KZSU engineer reflects on halfa century of student-run radio

By BRITTANY TORREZ

Amid increasing concerns aboutmental health awareness on campusand growing student usage of Stan-fords Counseling and PsychologicalServices (CAPS), subcommittees ofthe Universitys newly establishedMental Health and Well-Being

Advisory Board will present a set ofideas and findings produced thisacademic year to a board meetinglater this month.

The board, co-chaired by CAPSdirector Ron Albucher and Associ-ate Vice Provost for Student AffairsSally Dickson, was created last

spring in response to the recom-mendations of a 2008 report on cam-pus mental health. The board con-sists of 24 members includingstudents, faculty and staff with arange of backgrounds and experi-ence in mental health, and has mettwice since its formation.

Albucher framed the approach-ing board meeting as a means ofsynthesizing the work of the boardsfive subcommittees, which haveaddressed topics ranging from cur-rent issues and trends in mentalhealth to student relationships andhow those affect mental well-being.

The goal of the upcoming meet-ing that were having is to kind ofbeing to pull all of that together, lookfor areas of overlap, simplify things

and then figure out our next steps,

Albucher said.According to Alejandro Mar-

tinez, senior associate director forconsultation and liaison at CAPS,challenges surrounding mentalhealth are more prominent around

week five of the quarter as academ-ic stress accumulates, promptingfurther examination by the boardssubcommittees. Ultimately, howev-er, the board will focus on the entire-ty of campus mental health issues,according to Dickson.

We look at some of the experi-ences that Stanford students bringto campus and we look at what new

stressors are created while being

here, Dickson said. Its somethingwe have to be on top of at all timesand this advisory board is an exam-ple of our effort to do that.

The subcommittees reports willcome at a time when interest in andawareness about mental health oncampus has become increasingly

widespread, according to Universityadministrators.

One of the biggest changes Iveseen in the past year is the amountof interest and commitment that

students have in the area of mental

health, Martinez said.Martinez cited a surge in enrol-

ment in EDUC 193P: Peer Counsel-ing at the Bridge, a class that heteaches through the Bridge PeerCounseling Center and thatinstructs students on the basics ofcounseling and mental health, asevidence of that increased interestamong students. Seventy-nine stu-dents are currently enrolled in theclass, compared to 46 last quarter.

BOSP summer program addsseminars in second year back

STUDENT LIFE

OverseasSeminar

apps fall

By JOSEE SMITH

The Bing Overseas Studies Pro-grams (BOSP) Overseas Seminarscomponent received fewer applicationsthis year than last year despite offeringthree more programs.

According to BOSP DirectorRamon Saldivar, 344 students appliedto the eight programs in Vienna, Rio deJaneiro, India, Israel, Madagascar,Palau and Cardiff, Wales. Around 15students were accepted to each of theeight programs, for a total of approxi-mately 120 students.

Last year, by contrast, there werefive overseas seminars, with a total of460 applicants.

Saldivar downplayed the signifi-cance of the decline, emphasizing thelimited value of only two years of data.

Fluctuations always happen, Sal-divar said. If that trend continues forthe next four or five years, then wellstart thinking about what it means. Butthe most important thing about theseminars is that we are only offering a

very small number and we continue tobe hugely oversubscribed. The totalnumber of applications greatly exceedsthe number of spots we have avail-able.

Saldivar refused to give a break-down of application numbers for eachspecific seminar.The waitlist for each seminar alsoincludes 15 students, so that BOSP canmake sure that they fill each of the pro-grams to capacity.

We have no specific goal about thenumber of students we want to apply,Saldivar said. We want to make surethat we meet student interest. It alsoprovides information for me to give tomy superiors when making budgetrequests and whatnot that the demandof these programs exceeds what we canoffer. It can strengthen my case for

wanting to offer more of these semi-nars.

Saldivar expressed optimism aboutthe support the seminars have received

from students and faculty.Every indication from studentevaluations, faculty responses, anyreview body like the SUES (Study ofUndergraduate Education at Stanford)[report] continues to point to theoverseas seminars as being really suc-cessful, Saldivar said. That is a given.The next question is, how many morecan we do? At this point, it is based onfunding, in a broad sense. It is alsobased on how many we can afford to dogiven the size of this office, given facul-ty interest.

Biology professor SusanMcConnell, who will teach a summerseminar in Costa Rica on conservationphotography, said she was happy aboutthe increase in the number of seminarsoffered this year and was pleased with

the number of applicants she received.Even while the summer seminars

continue to enjoy generally strong

2 profs win National Medal of ScienceBy NITHYA VIJAYAKUMAR

When the call from the WhiteHouse came in late December, LucyShapiro wasnt quite sure how toreact.

When someone gets on thephone and tells you that the Presi-dent of the United States is awardingyou the highest honor that they givein science and technology, and that isalso for outstanding service to yournation, its quite a thrill, Shapiro,professor of developmental biologyat the School of Medicine, said.

Less than two months later,Shapiro flew to Washington, D.C. foran awards ceremony honoring her asone of 12 National Medal of Sciencerecipients. The annual award recog-nizes outstanding work by scientists,inventors and engineers, and wasalso awarded to Sidney Drell, profes-sor emeritus at the SLAC National

Accelerator LaboratoryIt was simply awesome,

Shapiro said of receiving her medalfrom President Barack Obama onFeb. 1.

Drell agreed, who said that learn-ing he would receive the award waslike a Christmas surprise.

I am a great admirer of Presi-dent Obama, he said. To get in achance for a few words was a great

thrill.Though the award recognizes

researchers for their overall contri-butions to their scientific field, thespecific contributions of each scien-tist are listed on their award cita-tions. Drells recognized his applica-tion of science to inform national poli-cies in security and intelligence as

well as his work as an advisor to thegovernment.

