited.

    We all agreed that we need toknow what the Stanford communityfeels about ROTC,Thomas wrote inan e-mail to The Daily.We decided tostart the letter with our impressions ofthe key issues surrounding ROTC . . .in the hope that that would encourageresponders to give us feedback aboutthe issues we think are important.

    It would be great to see studentsshare their opinions on the ROTCissue with the Faculty Senate, saidAnn Thompson 11, a cadet in the

    Army branch of the program. Stu-dents Ive met over the past fouryears have been very curious about,and almost always supportive of,ROTC.

    The issues highlighted in the letterinclude academic credit and instruc-tor selection for ROTC courses.Theletter also provides an overview ofthe history of ROTC at Stanford.

    The committee met three timesthis quarter and consists of severalprofessors, Vice Provost for StudentAffairs Greg Boardman and two stu-

    dents, one of whom participates inUC-Berkeleys Navy ROTC pro-gram.When asked about responses tothe open letter, Boardman deferredcomment to Thomas, who said the let-ter was the first step in gauging com-munity input.

    In January, the [committee] willhave a town hall style meeting withstudents and another meeting withfaculty,Thomas said.Also, the com-mittee is gathering information abouthow a few other universities arrangetheir ROTC programs. After that,well digest the information gatheredand try to make a recommendation.

    The lead author of a recent study on suicidal and ac-cidental deaths on Caltrain tracks identifying time andlocation patterns,Jan Botha,hopes the studys results canbe applied to other commuter rail quarters around thecountry.

    The study comes as a prerequisite to determining thecauses of some railroad suicides.Botha, a transportationengineering professor at San Jose State University,useddata from August 1992 to December 2009 in an effort toensure that the sample was large enough to be statistical-ly significant and also to account for inevitable changesin the train system and surrounding environment overtime.

    The reason why we picked such a long period is be-cause if you divide the number of years into the numberof deaths, they are still very rare events, Botha said,adding, Our results wouldnt be too meaningful if wedid it over a period [of] 10 years,because things change,

    like the roads, traffic flow and population.All of thatchanges.

    Bothas research is part of a larger study conductedby the Mineta Transportation Institute, according toMineta executive director Rod Diridon. It will con-tribute to the first phase of the Mineta study,which focus-es on the causes of these incidents.

    Well be doing a whole panel of additional studiesleading to a study that will recommend remedial action,not only for Caltrain, but other systems around the na-tion, Diridon said.Well look at the issue from everyperspective imaginable, from physical structures,barri-ers,warning signals, lights, signs, and all the way to psy-chological issues.

    While the study cannot evaluate the success of cur-rent suicide prevention methods, it recommends thatCaltrain continue to monitor suicides to detect patternsand attempt to mitigate the circumstances where the sui-cides could be prevented, if such prevention methodswould be feasible from economic and other viewpoints.

    Botha said that while the study provides analysis of

    the historical range of Caltrain deaths, it canexplanations of the causes for suicides.

    At no point did we attempt to speculconclusions about the cause of the suicideare not experts in that,Botha said.We onlclusions about the patterns,what we can see

    Results show that the peak periods of sulate with high-operating periods on the trthey tend to cluster at the beginning of the mresearchers couldnt find a distinctive trmonth or year that the deaths occurred,themined that most occur on weekdays,especiaand Fridays.

    on Axess?

    By ELLEN HUETMANAGING EDITOR

    StanfordWho, the searchable public directory of Stan-fords students,faculty and staff,now displays students resi-dences and room numbers by default due to an unintendedchange by the University registrars office over the summer.

    The change in default display information was not a re-sult of a change in registrar policy, according to UniversityRegistrar Thomas Black.Rather, he said,there was a changebetween Student Housing and PeopleSoft to account for acompliance issue with SEVIS,the federal Student and Ex-change Visitor Information Services.

    That change inadvertently accounted for the change indisplay in Stanford Who, Black said in an e-mail to TheDaily.

    IT communications director Nancy Ware also confirmedthat a change in the information sent from Housing account-ed for the new information displayed on public listings forstudents.

    Schools may publicly disclose directory informationabout students,including address, under the federal FamilyEducational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The law re-quires that schools give students 18 and older a reasonableamount of time to ask the school not to release directory in-formation,according to the U.S.Department of Education.

    Black and Ware both noted that under the law,Stanfordconsiders students room numbers as directory information.

    Black said students were not notified of the change in dis-

    played information because the change was an inadvertentbyproduct of aforementioned compliance change we wereprogramming over the summer.

    We are currently taking steps to address the concernsbeing raised,Black added.

