    New federal regulations require that students re-ceiving federal aid funds meet five standards of Satis-factory Academic Progress (SAP), according to theUniversity Financial Aid Office website.

    The new Program Integrity Regulations, whichtook effect July 1, require that students maintain a 2.0minimum cumulative GPA,earn at least nine units perquarter and 36 units over three quarters, are enrolledfor no longer than 18 undergraduate quarters andmeet a minimum cumulative pace of progression thatis set by each undergraduate institution.

    Stanfords Financial Aid Office has set the requiredpace of progression how many units a student com-pletes divided by how many units a student attempts at 60 percent.

    The federal government doesnt want to pay foryou to keep trying to take classes and dropping out atthe last minute,said Director of Financial Aid KarenCooper.

    Although the Department of Education has alwaysmaintained SAP requirements for students on federalor state financial aid, this set of regulations is the firstto set a higher standard for academic progress than theUniversitys own enrollment requirements,due to thenew pace of progression regulation.

    I think its another prompt for students to beaware of the body of coursework they are signing upfor and to think thoughtfully and deliberately in con-sultation with one or more advisers to ensure that thebody of coursework that theyre planning for them-selves is attainable, said Randy Williams, associatedean of Undergraduate Advising and Research(UAR).

    Due to differing standards between the Universi-tys enrollment requirements and the federal aid aca-demic progress requirements, both UAR and the Fi-nancial Aid Office will be communicating with stu-dents on federal or state aid about their academicprogress.

    Im a little concerned about how students will feelabout the Financial Aid Office approaching them to

    talk about their academic situation, Cooper said.If a student fails to meet the SAP requirements, astudent will enter Financial Aid Warning status forthe following academic quarter but will remain eligi-ble for federal student aid funds.

    However, these students must earn at least 12 unitsof credit while in Financial Aid Warningstatus.Thisstatus is only available once to students.A student willenter Financial Aid Ineligiblestatus if they fail to themeet the SAP requirements for any subsequent aca-

    Pulitzer Prize-winningpoet captivates audience

    By CAROLINE CHENSENIOR STAFF WRITER

    There was little applause at the end ofeach poem Mary Oliver read Mondaynight. Instead, the last line of each poemwas met with a collective murmur of ap-proval from the captivated audience. De-

    spite the rain, the Pulitzer Prize-winningpoet, invited by the Creative Writing de-partment through the Jean and Bill LaneLecture Series, drew an audience largerthan Cemex Auditoriums capacity of 600.

    Oliver was introduced as a Virgilianguide to the natural world by EavanBoland, head of the Creative Writing De-partment.Because of her poems, Bolandsaid, the world continues to offer itself toour imagination.

    Jean Lane, sponsor of the lecture series,

    was present at the reading. She discussedher decision to invite Oliver and said,Shesees nature so much like I do, in the samespirit. I love her words.

    Oliver,76,has published close to 30 vol-umes of poetry. Last night, she read arange of poems that spanned across vari-ous volumes, as well as some new, unpub-lished poetry.Threaded through the read-ing were three poems dedicated to herdog,Percy,named after the Romantic poetPercy Shelley.

    The Percy poems were really sweet,

    said David Jia,13,after the reading.I real-ly liked that she named her dog after PercyShelley it made him seem so much morelike a human.

    Throughout the reading, Oliver jokedwith her rapt audience. Youre so quiet,you people! she exclaimed after a poemended to another quiet wave of satisfiedsighs and appreciative murmurs. I shouldhave some fighting poems! I dont have any.

    Hoover economist

    Thomas Sargent wins

    Nobel Prize

    By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

    Hoover Senior Fellow ThomasSargent was named the recipient ofthe Nobel Memorial Prize in Eco-nomic Sciences by the Nobel com-mittee early Monday morning. Sar-gent, known for his work in the fieldof macroeconomics and the rationalexpectations revolution, shared theprize with fellow American Christo-pher Sims of Princeton University.

    The two economists,both 68, con-ducted their influential research in-dependently but will split the $1.48

    million cash award.Sargent received the award forhis research on the cause-and-effectrelationship between the economyand policy instruments. His researchfocused on the rational expectationshypothesis,which assumes individu-als base their expectations of eco-nomic variables on continuously up-dated and reinterpreted informa-tion. The hypothesis significantly al-tered the field of macroeconomics inthe 1970s, causing researchers andpolicy makers since to reconsiderpolicy instruments and statistics suchas interest rates,inflation and unem-ployment.

    Sargent received his bachelorsdegree from the University of Cali-fornia at Berkeley in 1964 and hisPh.D. from Harvard University in

    1968.Sargent, an expert in monetary

    economics, time series economicsand macroeconomics, is a professoremeritus in Stanfords economicsdepartment and an economics pro-fessor at New York University.

    Sargent became a senior fellow atthe Hoover Institution in 1987.From1975 to 1987, he was a professor atthe University of Minnesota. In theearly 1990s, Sargent taught at theUniversity of Chicago.

    Former president of the Econo-metric Society, the American Eco-nomic Association and the Societyfor Economic Dynamics, Sargentwon the Nemmers Prize in Econom-ics in 1997.

    He also served in the U.S.Armyas a first lieutenant and captain andhas co-authored five books, includ-ingRobustness, published in 2007.

    demic quarter.If a student enters Financial

    Aid Ineligible status, all federalaid is rescinded for that quarter un-less the student appeals the deci-sion to Stanford.Williams said thatif a student creates a plan with hisor her academic adviser for contin-ued academic improvement, thestudent could once again qualify forfinancial aid for that quarter untilimprovement is established.

