Cardinal plays host to
Huskies in a must-win game
By JACK SALISBURY
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
It may only be September, but
Stanford plays a game that will be
critical in defining the rest of its
season when No. 24 Washington
comes to town Saturday night.
The Cardinal (2-1, 1-0 Pac-10)
is looking to reach its first bowl
game since 2001, and a win this
weekend would go a long way in
taking the team there. Winning
home games is always crucial, es-
pecially against conference teams
of comparable caliber, like the
Huskies.
“The importance of the stretch
we’re going into right now is
huge,” said head coach Jim Har-
baugh. “It’s going to be a tough
game like it will be the following
week,the week after that and pret-
ty much every game the rest of the
schedule. It’s important for us to
take one game at a time and just
prepare to put our players and our
football team in the best possible
position.”
The game is just as important
for the Huskies (2-1, 1-0 Pac-10),
who are looking to carry the mo-
BATTLE AT THE
BIG SPIKE
By CLAUDIA PRECIADO
STAFF WRITER
The Stanford women’s volleyball team,
following a solid performance in the presea-
son, now enters Pac-10 play with its sights set
on another trip to the national champi-
onships.
No. 10 Stanford jumps out of the presea-
son with a 7-3 record to face rival No.12 Cali-
fornia in the Big Spike. Cal comes out of pre-
season with a similar 7-3 record, providing an
even face-off for the Pac-10 season’s crucial
first match.
“The Pac-10 is starting and every match
matters,” said head coach John Dunning.
“And usually that’s true, but this year, every-
one can beat everyone in the Pac-10.”
The Cardinal enters the match with losses
against Notre Dame (3-0), Florida (3-2) and
Hawai’i (3-0), while California comes in with
losses against UC-Irvine (3-2), Texas (3-1)
and Saint Louis (3-0).
While both teams match up in losses, the
two have four past matches in common: San
Jose State, San Francisco, Saint Mary’s and
Hawai’i.
Though Cal seemingly has an edge over
Stanford in terms of shared opponents, the
Card’s defeats all come from top-ranked
teams, while middle-ranked teams have top-
pled the Bears. Because each volleyball pro-
gram has the ability to beat the top teams this
year, the Pac-10 will again be a tight race to
the finish.
“Everyone is good now — there are lots of
teams that can be the best team and that can
beat the best teams on a daily basis.That just
means that every match is going to be excit-
ing,” Dunning said. “I hope a lot of people
come to watch this team and say, ‘Yeah
they’re pretty good. Or no, they’re not good
enough yet, but we’re going to see a great
match and next week they’ll be even better.’”
Among the Pac-10, it seems that Stanford
has fallen behind in the rankings. With Ari-
zona, Washington State, Oregon and Wash-
ington boasting undefeated seasons thus far,
the Card needs to make a serious run in order
to match last season’s success. UCLA, Ore-
gon State, Cal and Stanford are all sitting at
the bottom of the Pac-10 with three losses
apiece.
Experienced players senior Janet Okog-
baa and juniors Cassidy Lichtman, Alix
Klineman and Gabi Ailes lead the otherwise
young Cardinal team. Coming off of a week-
end when Klineman reached her 1,000th kill,

The administration’s decision to cancel this year’s Full
Moon on the Quad was met with mixed reactions by students
this week.
The tradition involving seniors kissing freshmen under the
first full moon of the quarter was officially cancelled Tuesday
evening after campus health officials weighed in on the event
and deemed it too great a risk to students’ health,especially as
the spread of swine flu continues.
According to Vice Provost for Student Affairs Greg
Boardman, the decision to cancel one of Stanford’s best-
known traditions came about earlier in the week.
“The spread of H1N1 has been a concern for several
months now,”Boardman said in an email to The Daily.“How-
ever, only this week did I ask for a recommendation.”
Boardman was not certain if the event had ever been
called off in previous years.He also said there are plans for the
sophomore class, as well as other dorms, to host substitute
events and residential-based programming sometime during
fall quarter. The sophomore class traditionally hosts Full
Moon and is now trying to plan an alternative campus-wide
event.
“We were very disheartened and very sad, since we’ve
been planning since last spring,” said sophomore Class Presi-
dent Isabelle Wijangco ‘12.
Wijangco explained that if the event were to occur, extra
precautions involving Peer Health Educators (PHEs) and
Vaden would have been taken, “but swine flu is a very real
issue,and the risk is just too big considering what the event en-
tails.”
“I am primarily concerned with the health and well-being
of our students,” Boardman said. “This was not a decision I
made lightly.”
While some students expressed disappointment at the de-
cision, many also seemed to understand the administration’s
rationale.