    Information on StanfordWho can be accessed from anyInternet connection, with a Stanford-only listing optionfor those who would like to keep certain information privyonly to those with a SUNet ID.

    To edit which information is publicly displayed, studentscan log into Axess, go to the Student Center tab,scroll tothe bottom and click on Privacy Settings.

    Black said he hopes students educate themselves abouttheir informations availability.

    We encourage students to review the information ontheir privacy options and make decisions accordingly, hesaid.

    Information Technology Services maintains the Stan-fordWho website using data from the University registrar.

    Jose, simply because its older anddenser.But if you look at what happenssouth of San Jose, there are very fewsuicides and deaths because of thesmaller population.

    Suicides were concentrated at the25-mile distance between Burlingameand Sunnyvale stations,while only onesuicide occurred south of San Jose.Thiscould be explained by these areasolder neighborhoods,which suggests astronger integration of the railroadwith the community in these areas.

    Additionally,both suicides and un-intended deaths tended to occur far-ther away from stations. Twenty per-cent of the total suicides occurred atCaltrain stations and two-thirds of thesuicides occurred within one half of amile from stations.On the other hand,a larger number of suicides occurrednear a road crossing,as 43 percent oc-curred within one tenth of a mile awayand almost two-thirds occurred withinthree tenths of a mile.

    Not all Caltrain deaths can be cate-gorized as suicides.

    Suicides are relatively uniformpattern, whereas the unintendeddeaths have spikes,which means thatthere may be ongoing problems,Botha said.This may be because thereare more people crossing there, orthere might be a site obstruction.

    In some cases of unintended deaths,these spikes were eliminated as im-

    provements were made on the prob-lems causing these accidents, Bothasaid.

    But Bothas study is only the begin-ning.

    We have to find the causes first,Diridon said.I think [Botha] has donea good job of getting started in that di-rection.

    Caltrain spokeswoman ChristineDunn said prevention efforts remain atop priority, an endeavor that gainedeven more importance after the 19 in-cidents last year.New methods includemore signs around stations that displaya suicide hotline.

    Moreover, Diridon emphasizedthat suicide is a community-based issuethat is not limited to this particular casestudy.

    This issue is a concern all across thenation,not just here at Caltrain,Diri-don said.In fact,we sometimes forgetthat Caltrain is one of the best-run trainsystems in the country,in terms of per-

    formance, passengers carried andother measures.

    versity and UC-Berkeley for train-ing and do not receive academiccredit. All three ROTC brancheswere removed from Stanford in1973 amid antiwar sentiment andconcerns that courses would notmeet academic standards.

    The context for examining theROTC-at-Stanford issue in 2010 issimilar to the context of 40 yearsago, inasmuch as (a) any proposedStanford-ROTC program wouldhave to pass muster as a compati-ble and worthwhile academic en-deavor, (b) the value of such a pro-gram to Stanford and the nation isstill viewed by some as high andby others as low,t he letter states.

    The letter also says the present

    context differs from the earlier onebecause of voluntary service and be-cause the federal dont ask, donttell policy is a considerable road-block to bringing ROTC back tocampus.

    Thomas said the majority of re-sponses thus far are positive to-ward ROTC.

    The respondents typically donot specify exactly what this means,and the committee is not yet at thepoint of knowing what sort of pro-gram might be feasible, Thomassaid. We will have to examinewhether course credit can be givenfor ROTC courses, but we haventdone so as yet.

    The committee is acceptingcommunity feedback until Nov. 22.It expects to report its findings inthe spring.

    Spending a summer in Pariswriting a novel sounds likethe premise of a romancenovel. Being paid to do itsounds downright mythical.

    Yet, one Stanford student has beengiven the opportunity to do just this.Others have gotten the chance tostudy Hugo Chavezs social programsin Venezuela and the relationship be-

    tween the belief in reincarnation andorgan donations in Taiwan.

    How? The Chappell-Lougeescholarship,a grant sponsored by Un-dergraduate Advising and Researchfor sophomores wishing to pursue in-dividually designed research projectsin the humanities, qualitative socialsciences or creative arts, gives accept-ed scholars up to $5,600 to pursuetheir research.

    History professor Carolyn Chap-pell-Lougee, former dean of under-graduate studies (the title precedingVice Provost for Undergraduate Ed-ucation) oversaw the creation of thescholarship in the mid-1980s.

    We had at that point a tiny pro-gram for undergraduate research op-portunities,she said. We were com-ing upon the 100th birthday of theUniversity.

    The drive for undergraduate re-search funding became a big item inthe Centennial Campaign, Chappell-Lougee said. The first thing we de-cided was to put money under thisprogram in hopes it would contributeto a change in undergraduate aca-demic culture.

