Former University President RichardLyman died of congestive heart failure Sun-day in Palo Alto. He served as the Universi-tys seventh president from September 1970until August 1980.

Lyman was 88.At the end of Lymans 10-year presiden-

cy, The Dailys Editorial Board took stock ofhis legacy in an editorial titled Sorry to seeLyman go.

The University is now an undisputedmember of the select club of academicallysuperb institutions . . . What makes thisachievement even more significant is thatLyman cemented the universitys position asa world-class institution during a period of

unrest both financial and emotional, theeditorial read.

Lyman attended Swarthmore Collegebefore earning his masters and Ph.D. fromHarvard University. He also attended theLondon School of Economics on a Fulbrightscholarship and taught history at Washing-ton University in St. Louis before coming toStanford as a history professor in 1958.

Before serving as University president,Lyman also served as the associate dean ofthe School of Humanities and Sciences andprovost. In 1988, he founded and served asdirector of the center that later became theFreeman Spogli Institute for InternationalStudies.

The choice of Lyman to replace KennethPitzer as University president was one pointof consensus amid the otherwise turbulenttimes on campus in the late 60s and early70s.

The Daily wrote shortly after Lymantook office that it was rare for alumni, facul-ty members, students and trustees to agreeon anything, yet all these natural enemiesmanaged to agree on Lyman.

Lyman, however, did not receive a warmwelcome to the University. During his firstconvocation address in September 1970,demonstrators employed the give em theaxe cheer normally reserved for sportingevents against Cal.

Lymans term as president represented atime of significant transition for the Univer-sity. He reflected in his memoir, Stanford in

Pro-Romney

group rampsup campaignBy MATT BETTONVILLE

DESK EDITOR

Now that Republican presiden-tial candidate Mitt Romney is fo-cusing his campaign on the Novem-ber general election, Stanfords Stu-dents for Romney, a chapter of thenational campaign organizationStudents for Mitt, is launching itson-campus organization.

The group is presently in theprocess of electing its leadership for

the next school year, but eventuallyhopes to raise support for Rom-neys campaign by hosting debates,a phone-a-thon and events promot-ing political awareness.

The group originally formed tosupport Romneys campaign forthe Republican nomination forpresident, but was largely inactive.

We kind of knew throughoutthe primaries that he was going towin, so we were kind of waiting forthe bigger fight, said ReaganThompson 12, president of Stu-dents for Romney.

The group held a launch eventFriday afternoon to gather interestboth for participants and leadershippositions during election seasonnext fall. According to Students for

Romney Vice President ChipSchroeder 12, about 30 people,mostly graduate students and up-perclassmen, attended.

Our goal for the group is to in-vite Stanford students to learnmore about Romney and considerpositions especially economic which are not often discussed atStanford, Schroeder said in anemail to The Daily.

Schroeder said support wasstrongest from students in theGraduate School of Business, butweaker among undergraduate stu-dents, perhaps due to the economicfocus of the group and the cam-paign.

Theres actually a pretty sub-stantial Republican, conservative

constituency on campus, Thomp-son said, citing the Stanford Con-servative Society, the Stanford Re-view and the Stanford Republicansas strong organizations. Its just amatter of mobilizing.

Thompson said that it is unlikelythat Students for Romney will hostany events this quarter since theyear is nearly over, but the grouphopes to have a strong presence fallquarter of next year. She added that

ASSU groupreviews use of

union spaceBy MATT BETTONVILLE

DESK EDITOR

Following a report commissioned earlierthis year, the ASSU assembled a working groupto review use of student union spaces. Thegroup has since launched several initiatives torepurpose spaces in Old Union and surround-ing buildings and has encouraged further use ofunion spaces.

Programs such as Union Underground andthe Volunteer Student Organization (VSO)Office Space Pilot Program have resulted fromthe working group.

To evaluate Stanfords union spaces, the re-search group both looked at the history of

unions at Stanford and examined peer institu-tions with strong student unions, particularlythe University of Maryland-College Park andits Stamp Student Union.

According to former ASSU PresidentMichael Cruz 12, the group focused on spacesin the White Plaza complex, the name as-signed to the area that includes Old Union,Tresidder Union, the Nitery and other build-

It was a historic day for Stanford womenstennis at the NCAA Tennis Championships,as an all-Cardinal final in the singles draw wasfollowed by a doubles title just hours later.Sophomore Nicole Gibbs defeated juniorteammate Mallory Burdette for the individ-ual championship before the two joinedforces to take the doubles crown 6-2, 6-4.

Gibbs became only the third Stanfordplayer to win both the singles and doubles ti-

tles in the same year at the NCAA Champi-onships. Mondays win at the Dan Magill Ten-nis Complex in Athens, Ga., made Gibbs the15th Stanford woman to win the collegiatesingles championship and the first sinceAmber Liu in 2004.

Gibbs defeated Burdette, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3in a mentally grueling match in which she wasonce a set and three games behind. Gibbscame back to force a second set tiebreak,where she fell behind 5-2 and once againfound herself on the brink of elimination.

In the first set, Burdette was the more as-

sertive player, as she came to net successfullyand took control of the match. Ahead 4-1 inthe second set, she looked poised to run awaywith the trophy. Burdette had not lost morethan three games in a set in the entire tourna-ment, and she appeared set on continuingthat dominant streak.

I had kind of resigned myself to losing tosomeone who was playing by far the best ten-nis in all of college tennis, Gibbs said. Atthat point, I was just trying anything possible

Race plays role in juvenilesentencing, study findsBy THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

A new study by Stanford psychologists re-vealed that if people picture a juvenile offenderas being black, they are more likely to be in favorof harsher sentences for all juvenile offenders.

These results highlight the fragility of pro-tections for juveniles when race is in play, saidAneeta Rattan, lead author of the study, to theStanford Report.

The study polled a nationally representative

sample of 735 white Americans. The authorschose to use only white participants because thatdemographic is statistically overrepresented on

juries, in the legal field and in the judiciary.The participants were asked to read about a

14-year-old male, with 17 prior juvenile convic-tions, who brutally raped an elderly woman.Half of the participants were told the juvenilewas white; the other half were told he was black.This was the only difference.

Participants who were given a black offend-er more strongly endorsed policies that send ju-veniles convicted of violent crimes to life inprison without parole, compared to respondents

who had in mind a white offender.