Drells work focuses on reducingthe risk of nuclear weapons deploy-ment, with his principal accomplish-ment being a set of steps devel-oped in conjunction with Hoover fel-low and former Secretary of StateGeorge Schultz to minimize thethreat of nuclear weapons interna-tionally, including giving more powerto nonproliferation treaties and cre-ating a more transparent and coop-erative means of nuclear weapon

verification.We can count the number of

warheads the Russians have on their

long range systems, and they cancount the number on ours, so youcan verify compliance, Drell said.Thats a technical challenge and apolitical cooperation challenge.

While Drell recognized the diffi-culties of eliminating nuclear

weapons on a global scale, heexpressed confidence that, with the

correct measures, it may eventuallybecome feasible.

The vision of zero [nuclearweapons] is a powerful one, but onehas to develop the technological andpolitical cooperation so the countriesof the world will agree that its agoal, Drell said.

Shapiro was given the award forher work with the genetic circuitryof bacterial cells, which her citationdescribes as a pioneering discov-ery. Shapiro collaborated withHarley McAdams, a professor ofdevelopmental biology at the Schoolof Medicine.

Shapiro and McAdams researchled to the discovery that bacterialcells work on a three-dimensionalgrid, which enables cells to trackspecific regulatory proteins to dis-tinct cell poles during cell division.

As specific regulatory proteins go todifferent cell poles, cell differentia-tion is initiated.

Shapiros other research inter-

ests include studying globallyemerging infectious disease, and shehas become a spokesperson for poli-cy makers on a local and nationallevel. Shapiro is also the founder of

Anacor Pharmaceuticals, which usesboron chemistry in the developmentof new antibiotics and antifungaldrugs.

Its a very exciting time in biolo-gy, because biology now is thephysics, chemistry and engineeringof the living world, she said. Its atime of just incredible revolutions inour understanding of how the living

world works. And of course, this hastremendous implications for control-

ling disease and understandingpathogens.At the ceremony, Obama praised

the award recipients for their contri-butions to scientific fields.

I am proud to honor theseinspiring American innovators, hesaid in prepared remarks. Theyrepresent the ingenuity and imagi-

nation that has long made this nationgreat, and they remind us of theenormous impact a few good ideascan have when these creative quali-ties are unleashed in an entrepre-neurial environment.

Other recipients were recognizedfor contributions in electrochem-

istry, marine science, extragalacticastronomy, supersymmetry mathe-matics, digital communications, lithi-um ion battery research, boranechemistry and interdisciplinaryefforts.

interest, other BOSP pro-grams have struggled toattract applicants. Five

BOSP spring quarter pro-grams Beijing, Florence,Kyoto, Madrid and Santiago are still accepting applica-tions, with interested stu-dents being asked to contactthe program as soon as possi-ble.

Saldivar said that the lowinterest level of interest inthose programs is not thatunusual and that BOSP reg-ularly accepts students afterthe application deadline.

On Monday, BOSP alsoannounced the return of theCommunity Health in Oaxa-ca Program for Spring/Sum-mer 2013. According to theBOSP website, this service-

learning program will pro-vide students with theopportunity of working insouthern Mexico, shadowinghealth care providers in clin-ics and hospitals and work-ing with other agencies tomeet community-identifiedneeds.

It gives us an opportuni-ty to try out a different peda-gogical method and a differ-ent duration, linking it with acourse on campus and follow-ing up with an overseas expe-rience, Saldivar said. Weare targeting groups of stu-dents on campus who would-nt be thinking that they

would be able to go abroadand spend time in an over-seas experience.

Saldivar added that,although the topic is commu-nity health in southern Mex-ico, the subject is being inter-preted broadly.

Its not just medicalissues, but broad social and

community issues that con-stitute well-being. We arelooking for students interest-ed in health care and medicalscience, but also in allaspects of social sciences andhumanities, Saldivar said.There is room for thinkingabout culture, language and

the arts as part of the con-struction of a community ingood health. We hope to lookat it that way over the nexttwo years.

Students can apply to theprogram on the BOSP web-site by Feb. 17.

As long as we continuehaving students interested inthe programs, we will workhard to make the space forstudents to be a part ofthem, Saldivar said. Thesummer seminars are a sign-post of the way we should bemoving in the future.

That for me is really sig-nificant, Martinez said. Itindicates to me an increasedattention to the issue of psy-chological well being, butmost importantly an intereston the part of students to

want to help and make a dif-ference.

Students on the board notonly indicated this interest tomake a difference in mentalhealth but also a commitmentin discussing these issues,such as the case with ChrisHerries 15 on the resourcesand communications subcom-mittee.

Student members of theboard framed their participa-tion as an opportunity notonly to make a difference inmental health but also to sim-ply prompt further discus-sion of the issues at hand.

I have a personal historyof mental illness and so doesmy family and thats sort ofmy personal motivation,said Herries, a member ofthe resources and communi-cations subcommittee. But

mostly Im just interested inthe health and happiness ofthe people around me.

Herries, who is a Dailystaffer, said the communica-tions subcommittee is cur-rently working on compilinga single directory ofresources that students cango to for all mental healthneeds.

Rising CAPS usageAs the University devotes

increased attention to issuessurrounding mental health,the number of students utiliz-ing the CAPS has risensteadily in recent years, from11,560 CAPS visits in 2008-2009 to 14,681 in 2011-12.

Albucher framed theincreased usage of the coun-seling service as partially a

vindication of Universityefforts to increase mentalhealth awareness and reduceassociated stigmas. He alsoattributed the increase toincreases in CAPS staffingand a more proactive mental-ity among CAPS staff.

Its hard to separate allof these different compo-nents out but we know that

were similar to being in thetop tier of schools, Albuchersaid.

Even with this progress,the board is still hard at workat finding solutions to thecontinuing stigma surround-ing mental health issues.

Despite the progressmade, however, Albucheracknowledged that there isstill work to be done on howthe University approachesissues of mental health.