    The Chappell-Lougee scholarshipwas named after the professor andher father,Harold Chappell,to honorher work as dean from 1982 to 1987and to commemorate his life goal ofhelping economically disadvantagedstudents pursue higher education.

    A unique perk of the Chappell-Lougee scholarship is its focus on self-directed research, a motivating factorfor many sophomores who apply.De-vney Hamilton 13 described thescholarship as a really unique chanceto dive in that lets you learn by doingit yourself.Hamilton will be submit-ting an application to study blind stu-dents and how their education can be

    aided by technology in Turkey.Her in-terest comes from a year that shelived in Ankara, during which sheworked at a school for the blind.

    Students in the past have likewisedrawn on cultural experiences of theirown to create the ideas behind theirprojects. Miles Osgood 11, a Chap-pell-Lougee scholar who spent thesummer of his sophomore year inParis drafting a novel about a collegeart professor turned artist,had previ-ously spent two years in Paris.Similar-ly, scholar Baljinnyam Dashdorj 12used his Mongolian background totranslate works by Plato into Mongo-lian.

    Travelling abroad,however,is nota necessity for the scholarship. Pastprojects have included a creative artproject inspired by a Native Ameri-can reservation in Montana and astudy researching law and educationright here at Stanford.

    Professor Chappell-Lougee com-pared the scholarship to a candystore for students who are highly mo-tivated and can write their ownscript.The type of student the Chap-pell-Lougee seeks,she described,is avery high-achieving, very confidentstudent looking for special opportuni-ties to go beyond regulation curricu-lum.

    For many applicants, the Chap-pell-Lougee is a way to delve into top-ics of personal interest. ApplicantIrteza Bint-Farid 13 hopes to conductan analysis on the gender disparitiesin the Bangladeshi health system todetermine whether the problem ismore cultural or infrastructural.

    I remember my grandmother,Bint-Farid said, explaining her inter-est in her proposed topic. Shes avery religious and educated olderwoman, and even she had a problem

    going to a male doctor for operations. . . I remember she cried about it be-cause there was nothing else shecould do.

    Im interested in internationalhealth and this would be a great open-ing experience,she added.

    The purpose of directing the pro-gram toward sophomores, accordingto Chappell-Lougee,is to get the stu-

    dents early in their careers to fosteran interest in field research at an ear-lier stage than is typical. Bint-Faridand Hamilton both cited Anthropolo-gy 92, a workshop on undergraduateresearch-proposal writing, as a help-ful resource for navigating the unfa-miliar territory of applying for agrant.

    On its value in undergraduate ed-

    ucation, both scholarshave rallied around onlated by Bint-Farid:Tturity and independenrequires of a studengrows as a person,as anas a scholar.

    President Hennessy ended his freshmanconvocation speech this year with aquote from William Ernest Henleys

    1875 poem,Invictus,which reads:It mattersnot how strait the gate, How charged with pun-ishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.

    His message to students was that opportu-nities will surround us during our time at Stan-ford, but we are ultimately the masters of ourfates. It is for us to forge our paths and makethe most of our time here.

    I was interested to hear a faculty memberobject to President Hennessys final words acouple weeks ago, concerned, I think, withsending a message to incoming students thatthe University is solely an enabler,that it pro-vides the fuel to speed us along our present tra-

    jectories but not the detours and pit stops thatmight expose alternative paths, increase ourawareness and deepen our current capacities.

    The fear is that encouraging students to have avery strong sense of personal autonomy whenit comes to our education contributes to stu-dent resentment to any type of requirements.

    My immediate reaction was to think thatthe masters of our fate ship has alreadysailed (in fact, Im thinking its probably some-where near Antarctica right now). If ever apresident could be speaking to the choir,it is intelling an incoming Stanford class made up sopredominately of enterprising students thatthey are the masters of their fate.

    And in some sense, this strong feeling ofpersonal autonomy that stems from studentsself-motivation is our biggest strength.Indeed,

    real success is never merely the product of co-ercion; it springs from a personal drive to gobeyond what others demand of us,from think-ing of ourselves as agents who forge our ownfutures. The accompanying resentment inmany students to paternalism in our educationis wrapped up in the drive behind the remark-able things that students do.

    Nonetheless, there really are frighteningconsequences to students adopting a blanketattitude of resistance to any form of education-al paternalism.Our current system sometimesfails to shift trajectories,deepen capacities andopen new windows in the ways students needmost.As a friend once pointed out to me,therewere lawyers in the Bush administration whowent through both undergraduate and gradu-ate educations at some of the most prestigiousuniversities in the country and yet did not be-lieve in evolution. I experienced my own sur-prise last year when I met a Stanford upper-

    classman who was majoring in biology and didnot believe in macroevolution.