“[Full Moon] made Stanford seem less uptight,” said
Tiffany Li ‘13.“We’re bright-eyed Stanford freshmen,we look

Two months after a disgruntled
ex-employee destroyed an estimat-
ed $500,000 in protein samples at
SLAC
National
Accelerator
Laboratory, staff there say security
measures are under review but hir-
ing practices will remain the same.
Silvya Oommachen, 32, a former
research associate at the Joint
Center for Structural Genomics at
SLAC, was arrested and charged in
July with willful injury and depre-
dation of U.S. government property
after she allegedly snuck into a
SLAC laboratory and destroyed
more than 4,000 protein samples.
She had been fired earlier that
month after failing to show up to
work.
Oommachen told the FBI she
destroyed the samples to rid herself
of “bad karma” and left obscene
notes signed by her “alter ego” in
the lab where the protein was
stored.
SLAC spokesman Rob Brown
called the July 18 vandalism an
issue of physical security rather
than a personnel issue.
“Probably from the start, our
biggest concern has been a security
one rather than processes related to
human resources,” Brown said
Thursday. “Look . . . we generally
don’t have these kinds of issues.
We’ve never had them before.”
Brown
said SLAC hiring
processes remain essentially the
same as before the vandalism: “to
check people’s references and do
the normal best practices.”
He would not discuss, however,
what measures have been taken to
improve physical security on SLAC
grounds.
Before
she
was
fired,
Oommachen had been screening
proteins as part of the center’s
Structure Determination Core
project. On the evening of July 18,
she allegedly slipped, unnoticed,
into the Stanford Synchrotron
Radiation Lightsource facilities at
SLAC and removed the research
samples from their cold storage
facilities, allowing them to thaw and
ultimately be destroyed.
FBI officials later noted in a
report that the building housing the
genomic center was never locked.
Brown stated that after after the
vandalism,
security procedures
would be reviewed.
“The nature of science at SLAC
and at Stanford is really collabora-
tion,” Brown said. “So, [tight securi-
ty] gets a little discouraging in that
aspect. It’s against the spirit of what
we’re trying to do here as a
research institution.”
Meanwhile,
Oommachen’s
whereabouts have been unclear
since July 28, when she was
released on a $50,000 unsecured
bond and told to report to the U.S.
District Court in San Francisco
daily. A clerk said she has not
appeared
since
then,
and
Oomachen is now considered a
fugitive.
Calls to the FBI’s San Francisco
office went unreturned.

A total of no more than 30 units
with at least six courses in the School
of Education now allows a student to
obtain a minor in education, a school
that does not offer an undergraduate
major.
Education Prof. Jennifer Wolf
said those who hope to become
teachers should major in the areas in
which they plan to teach. However,
she added, having an education
minor would go a long way in
preparing students for postgraduate
studies and, eventually, the teaching
profession.
“We want undergraduates to be
learning completely and deeply in
the content area that they will even-
tually teach,” Wolf said, “and educa-
tional research has shown that bring-
ing strong content knowledge to a
graduate study of education is bene-
ficial for teaching and learning.”
Despite a year of weighty budget
cuts, school officials said the new
minor was the most effective and
inexpensive way to prepare under-
graduates for the field. To fund the
program, the University is only pay-
ing for one additional person, who
serves as a part-time director.
Wolf said the additional cost was
well worth it. “We get a lot of return
on that. We’re one of the strongest
education schools in the world, and it
seems unfortunate that undergradu-
ates don’t have access to that,” she
said. “We want to encourage under-
graduate students to think about
education.”
Prospects for the new minor pro-
gram appear promising. Already,
there are at least 10 students among
the senior class who are pursuing the
minor, which was initiated just this
fall. Fourteen students are already
enrolled in Education 101, the one
required course for the minor.
Students say the minor program
is a step forward. “The path into the
field of education is interdisciplinary
in nature, but at Stanford there has-
n’t been any track for that,” said
Lauren Ponti ‘10.“So, the availability
of this minor is a nice thing for peo-
ple interested in the field of educa-
tion to hold on to.
“Some of my friends . . . com-
plained a lot about how there’s not a
major in education,” she added. “So,
for a lot of us, it’s exciting that there’s
now something to show for all the
work we have put into learning
about education.”
Some of the interest in this bur-
geoning program stems from the fact
that there are lucrative opportunities
associated with pursuing a graduate
degree in education. Ponti, for exam-
ple, is interested in education profit
management and education policy.
However, Wolf explained, there
are many career options for students
with an education degree, such as
teaching, administration and com-
munication. “[An education degree]
prepares you for life in a community
and life as a citizen,” she said.