I know theres beensome concern on campusabout how the university com-municates around thesesissues, Albucher said. TheUniversity tries to walk thistightrope around health pro-motion, transparency, legalrestriction and student priva-cy and is really struggling

with this in trying to find a wayto be more open and transpar-ent and at the same time pro-

tecting student rights.Albucher also acknowl-edged the changing nature ofmental health challenges aspotentially impeding the Uni-

versitys search for lastingsolutions.

Its not a static thing,Albucher said. Mental healthand well-being challenges aregoing to change over time.

For just over 35 minutes, Stanford was thebest mens basketball team in the Pac-12. But No.7 Arizona put the Cardinal in its place by closingout a 73-66 battle at a packed McKale MemorialCenter one of the toughest arenas to visit incollege basketball on Wednesday night.

Stanford led for the entire first half, and hadthe lead as late as the 4:44 mark in a back-and-forth second half. Arizona came out flat and the

Card capitalized early on the Wildcats complacen-

cy. In the end, though, Arizonas senior guardMark Lyons and senior forward Solomon Hill

were just too good.Lyons, who at times seemed like Arizonas only

viable offensive option, finished with a season high25 points while going 3-for-6 from the three pointline to secure the Wildcats lead in the end. Hill fin-ished with 23 points, while no other Wildcatrecorded more than eight points.

Their seniors really stepped up, said Stan-ford head coach Johnny Dawkins. Lyons and Hillmade a big difference in the end there.

Stanford did all it could to win, and afterabsorbing blow after blow from the Wildcats at itsown stadium, the Cardinal looked poised to pulloff its biggest upset in the Johnny Dawkins era.

At 10 a.m. Wednesday morning with just a fax to Stanfords football office new football signee Thomas Osers

path to Stanford was finally complete.In an academic sense, Oser seemed

destined to end up at Stanford for a longtime. For anyone with questions aboutOsers qualifications to be a Stanford stu-dent, look no further than the two schoolsOser has attended over the last six years.

Oser comes to Stanford from Harvard-Westlake, an elite prep school in SouthernCalifornia that is known for sending manyof its alumni to every incoming Stanfordclass. But dont let Osers time in sunnyLos Angeles fool you hes an Eastcoast kid whose New Jersey roots play alarge role in his identity.

I first encountered Thomas Oser fiveyears ago, during my sophomore year ofhigh school and Osers first year on ThePingry Schools middle-school football

team. I didnt know much about him, butevery time I wandered over to middle-school football practice from our high-school teams warm-ups, I noticed Oser asthe baby-faced, smiling kid with an infec-tious personality who was by far thebiggest on the field.

Over the next two years, Oser becamea familiar face. He kept growing cur-rently he is listed at 6-foot-5, 275 pounds and we started to see that Oser couldpotentially become a very good footballplayer.

This was the cause of a lot of local anx-iety. Pingry is a prestigious school aca-demically, but in sports besides soccer,many of the brightest middle-school starsleave for more promising athletic pro-grams. In no sport is that more evidentthan football; the middle school team is

consistently one of the best in its confer-ence, but the high school team has justtwo playoff appearances since 2006 this past fall and 2009, my senior year.

But Oser was ready to buck thattrend. He was focused on academics, thegood relationship with his class and achance to help put Pingry on the map.However, late in his eighth-grade year,Oser found out his family was moving toLos Angeles.

It was really strange, Oser said.We didnt find out we were moving until

April. I had to do the application processfor high school later than everyone else.

Oser chose Harvard-Westlake tomaintain the level of academics he hadgrown accustomed to. The level of compe-tition on the football field, however, was a

Stanfordhits thebeach

Recruiting analysis isan inherently hypo-critical business. In agood year, we writeabout all these highly

ranked players that will change ourteams future; in a bad year, we justcomplain that recruiting rankingsare worthless anyway.

Theres a whole lot of truth to

both perspectives. Yes, Stanfordsfifth-ranked class of 2012 hasalready made an impact, and yes, theCardinals 50th-ranked class of 2008drastically changed the complexionof the Stanford football program. (Isee you, Mr. Luck.)

This years class probably fallssomewhere between those twoextremes. Due to the return of sev-eral fifth-year seniors, only 12 play-ers will join the Cardinal this offsea-son compared with 22 a year ago which makes for the sixth-small-est class in the nation, according toRivals. Since the crop of incomingfreshmen is so small, the class wasranked as low as 64th in the nation(and no higher than 39th) on SigningDay.

For the very near future, the tinyclass is actually a great thing forStanford fans. Who wouldnt ratherhave a redshirt senior over a fresh-man during the 2013 season?

But when these incoming fresh-men are seniors in four years,theres going to be a whole lot ofpressure on the Cardinals nextgroup of recruits (which should bemuch larger than this one) to stepup. Its quite possible that Stanford

will lose three starting linemen, Bar-ry Sanders and Kevin Hogan onoffense alone during a single off-season, leaving behind just the 12seniors as Stanfords elder states-men. Junior leadership could very

well define the 2016 season.By then, college football will have

a playoff and the Pac-12 might not be12 any longer. I dont know aboutyou, but I cant quite think that farahead. So who in the class of 2013 ispoised to make an impact early intheir career, say, next season?

Of course, the temptation is tolook to the highest-rated recruits:quarterback Ryan Burns, linebackerPeter Kalambayi and wide receiverFrancis Owusu. Each earned fourstars from Rivals, which, for refer-ence, is better than current Stanfordthree-star starters Hogan and safetyJordan Richards.