    It is often tempting to think that these obvi-ous failures in cultivating an earnest scientificapproach to the world are the fault of educa-tion requirements (if only shed been taughtthe scientific method, or been given a class onevolution, then she would understand!). Forstudents who remain sympathetic to theirclasses, requirements help. But they achievethe least with just those students in whom wehope they would achieve the most. They in-crease the resentment that impairs deep learn-ing and give students a chance to illustrate allthe innovative ways in which we can meet re-

    quirements without meeting th

    Aysha decided not to extenmetaphor in this contact line.thoughts at [email protected]

    In 1966, Associate Justice William Dou-glas presented the dissenting opinion inOsborn v.United States, in which he ob-

    served, We are rapidly entering the age ofno privacy.Today Douglas words ring truerthan ever; with the rise of social networkingsites like Facebook and Twitter, people areno longer living their lives in private, butrather recording them and storing them onthese Web-based platforms. That data be-comes semi-public information. Even withthe most stringent privacy settings,the com-panies that maintain those websites alsomaintain multiple copies of your picturesand notes.Despite the lack of concern thatsome people have for privacy, there are seri-ous implications for turning over so muchpersonal data to companies without under-standing how they use it.

    Recently, Stanford began displaying stu-

    dents room numbers by default on Stan-fordWho,the public,online campus directo-ry.The University did not notify students ofthe change to default settings.We considerthis a serious violation of student privacy.

    If you have used StanfordWho before,you know that it is a useful service for find-ing e-mail addresses and phone numbers forUniversity affiliates. However, finding most

    of this information does not require aSUNet ID; it is available to anyone with anInternet connection.A students room num-ber will only disappear if the student optsout by changing his or her privacy settingsvia the Axess Student Center online.

    The editorial board believes default ac-cess to such information should at least re-quire a modicum of security, such as aSUNet ID.

    Moreover, the board has failed to find acompelling reason for this setting change.While Stanford considers students roomnumbers as directory information underthe federal Family Educational Rights andPrivacy Act, this use of student informationis particularly troubling because it bridgesthe gap between the virtual and physicalworlds, potent ial ly endangeringstudents.The University allows students to

    opt out to protect their personal informa-tion, but puts that option in Axess, whichtends to obfuscate what should be simpletasks.

    The University should seriously recon-sider this shift and it should make it easierfor students to control what personal infor-mation they would like to make public bydefault.

    EDITORIAL

    Ijust dont know what to do with this one.Afriend of mine last month came out of thepost office and was assaulted by a young

    lady with a clipboard. Not unusual. The girlwanted to talk about the legalization of mari-uana,which my friend supported,and she didt oo, n at ur al ly. B ut h er p oi nt i nclipboarding/campaigning/hailing downstrangers was not to spread the Word aboutthe Herb, but to make sure people knew howto vote correctly on the proposition.She waseven collecting phone numbers to send outtext message reminders on election day:voteno on 19,because no means yes! Some peo-ple were apparently very confused.

    My friend gave her a fake phone number(or possibly yours?), went home, looked thisup and was very upset. In case you dontknow,Prop. 19 was in favor of the legalizationof marijuana:the girl was lying.Im a little sur-

    prised nobodys been arrested. But Im moresurprised I cant find anything about this onthe Internet.Granted,its not an easy search,seeing as how there are (lots and lots of) peo-ple out there who think that either smokingmarijuana does not cure canceror the legal-ization of marijuana would not lead to theapocalypse is misinformation.

    But something this egregious should befloating to the top of a Prop. 19 Misinforma-tion No query. This mustve been a cam-paign.She just cant have been alone.Nobodytries to affect an election on a vote-by-votelevel (talking to people individually) withoutenlisting lots of help,even if the methodologyis crude fraud and sabotage.Actually, espe-cially in that case,because a good 10 to 30 per-cent of the people you lie to will at some pointrealize you were lying.

    The nerve! For an organization to even at-tempt something like this? Its a little scary tothink of how much they actually influencedthe election.Most of the people who wouldvote yes arent actually people whod talkabout it, and wouldnt necessarily double-check if they thought they knew how they

    ere oti g ( or trust the ballot if the d bee

    with a clipboard that the way they wanted tovote was actually counterintuitive). Has thishappened before? Where you werent bulliedout of your vote, or you didnt care enoughnot to inform yourself,but somebody was justplain lying to you about the ballot?