Break-in forces security review
Stanford joins Consortium of Universities on Global Health
PARTNERS IN HEALTH
By ZOE RICHARDS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Stanford will be joining forces with other
top universities in an effort to solve pressing
problems of global health.
The universities include Boston University,
Duke, Emory, Johns Hopkins, McGill, the
University of California and the University of
Washington. In the agreement, published
Sept. 14, Stanford and the other universities
agreed to work together in an effort to “bring
the unique resources of the university to bear
on problems that require sustained, integrat-
ed,
interdisciplinary and
collaborative
approaches.” The statement is associated with
the Consortium of Universities on Global
Health.
Dr. Michele Barry, new senior associate dean at
the School of Medicine, who helped draft the
statement, said the impetus came from a con-
cern with practical engagement. “We want the
University to become part of the community of
global health, and not an ivory tower,” she said.
Barry, who was recruited four months ago
after 25 years at Yale, was hired by the School
of Medicine to fill an entirely new position
designed to address just how Stanford can be a
part of the global health movement. Her work
will have a particular emphasis on the compo-
nents of education, research and service.
The University’s unique involvement in the
consortium is complemented by its past initia-
tives in the area of global health innovation.
Stanford-India Biodesign, an educational pro-
gram developed at Stanford, was selected by
the consortium as one of the best examples of
collaborative and innovative partnership in
global health.
By partnering to build medical schools in
developing nations and re-opening clinics, the
consortium hopes to open the channels for
cross-cultural global health dialogue, curb
“brain-drain” and inspire innovations in
the global health sector.
Stanford’s future involvement
with the group will be “cross-discipli-
nary,” if all goes as planned. After set-
tling into her new post, Barry hopes to
engage with other departments in
innovative ways — from financing
health across the world to helping min-
istries of health in other countries. She
has already met with political scientists
at the Freeman Spogli Institute to
discuss health policy and
prepare for the
Global Health
Consortium in
May.
The University’s promise to answer to the
challenges of global health through the consor-
tium was met with approval by many health-
concerned student groups across campus.
Patricia Arty ‘10, public relations executive for
Dance Marathon, was enthusiastic about the
University’s fresh commitment to the issue.
“This move shows that the Stanford com-
munity sees past a country’s border as it sup-
ports the development of global health curricu-
la and research,” Arty said.
Sabrina Tom MED ‘11, former president of
the Organization of International Health, was
also pleased with the decision. “Breakthroughs
in medicine aren’t just about discovering new
biochemical therapies,” she said. “[Stanford
School of Medicine’s] commitment toward a
broader definition of being a leader in medical
discovery and innovation is both very encour-
aging and long overdue.”

This summer, a former employee managed to sneak into a SLAC labora-
tory and cause $500,000 worth of damage. SLAC spokesman Rob Brown
said that, because of the break-in, the facility will be reviewing its “phys-
ical security” issues. Hiring practices will remain the same.
forward to all Stanford traditions, but I
don’t think we’re too devastated,
because we haven’t seen it before.”
For Ed Schmerling ‘10, a senior, the
news was “reasonably disappointing.”
“I was definitely planning on show-
ing up and not kissing a lot of fresh-
man,because I’m a staff member obvi-
ously, but definitely ogling and leering
at freshman girls,” he joked.
While Boardman said he had heard
mostly positive reactions, emails were
sent to several lists joking about the
threat of germs being spread more eas-
ily through a handshake than through
a kiss.Others fear this is the first step in
removing Full Moon from Stanford’s
calendar for good.
“This is a decades-long tradition,
and it’s one that I’ve certainly taken
part in the last three years,” said Chris
Hadley ‘10. “And it also sucks that
they’re taking away something that is a
major draw of Stanford, the college of
crazy traditions.These frosh have been
reading about Full Moon for potential-
ly months now, only for it to be stolen
away from them.”
Boardman said there are currently
no plans to cancel Full Moon in future
years.
“I think it is very reasonable; swine
flu is some big epidemic that is hitting
our age group hardest,”
said
Schmerling.“I’m not sure if it’s too dif-
ferent from the mono scare that hap-
pens every year and the administration
is always looking for a good excuse to
shut the whole thing down. But I sup-
port them in their decision to shut it
down this year, even though it’s my
senior year.”
In an email to the sophomore class
announcing the cancellation, sopho-
more class presidents asked for recom-
mendations for other possible events
to be held in place of Full Moon. The
class will hold office hours Friday from
3 to 5 p.m. in Old Union to gather stu-
dent input about other events.
“People have been very supportive
— they totally understand where the
University is coming from,” Wijangco
said. “While we’re really disappointed
that this has happened, it’s a great
opportunity to take what’s happened
and make a new event.”