    Im guessing that were talkingabout less that one percent of thestudent population, Williams said,regarding the number of under-graduates this policy could affect.Were talking low double-digitnumbers, 10 to 15. Extremely lownumbers.

    The July 1 Program IntegrityRegulations include other provi-sions that do not apply to Stanfordbecause the Universitys studentsare either degree-seeking or ineligi-ble for federal aid. For example,oneprovision states that programs that

    award certificates rather than de-grees must track how many of theirstudents go on to careers in the per-tinent field and if they are successful.

    The concern is that the motor-

    cycle mechanic programs out therethat are for-profit are allowing stu-dents to continue to enroll eventhough theyre not being successfulover and over again just so [the pro-grams] can get their money, Coop-er said.

    The new regulations also re-quire that schools have a net-pricecalculator on their financial aid webpage by Oct. 29. Stanfords Finan-cial Aid Office already maintainssuch a calculator to estimate what aStanford education might cost oncegrants and scholarships are award-ed, but the office has to rename thecalculator as a net price calculator.

    A lot of whats going on thesedays at the federal level has to dowith the nonprofit versus the pri-vate, for-profit sector, Coopersaid. Theres a feeling of wantingto regulate that for-profit sectorand unfortunately, when they dothat, we all get swept up.

    What can you do? However, sheelicited enthusiastic applause whenshe read her iconic poems WildGeese and The Summer Day, bothwhich have been widely published.

    Oliver also kept up a steadystream of self-conscious banter be-tween poems. Riffling through herown book to find the next poem,shesaid, to a wave of laughter,Im veryorganized, except that my organiza-tion isnt very good. Thats whytheres a table of contents. She alsodrew chuckles when she comment-ed,Im old and Im supposed to belaboring. Sometimes I want to sitdown and have an ice-cream sundaeand forget it.

    On a more serious note, she high-lighted her concern about the environ-ment,a theme evident in her poetry.

    I do worry a great, great, greatdeal about the environmental dev-astation of the world,she said.Weare many, probably more than weshould be as a species and we haveto be careful about our usage ofthings. I worry about the little kidsthat I know now will they evenknow what the world was like?

    At the end of the reading, stu-dents and community membersmilled around in the rain,hoping tocatch Oliver for a signing.

    You can just see she speaks tothe heart of the whole community,

    Boland said, pointing to the mixedcrowd of students and white-hairedlocals.The community is united bythis event.

    She was wonderful, said LucasLoredo 12.I dont really read poet-ry,but I found her poems really ac-cessible. They were profound in away that wasnt highfalutin theywere not claiming to be anythinggrand, but they were.

    outlines changes to

    employee care

    By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

    Enrollment for employee health-care plans are scheduled to be openfrom Oct. 24 to Nov. 10, following aseries of town hall meetings con-cerning the Universitys decision toreplace Health Net and PacifiCarewith the new Blue Shield Exclusive

    Provider Organization (EPO).Employee plans with HealthNet and PacifiCare will be replacedby the Blue Shield EPO on Jan. 1,according to the Stanford BenefitsOffice.

    The Benefits Office held townhall meetings throughout Septem-ber to discuss the upcoming changes.The meetings were held at the ClarkCenter, Tresidder Memorial Union,Hopkins Marine Station and SLACNational Accelerator Laboratory,among other locations.

    Employees with Health Net andPacifiCare were encouraged tocheck that their doctors and pre-scriptions fall under the Blue ShieldPreferred Provider Organization(PPO) Network and the companysDrug Formulary.

    Employees who enroll in the newplan will not be required to select aprimary care physician, as they willbe able to see specialists and net-work doctors without referrals.Thepatient,however,will be responsiblefor obtaining preauthorization fornon-elective and non-emergencyprocedures.

    Stanford will continue to offerthe Blue Shield PPO and BlueShield High-Deductible PPO healthcare plans,as well as a Kaiser Perma-

    nente Health Maintenance Organi-zation (HMO).

    The Benefits Office recentlymailed the third of four newslettersabout the upcoming changes.

    Other changes include a BlueShield expanded care managementprogram and optional Health Equi-ty health savings accounts (HSA),with a contribution from Stanford,for employees enrolled in the BlueShield High-Deductible PPO.

    Employees who complete theconfidential Stanford Health andLifestyle Assessment (SHALA) andWellness profile by Nov.30 will be el-igible under the BeWell EmployeeIncentive Program for discounts ontheir 2012 health care plan premi-ums.

    SLAC study sheds

    light on black holes

    By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

    Most of the gamma rays pro-duced by black holes are created

    much farther from the bodies thanexpected, according to a study byStanford and SLAC National Accel-erator Laboratory scientists. Datafrom more than 20 telescopesshowed that the jets of particles thatstream out of bright galaxies func-tion differently than researcherspreviously thought.

    The recent work by scientists atthe Kavli Institute for Particle As-trophysics and Cosmology, jointlylocated at SLAC and Stanford Uni-versity,may help theorists better ex-plain some of the keys to the uni-verse,such as how its biggest acceler-ators operate.

    Above the Milky Way, galaxiescalled blazars prevail in the gamma-ray filled sky.At the center of a blaz-er is a black hole.When matter falls

    into such a black hole, some energyis spit back out into the universe inthe form of jets of particles.

    Earlier theories have suggestedthat tendrils of magnetic field holdthese jets together,while the light isproduced when the particles revolvearound these tendrils. However, thedetails of that process have beenpoorly understood.