    This is completely different from the casein which the voters knowledge of the issue isheavily and actively censored to the pointthat he cant make an informed decision.Everyone in this case can access the truth.Everyone the girl talked to had easy access tothe truth. She wasnt about to stop them fromgoing home and looking online.She was justhanding them the lie,making the lie the easi-er thing and swaddling it in a social interac-tion.

    That this was attempted, possibly success-fully, might be a sad indicator of the currentpolitical culture of young people.Obama, etcetera, has made voting cool,but cool as aconcept,as an abstract force, is a socially in-stantiated thing.If enough cool people say itscool,its cool. It doesnt have to do with opti-mizing the good or moral principles. Thevoter motivated by either of these forceschecks the website, looks up news clips or atleast reads the fucking proposition beforechecking the box.The voter motivated by fear

    just keeps his head down and does what hestold.But a voter motivated by cooljust wantsto feel like a part of something hip, young andalive. And a friendly little text message onElection Day,making sure youre someone inthe know, does just that.

    Have you ever wondered how VadenHealth Center gets feedback from stu-dents? Or how you can provide input

    on services and new directions youd like to seeimplemented at Vaden? Thats why were here.

    We are members of the Vaden Student Ad-visory Committee, an ASSU-appointed com-mittee that has been charged to serve as a well-informed link between Vaden and the studentbody, providing advice to the director of theVaden Health Center. The committee providesfeedback on Vadens services and programs,suggests new directions to ensure alignmentwith students core values and needs and worksto educate and inform the student body aboutVaden services and programs.In short,our goalis to improve health care for students on cam-pus and ensure that student feedback is relayeddirectly to Vaden.

    The Vaden Student Advisory Committeeconsists of three undergraduate students,threegraduate students, Vaden staff members andthe Vaden director. Current projects of thecommittee include improving bike safety

    through a coordi ated effort ith other oi ti i i f

    dent,but its actually a standard question whenproviding comprehensive, primary medicalcare to ask all women of child-bearing years thedate of their last menstrual period at the begin-ning of the visit.

    1) Regular menstruation is an indicator ofgood health,just like having normal blood pres-sure (which the clinicians also check at eachvisit). Many women skip periods because theyare stressed, over-exercise or have poor nutri-tion, which is detrimental to their health. Theproviders at Vaden pick up on this at a routinevisit because they inquire about their last men-strual period in an effort to encourage a healthylifestyle.

    2) If the clinicians are going to prescribemedication or take an x-ray,they are obligatedto ask if there is any chance of pregnancy, asthere can be potential harm to a baby fromthese procedures.

    3) Women often come in because of missedperiods,and it would be an obvious oversight ifthe provider didnt inquire about a possiblepregnancy as the cause.

    STUDENT LIFE

    Students lead effort for farm wor

    By CASSANDRA FELICIANODESK EDITOR

    Six members of the Stanford FarmProject (SFP) in Hawaiian-themedshirts braved the cold outside TraderJoes in Palo Alto yesterday, askingshoppers to join the fight for farmworkers in Florida with the tagline,When was the last time you got araise?The farm workers they intend-ed to help havent received one in 30years.

    The canvassing event was a jointeffort by Stanford Labor ActionCoalition (SLAC) and SFP, studentsgroups dedicated to supporting work-ers rights and the development of fairand sustainable food systems, respec-tively. Daniel Murray, a third-yeargraduate student in modern thoughtand literature and a member of bothgroups,coordinated the event.

    Murray and the group solicited sig-natures from shoppers for a petitionaddressed to the manager of TraderJoes their contribution to the firstNational Supermarket Week of Ac-tion. The Coalition of ImmokaleeWorkers (CIW) and theStudent/Farmworker Alliance (SFA),a national network of youth based in

    Florida, led the week-long, nation-wide event, which ends on Sunday.

    Many farm workers are deniedsafe, healthy working conditions, arepaid poverty wages, suffer intimida-tion and in some cases are victims ofmodern-day slavery,Murray said.

    Stanfords letter urged TraderJoes to join forces with CIW, a farm-worker organization based inImmokalee, Fla., as part of a land-mark agreement to extend CIWsfair food principlesto 90 percent ofthe states tomato farm workers.Thepartnership would aim to ensure thatworkers earn minimum wage.

    According to the letter,the tomatofarm workers, who produce 95 per-cent of the countrys tomatoes, arepaid 50 cents for every 32 pounds,alevel that has remained the samesince 1980.At this rate,a worker mustpick more than 2.25 tons of tomatoesto reach the equivalent of the mini-

    mum wage in a typical 10-hour work-day.