“How it is written”
The Farm, global
responsibility and your
education
In his 2009 Commencement speech,
Supreme Court Justice Anthony
Kennedy ‘58 focused on the responsibil-
ities of a Stanford education. He called
upon graduates to spread the rule of law
around the world. In his address, Kennedy
urged students to devote their careers to
promoting justice, that “with our own free-
dom comes the duty to make the case for
others.”
Some thought the speech was rather
lackluster. They argued that Justice
Kennedy attempted to convey an idea that
has already been more persuasively ad-
vanced. However, it was a refreshing change
from the traditional “feel good” graduation
addresses on overcoming failure and find-
ing happiness. It was a speech about duty.At
Stanford, we are accustomed to speaking
about rights. It is time to expand the dis-
course.A Stanford education is a great priv-
ilege, and this privilege comes with the im-
perative to contribute toward social better-
ment through public service.
Earning a degree at Stanford is a signifi-
cant investment. It involves not only our
parents,who made sacrifices to make our at-
tendance possible, but also generations of
Stanford alumni and donors who have sup-
ported our education by increasing the en-
dowment, constructing new buildings or
funding specific initiatives. In 2007-08, over
72,000 donors raised $785 million to Stan-
ford, making the University’s development
the most successful in the U.S. Almost 40
percent of Stanford undergraduate alumni
contributed to the University’s fundraising
efforts. Programs such as Bing Stanford in
Washington, study abroad and Chappell
Lougee fellowships simply would not exist
without the generosity of individuals.
The thousands of people did not invest in
our education merely to watch us lead re-
warding, albeit private lives. It is just not
good enough to go about our daily routines,
seeking personal fulfillment. They invested
to produce global citizens of the highest
moral and intellectual caliber who will
make valuable contributions to the broader
society, whether it is in the arts, sciences, ac-
ademia, politics or other arenas. It is their
expectation that we take responsibility for
forces greater than ourselves. The chal-
lenges confronting us today are just as diffi-
cult as those confronting great challenges of
bygone days. We still need to answer
Alexander Hamilton’s call in “The Federal-
ist” to ensure that the future of humanity is
shaped through “reflection and choice,” and
not through “accident and force.”
The topic of a noble life rarely features in
conversations among Stanford students.You
do not often hear Aristotle’s view in the
Nicomachean Ethics regarding statesman-
ship as one of the highest forms of life
evoked in job search sessions. Pragmatism
appears to be the dominating attitude on
campus. Despite the recent economic crisis,
the cult of a career in finance has not dimin-
ished. Less than a week into fall quarter, I
have received at least a dozen emails pro-
moting “information sessions,” “coffee
chats” and “resume drops.” From McKinsey
to Morgan Stanley, from Deloitte to D.E.
Shaw, consulting and I-banking firms have
flooded the campus with full-time position
recruiting.There is nothing wrong with Stan-
ford students wanting to venture into the
business arena. The opportunities offered
are certainly stimulating and financially re-
warding. Indeed, the private sector offers a
chance to gain valuable skills and experi-
ences that should be later applied toward
furthering the public good.Furthermore, it is
expected that we will change jobs and pro-
fessions numerous times during our lifetime.
However, it becomes disconcerting when se-
curity replaces vision, and when complacen-
cy stifles our sense of responsibility.
In their founding grant, Leland and Jane
Stanford expressed Stanford students’ re-
sponsibility to contribute to “the public wel-
fare by exercising an influence on behalf of
humanity and civilization.”A Stanford edu-
cation does not merely equip us with the
ability to embark on successful careers. It
prepares us to lead lives of service. It is im-
perative that we keep in mind the sense of
duty to our predecessors and our legacy.
How will you rise to meet the responsibility of
serving as leaders in your community, the na-
tion and the world? Email Shelley at

tepid to fart-warm, when I heard a
rustling at the door.
I assumed it was the village hoodlums, no
doubt angling for a peek at my unrobed flesh
beneath the crack. “Fie, horse thieves!” I
shouted, sheltering my nether regions be-
hind my well-worn copy of “Eat, Pray,
Love.” “Away with your wretched tom-
peepery!” To my chagrin, it was the mail-
man. Said he had an important delivery for
me, marked urgent from the Oval Office. It
read: “Get out of that sordid tub and do
something for your country! War is still rag-
ing,health care still failing,and there you are
shriveled as a washerwoman, searching for
enlightenment, aroma therapy and a fab
recipe for pesto. Your nation needs you.
Take up that pen and write on a weekly basis,
until your stomach bleeds! Sincerely, Barack
Obama, the President.”
