There was little applause at the end of each poem Mary Oliver read Monday night. Instead, the last line of each poem was met with a collective murmur of approval from the captivated audience. Despite the rain, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, invited by the Creative Writing department through the Jean and Bill Lane Lecture Series, drew an audience larger than Cemex Auditoriums capacity of 600. Oliver was introduced as a Virgilian guide to the natural world by Eavan Boland, head of the Creative Writing Department. Because of her poems, Boland said, the world continues to offer itself to our imagination. Jean Lane, sponsor of the lecture series,
was present at the reading. She discussed her decision to invite Oliver and said, She sees nature so much like I do, in the same spirit. I love her words. Oliver, 76, has published close to 30 volumes of poetry. Last night, she read a range of poems that spanned across various volumes, as well as some new, unpublished poetry. Threaded through the reading were three poems dedicated to her dog, Percy, named after the Romantic poet Percy Shelley. The Percy poems were really sweet, said David Jia, 13,after the reading.I really liked that she named her dog after Percy Shelley it made him seem so much more like a human. Throughout the reading, Oliver joked with her rapt audience. Youre so quiet, you people! she exclaimed after a poem ended to another quiet wave of satisfied sighs and appreciative murmurs. I should have some fighting poems! I dont have any.
New federal regulations require that students receiving federal aid funds meet five standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), according to the University Financial Aid Office website. The new Program Integrity Regulations, which took effect July 1, require that students maintain a 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA, earn at least nine units per quarter and 36 units over three quarters, are enrolled for no longer than 18 undergraduate quarters and meet a minimum cumulative pace of progression that is set by each undergraduate institution. Stanfords Financial Aid Office has set the required pace of progression how many units a student completes divided by how many units a student attempts at 60 percent. The federal government doesnt want to pay for you to keep trying to take classes and dropping out at the last minute, said Director of Financial Aid Karen Cooper. Although the Department of Education has always maintained SAP requirements for students on federal or state financial aid, this set of regulations is the first to set a higher standard for academic progress than the Universitys own enrollment requirements, due to the new pace of progression regulation. I think its another prompt for students to be aware of the body of coursework they are signing up for and to think thoughtfully and deliberately in consultation with one or more advisers to ensure that the body of coursework that theyre planning for themselves is attainable, said Randy Williams, associate dean of Undergraduate Advising and Research (UAR). Due to differing standards between the Universitys enrollment requirements and the federal aid academic progress requirements, both UAR and the Financial Aid Office will be communicating with students on federal or state aid about their academic progress. Im a little concerned about how students will feel about the Financial Aid Office approaching them to talk about their academic situation, Cooper said. If a student fails to meet the SAP requirements, a student will enter Financial Aid Warning status for the following academic quarter but will remain eligible for federal student aid funds. However, these students must earn at least 12 units of credit while in Financial Aid Warning status. This status is only available once to students.A student will enter Financial Aid Ineligible status if they fail to the meet the SAP requirements for any subsequent aca-

ribonucleic acids (RNAs), according to a School of Medicine statement. With this new information, researchers in these fields will now be able to understand how RNA regulates the expression of genes. Earlier techniques only allowed researchers to guess the activity of the RNA based on clues from the surrounding biological system, according to dermatology professor and researcher Howard Chang.This new technique, however, allows scientists to identify exactly where on the chromatin the RNAs are binding. The results, Chang said in the study, indicate that the regulatory RNA is focal, numerous and sitespecific. Messenger RNA, which transcribes genetic instructions encoded in DNA and facilitates proteinbuilding using that information, was identified 50 years ago. In the years since, the one-directional flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein became central to biology curricula. Regulatory RNA, however,contradicts that simplified picture because it binds to DNA and affects which genes are selected to become
proteins. Studying the role of regulatory RNA may lead to a better understanding of several cellular functions, influencing our understanding of cell development and regeneration and cancer. Chang and his lab identified some of the first known regulatory RNAs, also referred to as long intergenic non-coding RNAs, or lincRNAs. Chang was senior author of the work published in September, while graduate student Ci Chu was first author. Chu and Chang innovated a tiling approach using dozens of individually labeled nucleotide sequences to isolate the small portion of regulatory RNAs, or lincRNAs, that remains bound to chromatin. The research was funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the National Institutes of Health, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research of Singapore.