    During more than a year of ob-servation, researchers witnessed a20-day-long flare in gamma rays

    from a blazar jet located in the con-stellation Virgo, in concurrence witha change in the directionality of the

    jets optical light.Previous theories suggested that

    gamma rays are created where thematter entering the black hole losesits energy,near the point of entry.

    This new data suggests that bothtypes of light are created in the samegeographical region of the jet. Ifgamma rays are created farther from

    the black hole than previouslythought, magnetic field lines musthelp energy travel outward from theblack hole.

    New technique

    explores role of RNA

    By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

    Researchers at the School ofMedicine made a new technique toprecisely identify DNA sequencesand locations bound by regulatory

    ribonucleic acids (RNAs),accordingto a School of Medicine statement.With this new information, re-searchers in these fields will now beable to understand how RNA regu-lates the expression of genes.

    Earlier techniques only allowedresearchers to guess the activity ofthe RNA based on clues from thesurrounding biological system, ac-cording to dermatology professorand researcher Howard Chang.This

    new technique, however, allows sci-entists to identify exactly where onthe chromatin the RNAs are bind-ing. The results, Chang said in thestudy, indicate that the regulatoryRNA is focal, numerous and site-specific.

    Messenger RNA, which tran-scribes genetic instructions encodedin DNA and facilitates protein-building using that information,wasidentified 50 years ago. In the yearssince, the one-directional flow of in-formation from DNA to RNA toprotein became central to biologycurricula. Regulatory RNA,howev-er,contradicts that simplified picturebecause it binds to DNA and affectswhich genes are selected to become

    proteins.Studying the role of regulatory

    RNA may lead to a better under-standing of several cellular func-tions, influencing our understandingof cell development and regenera-tion and cancer.

    Chang and his lab identifiedsome of the first known regulatoryRNAs,also referred to as long inter-genic non-coding RNAs, or lincR-NAs.

    Chang was senior author of thework published in September,whilegraduate student Ci Chu was firstauthor.

    Chu and Chang innovated atiling approach using dozens of in-dividually labeled nucleotide se-quences to isolate the small portionof regulatory RNAs, or lincRNAs,that remains bound to chromatin.

    The research was funded by theCalifornia Institute for Regenera-tive Medicine, the National Insti-tutes of Health,the Howard HughesMedical Institute and the Agency forScience, Technology and Researchof Singapore.

    FEATURESFEATURES

    By ISSRA OMERCONTRIBUTING WRITER

    Whoa.

    Oh my God! Look at that!Dude.This dining hall is legit.One after the other, students

    climbed hurriedly up the stairs.Looking all around, with eyes wideopen, the hungry hordes made theirway to the second floor of the Arril-laga Family Dining Commons.

    The entire floor was buzzing withexcitement, as people eagerly tooktheir plates to the different food sta-tions. As sunshine permeatedthrough the large glass windows, stu-dents took their seats and chattedwith friends inside or ventured to theoutdoor seating on the terrace over-looking palm trees and the settingsun.

    One thing is clear:Arrillaga Fam-ily Dining Commons is anything butthe average college dining hall.

    A collaborative effort betweenStanford Dining, Stanford Athletics,

    the School of Medicine and the Culi-nary Institute of America, ArrillagaDining Commons seeks to meet thevarious needs of students and changethe way people view their meals.

    Its truly a multi-purpose envi-ronment, with a place for cooking,exercising and learning,said ShirleyEverett, senior associate viceprovost of residential and dining en-terprises. We really listened to thestudents, and we want this to be aplace that students are proud of.

    Rebecca Amato 14 and a groupof her friends were among the first toenter the Arrillaga Family DiningCommons.

    We had been anticipating thegrand opening,so we waited outsidebeforehand because we wanted tobeat the crowd,Amato said.

    It was really cool walking intothe first level, she added. Therewere welcoming couches and pillows,which you dont normally see in adining hall.It felt more like a resort.

    This enthusiasm is exactly whatEverett had hoped for.

    Its great to see the looks of stu-dents who are in awe of the dininghall, she said. All they can say is,Wow, and when Stanford studentsare happy,Im happy.

    The dining commons incorpo-rates the educational aspect of foodand health with its Performance Din-ing Initiative, part of Stanford Din-

    ings Eat Well program, and joins to-gether technology, sustainability andnutritional themes. Unlike mostother dining halls, Arrillaga DiningCommons seeks to educate studentsabout the nutritional value of thefood they eat.

    The dining hall focuses on six dif-ferent health and nutritional cate-gories, each of which students willhave the opportunity to learn aboutthrough different wellness apps onthe iPads scattered across the din-ing hall.

    It has been calculated that theaverage person consumes about 200million meals in their lifespan, saidStanford Dining Executive DirectorEric Montell.Our goal is to get stu-dents learning about how thehealthy choices they make can influ-

    ence their lifestyles.Anna Nti Asare 14 said she be-

    lieves healthier options are a defi-nite advantage of the new diningcommons.

    The pre-made salads are reallygood,Nti Asare said,who is a vege-tarian.

    She also appreciates how the din-ing commons accommodates theneeds of students.

    Class schedules dont really fitnicely with the dining hall hours, soyou end up having to buy food,NtiAsare said.But with Arrillaga, youcan still eat in the dining hall.

    And thats how it was planned.This is a result of a great partner-

    ship with students, Montell said.The extended hours make it so thatstudents dont have to compromiseskipping meals because of theirclasses or other commitments.

    Daniel Bui 12 said that the Arril-laga Dining Commons is unlike anydining hall he has been to before.

    I regret that the Arrillaga dininghall wasnt an option when I was asophomore, Bui said.