Dont expect to see Burns in2013. It took the skillful Hogan ayear and a half to master enough ofStanfords complex playbook to earn

playing time and even Luck wasbenched as a freshman. Even thoughhe has a chance to eventually unseata fellow Virginian in Hogan as Stan-fords starter, Burns will probably bebehind older passers Josh Nunes,Dallas Lloyd and Evan Crower for2013 unless the coaching staffdecides to go back on what has

worked so well in the past.It might also take some time for

Kalambayi, who is rated even higherthan Burns, to break into the rota-tion. The last Stanford recruit atKalambayis position to play fre-quently as a freshman was James

Vaughters, who even as a sophomorelast year seemed to fade to the backof the Cardinals inside linebackerrotation at the end of 2012. Stan-

fords front seven is still stacked, andScout.com had speed listed one ofKalambayis areas for improvement a dangerous fault in a conferencethat boasts Oregon, Arizona, Wash-ington State and other spreadattacks.

Owusu, on the other hand, couldbe an impact player instantly. TheCardinal lost five of its top six pass-catchers in the offseason and hasntbeen solid at wide receiver since2010. Given Owusus pedigree hisbrother, Chris, starred as a Stanfordkick returner and receiver from2008-11 and got to play as a fresh-man Cardinal fans could see himon Saturdays pretty soon. And sinceStanford lost out on other big-namereceivers such as Devon Allen and

Jordan Cunningham this recruitingseason, the pressure will be onOwusu right away.

Meanwhile, three-star recruitsEric Cotton, Austin Hooper andGreg Taboada will be locked in anintriguing competition at tight end,

which is suddenly the least experi-enced position on Stanfords roster.

Its a tough position for a fresh-man to play in the Cardinals physi-cal offense the feat was accom-plished by neither Jim Dray, CobyFleener, Zach Ertz nor LevineToilolo. But the new tight ends fit

well in Stanfords system, much like

The Stanford womens tennis team makes itsfirst trek this weekend to southern California tocompete in a double-header against No. 49 Universi-ty of San Diego (1-1) and No. 33 Pepperdine (0-2).The No. 5 Cardinal (1-0) is fresh off its season open-er victory over UC-Davis last Thursday.

It was an easy win for Stanford, who droppedjust one singles match on court six. Senior captainNatalie Dillon lost a hard-fought battle to UC-DavisMelissa Kobayakawa in a tiebreaker 10-8 she ledthe tiebreak 8-3 before Kobayakawa rallied.

I had a lot of great moments, she said, but Ineed to focus on finishing the match out and convert-ing break points.

Though a clear leader on the roster, Dillon hasexperienced only one full year of competition in themain singles lineup.

Im working on improving my mental game and

competing consistently, said Dillon. Itll be anemphasis of mine this weekend as well as this seasonmore generally.

Along with Stacey Tan, Dillon is one of the onlytwo seniors on the squad. The pair are the only play-ers who were a part of the 2010 NCAA champi-onship team. As a captain and a walk-on, Dillonsexperience can help guide Stanford towards anothertitle.

I can serve as an example of what needs to bedone in order to win that title at the end of the year,Dillon said. Coming as a walk-on, my leadership ismore marked by hard work and effort than anythingelse.

The death of privacy

Iam a kitchen manager for ahouse on campus, and almostevery week I head over to Safe-

way to buy my residents variousfoodstuffs. This Safeway run is rela-tively minor, often just to purchasethe few products that Costco doesnot provide sometimes I will getBagel Bites, sometimes Triscuits,but every time I will pick up a fewboxes of tea. I have a Safeway ClubCard, which not only saves me mon-ey but also gives me a coupon after

almost every purchase. Almostinvariably, my coupons are for tea.

A couple months ago, I startedramping up my Google searches foranything related to skiing. As anavid skier, I check weather reports,

watch YouTube videos of profession-al skiers, and occasionally scan theonline marketplace for gear. Start-ing two weeks ago, I noticed that thenumber of ski-related advertise-ments I was getting skyrocketed.On websites completely unrelated toskiing the Daily website, forinstance I was being told aboutsome new ski boot or the amount ofsnow Mt. Bachelor has received thisseason.

It is no secret that data on usersis collected from social networking

profiles, online searches, creditcards or rewards cards, magazinesubscriptions and more. Often thisdata is used for profit, whether it isleveraged by the collector or sold toother companies. What these firmsdo with the data is generally keptsecret, although you can bet thatmany of the coupons you receive andadvertisements you see online canbe traced in some way back to yourconsumption history.

Many people expound on thebenefits of data collection; in mycase, I certainly would rather getcoupons for tea than dish soap, and I

would rather see ads for ski resortsthan tax services. Others try to rea-son away the costs of privacy loss bystating that if youve done nothing

wrong, you have nothing to hide.Yet we never know when we may

want to keep certain informationprivate. There is the case of howTarget knew a teenager in Minneso-ta was pregnant before her familydid; this teenager likely purchasedsome combination of supplements,lotions and other products thatpregnant women buy. As a result,Target sent her a coupon book filled

with coupons for diapers, formula,and other baby items. Her fatherhappened upon this coupon bookand, after questioning his daughter,learned she was pregnant.

In this case, not only was infor-mation that many would considerprivate discovered and exploited by

profit-seeking third parties, but itwas shared prematurely with thoseclose to the user. Who knows whenyou may be exposed for somethingthat, while not illegal or immoral,you would rather have kept private?

For another scenario, it is nothard to imagine a future where

insurance companies are armedwith knowledge of an individualsconsumption habits how manycigarettes or hamburgers he buys a

week, for instance and can lever-age this information to their advan-tage (your disadvantage).

Perhaps this is already occur-ring.

Arkansas-based Acxiom Corpo-ration has detailed profiles up toabout 1,500 data points forroughly two-thirds of the US popu-lation and analyzes over 50 trilliondata transactions per year. Acxiomthen processes this information,placing users into one of 70 con-sumer types, and sells its findings tointerested corporations. In 2012,

Acxiom had revenue of 1.2 billiondollars.

Are we powerless to respond tothis? For five dollars and a few

weeks waiting time, we can see ourpersonal files that Acxiom keeps instock; we can also opt out of theirdata pool entirely, although thisprocess requires providing them

with more information. Anotherincreasingly popular option is tomake purchases, especially sensitiveones, using cash.