award certificates rather than degrees must track how many of their students go on to careers in the pertinent field and if they are successful. The concern is that the motorcycle mechanic programs out there that are for-profit are allowing students to continue to enroll even though theyre not being successful over and over again just so [the programs] can get their money, Cooper said. The new regulations also require that schools have a net-price calculator on their financial aid web page by Oct. 29. Stanfords Financial Aid Office already maintains such a calculator to estimate what a Stanford education might cost once grants and scholarships are awarded, but the office has to rename the calculator as a net price calculator. A lot of whats going on these days at the federal level has to do with the nonprofit versus the private, for-profit sector, Cooper said. Theres a feeling of wanting to regulate that for-profit sector and unfortunately, when they do that, we all get swept up. Contact Alice Phillips at alicep1@ stanford.edu.

Oh my God! Look at that! Dude.This dining hall is legit. One after the other, students climbed hurriedly up the stairs. Looking all around, with eyes wide open, the hungry hordes made their way to the second floor of the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons. The entire floor was buzzing with excitement, as people eagerly took their plates to the different food stations. As sunshine permeated through the large glass windows, students took their seats and chatted with friends inside or ventured to the outdoor seating on the terrace overlooking palm trees and the setting sun. One thing is clear:Arrillaga Family Dining Commons is anything but the average college dining hall. A collaborative effort between Stanford Dining, Stanford Athletics,
the School of Medicine and the Culinary Institute of America, Arrillaga Dining Commons seeks to meet the various needs of students and change the way people view their meals. Its truly a multi-purpose environment, with a place for cooking, exercising and learning,said Shirley Everett, senior associate vice provost of residential and dining enterprises. We really listened to the students, and we want this to be a place that students are proud of. Rebecca Amato 14 and a group of her friends were among the first to enter the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons. We had been anticipating the grand opening, so we waited outside beforehand because we wanted to beat the crowd,Amato said. It was really cool walking into the first level, she added. There were welcoming couches and pillows, which you dont normally see in a dining hall. It felt more like a resort. This enthusiasm is exactly what Everett had hoped for. Its great to see the looks of students who are in awe of the dining hall, she said. All they can say is, Wow, and when Stanford students are happy, Im happy. The dining commons incorporates the educational aspect of food and health with its Performance Dining Initiative, part of Stanford Dinings Eat Well program, and joins together technology, sustainability and nutritional themes. Unlike most other dining halls, Arrillaga Dining Commons seeks to educate students about the nutritional value of the food they eat. The dining hall focuses on six different health and nutritional categories, each of which students will have the opportunity to learn about through different wellness apps on the iPads scattered across the dining hall. It has been calculated that the average person consumes about 200 million meals in their lifespan, said Stanford Dining Executive Director Eric Montell.Our goal is to get students learning about how the healthy choices they make can influence their lifestyles. Anna Nti Asare 14 said she believes healthier options are a definite advantage of the new dining commons. The pre-made salads are really good, Nti Asare said, who is a vegetarian. She also appreciates how the dining commons accommodates the needs of students. Class schedules dont really fit nicely with the dining hall hours, so you end up having to buy food, Nti Asare said. But with Arrillaga, you can still eat in the dining hall. And thats how it was planned. This is a result of a great partnership with students, Montell said. The extended hours make it so that students dont have to compromise skipping meals because of their classes or other commitments. Daniel Bui 12 said that the Arrillaga Dining Commons is unlike any dining hall he has been to before. I regret that the Arrillaga dining hall wasnt an option when I was a sophomore, Bui said. Other nontraditional features can be found in the kitchen and the basement. We have a kitchen that is separated with a wall of glass so students can see the preparation of their food,Montell said.If you go downstairs, there is a multipurpose room, and there will be cooking and exercise classes held there. In addition, the dining commons will be the new host of The Dish, the late-night dining option that used to be at Stern.It is expected to open Oct.13. With all of its new features and educational initiatives as food for thought, the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons has the potential to change the way people view dining at Stanford.