    Other nontraditional featurescan be found in the kitchen and thebasement.

    We have a kitchen that is sepa-rated with a wall of glass so studentscan see the preparation of theirfood,Montell said.If you go down-stairs, there is a multipurpose room,and there will be cooking and exer-cise classes held there.

    In addition, the dining commonswill be the new host of The Dish, the

    late-night dining option that used to beat Stern.It is expected to open Oct.13.With all of its new features and

    educational initiatives as food forthought,the Arrillaga Family DiningCommons has the potential tochange the way people view diningat Stanford.

    OPINIONS

    Once upon a time in highschool, I dreamt about a boy.Dont let your imagination

    run wild yet it was a dream abouta conversation. After waking up,though,I felt differently toward him.I cant remember if it was anger orawkwardness, but I avoided him thatday at school.Whether or not he no-ticed my weird spell was pointless todiscuss because,in reality,it had noth-ing to do with him and everything todo with my head. And beyond that,he was still one of my closest friends.

    Unfortunately, the sudden andunilateral way that relationships shiftgears is generally a more pessimisticstory. Sometimes were the culprits:

    qualities we once found attractivecan turn repulsive,and first-date highnotes can be hijacked by hokiness.Sowe attempt to slyly exit scene.Its likethe book that loses its magic: thewords never changed, but you findyourself wondering what you foundso interesting in the first place.Othertimes were the victims:all texts,callsand communications have stopped,and we wonder how we missed thevote that kicked us off the island.Yetthese lightning-speed reversals dontcome with a warning,just frustrationand lingering questions:how much ofour relationships are in our heads?How often do we project our ownfalse ideas onto others,and how oftendo we unknowingly receive them?

    I was chatting recently with afriend about this. Hes one of the

    most self-admittedly nice guys Iknow and truly embraces that. Hetries to meet everyone halfway, ongood terms,convinced that its possi-ble to be friends with everyone. (In-deed, our semi-opposite philoso-phies about people lead to very longand colorful discussions.) He sus-pects that his pro-amiableness is whynew relationships tend to form spon-

    taneously before him like fire andwhy,at least in his head,they end justas quickly. Essentially, his commit-ment to see good in the other persondoesnt always outshine the truth ofpersonality differences and long-term issues. Its the classic case ofhow we tend to see what we want tosee for as long as we possibly can.In relationships,its mostly a problemof timing: a promise has usually al-ready been made before we realize itwas with someone we partially con-

    jured up for ourselves. That notori-ous line,Its not you; its me, mighthave some real bearing here . . .

    If only that were more comfort-ing,though. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I

    have many more friends on the otherside, suffering from their crushesseemingly inexplicable changes ofheart.One of my best girlfriends,whois smart and isnt wasting time on thesubject, is simply annoyed by herslight curiosity. After all, with anynew encounter, there is the chancethat we inadvertently hit their rela-tionship deal-breaker and unwitting-ly call the whole thing off;then comesthe inevitable quest to deduce whathorrific thing it was that we said ordid. But the end of a thing, fling orpromise ring can also come from ar-bitrary personal realizations in theother persons mind. Ironically, thiscould be the most comforting thing inthe world: we cant take credit foreverything that happens to us(though we try very hard to, often

    subconsciously).The de facto definition of rela-tionshipis everything that exists andoccurs between two people. In thiscomplicated world,though,everyonebrings his or her baggage on board.Its never solely about how two peo-ple behave or feel when theyre witheach other.Its also about everythingthose two people are, respectively,

    when they are alone. Dynamicschange and patterns seem inconsis-tent because, ultimately, we dont allknow each other enough to knowwhat their consistent really is.Andassuming so can lead to too manyhurt feelings down the road.

    But this story doesnt end likethat.Despite the infuriating nature ofambiguity, we must admit it makesthe good relationship that muchgreater. Despite the black holes ofour highly unknowable heads,we domeet people who see something truein us and whats morestillwantto be with us. Two independent peo-ple, with their mysteries in tow, cancollide at the right place at the right

    t ime . . . and voi la ! Fr iends,boyfriends, girlfriends this is howit happens. And it feels like magicwhen it does.

    This column is like a hello from Ninato you. Wont you respond? All youhave to do is email [email protected] to tell her what you think. HappyTuesday!

    THE YOUNG ADULT SECTION

    Inaccurate readings

    Ive never been the new kid. Inever moved to a different cityor even changed school dis-

    tricts. Yet whenever new peoplewould pop up in class, I alwayswondered what it was like to haveto start all over again and makefriends. I generally tried to be niceto them for good karma just in case

    I was ever in their position, but Icouldnt fathom what it felt likeknowing everyone knows every-one but you. Or at least, thatwas true until I got to Howard Uni-versity.

    Before coming to Howard, oneof my biggest concerns was how Iwas going to get to know anyone. Iwas petrified, thinking I was goingto become a loner who spent 20 outof 24 hours in my room and satalone every day in the dining hall,not by choice, but because no onewanted to sit next to me. Luckily,most of my fears were unfounded.Ive been fortunate enough to findcool kids to run around and get lostin DC with, yet I still wonder howwe got to that point.

    But this past weekend,I made a

    friend.It was Saturday morning and I

    had an hour to get to the MegaBusparking lot to meet my friends sowe could head out for a fun week-end in Philly.Sadly,the Metro stopsby campus were closed for mainte-nance during the holiday weekend.They promised free shuttles tocompensate for the atrocity, but Iarrived at the nearest stop with mybags in hand only to see the shuttlepull away. A little disheartened, I

    didnt have time to wait for thenext one, so I decided to walk tothe next stop a few blocks down.