Perhaps government can play arole. Although many people associ-ate Big Brother with a govern-ment entity, in this case the corpo-rate sector is the enemy and govern-ment could become our ally. Con-gress passed the Fair Credit Report

Act, for instance, which allowed con-sumers to view their credit reportsfor free. Perhaps they could requirecorporations like Acxiom to sharetheir information with consumersmore readily, or could regulate whatinformation can be collected and

acted upon. If the data collectionsector remains largely unregulatedand out of the public consciousness,there is no telling whats next.

THE AMERICAN ANATOMY

LAWRENCE|Engineer keeps KZSU runningdecoration soon this is Lawrences 50thyear with the station. During his collegeyears, Lawrence served as a member ofKZSUs engineering department and he has

worked as an engineer at the station eversince he graduated in 1967 with a major inelectrical engineering.

In his time at KZSU, Lawrence witnessedmany of the transitions that the station hasgone through over the years, from the annualchange in leadership, to the bureaucratichoops the station had to jump through to gettheir FM broadcasting license in 1964.Lawrence was even involved in the process ofsetting up the stations FM transmitter at theDish.

Despite his many years of service,Lawrences passion and curiosity for thetechnology at the station is as steadfast asever.

You would think that as the stationslongest [tenured] staffer, [Lawrence] wouldnot be as enthusiastic about radio equipmentas he is, said Sophia Vo 14, KZSUs general

manager. Thats not the case. Every time Irun into him, hes tinkering with new technol-ogy, dusting off our vinyl record players orchecking the emergency alert system.

Known around the station for alwaysbeing tapped into his smart phone, Lawrencetalked enthusiastically about his fascination

with technology, including GPS and computerchips.

Ive always been interested in buildingthings, Lawrence said. According to mymom, I helped her rewire a pair of desk lamps

when I was five.His love for technical things eventually led

him to obtaining his first radio license as asixth-grader and building a significantamount of radio equipment on his own in highschool.

So when I came to Stanford, electricalengineering was the obvious major, he said.

Lawrence valued the hands-on experienceof his undergraduate education as an electri-

cal engineering major.I liked the practical side of EE a lot, morethan the theoretical side of it, he said. Istruggled with some of the theory classes, butI aced the labs.

While some of his classmates had nevergotten their hands on a soldering iron before,Lawrence was already adept at registeringpractical details and working with technicalequipment. He joined KZSU as a freshman

volunteer, deciding that although he wasinvolved in other student clubs, including the

Amateur Radio Club he preferred activelybuilding things to discussing them.

My job at KZSU was perfect for that, hesaid. I could spend all of my time buildingradio equipment.

Among his other duties at KZSU, Markhelps repair equipment ranging from signalgenerators to distortion analyzers, replaces

delicate needles on turntables and buildsmost of the equipment in the stations threestudios.

His duties, however, extend far beyondengineering. When, in the middle of his inter-

view, a DJ manning Studio A shouted acrossthe station: Mark, theres a burning smell,Lawrence paused the session and rushed to

where he was needed.To do this job, electronic knowledge is

less important than general handymanskills, he said after the crisis was averted. Iinstall new stuff and fix old stuff.

Still, working with students is Lawrencesfavorite aspect of the job. He has workedalongside students that have gone ontoimpressive careers in the broadcast industry,including former news director Pete Williams

74, an NBC News correspondent, and DavidFlemming 98 98, an announcer for the SanFrancisco Giants.

According to Lawrence, however, the age

difference between him and the largely stu-dent staff can sometimes be challenging, par-ticularly when leadership of the stationchanges every year.

The general manager, who is a student, isselected by the advisory board and serves fora year, he said. Technically, I call this personmy boss, although they are an undergradabout 20 years old, and Ive been workinghere for 50 years.

Adam Pearson 12, last years generalmanager, echoed this sentiment.

When someone whos the age of yourgrandparent is reporting to you, it is a chal-lenging dynamic and conflict, he said.

Both agreed, however, that a good work-ing relationship was not hard to establish dueto a mutual passion for college radio.

Mark is engrained in the station culture,as hes been there for so long, Pearson said.

Moreover, not many students who work atKZSU are interested in the technical side ofthe radio.

Do you call the electrical company tothank them that the lights are on? Lawrencesaid. You only think about your electricalcompany when something is not working.

Nevertheless, Lawrence is thankful forthe support and appreciation he has receivedfrom Pearson, Vo and many of the other staffmembers, whom he considers dear friends.Most importantly, however, Lawrence is mostgrateful for the opportunity to tinker withtechnology.

I dont do this job for love, he said. I doit because I like to build things.

NEWS BRIEF

Stanford to open

outpatient cancer center in

San Jose

Stanford Hospitals & Clinics announcedplans last week to build a new outpatient can-cer center in San Jose. The center, which willbe completed in 2014, will be Stanford health-care systems most comprehensive facilityoutpatient center other than of Palo AltosStanford Hospital & Clinics and RedwoodCitys Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center,according to a release from the Stanford Hos-pital.

As an oncologist, I am excited about theopportunity to significantly expand patientaccess to Stanfords cancer care and our nation-ally recognized quality programs, Douglas W.Blayney 72, medical director of the StanfordCancer Center, said in a press release.

The new center will occupy an existing four-story, 70,000 square foot building at the inter-section of State Route 85 and Los Gatos Boule-

vard. According to the press release, the facili-

ty will be staffed by a combination of physiciansfrom Stanford and the local community.Patients will also benefit from the centersStanford affiliation in other ways includingaccess to clinical trials, according to the state-ment.

Were extremely pleased to be able to pro-vide residents of the South Bay region withconvenient access to Stanfords leading edge,patient-centered care, said President of Stan-ford Hospitals Amir Dan Rubin in the pressrelease. With more than 300 ongoing clinicaltrials in cancer and pioneering work underwayin genomics to develop targeted therapies,Stanford is helping lead the fight against thischallenging disease.