The fact that imagining a particular targetcould influence your perceptions of a policy thatwould affect an entire class of people, we think,is pretty important to know, said Jennifer Eber-hardt, senior author of the study and associateprofessor of psychology.

The Supreme Court has banned the deathpenalty for juveniles and ruled in 2010 that lifewithout parole for non-homicide crimes violatesthe Constitutional ban on cruel and unusualpunishment.

The Supreme Court is currently considering

whether to impose further restric-tions on juvenile punishments.Eberhardt said the study was par-tially inspired by current cases be-fore the Supreme Court.

The statistics out there indicatethat there are racial disparities insentencing juveniles who have com-mitted severe crimes, Eberhardtsaid. That led us to wonder, to whatextent does race play a role in howpeople think about juvenile sta-tus?

Researchers develop

nanotubes to reduce

battery costs

By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

Stanford researchers havefound that carbon nanotubes couldhelp replace platinum in future bat-teries, significantly reducing pro-duction costs.

A carbon nanotube is a synthet-ic sheet made of pure carbon rolledup into tube shapes. According to areport on Nanotechnology Nows

website, these nanotubes can be upto 10,000 times thinner than ahuman hair.

This technology could replaceplatinum as a catalyst in batteries,which is a major long-term goal indeveloping affordable future bat-tery chemistries, including the lithi-um-air battery, which can have up to10 times the energy density of cur-rent batteries.

Platinum is very expensive andthus impractical for large-scalecommercialization, said HongjieDai, a chemistry professor and co-author of the study. Developing alow-cost alternative has been amajor research goal for severaldecades.

Two properties allow carbonnanotubes to be useful in batteries:electrical conductivity and catalyticactivity. Previously, nanotubes hadnot performed well in batteries be-cause the catalytic property de-pends on impurities and holes in thenanotube structure and the electri-cal property depends on the integri-ty of the nanotube structure.

However, a group of researchersled by postdoctoral fellow Yan-

guang Li, working in conjunctionwith researchers at Vanderbilt Uni-versity, created a nanotube modelwith both properties. The modelconsists of multiple nanotubeswrapped concentrically around oneanother, with the top layer shred-ded to enhance catalytic activity.

bring Romney to campus, Thomp-son said. Thats definitely a higher-level dream.

Romney will be in the area cam-paigning and fundraising severaltimes throughout the year.

In addition to supporting Rom-neys campaign, Thompson saidthat Students for Romney hopes toraise the level of general political

conversation on campus.We feel like there are a lot of

students on campus who dont real-ly think critically about their politi-cal position, Thompson said. Ourgoal is . . . raising the level of polit-ical dialogue on campus.

The group said that a high levelof political discussion on campuswill be an important factor in theupcoming election.

Were really excited that thiselection likely is going to be close,Thompson said. We students aregoing to have a significant role . . .and were really excited aboutthat.

ings adjacent to White Plaza.While [the White Plaza com-

plex] does include most of the as-pects found in other student unions,it lacks certain aspects, such as a

strong arts space as well as somemore kind of recreational activitiesfound in most student unions, Cruzsaid, noting that the union has par-ticularly strong centers for ethnic,religious and gender groups.

The unions were also found tobe particularly strong in having gen-eral-use areas for students.

We were as strong, if notstronger, than most other studentunions in terms of having reallygood study spaces or group meetingspaces, Cruz said.

In the student union study, 42percent of students said the firstthing they thought of when thinkingabout Old Union was a place to dogroup work, second only to TheAxe and Palm at 51 percent.

To address the shortcomings ofthe union spaces, the working groupcreated or expedited several pro-grams. Union Underground, an ini-tiative to create an area for student

art and a free store in the base-ment of Old Union, was piloted lastspring and received confirmation tocontinue operations this year.

It was actually a really bigstruggle to get space at all, said LizMatus 14, one of the students whohelped start the Union Under-ground project.

Matus said that the art aspect,addressing the need for student art

space, was what ultimately got theproject approved.The VSO Space Initiative was

created this quarter as a pilot pro-gram to allocate three rooms in OldUnion and four in the Nitery as of-fice, work and storage space for stu-dents groups. The ASSU issued anapplication for any student group toapply for its own space.

Former ASSU Vice PresidentStewart Macgregor-Dennis 13said that if the pilot program is suc-cessful, the working group plans totry to continue the initiative andexpand it. One drawback, he said,was that since more groups appliedfor space than the initiative couldaccommodate, groups might haveto move in and out of spaces peri-

odically.According to Cruz, the goal ofthe Student Space Initiative wasincreasing student engagementwith Old Union and having stu-

dents feel like they really have asense of ownership with the studentunions. He said the idea resultedfrom observations that studentswho feel at home in Stanfords stu-dent unions are generally those ac-tive in organizations housed there.

Student groups that didnt havethat kind of connection havent feltas much of a connection to OldUnion as an institution, Cruz said.

While a majority of students areinvolved in some group during theirtime at Stanford, we felt that [OldUnion engagement] was a majorlacking issue.

The ASSU manages unionspaces in conjunction with the Of-fice of the Vice Provost for StudentAffairs (VPSA). VPSA Director ofStudent Unions Jeanette Smith-Laws, who worked on the VSO Of-fice Space Pilot Program, did notrespond to a request for an inter-view.

Cruz also said that the ASSUhas finished funding its executiveaction grants for the year. Thegrants are given to groups of stu-dents looking to enhance Stanfordstudent life in some way, and en-

courage student recipients to inte-grate Old Union into their activities.

Turmoil, that Stanford rose from itsstatus as a regional institution in the1950s to a nationally and interna-tionally prestigious university by thetime the 70s were over.

However, this rise to promi-nence did not come without up-heaval on campus.

In his first year as president,Lyman suspended Associate Eng-lish Professor H. Bruce Franklin forinciting violence among students oncampus. Lyman was criticized forthis action during a Faculty Senatemeeting, in which Nobel LaureateLinus Pauling accused Lyman of in-fringing upon Franklins academicfreedom and individual rights.

In early 1971, students accusedLyman of tossing crumbs to blackstudents after a meeting with BlackStudent Union (BSU) leaders todiscuss demands of the group. Theco-chairman of BSU called Lymanblatantly negative and hostile.