    My dorm is not located in thenicest part of DC.Its historical andhas some places worth visiting, butits still a bit sketchy (though itsnothing to fear with an angry faceand quick pace).About halfway be-

    tween the Shaw-Howard and Mt.Vernon stops, I saw these dudes onthe corner.Dudes on the corner arenothing new, but these ones lookedextra grimy. At that same moment,I saw this taxi pull up behind meand the cab driver, who was morethan old enough to be my grandfa-ther, asked me if I needed a ride.

    So I looked at my options:walkpast these crusty men who will hiton anything that looks female orpay the price of the taxi. Taxi won.

    At first, I was a little surprisedwhen he encouraged me to sit inthe front seat. My mind instantly

    jumped to the worst-case scenario,and I kept thinking this is how allthose overly dramatic Lifetimemovies start. But when I saw thestate of the backseat, my hesitation

    ebbed. Once inside, he immediate-ly told me that I looked like one ofhis people.I didnt know how to re-spond, so he clarified by having meguess what East African countrywe were from (I wrongly guessedEthiopia). I never knew I was So-mali, but you learn something newabout yourself every day. As hecontinued driving, he asked me allthe basic get-to-know-you ques-tions, and I kept one eye on themeter that he never turned on. He

    proceeded to tell me about hishope to do some business programrun by Georgetown for older re-turning students and how happy hewas to make a new friend.He even

    went as far as to make a deal withme; he would teach me Arabic if Ihelped improve his writing skillsfor the program (he taught me twowhole words I cant pronounce toseal the deal).

    By the time I had arrived at theparking lot early I actuallyfelt like I had made a friend,whether I had wanted to or not. Inretrospect, it may not have beenthe brightest idea, but deep downinside, I genuinely believe in thekindness of strangers (you can

    judge me on my naivete later).Nonetheless, I left the taxi happyabout the decision I made. Itsprobably not one Ill make again,but that little encounter taught mesomething valuable. Everyone is astranger until you make them a

    friend. Even your best buddy sincethe fourth grade was just some shykid in the corner until your teachermade you sit next to her in classand you realized you both loveSailor Moon.

    So if I can make a friend withMohammed the taxi driver, justthink of who you could meet.

    Do you want to be Camiras friend,too? Then you should email her [email protected].

    The growing Occupy WallStreet (OWS) movement hasfocused national attention on

    the financial industrys power overAmerican politics and policy. But itdoesnt end there Wall Street alsohas extensive influence over the U.S.higher education system, especiallyat universities like Stanford.

    Three years after the financial in-

    dustry nearly caused a second GreatDepression, our nations top univer-sities remain the primary trainingand recruiting grounds for thesesame reckless institutions.This is an-tithetical to the civic mission and re-sponsibility of higher education, andit is time for the academic communi-ty to seriously address this problem.

    The financial industrys influenceover higher education is deep andmultifaceted, including studentchoice over majors and careertracks, career development re-sources,faculty and course offerings,and student culture and political ac-tivism. In 2010, even after the eco-nomic crisis,the financial services in-dustry drew a full 20 percent of Har-vard graduates and over 15 percent

    of Stanford and MIT graduates.Thisrepresented the highest portion ofany industry except consulting, andabout three times more than previ-ous generations.

    As the financial industrys profitshave increasingly come from com-plex financial products, like the col-lateralized debt obligations (CDOs)that ignited the 2008 financial melt-down,its demand has steadily grownfor graduates with technical degrees.In 2006,the securities and commodi-ty exchange sector employed a larg-er portion of scientists and engineersthan semiconductor manufacturing,pharmaceuticals and telecommuni-cations.

    The result has been a major real-location of top talent into financialsector jobs, many of which are so-

    cially useless,as the chairman of theUnited Kingdoms Financial Ser-vices Authority put it. This over-allo-cation reduces the supply of produc-tive entrepreneurs and researchersand damages entrepreneurial capi-talism, according to a recent Kauff-man Foundation report. Many ofthese finance jobs contribute tovolatile and counter-productive fi-nancial speculation. Indeed, WallStreets activities are largely domi-nated by speculative security tradingand arbitrage instead of investmentin new businesses. In 2010, 63 per-cent of Goldman Sachs revenuecame from trading, compared toonly 13 percent from corporate fi-nance.

    Why are graduates flocking toWall Street? Beyond the simple al-

    lure of high salaries, investmentbanks and hedge funds have de-signed an aggressive, sophisticatedand well-funded recruitment system,which often takes advantage of stu-dents job insecurity. Moreover,eliteuniversity culture somehow still up-holds finance as a prestigious andsavvycareer track.

    But university administrationsare also responsible. At best, theyhave passively allowed the largestbanks to dominate student recruit-ment;at worst,they have enthusiasti-cally promoted these companies andencouraged students to enter fi-nance. To this day, career develop-ment offices accept donations from

    the wealthiest banks in exchange forspecial recruitment access. For ex-ample, until recently, Stanfords Ca-reer Development Center featuredGoldman Sachs as a Gold Partner,despite the company being underfederal investigation for criminaltrading practices.