Right away, I had a sneaking suspicion
that the letter was not actually from Barack
Obama,but my grandpa.He’s always talking
about doing things until your stomach
bleeds. Seemed like a dead give-away. Only
after I stuffed the letter down the drain did it
occur to me that my grandpa was no longer
living. An ulcer took him from us five years
ago. Which meant the letter really was from
the President!
In a panic I fished it out, but all the ink
had been washed away. All that remained
was a sequence of letters that formed the
nonsensical words “Stanford Daily.” I took
this as an auspicious sign, searched the Inter-
net for direction and was guided to the very
publication you now hold in your hands. I
swore on the American flag and the pickled
remains of my grandfather’s anomalous
organ that I would write for this “Stanford
Daily” — until the blood gushed from my
innards.
At the time, I was mystified by this
strange series of events. Only later did I
piece it all together. There is a chance that
one Zed Shwarma,alleged student and opin-
ions editor at the “Stanford Daily,”wrote the
note on the back of a sheet of Stanford Daily
stationary as a sick joke, hoping to swindle
me into submitting a weekly column to his
section of the newspaper. But the more like-
ly scenario is that my grandfather’s ghost
blackmailed President Barack Obama into
writing the letter, and Obama, to avoid ru-
mors that he was being haunted by my
grandpa, set Shwarma up as the patsy.
Either way, I’ve been roped into this writ-
ing business — if you can call it that. I always
thought writers were scandalously rich and
famous, dated movie stars, and drew tens of
thousands of adoring bare-chested fans to
watch them kick a ball around a field for 90
minutes in matching shorts and socks. It
turns out none of this is true.Well, at least as
a writer you get to eat donuts all day, ride
around in a car with loud sirens and shoot
bad guys, right? Nope. The lies we teach our
children . . .
So, what is it really like practicing the
world’s oldest profession? Well, for starters,
you have to wake up at 5 a.m. because that’s
when the creditors in Delaware start calling.
This is not so bad, since I can use the steady
rhythm of the phone rings to structure my
work day. For example, rings 1-100, scream
into pillow. Rings 100-200, eat breakfast.
Rings 200-1,000, prepare to write. Rings
1,000-1,500, cry into pillow. And at ring
1,500, I dry my eyes and wet my throat with
gin.
And that’s when the real writing starts. I
often do my best writing completely uncon-
scious. Sure, sometimes I wake up in a black
linen sack full of tarantulas in a cemetery
outside Juarez. Occasionally, I receive mail
from the Navy demanding recompense for a
battleship I have no recollection of sinking.
And there is the infrequent coming-to in the
white light of the airport detention cell after
having removed my pants mid-flight. But
every time, I emerge with a column of limpid
prose written in gravy stains on my under-
shirt. If only my cleaning lady would stop
washing my undershirts, I’d have some truly
great writing to offer you.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep spending hours star-
ing into the abyss of my soul reflected in the
computer screen, listening to my wife nag
me about how she doesn’t like to be called
my cleaning lady and wondering what in the
world this job has to do with getting paid to
have sex with strangers. I’ll add word after
excruciating word,and pray to a hybrid deity
of President Obama and my deceased
grandpa that it see fit sooner rather than
later to fill my stomach with blood.
Until then, I hope you enjoy this column!

On My Mind
Witnessing
women’s
soccer
The Stanford football frenzy
currently overtaking the
school should not obscure
notable performances by
other teams across campus.
In fact,the women’s soccer team is one
of many fall teams with undefeated
records so far.
With a 9-0-0 record and a No. 1 or
No. 2 national ranking (depending on
the poll), women’s soccer has had an
impressive start to the season and is
looking to maintain its strong perform-
ance.
Stanford is off to its best start since
1994,when the Cardinal team went 10-
0 to start the season.With the next two
games against Saint Mary’s and Santa
Clara, there is a good chance that the
Cardinal women will best the 1994
mark to have the best opening record
in Stanford women’s soccer history.
But as the old adage goes, it’s not
how you start; it’s how you finish.And
I’m sure that the players will tell you
the same thing. Last year’s excellent
season ended with a tough 1-0 loss to
Notre Dame in the College Cup semi-
finals.This year,almost every player re-
turns from that squad, and you can be
sure they have at least one thing on
their mind.
And watch out, women’s soccer
teams across the country: This team
may be better than they were a year
ago.
The Cardinal has returned their of-
fensive firepower from a year ago —
69 of Stanford’s 71 goals last season.
Stanford has outscored their oppo-
nents 33-6 so far this year,and six play-
ers have multi-goal games.