    The groups allege workers are alsooften denied a number of workersrights, including overtime pay,healthinsurance, sick leave, paid vacations,pension and the ability to form unionsto improve working conditions.

    The choice by SFP to canvass atTrader Joes CIW is also targeting

    Publix, Ahold, Kroger and WalMart is motivated by a sense of duty aswell as its close proximity to campus.

    As students who shop at TraderJoes and as Trader Joes is part of ourcommunity,we feel that we have a re-sponsibility to struggle in solidaritywith these farm workers to ensurethat Trader Joes continues to im-prove their sustainability and laborstandards, Murray said, adding thatthe success would result in a formalagreement on Trader Joes part toguarantee that they will be buyingfrom farms that agree with the fairfood policy.

    Murray said Trader Joes is reluc-tant to sign what would be a landmarkagreement because it already buysfrom growers who meet those condi-tions. But SFP and SLAC remain es-pecially skeptical, Murray said, be-cause Trader Joes officials are silenton the exact details of where they get

    their produce.The canvassers stay

    and at the end of the nlection of at least 50 siray also coordinated afort last Sunday,for wdents showed up.

    the PISA, Hanushek said. Re-searchers compared NAEP datafrom American eighth graders to in-ternational PISA data from the sameage level.

    We took the NAEP definition ofan advanced student and figured outwhat proportion of U.S. studentsscored at the advanced math level six percent, Hanushek said. Wethen went to the PISA data and found

    what PISA score corresponded to sixpercent of U.S. students.

    The method also allowed re-searchers to compare the scores of in-dividual states. Massachusetts camein first with 11 percent scoring at theadvanced level placing it 14th in-ternationally while Mississippicame in last with only 1.4 percent atthe advanced level, roughly at thelevel of Turkey and Thailand.

    California ranked 34th in the

    country with 4.5 percent, below thenational average of 6.04. Silicon Val-ley was on par with Greece and Por-tugal.

    Hanushek said the team thoughtlow scores in the U.S.might be in partattributable to statistically significantgroups predisposed to academic dis-advantage. Even when they isolatedstudents with at least one college-ed-ucated parent, they found only 10.3percent reached the advanced level,agroup still outperformed by all test-takers from 16 nations.

    That pinpoints the issue that wehave to improve: our schools,Hanushek said. We cant just pre-

    tend that its all because of the par-ents.

    Deborah Stipek,dean of the Stan-ford School of Education,agreed thatthe root of the problem lies almostentirely in the schools.

    On average, elementary schoolteachers perpetuate poor teaching,Stipek said. She attributes this to thelow status and low pay of Americanteachers compared to those in othercountries.

    In Finland and Japan, teachersare extremely high-status and well-paid, she said. Here, they are paidvery poorly relative to other profes-sions in the country that require thesame level of education.

    For example, she said, peoplewho have strong backgrounds inmath can go into stronger, more lu-crative positions than teaching.

    Fundamental changes must bemade to the teaching profession inthe U.S., both Hanushek and Stipekargued, for any significant improve-ments to be seen. In California, thestates role as a leader in technologi-cal innovation is at stake, Hanushek

    said.I have told our governor that if

    California is going to continue to bethe center for innovation, its proba-bly going to have to import fromother states and other countries, hesaid.Right now, were just not pro-ducing a competitive group of stu-dents.

    While stingy defense was enough to earn aseason-opening win against San Diego, theStanford mens basketball team knew it wouldtake a much-improved offensive effort to de-feat a tough nonconference opponent.

    The Cardinal responded by unleashing itsarsenal of three-point shooters against Virginiaon Thursday night, winning 81-60 in a gamethat saw a combined 47 attempts from outsidethe arc.

    Stanford (2-0) was led by junior guard Jere-my Green, who overcame a disastrous seasonopener against San Diego by scoring 21 points,a mark that led five Cardinal players in doublefigures. Green was 8-for-13 from the floor, in-cluding 5-for-9 from deep.

    I feel like tonight I was just a little more pa-tient and let the game come to me,Green said.My teammates stepped up and helped methrough it.

    Hes a three-point specialist,added Stan-ford head coach Johnny Dawkins.

    Freshman guard Aaron Bright was alsosolid from distance, making all four of histhree-point attempts to finish with 12 points.Injust his second collegiate game,Bright was vis-ibly more comfortable and confident than inhis debut.

    Ive always had confidence in myself,Bright said.It definitely felt good though,Imnot going to lie.It f eels good to have that barri-

    er lifted.Junior forward Andrew Zimmerman and

    freshman forward Anthony Brown hit twotriples apiece for Stanford, which finished theday 13-for-23 beyond the arc.