    The higher education communityneeds to begin a serious discussionabout how to ensure checks and bal-ances against finance, and preparemore students for socially produc-tive careers in public service, entre-preneurship and scientific research.Some recent trends have been posi-tive, like loan forgiveness for lawschool graduates entering publicservice.Universities should considersimilar incentives for undergradu-ates, designing proactive, long-termstrategies to encourage alternative

    career tracks.Let us be clear:pursuing a job onWall Street isnt evil, and it goeswithout saying that we need a strongand efficient financial sector.But ourgeneration cannot afford to contin-ue shipping our best and brightestoff to Wall Street.The United Statesand the world face enormous chal-lenges in our lifetimes from cli-mate change to global povertyand we need our top talent focusedon solving these problems. Ameri-cas university system is one of ourmost prized national assets,benefit-ing from taxpayer support and pro-viding invaluable public goods in theway of knowledge and human capi-tal.It should stop serving as the voca-tional training center for recklessbanks and hedge funds.

    This process will be difficult formany of us with friends and col-leagues in finance. But those of usprivileged enough to attend top uni-versities should have the courageand responsibility to recognize thehard truth; an academic communitythat actively supports the same fi-nancial institutions whose rampantgreed caused untold national hard-ship is a community on the brink ofmoral bankruptcy.

    To the Editor:It is extremely annoying to be as-

    sociated with a world-renownedcenter of learning and to be regular-ly bombarded with University bul-letins that reveal extreme igno-rance.The latest example is an Oct.1 email from the Stanford Policeconcerning a robbery on PalmDrive near El Camino Real inwhich the suspect is described as aHispanic male. . .

    It is only correct to use the termHispanic to describe people whoshare a linguistic and cultural her-itage.It is not a term of race or eth-nicity. Hence using the term His-panic to describe someones ap-pearance is meaningless since it caninclude anyone along the entirecolor spectrum of the human race.

    It appears that many people in

    the United States, including theStanford Police,still have a hang uprecognizing that people can be ofmixed ethnicities. The perfect ex-ample of this is the current inhabi-tant of the White House who isoften described by the U.S. mediaas African American when he isas much Caucasian as anythingelse.Accordingly, the term Hispan-ic or Latino has crept into the pop-ular lexicon as a descriptive term todescribe someone of mixed Euro-pean and indigenous American an-cestry, an individual who in LatinAmerica would be described asmestizo or in Canada as metis.Thisdoes not make the use of the termHispanic for that purpose proper.More importantly, an educationalinstitution such as Stanford Uni-versity should not tolerate its in-correct usage.

    The Stanford field hockey team had won eight consec-utive matches,one short of the school record,before head-ing out last weekend on a two-game East Coast road trip.

    With the spotlight on, the Cardinal lived up to its No.7national ranking with an easy 4-1 victory over previouslyred-hot Harvard. But onSunday, Stanford (10-2,3-0 NorPac) saw its winstreak snapped in a 6-3showdown with No. 12New Hampshire.

    The loss in the Granite State was just the Cards secondall season,and its first since losing a tough match at No. 4Connecticut in the second match of the year.

    The Wildcats jumped on the board first, as All-Ameri-can Whitney Frates scored two of her game-high threegoals in the first 20 minutes.Both were unassisted,but NewHampshire was also pressing as a team, earning fourpenalty corners and outshooting Stanford in the first half.

    But the Cardinal responded, fighting back with a goalin the 29th minute from sophomore attacker CourtneyHaldeman off a nice centering pass from senior attackerStephanie Byrne. At that point, it appeared as though

    Nnemkadi, Chiney among 30 namedto preseason Wooden list

    The Ogwumike sisters were twoof the 30 players named to the 2011-12 Wooden Award Preseason Listby the Los Angeles Athletic Clubon Monday. The Wooden Award,which has been given each of thepast 35 years,is presented annuallyto the best player in mens basket-ball and to the best player inwomens basketball.

    Nnemkadi,a senior forward, ledthe Pac-10 with 17.5 points pergame and a 58.6 percent shootingpercentage. She was the Pac-10Player of the Year in 2009-10 andwas an All-American in each of thepast two seasons.

    Her younger sister Chiney, asophomore forward, burst onto thescene last year with 11.7 points pergame and a team-leading eight re-bounds per game. She was last

    years Pac-10 Freshman of the Yearand became an imposing defensiveforce for the Cardinal.

    The two Ogwumikes are theonly Pac-12 players to make the list,which is dominated by players fromtop schools. Of the 30 players on thelist, 16 come from Connecticut,Notre Dame, Baylor, Maryland,Miami,Tennessee and Stanford.

    With team leaders JeanettePohlen and Kayla Pedersen gone tothe WNBA, Stanford will rely evenmore heavily on the frontcourt pairfrom Cypress,Tex.The Ogwumikeswill kick off their second and finalseason together on the Farm with aroad game at Texas on Nov.11.

    After losing three in a row away fromMaples Pavilion, the No. 7 Stanfordwomens volleyball team picked up itsfirst two road conference wins of the sea-son against Oregon State (11-7, 3-5 Pac-12) and No. 16 Oregon (12-4, 5-3) thispast weekend. The Cardinal (12-3, 6-3)improved to fifth in a Pac-12 race that

    boasts five top-10 teams nationally andno undefeated squads.The road trip opened shakily, with

    Stanford dropping its first set of theweekend to a young and unranked Ore-gon State team. Up 22-18, the Cardinalfailed to close out the game, with errorsfrom sophomore outside hitter RachelWilliams and redshirt junior middleblocker Jessica Walker allowing theBeavers to make a seven-point run forthe 25-22 set victory.

    With momentum on the home teamsside,Oregon State stayed close with theCard throughout the second game.

    Leading 22-20, Stanford again let theBeavers back into the game, with a killfrom freshman outside hitter/middleblocker Arica Nassar fueling OregonState to a 23-23 tie.The Cardinal called atimeout and came back on the floor towin back-to-back points a kill by red-shirt freshman outside hitter Lydia Baifollowed by a block by Walker and jun-ior setter Karissa Cook and the set,25-23.