An example of just how good the
Cardinal is can be seen in this season’s
third game. Down 2-0 to San Diego
State with 27 minutes to go, the Cardi-
nal rebounded for three goals in six
minutes, and added two more before
the game was over. The Aztecs suf-
fered a bombardment of five goals in
26 minutes,and this game showed how
the Card is ready to strike given even
the slightest opportunity.
An explosive offense and stout de-
fense carried last year’s team to the
College Cup. But it was the first Col-
lege Cup appearance for every single
player on that team. Say what you will
about experience, but something tells
me that this year, with nine of 11 re-
turning starters and almost the entire
bench returning, the Cardinal will be
even more ready for the champi-
onships this year.
And honestly, it does not seem like
there is much in their way. They have
five or six players ready to bring them
a quick goal at any moment,and an en-
tire team of playmakers. They have
speed at the back and in the front, and
size in the middle. Head coach Paul
Ratcliffe has been starting freshman
Mariah Nogueira in a defensive mid-
field spot,while giving her the freedom
to move forward on set pieces. Rat-
cliffe has called her one of the best
headers of the ball he’s seen in college
soccer. That physical presence and
ability to win the ball is key for the Car-
dinal,which has in recent years had the
luxury of physical central defenders in-
cluding Allison Falk, Marissa Abegg
and Rachel Buehler.
But games aren’t won with defense
alone. Senior Kelley O’Hara anchors
an offense that includes junior Chris-
ten Press and sophomores Lindsay
Taylor and Teresa Noyola. The four
have combined for 22 of the team’s 33
goals.Perhaps even more impressive is
the late offensive prowess — 25 of
Stanford’s 33 goals have come in the
second half.
Probably the defining win of the
season so far was the win a few weeks
ago over then-No. 5 Notre Dame. In a
rematch of last year’s National Semifi-
nal game,the Cardinal took charge in a
2-0 win over the Irish down at Santa
Women look to remain undefeated against Gaels
By NATE ADAMS
DESK EDITOR
With a flawless record and few injury
problems, the Cardinal women’s soccer
team is riding a huge wave of momentum
into the tail end of its non-conference sea-
son. After dominating Colorado and Wis-
consin last weekend by a combined score of
10-0, No. 2 Stanford (9-0-0) now looks ahead
to Sunday’s road game against the Gaels of
St. Mary’s College (5-4-0), the penultimate
match before its foray into Pac-10 play.
The Gaels are a familiar foe to most of
the Cardinal players, as the two schools have
met each other in each of the last two sea-
sons. Last year, the Cardinal soundly defeat-
ed St. Mary’s in a 3-0 shutout behind goal-
keeper Kira Maker. Despite their recent his-
tory, however, Stanford head coach Paul
Ratcliffe knows that no team should be un-
derestimated, especially on the road.
“I think whenever you’re playing away
from home, it’s a more difficult game,” Rat-
cliffe said. “St. Mary’s has done really well
this year, and their track record is strong.
Every game is difficult, so we have to be
ready for it. We have to prove we can win.”
Spearheading the effort to continue the
Cardinal’s undefeated season will be senior
forward Kelley O’Hara. Dexterous and ex-
perienced, O’Hara has racked up a team-
leading 24 points and 10 goals in just nine
games, while keeping her shot accuracy at an
impressive .222 in 45 tries. What’s more, she
has already scored well over half of her ca-
reer high in points this season — 38 in 2008.
Indeed, O’Hara has put in extra effort to
make her senior year special.
“I played with a team over the summer,
and it’s the first time I’ve played all through
the offseason like that,” O’Hara said. “I
think that helped to keep my game fitness
up. But also, it’s my senior year and I love
Stanford, so I really want to make the most
of the couple months I have left with this
team.”
Her coach couldn’t be more grateful for
her contributions, and Ratcliffe knows
O’Hara will be a useful asset both on Sun-
day and for the remainder of the season.
“Kelley’s been fantastic this year and in
the past,” Ratcliffe said of his senior for-
ward. “She’s an inspiration to the team and
very mature. She’s a great leader . . . she’s
just exceptional.”
Stanford’s 2009 squad, currently ranked
No. 1 in four of five national polls, has a lot
of depth backing up key players like
O’Hara. Among its talented core is sopho-
more forward Lindsay Taylor. As a fresh-
man, Taylor tied Christen Press for the team
lead in goals with 16, and was named the
Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. She’s had to
battle through some adversity this season,
and has netted only two goals throughout
the Cardinal’s nine games. She’s starting to
look like her old self again recently, though,
and could be a big factor against St. Mary’s
— last year, she scored the game-winning
goal against the Gaels.