    However, it was not always easy going forthe Card, which took its time finding an offen-sive rhythm.

    Stanford started the game in an offensivefunk, forcing Green to take the scoring loadupon his shoulders.With limited off-ball move-ment and off-balance jumpers,the Cardinal fellinto a 13-7 hole just six minutes after tipoff.

    Virginia (2-1) came out firing from theperimeter, beginning with two straight shotsfrom distance by senior guard Mustapha Far-rakhan and freshman guard Joe Harris. TheCardinal was slow in switching off of screens,yielding open looks from the perimeter withVirginias quick passing around the a rc.

    Give Virginia a lot of credit. They shotlights out, Dawkins said.Sixty percent fromtwos, 55 percent from the three-point line they were really executing very well.

    However, the Cavaliers failed to capitalizeon Stanfords sluggish start and kept the Cardin the game by committing several turnovers insuccession. At one point, Virginia head coachTony Bennett was left shaking his head afterhis team committed its fifth travel of the half.

    Stanford was led in the first half by Green,who shook off a poor outing on Monday night

    Strong start continues over Virginia

    By NATE ADAMSDESK EDITOR

    If theres one thing to be said about the Car-dinals early success in the 2010 playoffs,its thatall the big moments have involved the teams tal-ented youth. In their first two do-or-die contestslast weekend, the Pac-10 champions enjoyedgame-winning goals from freshman forwardSydney Payne and sophomore defender AlinaGarciamendez, who combined for a relativelylow nine goals on the entire season. Out of thefive total goals scored in those games,none havecome from national goals leader Christen Pressand two have been from first-time scorers on thecollegiate level.

    Regardless of where it comes from,the No. 1Cardinal (20-0-2) will look to continue its win-ning ways tonight when it hosts UCLA (13-7-2)in the round of 16.

    Stanford head coach Paul Ratcliffe, who re-cently received his third consecutive Pac-10

    coach of the year honor,said he isnt concernedwith the minor shift in goal production.

    Im not surprised about [our young play-ers], he said.I think this is totally normal,andthe great thing is that Christen is still playingfantastic soccer. But other people are steppingup and being able to score,and as long as theteam keeps winning, its not an issue at all. Ithink its great to see the younger playersemerging and making a big impact, I think itsgoing to be harder for the other teams to matchup with us.

    Stanford has made use of its talent on thebench throughout the season, and Ratcliffesays theres plenty of reason for that to contin-ue even deep into the single-elimination tour-nament.

    Im looking at the quality right now of thetraining sessions, and whos looking sharp, hesaid. A lot of the younger players are reallystarting to emerge and impress me,so I wouldntbe surprised to see them getting minutes thisweekend and making a huge impact.

    Theres no doubt,though, that the Cardinalsgo-to scorer this season has been Press.With 23

    goals and seven assists, shes averaging more

    than two points per game. But the senior for-ward hasnt found the back of the net in herteams last three contests not a particularlylong drought,but a notable one given her usualpace of production.

    Its not discouraging for me,Press said,be-cause I hope that even if my role is just to pull de-fenders away,if Im able to do that and open upchannels for other people,then I can definitelytry to consider that productive.But at the sametime,there were obviously opportunities whereI couldve scored, so,you know, Im always try-ing to get better.

    For her phenomenal regular season, Presswas named the Top Drawer player of the yearearlier this week. She earned a share of theaward last season alongside former teammateKelley OHara,and is the first player to earn theaward in consecutive years.The national scoringleader in 2010,Press also broke Stanford recordsin career goals (68) and points (176) this season,and tied is tied for the mark in assists (40).

    In case she needed any,Press may find someadded inspiration to continue finding the netwhen her team faces the Bruins. In a heatedmatch in the national semifinals last season,Press played the hero with a golden goal threeminutes and 25 seconds into overtime.

    The Bruins were a dominant team in 2009,competing down to the wire for the Pac-10 titleand going 21-2-1 before Stanford knocked themout of the national tournament. ThoughUCLAs record isnt quite as impressive this sea-son, theyve earned notable victories in theNCAAs so far. After sneaking past BYU onpenalty kicks, the Bruins earned a 2-1 victoryover fourth-seeded UCF to advance to theround of 16.

    I think UCLA is a fantastic team,Ratcliffesaid.Any team that can get to the Sweet 16 hasproven, with this years team, I mean, thattheyre a really strong opponent. I think itsgoing to be a challenging match.