BSU members had previouslytaken over the stage during a speechLyman delivered in Memorial Audi-torium in 1968.

We believe that the lack of re-sponse is indicative of either a shal-low interest in the questions whichaffect racial groups on this campus,or perhaps more accurately a gen-uine inability to deal with the ques-tions of racism, ASSU leaderswrote in an May 14, 1971, op-edprinted in The Daily.

Other on-campus protests dur-ing Lymans politically activetenure included protests againstCIA recruiting, ROTC training oncampus and conducting military re-search in campus labs. Students andfaculty participated in sit-ins andprotests that, in the case of the Enci-na Hall protest during Lymanstime as University provost, shutdown University buildings. He de-clared as president in 1971 that oc-cupying a building was not an ac-ceptable form of political actionwithin the University.

Lyman urged students and facul-ty to stay away from meetings andmarches in a Feb. 11, 1970, radio ad-dress on KZSU one of the manyweekly addresses he gave on KZSU.

He characterized the disruptions asthe frankly declared attempt to re-produce as much of the war as pos-sible on the Stanford Universitycampus.

These disruptions made theirway to Lymans personal residenceon El Escarpado Way. The Universi-ty installed a tripwire alarm system,a hot line to campus security, a firealarm wired directly to the campusfire station and additional exteriorlighting around the house to protectit from protestors while Lyman wasstill provost.

During one incident that tookplace the evening Lyman was host-ing a reception for the dean of the

School of Humanities and Sciences,protestors threw rocks into Lymansupstairs windows and launched asoda bottle filled with red paint intothe kitchen.

Lymans time as president alsosaw student uproar over more cam-pus-central issues.

In 1972, Lymans recommenda-tion that Stanford replace its Indi-an mascot was so unpopular thatalumni withheld donations inprotest, despite the student senatessupport for the mascot change at thetime.

That particular point of discon-tent was not enough to keep Lymanfrom raising $300 million in the 1972Campaign for Stanford. At the time,it was the largest-ever fundraisingeffort by an institute of higher edu-cation.

Lyman was unanimously electedto serve as president of the Rocke-feller Foundation upon leavingStanford in 1980, 10 years after hewas named to the post, living out hisown declaration in 1970 that a uni-versity president ought to only serve10 years.

Ideally a university presidentshould serve long enough to accom-plish something, and not longenough to make people think of hisaccomplishments wholly in the pasttense, Lyman told The Daily in Oc-tober 1970, less than a month afterhe assumed the presidency.

Lyman also served on the Na-tional Council on the Humanitiesfrom 1976 to 1982 and as vice chair-man of the council for two of those

years.The Stanford Alumni Associa-tion established the Richard W.Lyman Award for Faculty Service in1983. The award gives faculty $1,500earmarked for books and materialsin the faculty members field of in-terest to given to Stanford libraries.

In 2002, the National Humani-ties Center inaugurated the RichardW. Lyman Award. The award, givento five people each year from 2002until 2006, included a $500,000 grantfrom the Rockefeller Foundationand $25,000 prize in recognition ofacademics who developed a synthe-sis between knowledge in the hu-manities and technological innova-tion.

Lyman is survived by his wife,

Jing (Palo Alto), daughters Jennifer(Washington, D.C.) and the Rev.Holly Antolini (Cambridge, Mass.),sons Christopher (Searsmont,Maine) and Timothy (Hartford,Conn.) and four grandchildren.

The family has requested that, inthe place of flowers, memorial dona-tions be made out to the AmericanFriends Service Committee or theMichelle R. Clayman Institute forGender Research at Stanford.

By RAYMOND LOUNG

The transition from highschool to college can behard for incomingfreshmen, especiallywith separation from

parents and siblings leading tohomesickness. For twins whohave often spent the entirety oftheir lives together this dis-tance can seem even further. Butwhat if your twin werent so faraway? What if you lived on thesame college campus, or maybe afew doors down the same hall, oreven in the same room?

For many twins at Stanford,this situation is the reality. TheUniversity is home to many sets oftwins and even triplets.

While rumor has it that havingyour twin gain acceptance intoStanford increases your chances,

Sonya Smith 95, associate direc-tor of Undergraduate Admis-sions, set the record straight thatbeing a multiple does not provideany sort of advantage over a non-multiple in gaining admission toStanford. Nor does being a multi-ple increase all multiples chancesof getting into Stanford.

While we are sensitive totwins, triplets [and] multiples ap-plying, we treat them just thesame as any other applicant, shesaid. That is, our admission re-view is centered on each individ-ual applicant. We read each stu-dents file holistically and in con-

text of her or his school and com-munity.

Smith said that at times sib-lings may share similar back-grounds, causing them to havesimilar narratives, yet she empha-sized the fact that each applicant

has a unique story to tell.Though admissions officers do

not specifically group multiplestogether, they do acknowledgewhen an applicant has a sibling inthe applicant pool. There is an op-tion on the Stanford Supplementfor applicants to indicate if theyhave a sibling who is also applyingto Stanford.

It may mean that she or he isa twin, triplet [or] multiple, but itcould also mean that one sibling isapplying as a freshman and anoth-er as a transfer or that one siblingis graduating early, Smith said.Sometimes a teacher or guid-

ance counselor letter will alsomention that the applicant is atwin or triplet.

Even if each multiple gains ac-ceptance to the same university,there is still the common needamong siblings to differentiate

themselves from one another.However, many sets of twins whoattend Stanford note that the Uni-versity is large enough for each todevelop his or her own experience.

Elena Ayala 14 attends Stan-ford with her twin Alejandro. Shenoted that, during freshman year,they were placed on oppositesides of campus, and as a result,developed separate groups offriends. In fact, the only times theysaw each other were when theirparents visited.

The two also focus on differentareas of academic study. Elenaplans to study English and sociol-

ogy, while her brother enjoyscomputer science. Despite thesedifferences, however, this yearboth are taking Social Dance andcurrently live in Crothers Hall.

Though we have differentand separate lives, there is alwaysthe possibility of being able to seehim for help and companionship,Elena said.

Twins Melanie and VeronicaPolin 14 observe similar experi-ences at Stanford.