“I started the year off sick, so it was a lit-
tle hard to get into things, but I’ve managed
to come back and get increased playing
time,” Taylor said. “I’ve had time to get used
to everyone’s playing styles again, and I
think they’re getting used to me as well. I’m
starting to get back into shape and getting
set to play hard, so it’s been a good come-
back.”
The rest of the team, despite the perfect
record, is looking to improve as well. With
conference play just around the corner, the
contest with St. Mary’s could be a good op-
portunity for the Cardinal to work out any
kinks in its game.
“The team needs to continue improving,”
Ratcliffe acknowledged. “We’ve been doing
better and better with each game. We’ve
been trying to increase our speed of play in
particular. We need to keep working,
though. My hope is that we’re peaking dur-
ing the Pac-10 season and then leading
heading into the playoffs.”
While Ratcliffe and his players generally
prefer to take things one game at a time, it’s
hard not to look past matches like St. Mary’s
on Sunday, especially while facing a team
that has a good chance of going deep into
the postseason.
Taylor expressed her excitement at the
not-too-far-off Pac-10 schedule.“It’s great to
be going back to the conference games, and
we’re always looking to be tough and hope-
fully make it back to the Pac-10 tournament,
and maybe win it all this year,” she said.
On the injury front, the Cardinal had a bit
of a scare when sophomore midfielder Tere-
sa Noyola (currently third on the team in
points) took a nasty spill in front of the stu-
dent section against Wisconsin. Though she
took several minutes to stand up and was fa-
voring one leg heavily, her coach is not too
concerned about the incident.
“It was just a little knock, the kind of
thing that happens all the time,” Ratcliffe
said. “She should be fine.”
The Cardinal faces off against the St.
Mary’s College Gaels this Sunday at 1 p.m.
in Moraga, Calif.

AUDRIE LIN/The Stanford Daily
The No. 2 Stanford women’s soccer team will go for its 10th consecutive win to open up the sea-
son when it faces St. Mary’s on Sunday. The Cardinal shut out the Gaels by a score of 3-0 last
season. With a win this weekend, Stanford will make a push for the No.1 national ranking.
Pursuit of
Perfection
mentum from their shocking 16-13
win over then-No. 3 USC into the
rest of their conference schedule.
The stakes may be even higher
than they originally were, after com-
ments by Washington coach Steve
Sarkisian this week. Sarkisian ex-
plained to the Seattle media that he
would be turning down the music
during practice this week in order to
prepare for the “somewhat more
quiet atmosphere”at Stanford Stadi-
um. While Sarkisian’s comments
riled some from the Stanford com-
munity this week (although not the
football program itself), the first-
year coach’s remarks were certainly
valid.
The Huskies are led by junior
quarterback Jake Locker, consid-
ered to be one of the best talents at
quarterback in all of the country.
Though Harbaugh has been the
coach known to stir the media, he
had nothing but praise this week for
Locker and the rest of the Huskies.
“They’ve done a remarkable job
with that football program, both the
players and the coaches there,” Har-
baugh said. “Offensively, they give
you a lot of problems. You got a
quarterback that can drop back in
the pocket and throw it. He can get
out of the pocket. He can escape
pressure when you have pressure on
him, and when you have guys cov-
ered — he can make a play.”
Harbaugh’s words seem to line up
with his actions: He voted Washing-
ton 15th in the latest coaches’ poll,
nine spots ahead of its actual posi-
tion in the poll.
Though Washington is the ranked
opponent in the match-up, the Car-
dinal is the favorite, and a significant
one at that — the standard Vegas
betting lines currently have Stanford
as an eight-point favorite. After all,
Washington is still fresh off a 0-12
season, the worst in school history.
The Huskies have already clearly
been rejuvenated after hiring Sark-
isian, but any program coming off
such a horrific season is likely to ex-
perience growing pains in its first re-
building year.
Washington was also aided by a
combination of injuries and numer-
ous mistakes on the part of the Tro-
jans: USC was forced to start inexpe-
rienced backup Aaron Corp at quar-
terback, and they ended up turning
the ball over three times.
Stanford will attack Washington
with the same weapon it wields on
the rest of its opponents: senior tail-
back Toby Gerhart.The Huskies run
defense may be a point of weakness,
too, as they gave up 250 yards to Tro-
jan running backs last Saturday.With
Gerhart in good health and running
over defenders of all kinds, the Car-
dinal may have a field day when it
comes to running the football.
That said, the Huskies are going
to be a formidable opponent, some-
thing Stanford is perfectly aware of.
“They’re a different team [than
last year’s team],” Gerhart said after
Stanford’s 42-17 win over San Jose
State last Saturday. “They’re confi-
dent, they’re playing hard, they’re
playing well. Just watching that very
first game [against LSU], they’re
going to be a team to contend with.