We really crossed all the ts anddotted all the is this time, and goteveryone on board, Shaw said. Its atestament to that that we got unani-mous votes from both the associations.

Shaw cited the GSCs collabora-tion with the Senate and the Board of

Judicial Affairs (BJA) to addressissues with the original version of the

ARP as other positive aspects of theprocess.

Were glad that it was a conscien-

tious, successful process, Shaw said.Over the whole year, people put intremendous time and effort in the

ASSU, GSC and BJA. Everyone hasdone their best to make this a success-ful operation.

According to Shaw, the Faculty Sen-ate should approve the ARP with little

controversy.Weve been in communication with

the Senate, and we know theyll haveit on the agenda this spring, Shawsaid. Were pretty sure were all on

the same page, and we know weveaddressed many of the concerns thatStanford community members had. Ifully expect the Faculty Senate topass it.

big jump.Back at Pingry, Oser was

the biggest player on thefield. As a freshman at Har-

vard-Westlake, he wasnt solucky.

I got my butt kicked thefirst week and all year, Osersaid. The game was muchfaster than I was used to.

But Oser wasnt as farover his head as one mightexpect. He became one ofthree players in his grade tomake varsity, earning hisfirst playing time midwaythrough the season. By thetime his sophomore yearrolled around, Oser felt thathe had the experience tomake a big jump.

As it turned out, Oserscoaches agreed. Though he

was just a sophomore, theystarted him at left tackle, theoffensive lines most promi-

nent position.After a successful cam-

paign, Oser came into hisjunior year expecting to con-tinue in his starting role onthe left side of the line. How-ever, with Harvard-West-lakes center out with aninjury, Osers coach askedhim to try taking a fewsnaps. Soon Oser moved tocenter, and hasnt left since.

At first, Oser was a bitdisappointed to make themove. Historically, the lefttackle position is the wherethe most dominant player onthe line plays. In the NFL,

protecting the right-handedquarterbacks blind side is a

valued service. On average,starting left tackles are thesecond-highest paid playersbehind starting quarter-backs.

But once Oser startedgetting into the action atcenter, everything changed.Oser grew to love the close-combat situations on the

interior of the offensive line.Im right in the thick of it,Oser said.

Oser would find out verysoon that college coachesliked the move as much as hedid. One day during his jun-ior year, Oser got a surprise

visit from Stanford offensiveline coach Mike Bloomgren recently named the Car-dinals offensive coordinator who invited him to theteams summer prospectcamp.

I went up there andplayed my butt off, Osersaid of the camp, and headcoach David Shaw was soimpressed with Osers play

that he offered Oser a schol-arship. At the end of arecruiting process that sawOregon and Vanderbilt joinStanford as the favorites,Oser decided to acceptShaws offer and join thedefending Rose Bowl cham-pions for 2013.

Stanford was always aprospect of mine. Its aschool Ive been interestedin since even before footballbecame a reality, Oser said.Coming out of Pingry andcoming out of Harvard-

Westlake, youre looking togo to one of the top schools

academically.With starter Sam

Schwartzsteins eligibilityending after last season,Stanfords center spot isopen to competition. As atrue freshman Oser is cer-tainly a long shot, but hemight be closer than manythink.

Many in the recruitingbusiness have enjoyed refer-

ring to Oser as a true-cen-ter. Oser was in a rare posi-tion as a high-school center;most top offensive-linerecruits are forced to playtackle in high-school due to alarge talent gap, but Oserspent two years with anestimated 700 shotgun snaps in that center spot. Thatexperience could give Oser ahuge step up in his transitionto the college game.

Shaw certainly liked see-ing his success as a highschool center. At his pressconference announcingStanford footballs signingclass yesterday, Shaw sungpraise of Oser.

Its a unique skill to beable to put the ball betweenyour legs and be able toexplode out and block some-body thats in front of you,he said.

And now, almost fouryears after Osers move toCalifornia robbed me of achance to be his teammatefor a year, I have the oppor-tunity to cover his first sea-son as a member of Stanfordfootball. Im just glad hedoesnt get to block me.

last years defensive back recruits did.Though only one true freshman, Alex Carter,started in Stanfords resurgent 2012 second-ary, two others, Drew Madhu and Zach Hoff-pauir, played in all 14 games as three-starrecruits, no less. Maybe Cotton, Hooper andTaboada will get a chance of their own in 2013.

Overall, a sense of cautious optimism per-

meates most analysis of this class. Afteryears of recruiting so well, Stanfords coach-ing staff has earned a lot of trust that it willbring in players that fit its system and willstar on Saturdays, even if not on scoutingreports.

And besides, we all know recruiting rank-ings suck anyways.

points and 10 rebounds, fourStanford players finished indouble digits scoring. Powelland junior forward JoshHuestis (10 points, 10rebounds) both finished with

double-doubles. Powellrecorded 18 of his points inthe second half alone, keep-ing a win within Stanfordsgrasp late in the game.

Even though tonightwas a loss, we came out andshowed we can hang withanyone in the country,Huestis said. We let thingsdown in the last couple ofminutes and thats where welost it.

Sophomore point guardAaron Bright, who, for muchof the game seemed to be theonly response to Lyons, hadone of his most efficientshooting nights to date, scor-ing 16 points on 6-11 from

the floor and 4-7 from down-town. Hitting a pair of threes

to start the game, Brighthelped Stanford go on a 10-0run early on.

Stanford knew that itsonly chance of scoringagainst a tight wildcatdefense was to hit early andoften from outside. Unfortu-nately, the Card struggledfor the rest of the first halffinishing 8-27.

With three and a half

minutes left in the game,Lyons slipped behind a giddyStanford defense for a layupto put Arizona up 58-54. Thebasket marked a 9-0 Wildcatrun, and the crowd was fullybehind the Pac-12s firstplace team as Arizonastormed down both ends ofthe court determined toavoid an upset.