In high school, it was a lotharder to separate, Veronicasaid. Growing up, we were a lotmore put together in different ac-tivities, but at Stanford, wevebeen really able to pursue differ-ent interests and create our ownidentities.

Though they share similar cir-cles of friends and are roommatesthis year, the two have differentacademic interests. Melanie plansto major in biology, while Veroni-ca intends to study internationalrelations and economics.

Melanie suggested that, whileshe enjoys having Veronicaaround, they experience no pres-sure to hang out all the time. Inparticular, Melanie looks forwardto studying abroad in order to liveindependently from her sister.

Studying abroad in a differentcountry will be an entirely new ex-perience, Melanie said. Forthree months, Ill be able to see

what life would be like withoutmy sister.For freshmen, having a famil-

iar face on campus can ease partof the anxiety that comes with thetransition to college. Arielle Ba-sich 15 attends Stanford with hertwin brother Chase and said shebelieves that her adjustment tocollege life was made easier by thepresence of her brother.

I love having someone to talkabout friends and family backhome, Arielle said. Plus, he is mybest friend, so I couldnt really askfor anything better.

Basich also noted that incom-ing freshman twins tend to beplaced into separate housing. Forinstance, she lives in Stern Hall

while her brother lives in Flo-rence Moore Hall. She said shefeels this has essential to the cre-ation of her own college experi-ence independent of her twin.

Elena, Melanie, Veronica andArielle all agreed that there aremany sets of twins at Stanford andthe pairs are able to relate andbond over a shared experience.

We can laugh at a lot of simi-lar things and tendencies that weknow and have, Veronica saidwith a smile. Its a twin thing.

For many twins at Stanfordwhose siblings attend anotheruniversity, separating from theirother halves came with the initialdrastic change of leaving home.

Mitch Wheeler 14 is an identi-

cal twin whose brother attendsthe University of Chicago. Theyare able to visit each other at leastonce a year and Skype fairlyoften. In addition, both Stanfordand the University of Chicago areon quarter systems, so they sharesimilar academic breaks. Never-theless, Wheeler admitted that thetransition to college was mademore difficult because his twinwas across the country.

[When I am at home], I am al-ways with [him] doing some-thing, Wheeler said. When Icome to Stanford, I have a lotmore time alone to do my own

thing, but there are kids that kindof replace your twin.

Despite their geographic sepa-ration, Mitch and his brother areboth economics majors and oftentake similar classes.

In retrospect, it would havebeen nice and cool to have himwith me, to have somebody to dostuff with, to take the same classes[since] were the same major, hesaid.

Wheeler notes that if his twinhad come to Stanford, he proba-bly would have had a similar ex-perience. They are both involvedin Greek life and consider them-selves to be outgoing people,though they are more outgoing asa pair.

Michael Celentano 14 is a fra-ternal twin whose sister attendsWashington University in St.Louis. He also has two older sis-ters, but comments on how beingseparated from his twin is differ-ent than being away from hisother siblings.

The transition is much moreextreme with a twin because youare constantly together when[youre] growing up, he noted.We were in the same grade andclasses, and our social lives over-lapped.

Celentano plans to study mathand physics and finds Stanford tobe the right fit for him, while hissister enjoys art and anthropology

and prefers the social environ-ment at Washington University inSt. Louis.

Despite missing his sister, Ce-lentano said he believes physicaldistance is necessary in order todifferentiate himself from his twin.

Its good to get space and ex-ercise independence, he said.We have to separate at somepoint. Were not going to be witheach other for our entire lives, andcollege seems to be an appropri-ate time to start anew.

For everyone, theres an ele-ment of entering a fresh environ-ment with completely new peo-ple. To have someone whom youknow really well diminishes thatelement, he added.

Though both their twins arenot at Stanford, both Wheeler andCelentano noted that being a twinis an integral part of their identity.They use the twin experience as aconversation starter and enjoyobserving and comparing othertwin relationships with their own.

According to Basich, there isalso something to be said for mak-ing friends with other twins whoseexperiences going to school withor without their twin have affect-ed their undergraduate lives.

Once you meet someone whois a twin, you dont forget it, shesaid.

Sitting next to the Mausoleum, the Angelof Grief might be the lesser known of thetwo Stanford landmarks, yet the image ofan angel hunched over in tears is hard toforget. The statue is even more memo-

rable for its meaning: It serves as an emblem ofJane Stanfords grief over the loss of her brotherHenry Lathrop, who lived with her after LelandStanford Sr. died. Lathrop is buried beneath thestatue.

At the time that she [had the statue built],there was a bigger cemetery in the arboretum,said University Archaeologist Laura Jones. TheUniversity faculty, staff and employees were alsoburied [there].

Before she died, Jane Stanford had the ceme-tery in the arboretum moved to its present-day lo-cation on Arastradero Road.

She didnt want the arboretum to be just acemetery, Jones said. There were more andmore graves, and she was concerned that it wasgoing to take over the entire arboretum.

Still, the angel stayed, even though it is not theoriginal statue Jane Stanford commissioned in1901. The first one was damaged in the 1906 SanFrancisco earthquake, and Charles Lathrop, an-other one of Janes brothers, arranged to have areplacement brought from Italy.

The original angel had a marble cupola overthe top of it, Jones said. Thats what fel l in 1906.

Small marble tiles also surrounded the entireoriginal statue.

Since its replacement, the University has madea strong effort to preserve the Angel of Grief. In

1996, the original small marble tiles surroundingthe statue were replaced with plants in a restora-tion project.

Although it sits in a secluded part of the ar-boretum, the angel is not immune to vandalism.The University once had to repair the angels armafter someone carved it off.

[The statue is] over-scaled slightly. If she stoodup, she would have been over seven feet tall,Jones said. We scaled it back slightly, and theCantor Arts Center curators reviewed it as well.This hand is slightly smaller than the other hand.If it was [made] to scale, it would have lookedmonstrous.

Jane Stanfords grief and love for her brotherHenry, although captured in the statue itself, canbest be seen in a letter she wrote to Charles fol-lowing Henrys death. In particular, she included

words of instruction to ensure careful preparationfor the statue.

Dear brother, do not have any of these mar-bles unpacked until I get home, she wrote in a let-ter written before the statue was erected. Havethem carefully put in a safe, dry place.

Nowadays, the Angel is used as a more univer-sal memorial site for locals to mourn the loss oftheir loved ones.