    Stanford faces the Bruins tonight at 7 p.m.atLaird Q.Cagan Stadium.The winner will face ei-ther Marquette or Florida State next weekend.

    more comfortable and at ease, youhave a more definite role on theteam,she said.I think knowing that,its a big goal to be one of those go-toplayers. Thats something I keepworking on every day to be a big-timecontributor to this team.

    Tinkle says shes playing the role ofa small forward or shooting guard this

    year instead of taking over Appelsspot at center,and that her own versa-tility as well as her teammates gives the Cardinal a huge advantagedown the road.

    Me and Nnemkadi [Owgumike]and Kayla [Pedersen] all have theability to step out whenever we needto, she said.Its a compliment thatwe can mix it up depending on whoour opponent is.VanDerveer said that versatility is apositive thing,but it has some conse-quences for the players like Tinklewho are stepping into new roles this

    season.Itll take some time [to set a start-

    ing lineup],and it might be based on acouple things, she said. All threefreshmen played exceedingly well,butthey dont have the margin for error.Theyre getting thrown into the deepend of the pool.

    But even with an opening win, aNo. 3 national ranking and a startingspot on the floor,Tinkle isnt afraid tosay that there is room for improve-ment.

    We have a lot to work on, shesaid.Rutgers definitely hung in therewith us,and we need to exceed the ex-pectations that we have for our-

    selves.Tinkle says those expectations areclear,and that setting the bar high willhelp the Cardinal both achieve theirgoals this year and fill the holes fromlast year.

    Coming here,they expect the bestfrom you,they want to see all aspectsof the game, Tinkle said. With thepresence of Jayne and Rosalyn beinggone,all of us can share that role,andeveryone wants to step up and equal-ly contribute.

    This Big Game will have significantbowl implications for both Stanfordand Cal.

    The Cardinal still has hopes for aninvitation to a prestigious BCS bowl,but would see those hopes extin-guished with a loss to Cal. Stanfords

    best chance is to receive an at-largeberth, since the Pac-10s automaticberth will go to Oregon if it wins the

    conference. Officials from the RoseBowl were present at Stanfords lasthome game against then-No. 15 Ari-zona,and Sugar Bowl representativesmade the trip to Tempe last weekend tosee the Card take on the Sun Devils.

    With a win over Stanford,the Gold-en Bears will gain bowl eligibility andbe guaranteed another trip to the post-season.Cal could even get into one of

    the bowls higher in the Pac-10s peckingorder due to the dearth of bowl-eligibleteams in the conference this season.

    However,even if Cal falls to Stan-ford,it still has a strong chance to earnbowl eligibility, with a home gameagainst Washington to close out its sea-son next weekend.

    After its lackluster performancelast weekend,the focus will be square-ly on the Stanford offense to reach thesame level that it achieved against Ari-zona and Washington, when it scored

    over 40 points in eachredshirt sophomore qudrew Luck,the unit on

    Bright also joined the distanceparty,hitting three triples of his ownin the opening period including atie-breaking three in transition astime expired to finish the halfwith nine points. Bright served asthe teams primary ball handler forthe majority of the half, with Stan-

    ford head coach Jonny Dawkinselecting to play turnover-prone jun-ior guard Jarrett Mann off the ball.

    Stanford entered the break lead-ing 37-34, overcoming an impres-sive 60 percent first-half shootingperformance by the Cavaliers with a57.7 percent rate of its own.

    The Cardinals offensive momen-tum carried over into the start of thesecond half with a quick 5-0 run be-hind two buckets and a free throwfrom junior forward Josh Owens,who was limited in the first half afterpicking up two quick fouls.

    A Bennett timeout sparked theCavaliers as Harris hit threestraight attempts from beyond thearc and single-handedly brought histeam back within a point.

    Stanford responded once again,this time with freshman forwardAnthony Brown. Brown sank twothrees from opposite wings in suc-cession, sending Maples Pavilioninto a frenzy and giving the Cardi-nal an eight-point lead.

    Dawkins was again pleased, butcautiously optimistic with the per-formance of Brown,Bright and therest of the freshman class.

    Its a process, Dawkins said.Both kids gave us a big lift off thebench.These kids are freshmen,andthey are going to have their ups anddowns. Im glad they had their upstonight. If they continue to work as

    hard as theyve been working,theyllcontinue to see improvement.The three-point barrage contin-

    Zimmermann followed by doinghis best LeBron James impression,thunderously blocking a layup at-tempt from behind,which led into atransition bucket for Brown.A Har-ris miss at the other end was re-bounded by Brown, who wentcoast-to-coast for a layup plus thefoul, extending Stanfords lead to69-50 and putting the game effec-tively out of reach.