On the next possession,Bright knocked down a threefrom the corner, and Stan-ford was once again within apoint. With a silenced arena,the upset seemed as likely asever.

Then sophomore guardChasson Randle was called

for an offensive foul, Hillmade a jumper to put Ari-

zona up 6, and the Cardinalnever closed that final gap,losing its seventh straightgame to the Wildcats.

I think we played welloffensively tonight, but thelack of defense was whatkilled us. It doesnt matterhow well you play on offenseif you have defensive lapsesagainst a high-scoringteam, Powell said. In the

beginning of the game, wewere getting stops. We wereexecuting on offense and we

were on point on defense. Inthe second half, we didntmake out as well, and when-ever you have defensivelapses like that things gosouth.

The Card now looks toredeem itself at ArizonaState 4 p.m. Saturday. TheSun Devils are currentlyranked third in the Pac-12,

while Stanford sits at sev-enth. A win over ArizonaState could help the Cardrelocate its path to theNCAA tournament.

toughness, Shaw said. We made it a point inthis class to find tight ends and linebackers

who can physically do what we need, andwere excited about the guys we found.

As expected, with a small graduating sen-ior class and fewer scholarships available tooffer, this years signees did not top the his-toric 2012 recruiting class that included three

five-star prospects and three of the top eightoffensive line prospects in the nation.Despite the relatively small number of

signees, the quality of the newest additions tothe Cardinal family shouldnt be overlooked.Ten of the 12 players were ranked in thenations top 25 at their positions by recruitingservices, nine played in an All-America gameand five were named PrepStar All-Ameri-cans.

The 2013 Stanford class was ranked 16thin the nation based on average player rating nine signees were rated four stars or high-er and two were tabbed as five stars by atleast one recruiting service. Five of thesignees were also ESPN 300 recruits whilethree were members of the Scout 300 andRivals 250.

In keeping with an annual trend, the pro-gram once again hauled in big, physically

imposing athletes. Tailor-made for the Cardi-nals smashmouth running game and aggres-sive, physical style of play on defense, thenewly inked players average 6-foot-4 and 235pounds.

NNNAs expected, the Cardinals latest recruit-

ing plan focused on equipping a KevinHogan-led offense with a more diverse set of

weapons. Seven signees three tight ends,two offensive linemen, one wide receiver andone quarterback play on offense.

Stanford snagged a dynamic quarterback-wide receiver duo for the near future with thesignings of quarterback Ryan Burns (Lees-burg, Va./Stone Bridge High School) and

wideout Francis Owusu (Oxnard, Calif./OaksChristian School).

I chose Stanford because its the bestschool in the country, Burns said. It has top

notch athletics and academics. The weather isperfect, and the people are even better.

Listed as the third best pro-style quarter-back by PrepStar, Burns led his team to a 51-6 record and two high school state champi-onship runner-up finishes. This past season,the PrepStar All-American tossed for aschool-record 2,530 yards (21.1 yards percompletion) and 28 touchdowns. Showing hisdual-threat capabilities, Burns also rushedfor 222 yards and touchdowns in his senioryear.

Brother of former Stanford wide receiverChris Owusu, who was one of Andrew Lucksfavorite targets on the outside, four-starrecruit Francis Owusu stands at 6-foot-3 andis one of the top 20 wide receivers in the 2013class, as ranked by both PrepStar and Rivals.Most notable among prospects who did notsign with the Cardinal is four-star widereceiver Jordan Cunningham (Fort Laud-erdale, Fl./University School of Nova South),

who turned down Stanfords offer andinstead opted to sign with Vanderbilt.

This season, Francis Owusu separatedhimself from just about any receiver on the

West Coast, Shaw said.But the signing of three new tight ends

was arguably the Cardinals most importantgrab of the day. Austin Hooper (San Ramon,Calif./De La Salle HS), Greg Taboada(Atlanta, Ga./Marist HS) and Eric Cotton(Nampa, Idaho/Columbia HS) look to fill ahuge void left by the departures of unani-mous All-American tight end Zach Ertz andfour-year veteran Levine Toilolo.

Taboada, captain of the top high schoolteam in the nation, played on both sides of theball, while Hooper and Cottons athleticism

could potentially allow them to be utilized inother positions should Shaw choose to exper-iment during training camp. Shaw stated thathe didnt see a tight end in the nation that

was as good of a route runner in and out ofthe crouch as Cotton.

People have asked me the last few years,Where do you find those tight ends? Shawsaid. We believe that we have three guys inthis class who can be as productive in the run-ning game and passing game as Coby Fleen-er, Zach Ertz and Levine Toilolo were for us.

After landing highly touted offensive line-men Andrus Peat, Joshua Garnett and KyleMurphy last year, the Cardinal has plenty ofdepth in the trenches going into the 2013-14campaign. Nonetheless, Stanford bolsteredits offensive line even further by inking David

Bright (Yorba Linda, Calif./Mater Dei HS)and Thomas Oser (Los Angeles, Calif./Har-

vard-Westlake School).Both Bright and Oser drew the attention

of the Cardinal coaching staff during Stan-fords summer football camp, and their versa-tility will only add to the development of oneof the nations top units up front. Bright, a

PrepStar All-American, has played bothtackle and guard, while Oser is the 11th cen-ter in the nation and can also switch to guard.

Offensively, we believe that weve addedexciting firepower, Shaw said. Up front, wehave added two physical, aggressive and ver-satile offensive linemen who fit our style andtemperament of play.

NNNWith nine of the 11 starting defenders on

the Rose Bowl team returning, the Cardinalmanaged to haul in four new linebackers and

a signee who plays both cornerback andwide receiver.