Our nations top universities remain the primary training and recruiting grounds for these same reckless institutions.
The higher education community needs to begin a serious discussion about how to ensure checks and balances against finance, and prepare more students for socially productive careers in public service, entrepreneurship and scientific research. Some recent trends have been positive, like loan forgiveness for law school graduates entering public service. Universities should consider similar incentives for undergraduates, designing proactive, long-term strategies to encourage alternative career tracks. Let us be clear: pursuing a job on Wall Street isnt evil, and it goes without saying that we need a strong and efficient financial sector.But our generation cannot afford to continue shipping our best and brightest off to Wall Street. The United States and the world face enormous challenges in our lifetimes from climate change to global poverty and we need our top talent focused on solving these problems. Americas university system is one of our most prized national assets, benefiting from taxpayer support and providing invaluable public goods in the way of knowledge and human capital.It should stop serving as the vocational training center for reckless banks and hedge funds. This process will be difficult for many of us with friends and colleagues in finance. But those of us privileged enough to attend top universities should have the courage and responsibility to recognize the hard truth; an academic community that actively supports the same financial institutions whose rampant greed caused untold national hardship is a community on the brink of moral bankruptcy.

proceeded to tell me about his hope to do some business program run by Georgetown for older returning students and how happy he was to make a new friend. He even went as far as to make a deal with me; he would teach me Arabic if I helped improve his writing skills for the program (he taught me two whole words I cant pronounce to seal the deal). By the time I had arrived at the parking lot early I actually felt like I had made a friend, whether I had wanted to or not. In retrospect, it may not have been the brightest idea, but deep down inside, I genuinely believe in the kindness of strangers (you can judge me on my naivete later). Nonetheless, I left the taxi happy about the decision I made. Its probably not one Ill make again, but that little encounter taught me something valuable. Everyone is a stranger until you make them a friend. Even your best buddy since the fourth grade was just some shy kid in the corner until your teacher made you sit next to her in class and you realized you both love Sailor Moon. So if I can make a friend with Mohammed the taxi driver, just think of who you could meet. Do you want to be Camiras friend, too? Then you should email her at camirap@stanford.edu.
ve never been the new kid. I never moved to a different city or even changed school districts. Yet whenever new people would pop up in class, I always wondered what it was like to have to start all over again and make friends. I generally tried to be nice to them for good karma just in case I was ever in their position, but I couldnt fathom what it felt like knowing everyone knows everyone but you. Or at least, that was true until I got to Howard University. Before coming to Howard, one of my biggest concerns was how I was going to get to know anyone. I was petrified, thinking I was going to become a loner who spent 20 out of 24 hours in my room and sat alone every day in the dining hall, not by choice, but because no one wanted to sit next to me. Luckily, most of my fears were unfounded. Ive been fortunate enough to find cool kids to run around and get lost in DC with, yet I still wonder how we got to that point. But this past weekend, I made a friend. It was Saturday morning and I had an hour to get to the MegaBus parking lot to meet my friends so we could head out for a fun weekend in Philly. Sadly, the Metro stops by campus were closed for maintenance during the holiday weekend. They promised free shuttles to compensate for the atrocity, but I arrived at the nearest stop with my bags in hand only to see the shuttle pull away. A little disheartened, I
didnt have time to wait for the next one, so I decided to walk to the next stop a few blocks down. My dorm is not located in the nicest part of DC. Its historical and has some places worth visiting, but its still a bit sketchy (though its nothing to fear with an angry face and quick pace).About halfway between the Shaw-Howard and Mt. Vernon stops, I saw these dudes on the corner. Dudes on the corner are nothing new, but these ones looked extra grimy. At that same moment, I saw this taxi pull up behind me and the cab driver, who was more than old enough to be my grandfather, asked me if I needed a ride. So I looked at my options: walk past these crusty men who will hit on anything that looks female or pay the price of the taxi. Taxi won. At first, I was a little surprised when he encouraged me to sit in the front seat. My mind instantly jumped to the worst-case scenario, and I kept thinking this is how all those overly dramatic Lifetime movies start. But when I saw the state of the backseat, my hesitation ebbed. Once inside, he immediately told me that I looked like one of his people. I didnt know how to respond, so he clarified by having me guess what East African country we were from (I wrongly guessed Ethiopia). I never knew I was Somali, but you learn something new about yourself every day. As he continued driving, he asked me all the basic get-to-know-you questions, and I kept one eye on the meter that he never turned on. He

the United States, including the Stanford Police, still have a hang up recognizing that people can be of mixed ethnicities. The perfect example of this is the current inhabitant of the White House who is often described by the U.S. media as African American when he is as much Caucasian as anything else.Accordingly, the term Hispanic or Latino has crept into the popular lexicon as a descriptive term to describe someone of mixed European and indigenous American ancestry, an individual who in Latin America would be described as mestizo or in Canada as metis. This does not make the use of the term Hispanic for that purpose proper. More importantly, an educational institution such as Stanford University should not tolerate its incorrect usage.