Still, the monument retains both its historiccharm and initial significance as Jane Stanfordstribute to the premature death of a beloved sib-ling, much in the same way that the Farm itselfstands as a memorial to her deceased son and theUniversitys namesake, Leland Stanford Jr.

Irecently got to see author RaviZacharias speak. I hadnt everheard of him before the event,

but he sparked my attention dur-ing the question-and-answer seg-ment following the talk when headdressed the meaning of life. He

posited that there are four neces-sary components to find meaningin life: truth, love, security andwonder.

If you stood in the middle ofWhite Plaza and tried to ask 100students on campus where theylook to find meaning in life, thenine or 10 students willing to stopand respond would probably in-clude the first three on their list:truth, love and security. But won-der? You may be hard-pressed tofind that answer. Is having wonderin life necessary for meaning?And if so, why is it so underappre-ciated?

I recently restarted watchingwrestling. And not Olympic-style,grapple, counter, mat wrestling. I

mean chokeslam-through-a-table, steel-chair-to-the-face-of-a-7-foot-300-pound-gimmick,staged professional wrestling. Iused to watch it every week grow-ing up, and I dreamt of becominga professional wrestler one day,

despite possessing the size andshape of a meerkat.

I started watching again be-cause of a new straightedgewrestler named CM Punk, and, letme just say, the 10 years betweenwatching as a 10-year-old andwatching it now has made a hugedifference. I always knew it wasfake, but not this fake. If youvenever experienced the joy andwonder that is professionalwrestling, you should stop readingthis right now and hop onYouTube. The personalities areflat, the feuds are more scriptedthan soap operas and the actualwrestling is hit or miss. And by hitor miss, I mean whether the per-son gets a hit or misses, the otherguy falls over. Its incredible.

But twice a week for twohours, stadiums and conventioncenters are filled with fans cheer-ing, booing and paying to seegrown men in tights fake fight.And its because of the sense ofwonder this fake world holds.Anything can happen. In thisworld, the good guy doesnt al-ways win, the rules arent alwaysfollowed and the little guy cansometimes overcome the giant.Even though they are completelyaware it is fake, thousands of peo-ple every week look to profes-sional wrestling to divorce them-selves from their world of mun-dane routine.

And this is the type of wonderI think Ravi Zacharias was refer-ring to as necessary for findingmeaning in life. Not professionalwrestling specifically, but a won-der found from seeing the every-day world around us with aston-ishment, without jaded or dulledhearts. It is the appreciation forthings regardless of their in-evitability or routine. It is thehope that anything, no matterhow small and insignificant, canbecome great. It is the excitementthat anything and everything canhappen.

And I think the busy collegeworld is detrimental to this sense

of wonder. In order to succeed asa college kid, you need to haveyour world figured out so you canbest take advantage of it. Thefreedom of time is reduced tohourly calendar spots within a daythat must be filled as efficiently aspossible. Passions and longingssimply become weekly routines ofgoing through the motions. Ac-tions and choices become the ha-bitual cause-and-effect decisionthat reaps the most effective ben-efits. Emotions and imaginationare dismissed for figures andgraphs, and questions of why?and what if? are replaced by themore pragmatic and explainablehow? questions. And thereinlies the problem.

There was a solar eclipse lastweek, and everyone gatheredwith wonder and astonishment towatch, but the wonder seemed todie once the sun was no longer ob-scured. That seems ironic to me.Theres a giant, flaming ball of gasin the sky that gives us heat and

growing plants and deliciousSunny D, and we only find itamazing when something gets inits way?

We need to rethink the way weperceive the world, and it startswith hope and humility. Maybe wehavent figured out everythingthere is to know about the thingsand people and places in front ofus. In the words of G.K. Chester-ton, The world will never starvefor want of wonders; but only forwant of wonder.

HALF-INVENTED

Stare at the sun ChaseIshii

When he was a kid, my dadwasnt allowed to leavethe dinner table until he

had finished everything on hisplate. Still scarred from stomach-ing more canned peas and carrotsthan he wanted, my dad neverforced me to finish my food. Atdinnertime, he would usually justrepeat his favorite mantra, Chewslowly, and encourage me to takeonly what I would actually eat.

Except when overwhelmed byoptions at the new Arrillaga Fam-ily Dining Commons, I think mydads parenting was about as ef-fective as his parents: I usuallyfinish whatever is on my plate. Alot of Stanford students dont,though. Our campus still gener-ates somewhere on the order of1,300 tons of food waste eachyear.

Stanfords commitment towaste reduction was first appar-ent to me at a zero waste lunchduring Admit Weekend. Zerowaste events feature all-com-postable materials in an attemptto raise awareness about the un-fortunate ease and frequency with

which we throw away food andpackaging materials. Its impor-tant to focus attention on wastestreams, since the average Stan-ford student generates almost 14pounds of waste each week. Ofthat, 1.8 pounds per person arefood service organics. Somesimple math suggests that a stu-dent generates, on average, 95pounds of food waste per year,and thats just in the end con-sumption stage.

Zero waste lunches are an ef-fective outreach strategy, but theirname is a little misleading. Havingvolunteered at zero wasteevents like the recent SpringFaire, Ive seen how much materi-al gets placed into plastic trash

bins at the end of the event. Sure,the waste in these bins is headedtoward a compost facility insteadof a landfill, but its still waste.

Serving food on compostableplates or containers is a step in theright direction, but we need to bemore conscious of the food wasteleft on those plates (not to men-tion the energy and resourcesused to produce the single-use,disposable plates). Perhaps theevents would be more aptlynamed zero landfill affairs, be-cause then students might consid-er the fact that uneaten food is stillwaste, even if it goes to a compost-ing facility.

The amount of food wasted onour planet is a symptom of our

faulty food systems. Almost athird of all food produced forhuman consumption is wastedsomewhere along the path fromproduction to consumption. Lastyear, this meant 1.3 billion tons offood were lost or wasted. In devel-oped countries like the UnitedStates, consumers are to blame formuch of this wasted food.

According to the United Na-tions Food and Agriculture Or-ganization, the developed worldwastes 222 million tons of foodeach year. This number is almostequivalent to the amount of foodproduced annually in all of sub-Saharan Africa. Americans areprime offenders. We waste 40 per-cent of the food produced for

human consumption, at a cost ofover $100 billion annually.