A consensus national top-10 linebacker,Peter Kalambayi (Matthews, N.C./ButlerHS) was a USA Today first-team All-Ameri-ca selection and a finalist for the Butkus

Award, which is given annually to the toplinebacker at the high school, collegiate and

professional levels.Joining him will be Mike Tyler

(Brecksville, Ohio/Brecksville-BroadviewHeights HS), an outside linebacker whoracked up 18 sacks this past season. The Car-dinal already boasts a deep linebacker corps,but the additions of Kalambayi and Tylershould help out a squad that will be withoutstar outside linebacker Chase Thomas nextyear.

Defensively, with the depth of young tal-ent in the defensive backfield and the return-ing strength of our defensive line, weveadded four linebackers in this class who canrun and hit and play the aggressive style ofdefense for which Stanford has come to beknown, Shaw commented. Each of theselinebackers has unique abilities in pass rushand in coverage, and they will add to thestrength and depth of our front seven.

Four-star recruits Kevin Palma (Pixley,Calif./Mission Oak HS) and Sean Barton(North Salt Lake, Utah/Woods Corss HS)round out the inside linebacker group. Palma,listed as the 10th best middle linebacker inthe country, tallied 19 tackles for loss in hissenior campaign and broke a school-recordby recording eight of them in a single game.

Amassing 200 tackles and 36 tackles for lossover the course of his high school career, Bar-ton will enroll at Stanford in 2015 after hisLDS church mission in Africa.

[Coach Shaw] cares about the players,Barton said. He always has your best inten-tions at heart, and he commands the team

without having to scream constantly.Taijuan Thomas (Monroe, La./Ouachita

Parish HS) was an explosive playmaker atboth the wide receiver and cornerback posi-tions in high school. Having a body build sim-ilar to Drew Terrells, Thomas possesses thetriple-threat label as a possible kickoff andpunt returner.

Taijuan Thomas is one of those explosiveathletes who could help us on offense,defense and special teams, Shaw said. Wecant wait for his playmaking ability to impactour team.

NNNOn New Years Day, an endless rain of car-

dinal and white confetti fell onto the field atthe Rose Bowl Stadium as 40,000 Cardinalfans applauded Stanfords first Rose Bowl

win in over four decades. Players celebrated,Shaw gave a speech and MVPs were named.

Half an hour later, the postgame confer-ence was held in a much more subdued set-ting. Shaw talked about his players resolvethat led them to the Rose Bowl victory and

then spoke his last words of the historic 2012-2013 season.We have a lot of guys coming back on

both sides of the ball, all three phases, andwell hold ourselves to a higher standard, hesaid. But our standard is not just talkingabout winning games. Our standard is how

we work, how we come together, how wepractice and the attitude that we build before

we ever play a football game. And that startsin a few weeks.

A few weeks have passed since then andwith 12 new players added to its roster, Stan-fords pursuit of a national title has begun inearnest.

Football head coach David Shaw was able to praise his 2013 recruiting class for the firsttime on Wednesday after 12 players officially signed with the Cardinal. The class is oneof the smallest in the nation but consists of athletes that fit Stanfords physical system well.

Softballs Jenna Rich named espnWPreseason All-American

Senior shortstop Jenna Rich was namedto espnWs All-American Second Team onthe eve of Stanfords season debut at theKajikawa Classic today. A three-time All-Pac-12 selection and two-time All-WestRegion First Team honoree, Rich led the

Card in several offensive categories whileplaying second base last season.Her 66 RBI tied a Stanford single-season

record and led the Pac-12 and ranked 12thnationally. And her career numbers continue

to climb up the programs all-time lists. She iscurrently fourth in slugging percentage(.595), fifth in home runs and RBI (33 and162, respectively), seventh in batting average(.332) and 10th in runs scored (123).

The Cardinal, ranked No. 21 in the pre-season, will have little time to settle in as itopens the 2013 seas on again st Br adleyfrom Tempe, Ariz. today at 3 p.m.PST. Stanford will meet No. 2 Oklahoma

and the reigning Collegiate Player of theYear in pitcher Keilani Ricketts tomorrowmorning.

SPORTS BRIEF

work ethic this weekend whenthey face USD and Pepper-dine. Stanford did not com-pete against USD last year,but easily topped Pepperdine

with a 5-2 victory last Febru-

ary.The top of the lineup shouldconsist of junior Nicole Gibbson court one, followed byfreshman and No. 2 KristaHardebeck on court two, and

junior Kristie Ahn on courtthree. Sophomore and No. 55Ellen Tsay, Tan and Dillon willrepresent the Cardinal oncourts four, five, and six.

Doubles will be played withGibbs and Ahn competing oncourt one, followed by Tan andTsay on court two and Dillonand Hardebeck on court three.

Krista is a fantastic base-line player with powerful

shots, Dillon explained. Thisgives me the opportunity toclose in at the net, so together

we make a pretty explosiveteam.

Practice this week hasespecially concentrated ondoubles play. Dillon explainedthat, unlike the fall where thefocus was to fine-tune, thespring emphasis is match play.

So far practice has been

characterized by a lot of drillsthat simulate competition,she said. Its more tailoredand focused to our individualneeds as well.

The Dillon/Hardebeck duois the only senior/freshmanpairing. When asked whatadvice Dillon would give toHardebeck and freshmanLindsey Kostas, Dillon insteadpraised the storied Stanfordprogram.

Playing on the Stanfordtennis team is a real honor andthere is a lot of history andlegacy that comes with it, shesaid. One component is

enjoying the experience butanother is putting everythingyou have into it because thats

when you get the biggestreturns.

This weekend will markStanfords second opportunityplaying together as a team.Dillon described how creatingan identity is something thegroup has been discussingrecently.

We are known to be reallybig hitters, said Dilllon butwe also want to be known asplayers that grind on thecourt, all day and all night. Weare taking that step in termsof fitness and practice.

The Cardinal will first takeon USD in San Diego 12 p.m.Friday at the Hogan TennisCenter. The team will thentravel up to Malibu on Satur-day to face Pepperdine atRalphs-Straus Tennis Centerat 1 p.m.