nce upon a time in high school, I dreamt about a boy. Dont let your imagination run wild yet it was a dream about a conversation. After waking up, though, I felt differently toward him. I cant remember if it was anger or awkwardness, but I avoided him that day at school.Whether or not he noticed my weird spell was pointless to discuss because,in reality,it had nothing to do with him and everything to do with my head. And beyond that, he was still one of my closest friends. Unfortunately, the sudden and unilateral way that relationships shift gears is generally a more pessimistic story. Sometimes were the culprits: qualities we once found attractive can turn repulsive,and first-date high notes can be hijacked by hokiness.So we attempt to slyly exit scene.Its like the book that loses its magic: the words never changed, but you find yourself wondering what you found so interesting in the first place. Other times were the victims: all texts, calls and communications have stopped, and we wonder how we missed the vote that kicked us off the island.Yet these lightning-speed reversals dont come with a warning, just frustration and lingering questions:how much of our relationships are in our heads? How often do we project our own false ideas onto others,and how often do we unknowingly receive them? I was chatting recently with a friend about this. Hes one of the most self-admittedly nice guys I know and truly embraces that. He tries to meet everyone halfway, on good terms, convinced that its possible to be friends with everyone. (Indeed, our semi-opposite philosophies about people lead to very long and colorful discussions.) He suspects that his pro-amiableness is why new relationships tend to form spon-
taneously before him like fire and why, at least in his head, they end just as quickly. Essentially, his commitment to see good in the other person doesnt always outshine the truth of personality differences and longterm issues. Its the classic case of how we tend to see what we want to see for as long as we possibly can. In relationships,its mostly a problem of timing: a promise has usually already been made before we realize it was with someone we partially conjured up for ourselves. That notorious line, Its not you; its me, might have some real bearing here . . . If only that were more comforting, though. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I have many more friends on the other side, suffering from their crushes seemingly inexplicable changes of heart.One of my best girlfriends,who is smart and isnt wasting time on the subject, is simply annoyed by her slight curiosity. After all, with any new encounter, there is the chance that we inadvertently hit their relationship deal-breaker and unwittingly call the whole thing off;then comes the inevitable quest to deduce what horrific thing it was that we said or did. But the end of a thing, fling or promise ring can also come from arbitrary personal realizations in the other persons mind. Ironically, this could be the most comforting thing in the world: we cant take credit for everything that happens to us (though we try very hard to, often subconsciously). The de facto definition of relationshipis everything that exists and occurs between two people. In this complicated world,though,everyone brings his or her baggage on board. Its never solely about how two people behave or feel when theyre with each other. Its also about everything those two people are, respectively,

when they are alone. Dynamics change and patterns seem inconsistent because, ultimately, we dont all know each other enough to know what their consistent really is.And assuming so can lead to too many hurt feelings down the road. But this story doesnt end like that.Despite the infuriating nature of ambiguity, we must admit it makes the good relationship that much greater. Despite the black holes of our highly unknowable heads, we do meet people who see something true in us and whats more still want to be with us.

t might be the American vs. English cultural barrier, but I cant help feeling the Red Zone crowd is lacking something. I cant claim that my home soccer team has the most vocal and passionate fans,but Im used to an edgier and more involved atmosphere in stadiums. Thankfully, violence at soccer grounds in the U.K. is mostly a thing of the past, but the fans can still be pretty intimidating and emotions run high. To me, the standard cheer on the Farm of Go, Stanford just doesnt sound right. Go where? The British equivalent would be Come on, Stanford. But while on first inspection that seems almost the same, it really isnt. It usually comes with a heavy dose of pain and even anger, and is never chanted en masse.It is a personal cry of frustration in a desperate attempt to inject some kind of stimulation into your team.Beat Cal is just as bad; what else would the team be trying to do against Berkeley? Fans back home would instead direct their energy at insulting the opposition. Really good insults are definitely something I miss.There is nothing like a few tens of thousands of fans simultaneously letting an opposing player know that they think he is,in fact,shit. Its even funnier when that swearword is so loud and so clear that TV crews can do nothing about broadcasting it live across the airwaves. But this is not about simply being offensive; opposing teams should feel intimidated just by walking into the stadium and hearing the crowd noise, and I just dont think that happens here. Maybe its just a Stanford thing; friends who did their undergraduate degrees elsewhere seem to have a much more colorful cheering vocabulary.The Cardinal fans,in comparison, seem pretty tame, and I have to criticize myself for this too. Our array of chants seems pretty limited and very bland,and there is a lot of silence coming from The Red Zone. Perhaps this is because,even though we might have the longest winning streak in the nation, we have not been at the top long enough to really be considered a football school I doubt many of you came here because of the football program and developing a suitably passionate following is not an overnight thing. It might seem like the least of our athletic worries USC, Oregon and Andrew Lucks eventual departure will probably be bigger stories but college football is a game where you need every edge you can get.A single loss can wreck a season, and with teams only playing each other once a year, home-field advantage has the potential to make a big impact. Partly this is the simple logistics of a team being able to walk to the game rather than travel hundreds of miles, but the mental aspect shouldnt be underestimated. Fans of Turkish soccer team Galatasaray greet their opposition with the banner Welcome to Hell. I couldnt put it any better.