Recognizing this problem,Stanford students and staff haverallied to target food waste reduc-tion through their Love Food,Hate Waste campaign. StanfordDining, acting much like my dad,encourages students to take onlywhat they will eat. Any uneatenfood is scraped into compostingbins and transported to theNewby Island compost facility bythe Peninsula Sanitary Service,Inc., where it is turned into usablemulch that is then driven back tocampus for use in gardens andlandscaping. Its better than send-ing the food to a landfill where itwould produce methane (a green-house gas 23 times more potentthan carbon dioxide) during

anaerobic decay, but driving foodup and down the Peninsula stillproduces unnecessary carbonemissions.

The Stanford Project onHunger tries to further reducewaste by taking leftovers fromdining halls and houses to thePalo Alto Opportunity Center,but their limited volunteer basecant do everything. So the onus isback on students, faculty and staff.

Its probably impossible toachieve a zero waste food sys-tem, but there are some steps wecan take before, during and aftermeals to reduce food waste. TheWorldwatch Institute encouragesAmericans to be realistic aboutmeals, plan ahead, go small at

mealtime, use self-serving mealstations, store leftovers, compostfood scraps, repurpose food intonew meals and donate excess.Some of these steps are not thatapplicable to students eating indining halls, but its a pretty sim-ple, important list to rememberfor post-college life. In campusdining halls, though, it boils downto the message my dad taught meas a child: Take only what youthink youll actually eat. You canalways go back for seconds.

KLAHN LEAVES ON HIGH NOTEBy MARSHALL WATKINS

DESK EDITOR

The singles and doubles portionof the NCAA Championshipsonce again proved to be an elusiveprize for the Stanford mens tennisteam this weekend, with seniorBradley Klahn falling to eventualchampion Steve Johnson of USCin the semifinal of the singles eventand the duo of Klahn and fellowsenior Ryan Thacher coming up

just short in the doubles quarterfi-nal against Oklahomas CostinPaval and Dane Webb.

Going into the Round of 16 onFriday, Klahn an at-large en-trant into the tournament field appeared to be peaking at just theright time on the same Universityof Georgia courts where he wonthe 2010 NCAA singles champi-onship, having yet to drop a set andcoming off of a upset of No. 4Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia in thefirst round.

Playing against No. 10-seedCole Buchanan of Ohio State onFriday, Klahn claimed the first setquickly and jumped out to a 3-0lead with two break point opportu-nities in the second set.

Buchanan rallied, however,saving both break points en routeto taking the second set, but Klahnadapted and rallied to clinch ahard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 victory.

Klahns quarterfinal testagainst No. 14-seed Nik Scholtzof Mississippi proved to be aneasier affair. Scholtz, a freshman,had played three consecutivethree-setters prior to Saturdayscontest, and his fatigue showed asKlahn claimed an emphatic 6-1, 6-3 victory.

Moving into the semifinals,Klahn was confronted for thethird time this year by Johnson,the 2011 singles champion and

holder of a 70-match win streak.Klahn and Johnson grew up to-gether in Southern California andcompeted against each othercountless times, and Klahn was thelast player to beat Johnson morethan 16 months ago.

On Sunday, however, Klahnstruggled to threaten Johnsonsserve, with the two rivals staying onserve throughout the first set be-fore Johnson broke Klahn in thetenth game to win the set 6-4. In the

second set, Klahn and Johnsonswapped breaks early on beforegoing down to the wire again, butJohnson eventually came up with asecond break to win out 6-4, 7-5.

Johnson would go on to repeatas NCAA singles national champi-on on Monday, beating No. 3-seedEric Quigley of Kentucky 6-4, 6-4in the final.

Klahn, meanwhile, concluded astandout Cardinal career evenwith a senior campaign shortenedby injury with a 130-34 overallsingles record, a 60-22 duals ledger,three All-American awards inboth singles and doubles and onesingles national championship in2010.

In the doubles draw, Klahn and

Thacher faced a dangerous Sweet16 opponent Friday in No. 16-seedHenrique Cunha and Chris Men-gel of Duke. The No.-4 seed Cardi-nal duo, who have won eight dou-bles titles together in their time onthe Farm, hoped to improve ontheir 2011 performance whenthey lost in the tournament final and conclude their prolific pairingon a high note.

Cunha and Mengel showedthemselves to be capable oppo-nents, taking the first set on a 7-3tiebreaker and jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the second set. Klahn and

FRENZIED FINALEHere we goagain,England

Ipromised myself it wouldnthappen this time. I thought Icould keep it cool and that thephysical distance between usand the memory of how

youve hurt me and let me down somany times before would beenough to prevent me from repeat-

ing past mistakes. But try as I might,I just cant stay mad at you. Damnyou, England.

In just under two weeks time, the2012 UEFA European FootballChampionship, the biggest interna-tional prize outside of the WorldCup, will kick off in the two hostcountries of Poland and Ukraine.Looking at the current FIFA rank-ings, the England team is the fifth-best European squad, but with threeof the teams ahead of it drawn to-gether in the Group of Death, myhome team should be looking to, atthe very least, reach the semifinals.However, life is never that easy foran England fan. It seems almost in-evitable that this team, consisting ofmany of the worlds top players, will

crash and burn and that well haveto divert our sporting interest toLondon hosting the Olympics un-naturally early.

It never used to be this way. Backin 1966, we actually won a WorldCup, and even when I was a kid,there seemed to be real hope. Eng-land rarely got beyond the quarter-finals, but our exits, though painful,seemed respectable. You could feelproud of the teams performanceand know that soon it would breakthe run and make it to a final.

On the back of ex-coach FabioCapellos dreadful campaign at thelast World Cup two years ago andthe increasingly misguided deci-sions and appointments by the Eng-lish FA who renegotiated Capel-los contract just days before hisabysmal showing in South Africa toensure we were subjected to twomore years of his genius thathope seems to have run dry. Tuningin to watch a game, especially a tour-nament qualifier or friendly, has be-come a chore, something you knowyoure supposed to do but wont re-ally enjoy.