    The next two games proved less dra-matic, with Stanford winning sets threeand four, 25-17 and 25-16, respectively.After a Cook-kill tied the third set 10-10,a string of six consecutive plays fromWilliams four kills, a shared blockwith Walker and a solo block helpedthe Card pull away from the Beavers.Stanford never trailed in the fourth set.

    Williams tallied 22 kills and 18 digs,while Cook put up 47 assists and 14 digs.This was the ninth double-double of theseason for each, the most in the Pac-12.It was a big night for Stanfords defen-sive specialists, with sophomore MaryEllen Luck registering a career-highfour aces and matching her previousbest 11 digs, while junior DS Hannah

    Red Zoneneeds aid

    in cheers

    It might be the American vs.English cultural barrier, but Icant help feeling the RedZone crowd is lacking some-thing. I cant claim that my

    home soccer team has the most vocaland passionate fans,but Im used to an

    edgier and more involved atmos-phere in stadiums. Thankfully, vio-lence at soccer grounds in the U.K. ismostly a thing of the past,but the fanscan still be pretty intimidating andemotions run high.

    To me, the standard cheer on theFarm of Go, Stanford just doesntsound right. Go where? The Britishequivalent would be Come on,Stan-ford. But while on first inspectionthat seems almost the same, it reallyisnt. It usually comes with a heavydose of pain and even anger, and isnever chanted en masse.It is a person-al cry of frustration in a desperate at-tempt to inject some kind of stimula-tion into your team.Beat Cal is justas bad; what else would the team betrying to do against Berkeley? Fansback home would instead direct theirenergy at insulting the opposition.

    Really good insults are definitelysomething I miss.There is nothing likea few tens of thousands of fans simul-taneously letting an opposing playerknow that they think he is,in fact, shit.Its even funnier when that swear-word is so loud and so clear that TVcrews can do nothing about broad-casting it live across the airwaves.

    But this is not about simply beingoffensive; opposing teams should feelintimidated just by walking into thestadium and hearing the crowd noise,and I just dont think that happenshere.Maybe its just a Stanford thing;friends who did their undergraduatedegrees elsewhere seem to have amuch more colorful cheering vocabu-lary.The Cardinal fans,in comparison,

    seem pretty tame, and I have to criti-cize myself for this too. Our array ofchants seems pretty limited and verybland,and there is a lot of silence com-ing from The Red Zone.Perhaps thisis because,even though we might havethe longest winning streak in the na-tion, we have not been at the top longenough to really be considered a foot-ball school I doubt many of youcame here because of the football pro-gram and developing a suitablypassionate following is not anovernight thing.

    It might seem like the least of ourathletic worries USC,Oregon andAndrew Lucks eventual departurewill probably be bigger stories butcollege football is a game where youneed every edge you can get.A singleloss can wreck a season, and with

    teams only playing each other once ayear, home-field advantage has thepotential to make a big impact.Partlythis is the simple logistics of a teambeing able to walk to the game ratherthan travel hundreds of miles,but themental aspect shouldnt be underesti-mated. Fans of Turkish soccer teamGalatasaray greet their oppositionwith the banner Welcome to Hell.Icouldnt put it any better.

    I suspect this is why the Depart-ment of Athletics has opened up allhome games to the student body forfree,and why there are football incen-

    Seventy-seven minutes and 45seconds into Sunday nights match,itlooked like the mens soccer teammight be doomed to yet anotherfrustrating 1-0 defeat at the hands ofarchrival California. The Cardinalstruggled to capitalize on severalsolid scoring chances,as has been thestory for much of a thus-far tryingseason.Stanford seemed to be on itsway to a third straight defeat to openPac-12 play.

    But in just two seconds,the timeit took junior Adam Jahn to slam a25-yard free kick off the underside of

    the crossbar and into the back of the

    net, that all changed.The Cardinalsdefense held firm,and while the of-fense was shut out the rest of the way,head coach Bret Simons team man-aged to halt its losing streak and stayalive in the brutal Pac-12 Confer-ence.

    Stanford (3-6-2, 0-2-1 Pac-12)had lost six straight matches againstthe Golden Bears dating back to2007, and John Fitzpatricks headerpast redshirt sophomore goalieJason Dodson quieted a large crowdof 2,919 at Laird Q.Cagan Stadium.

    Sophomore midfielder J.J.Kovalsaid that conceding yet another earlygoal made things very difficult but

    did not stop the players from feeling

    that they were in control.We came out hard and really

    rode the energy of crowd, Kovalsaid.They scored the first goal,andit is really tough to go down early.But we kept working hard and push-ing, and in the second half I reallythought we had the better chances.

    Stanford did not, however, havethe most chances in the half, as Caloutshot the Card 10-5 after thebreak. Dodson was kept busy, mak-ing three second-half saves to keepthe game close.

    tives to show up for some othersports. But creating a better atmos-phere is more than just a numbersgame.Red Zone points were offeredat Cagan Stadium on Sunday for stu-dents coming to watch the Stanford

    vs.Cal mens soccer game; the resultwas a pretty big turnout, and thestands started off packed. However,filling the seats with the uninitiateddidnt seem to work very well. Fewpeople seemed really caught up in thegame, and a recording of the Bandplaying All Right Now and a briefappearance from the Axe Commit-tee failed to light the fires.When Calscored in the first half, quite a fewpeople seemed to head for the exits,and by extra time the game wastied 1-1 at the end of regulation andso 20 extra minutes were played inthe hope of a result there were alot of empty seats.I dont wish to castdoubt on my fellow students mo-tives, but it also looked suspiciouslylike quite a few were simply scanningtheir ID cards before heading home.