We were at that same point two
years ago.”
Saturday’s kick-off is set for 6
p.m. at Stanford Stadium. The game
will be televised by Fox Sports Col-
lege Pacific and broadcast by KZSU
90.1 FM.

The No. 10 Stanford women’s volleyball team heads across the Bay to take on Cal for the first conference match of the
season. The Golden Bears share a 7-3 record with the Cardinal, but remain undefeated at home.
Continued from front page
VBALL| Stanford begins Pac-10 play
baa tallied 22 kills in two games and
Ailes rallied 37 digs, these players are
fired up and prepared to take on the
Pac-10. The team now looks to im-
prove with each game and help its
younger players harness their skills.
“With our team,we’re trying not to
get ahead of ourselves,”Dunning said.
“We had four people graduate who
played a lot last year. The one thing
you can’t hurry is experience.It comes
when it comes.”
Cal boasts one of the nation’s best
outside hitters,Hana Cutura.Dunning
and his team will look to keep her con-
tained by controlling the net tonight.
“When you’re looking at who’s out
on the court, we better be a good
blocking team.We can play by the net
athletically or size-wise or both,”Dun-
ning said. “Most of the good Pac-10
teams are driven by their outside hit-
ters;so our block,if it’s really good,can
change the matches.”
Changing matches is what it’s all
about in the Pac-10 this year.Whether
the team is No. 1 or No. 10, the Card
knows that each game will pose a dif-
ficult test. Playing Cal on the road will
be challenging, although very reward-
ing if the Cardinal can bring home a
victory.
“Cal is Cal is Cal.We’re motivated
to play Cal, and they’re really good,”
Dunning said. “[Cutura] has been
tearing all of her opponents apart.This
is a big match for us to start confer-
ence. It’s on their court; they’re going
to be comfortable.We have to go over
there and defend ourselves,but it’s just
a great way to start the conference.”
Riding momentum from the past
weekend’s triumphs, the Cardinal sets
out to keep the ball rolling in its favor
against the Bears. With great serving,
tough defense and execution of of-
fense, Stanford should be able to take
its first conference win.
The first ball will be served tonight
at 7 p.m.at the Haas Pavilion in Berke-
ley.

Men’s soccer prepares for pair of
nonconference home games
The Stanford men’s soccer team
welcomes Air Force tonight and New
Mexico on Sunday night in the Stan-
ford Nike Classic this weekend.
So far this season, the Cardinal (4-
1) has rebounded from a subpar
2008. After its opening loss at
Lehigh, Stanford has won four
straight games, which already equals
the team’s win total from last year,
and hopes to continue its success
against two Mountain Pacific Sports
Federation teams.
Thus far,Stanford has scored nine
goals in five games,which is a vast im-
provement over last year’s total of 14
goals in 18 games.This coincides with
strong defensive play for the Cardi-
nal. Senior goalkeeper John Moore
had three shutouts in the team’s first
five contests. This is nothing new for
Stanford, though, because the Cardi-
nal defense was the lone bright spot
for the team last year. Stanford did
not allow more than two goals in any
game last year, and the defense has
continued that run this year, giving
up four goals in five games.
The Cardinal’s first opponent,Air
Force, has won its last two games and
is 3-1-1 on the year. The Falcons are
led by Kevin Rosser,who has four as-
sists in five games. Stanford is 4-1-2
overall against Air Force.
New Mexico comes in 4-2, but
has to play at No. 5 California this
afternoon before taking on Stan-
ford. Justin Davis has scored four of
the Lobos’ 12 goals this season, and
New Mexico has only allowed six
goals.
Stanford was picked in the pre-
season to finish third in the six-team
soccer variation of the Pac-10, be-
hind Cal and UCLA,who are both in
the current top 10.
The Air Force game will begin at 7
p.m. tonight and the New Mexico
game will kick off at 12:30 p.m. on
Sunday.
— By Jacob Jaffe
Clara. This victory not only brought
revenge for last year’s defeat,but gave
the players confidence that Stanford
can beat the best out there.
If nothing else, you should watch
this team play.If you like offense,then
this team is for you. If you like de-
fense, then this team is for you. If you
like winning,then this team is definite-
ly for you.
If women’s soccer can continue to
play this way throughout the rest of
the season and into the postseason,
the Cardinal will not only best Stan-
ford’s 1994 team for a great start to the
season; they will have a great finish,
too. After coming very close to the
title last year, this year the Card is out
to achieve the greatness it deserves.
Danny Belch is gonna let you finish,but
Stanford women’s soccer is one of the
best teams of all time...of ALL TIME.