There are frustrations too aboutthe leadership of the global game.FIFA appears to be plagued by cor-ruption on such a scale that it makeseven the dirtiest politicians looksqueaky-clean. It is also no real se-cret that many of those in charge ofinternational soccer are no fans ofEngland. Apart from criticizing the

United Kingdoms free press for in-vestigating corruption allegationsand making it pretty clear that theWorld Cup wont be hosted on Eng-lands shores any time soon, FIFAhas also grabbed hold of the prepos-terous idea that soccer is not in factan English game, but instead a Chi-nese one. No one in England hasever claimed to have invented theball, but it is a clear, indisputable factthat the roots of the modern gamelie in this little Northern Europeancountry.

And dont get me started on vio-lence and racism. England once hada serious problem with these issues,but it remains one of the few coun-tries to have taken significant stepsto correct this and has become a

leading light in the fight againstboth. In contrast, reports surfacingfrom Poland and Ukraine suggestthat both countries have failed toaddress these serious problems. Justthis year, masses of Ukrainian fanswere reported giving the Nazi saluteto their team, and, two weeks afterthat incident, the same clubs fansturned on a handful of Indian sup-porters in their midst.

The worst thing about this,though, is that we dont have ourown house in order. With FIFA be-sieged by corruption allegations, ourFA attempted to bribe the executivecommittee ahead of the World Cupselection, and included on oursquad for Euro 2012 is a player, de-fender John Terry, facing allegations

of racial abuse.Faced with all these things, there

are easily enough reasons for menot to tune in this summer, to not todrag myself out of bed early towatch live games and deal with theinevitable defeat when it comes.

But even over here I can alreadysense what must be going on backhome.

By JOSEPH BEYDADESK EDITOR

A disappointing weekend against Cal atSunken Diamond wrapped up a conference sea-son of missed opportunities for the No. 11 Stan-ford baseball team.

With conference-leading Oregon losing allthree games to Oregon State, the Cardinalwould have finished in a three-way tie for thePac-12 championship had it swept the un-ranked Bears. Instead, Stanford (38-16, 18-12Pac-12) finished in a three-way tie for fourthplace after losing twice, marking the second-straight year that the preseason-frontrunnerCardinal has slipped to the middle of the pack.

Stanford was outlasted by its cross-bay rivalin a perplexing 18-inning opener before a 15-5bludgeoning by the Bears (29-25, 12-18) on Sat-urday, but still enters the postseason on a win-ning note with a 5-3 Sunday win.

The final victory came just hours after theannouncement that the Farm would be one of16 regional sites in the NCAA Tournament,with Stanford set to host Fresno State, MichiganState and Pepperdine next weekend. In the 14years that the Cardinal has hosted a regional, ithas reached the College World Series 11 times.

As he prepares to make another run atOmaha, head coach Mark Marquess isnt put-ting too much stock in this weekends seriesloss.

The crazy thing is that you dont know. You

can win all three [in your last series] and notplay well in the regional, or you can lose allthree and then all of a sudden you play [bet-ter], he said. So it really is a second season I tell the players that and theres enoughtime off that theres not necessarily a carry-over.

There was a carryover from the CardinalsSaturday night loss, from the Bears epic 18-in-ning win in the series opener that is tied for thelongest game in each schools recorded history.Cal played an 18-inning game in 1943, and Stan-ford, whose records only date back 15 years, hadone of its own in 2002.

In the big picture, the 4-5 loss eliminated theCardinal from Pac-12 title contention, snappedits eight-game winning streak and likely threat-ened its chances at hosting a Super Regional.

But all 569 pitches of the five-hour and 58-

minute contest were bizarre entertainment forthe 2,743 fans who packed into Sunken Dia-mond or, at least those who stuck around forthe end of the chilly marathon.

Junior righthander Mark Appel (9-1) leftwith a 2-1 lead and eight strikeouts to his namethrough seven innings, but the Bears clawedback with an unearned run in the eighth. TheCardinal had runners in scoring position in eachof the next two innings but couldnt convert,sending the game to extras.

Sophomore righty A.J. Vanegas held Cal offthe scoreboard until the 12th, when senior catch-er Chadd Krist battled back from 0-2 with twoouts and lined a two-run double to put the Bearsahead 4-2.

An inexplicable bottom of the 12th then lefteveryone crowd, dugouts, press box and all in shock.

With one on and two out, sophomore first

baseman Brian Ragira walked and right fielderAustin Wilson doubled, narrowing the margin toone. An intentional walk loaded the bases forpinch-hitter Brett Michael Doran.

With the count at 1-2, Doran shot a ball deepto left field which landed just foul and hit thewall on one bounce. But incredibly, home-plateumpire Billy Speck ruled the play a home run,apparently believing that the ball had hit thefoul pole and bounced back into the playingfield.

Cardinal bats and helmets were strewneverywhere, and both teams streamed out oftheir dugouts: Stanford celebrating in center-field, and Cal contesting the call down the third-base line.

The play was eventually reversed, but evenafter the Cardinals equipment had been pickedup, the drama persisted. On the very next pitch,Doran hit a cue shot between first base and themound, advancing everyone easily to tie thegame.

The ball was so perfectly placed, in fact, thatWilson had enough time to come around fromsecond for the winning run. But he stutter-stepped at third base and was thrown out at theplate, then ejected for slamming his helmet infrustration.

The teams would battle back and forth for sixmore innings, with Stanford using four differentcatchers while several batters for both teamsregistered eight at-bats.

It would be Cals star shortstop Tony Rendawho broke through in the 18th. The Bears put a

runner in scoring position on the games 10th sacbunt, before Renda came to the plate at 0-for-7on the evening. His eighth time up was thecharm, though, as Renda singled on a full countto put his team ahead 5-4.

Junior shortstop Kenny Diekroeger also0-for-7 at that point led off the bottom half ofthe inning with a double, but the Cardinal couldnot bring him home.

The deflating loss seemed to stick with Stan-ford the following afternoon, as the Bears cap-tured their first series win on the Farm since 2008in dominant fashion.

It didnt bother Cal at all. They came outand played well, hit the ball around the ballparkand really gave us a good beating, playing muchbetter than we did in all phases of the game,Marquess said. Unless they got more sleep thanwe did, I dont know why.

They just gave a good whipping, he added.