    At the end of the day,any amountof incentives or pushing from abovewont work.We need to do this our-selves. Looking at all the variousgroups that work to get us pumpedup at games,I think our best bet lieswith the Axe Committee.This is nocriticism of the Band, the Tree or theDollies, because they do a great joband are idiosyncratically Stanford,but they already do about as much asthey can.The Axe Committee insteadconfuses me.Sure,they give out freet-shirts and honk the big train whistle,but it seems to me more an excuse

    just to get on the field.So I want to offer a challenge to

    the Axe Committee.Come sit amongus, spread yourselves out across TheRed Zone and lead not from the

    front but by example. Invent somenew, more intimidating cheers andteach them to everyone around youso the whole crowd can sing andchant as one.And most of all,be loud.

    Stanford might have found itsrhythm, but New Hampshire at-tacker Emma Erler broke free infront of the cage and put away theWildcats third goal for a 3-1 lead

    just before halftime.

    After the break, New Hamp-shire poured it on, as HayleyRausch knocked in a pair of goals the second off her own rebound to push the lead to four. Fratesfound a little space and put thegame all but out of reach 10 minutesbefore time.

    Yet Stanford refused to quit,andredshirt sophomore attacker EmilyHenriksson cut into the lead with agoal two minutes before Byrne con-verted a redirect to give the Cardi-nal a glimmer of hope with just afew minutes remaining. But NewHampshires defense held firm,putting a slight damper on theweekend.

    Fridays match was a much dif-ferent story, however, as Harvardsdefense struggled to contain the

    Cardinals attack.Stanford outshotthe Crimson 23-5 for the match andscored three unanswered goals Harvard had allowed three goals inits previous four matches to saltthe game away early on.

    Junior defender Becky Druadded to her recent string of suc-cess, as last years NorPac Defen-sive Player of the Year continued anoffensive surge this season with her10th and 11th goals, both off penal-ty corners.

    Harvard didnt really threatenuntil late in the second half, when itscored a nice goal past redshirt sen-ior goalie Ale Moss to trim Stan-fords lead to two.But Drus secondgoal of the match three minutes be-fore the end of the match put an ex-

    clamation point on the victory.Stanford is now 6-2 away fromhome after splitting the weekendmatches,and the Cardinal will haveto travel for three of its five remain-ing regular season games, includinga road trip to Michigan and Michi-gan State in two weeks.

    Stanford will have the advan-tage of playing at home, though, forthe NorPac Championship in thefirst week of November.The Cardi-nal has won all five of its matches atthe Varsity Turf. With only 16 spotsup for grabs, all of the remainingmatches will be critical to securing aberth in the NCAA Tournament,slated to begin Saturday, Nov. 12,when the top eight teams will alsohave home-turf advantage.

    Next up for the Card is a three-

    game stretch to complete NorPacplay, beginning Friday when Stan-ford hosts Pacific at 7 p.m.

    to zero in,particularly after Simonpushed an extra attacker forwardin the formation to pressure Calsback line.After not putting a singleshot on frame in the first half, theCardinal got its best scoring oppor-tunity of the game when Jahn

    broke free and finally forced Calgoalie Bobby Gogatz into a save.And then, finally, came the

    breakthrough.Junior Dersu Abolfathi earned

    a free kick in a very dangerousarea,25 yards away from goal,juston the edge of the penalty circleand straight in front of the net. Jahnstood over the kick, paused, andthen unleashed a perfectly drivenball to the top-right corner.It bare-ly nicked off the crossbar, leavingGogatz diving helplessly in itswake.

    The goal was a great relief,Jahn said.I had gotten really closeto scoring on a free kick a few timesin previous games. Funnilyenough,each set piece was more orless from the same place on the

    field, so to sort of progress and getcloser and closer to finally scoringwas awesome.

    It was Jahns team-leading third

    goal of the season and alsosnapped the teams 300-minutescoreless streak.The crowd roaredback to life, and Stanford pressedforward with a renewed energy.Redshirt senior Garrett Guntherhad two good chances in the final

    minutes two of his five shots forthe game but the game went toovertime tied at one.

    You know, obviously wevebeen struggling to put the ball inthe back of the net, Koval said.Which sounds discouraging, butat the same time were creating alot of chances. Adams goal wasbeautiful, and the whole gameshowed a lot about our teamscharacter; fight hard and stick byeach others side.

    Cal went back on the offensivein the first extra period, but theCardinals defense was up to thechallenge, snuffing out any realscoring chances with relative ease.And in the second extra period,Gunther led a late charge that sawa flurry of Stanford shots test the

    Bears defense.Although none found the back

    of the net,it was a positive sign forthe team as it gets close to the

    halfway point of conference play.I think it was a big goal for the

    team because we all felt we de-served a result last night,Jahn saidMonday.We havent gotten a re-sult against Cal since Ive beenhere,so this is a good step in that di-

    rection and getting that first winagainst them.Seven games remain in the reg-

    ular season,including a two-gamehomestand against Washingtonand Oregon State on the schedulethis weekend.Koval was optimisticthat the team can use the 1-1 drawagainst last years Pac-12 champi-ons Cal to gather momentum for astretch run.

    The good thing about our Pac-12 Conference is that you get toplay everyone twice, he said.Even though we didnt get the re-sults we wanted against San DiegoState and UCLA,we get a secondchance coming up. And whoknows what can happen.We stillhave a good amount of games inthe season anything is possible