It seemed as if the Bears, having used Satur-day starter Justin Jones as a reliever in the open-er, would have an off pitching day, but instead itwas the Cardinal that was exposed on themound. Redshirt junior lefthander BrettMooneyham lasted just 3.2 innings, allowingeight earned runs and 10 hits, and fellow leftyGarrett Hughes couldnt record a single out inrelief.

Cal got on the board with two outs in the sec-ond inning, scoring four runs with two outs afterKrist who leads the Pac-12 in doubles and seta Cal career record over the weekend hadanother two-bagger to ignite a rally. Stanfordloaded the bases in the bottom half and got backtwo runs on a wild pitch and an error by catcherAndrew Knapp, but the Bears limited the dam-age to just that pair of scores

It would be the visitors ability toprevent big innings and put upcrooked numbers of their own that would turn the tide so dramati-cally. After five more Cal runs in thefourth, the Cardinal again loaded

the bases with one out but couldonly tally once to make it 9-3.

Two-out hitting got each teamtwo more runs in the sixth, but somesloppy seventh-inning fielding ex-tended the Bears lead to 14-5 andfully put the game out of reach.

When all was said and done, Calhad burned through eight Stanfordpitchers and became the first teamall year to score in double-digitsagainst the Cardinal.

I just think youve got to exe-cute a little better, junior catcherEric Smith said after the series.Youve just got to throw the ballover the plays a little better, makethe routine plays, execute on of-fense a little better.

It was good to see that we came

out and fought real well on Sunday,he added. We got that win and

avoided the sweep.To that point, it had been Krists

three doubles and Cal leftfielderDanny Ohs 6-for-10 performancethrough two games that had high-lighted the weekends hitting. ButStanfords bats started to emerge aswell on Sunday, with junior leftfield-er Tyler Gaffney earning his firststart of the weekend and going 3-for-5 in the finale.

After Cal third baseman Mitch

Delfino opened the scoring with asolo home run in the second, juniorcenterfielder Jake Stewart struckback with a three-run home run.The Bears tallied in the third tomake it 3-2, but the Cardinal re-sponded with sophomore secondbaseman Brett Michael Doran driv-ing in a run.

Krists fourth double of theweekend led to another Cal run inthe fourth, but Gaffney kept theCardinal cushion at three with asolo shot to lead off the bottom halfof the frame.

From there on out, the pitcherswere in control. Stephen Piscotty(4-2) gave up just four hits throughseven innings, and fellow juniorrighty Sahil Bloom cleaned up the

final two innings to keep Stanfordahead 5-3. The Bears were outhit by

the Cardinal for the first time allweekend.

Stanford now prepares to hostFresno State (30-26, 8-10 WesternAthletic Conference) in its regionalopener. The two squads met for athree-game series in the third weekof the season, with the Bulldogshanding then-No. 1 Cardinal its firstloss of the season before Stanfordresponded with a 16-0 Saturdaywin.

Well, its good that were famil-iar with them, Marquess said. Thebad thing is that Appels only loss isto Fresno State, so thats a realtough four-seed.

Marquess also noted FresnoStates 2008 College World Seriestitle, when the Bulldogs were also aNo. 4 seed in their regional andmade one of the greatest Cinderellaruns in college sports history enroute to the championship.

No. 3 Michigan State and No. 2Pepperdine will play in the earlygame, scheduled for 1 p.m., beforeNo. 1 Stanford and No. 4 FresnoState meet at 6 p.m. All games in theregional will be televised onESPN3.com.

Thacher rallied, however, andmade consistent inroads into theBlue Devils serves en route to a 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2 victory.

In the quarterfinals, the Cardi-nal team faced No. 10-seed Paval

and Webb, who had struggled tothree-set victories in both of theirearlier matches. The Sooners, how-ever, made a quick start to thematch, claiming the first set 7-5.Klahn and Thacher rallied to takethe second set on a tiebreak, buthad no response to an Oklahomabreak in the third set as they suc-

cumbed to a 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-3 defeat.Paval and Webb went on to lose

in the semifinals against No. 1-seed and eventual championsChase Buchanan and Blaz Rola ofOhio State.

For both Klahn and Thacher,their exit from the tournamentmarks the conclusion of sterlingStanford careers, having led theCardinal lineup through four suc-cessful individual and team sea-

to stay in points.Gibbs persistence paid off.

She won three straight games asBurdette began making un-forced errors and double faultedon a crucial point. The set evenedout at 4-4, and after tradingbreaks they went into a tiebreak.

Burdette again looked poised

to win the match, needing justtwo points to clinch after jump-ing out to a 5-2 lead. But Gibbshung on to win five straightpoints and take the set. At thatpoint, all of the momentum andconfidence belonged to the soph-omore, and she got an earlybreak on her way to a 6-3 third-set win.

The teammates would latershare the joy of winning a cham-pionship together, but thatwould have to wait. As Gibbsstood on her side looking at the

sky with a smile, Burdette satdown on her side of the court andstared off in disbelief.

Head coach Lele Foroodsummed up how it must have feltfor her top two players.

Its difficult. Its even difficultfor the winner because they arereally excited, but also they feelbad for their teammate, she said.

Gibbs and Burdette gave eachother time apart to soak up theemotions from the match, butthere was more work to be done.

I knew there was no way I

was going to let that singlesmatch get in the way of us per-forming the way I thought wecould in doubles, Burdette said.

Burdette eventually foundGibbs to tell her how proud shewas and how excited she was fordoubles.

I told her congratulations,and I was like You can come in-side. Im fine. Im not going tobite. You can come inside and sitand hang out until we go on thedoubles court, Burdette said.

Gibbs certainly appreciated

the gesture, and their hard-fought battle in singles onlyseemed to help their play on thedoubles court.

She was such a professionaland such a great teammate . . .We were as close as teammatesas we have ever been playing forthe championship match in dou-bles, Gibbs said.

Just over an hour later, thetwo paired up on the same side ofthe court to win the doubles tro-phy. Gibbs and Burdette defeat-ed Georgias Nadja Gilchrist and

Chelsey Gullickson 6-2, 6-4.It was the second NCAA dou-

bles championship in a row forBurdette and the first for Gibbsafter entering this years doublesdraw as the No. 2 seed. Stanfordhas now won three straightNCAA doubles titles and 15overall.

We played really well, supersolid, and I couldnt be moreproud, Burdette said.