Nnemkadi, Chiney among 30 named to preseason Wooden list
The Ogwumike sisters were two of the 30 players named to the 201112 Wooden Award Preseason List by the Los Angeles Athletic Club on Monday. The Wooden Award, which has been given each of the past 35 years, is presented annually to the best player in mens basketball and to the best player in womens basketball. Nnemkadi, a senior forward, led the Pac-10 with 17.5 points per game and a 58.6 percent shooting percentage. She was the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2009-10 and was an All-American in each of the past two seasons. Her younger sister Chiney, a sophomore forward, burst onto the scene last year with 11.7 points per game and a team-leading eight rebounds per game. She was last years Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and became an imposing defensive force for the Cardinal. The two Ogwumikes are the only Pac-12 players to make the list, which is dominated by players from top schools. Of the 30 players on the list, 16 come from Connecticut, Notre Dame, Baylor, Maryland, Miami, Tennessee and Stanford. With team leaders Jeanette Pohlen and Kayla Pedersen gone to the WNBA, Stanford will rely even more heavily on the frontcourt pair from Cypress, Tex. The Ogwumikes will kick off their second and final season together on the Farm with a road game at Texas on Nov. 11.
Seventy-seven minutes and 45 seconds into Sunday nights match,it looked like the mens soccer team might be doomed to yet another frustrating 1-0 defeat at the hands of archrival California. The Cardinal struggled to capitalize on several solid scoring chances,as has been the story for much of a thus-far trying season.Stanford seemed to be on its way to a third straight defeat to open Pac-12 play. But in just two seconds, the time it took junior Adam Jahn to slam a 25-yard free kick off the underside of
the crossbar and into the back of the net, that all changed.The Cardinals defense held firm, and while the offense was shut out the rest of the way, head coach Bret Simons team managed to halt its losing streak and stay alive in the brutal Pac-12 Conference. Stanford (3-6-2, 0-2-1 Pac-12) had lost six straight matches against the Golden Bears dating back to 2007, and John Fitzpatricks header past redshirt sophomore goalie Jason Dodson quieted a large crowd of 2,919 at Laird Q.Cagan Stadium. Sophomore midfielder J.J. Koval said that conceding yet another early goal made things very difficult but
did not stop the players from feeling that they were in control. We came out hard and really rode the energy of crowd, Koval said.They scored the first goal, and it is really tough to go down early. But we kept working hard and pushing, and in the second half I really thought we had the better chances. Stanford did not, however, have the most chances in the half, as Cal outshot the Card 10-5 after the break. Dodson was kept busy, making three second-half saves to keep the game close. But the Stanford offense started
After cruising to a 4-1 victory at Harvard, the Stanford field hockey team fell against No. 12 New Hampshire, 6-3. The loss was just the Cards second all season and its first since August.
The Stanford field hockey team had won eight consecutive matches, one short of the school record, before heading out last weekend on a two-game East Coast road trip. With the spotlight on, the Cardinal lived up to its No. 7 national ranking with an easy 4-1 victory over previously red-hot Harvard. But on FIELD HOCKEY Sunday, Stanford (10-2, 3 3-0 NorPac) saw its win STANFORD streak snapped in a 6-3 NEW HAMPSHIRE 6 showdown with No. 12 10/9, Durham, N.H. New Hampshire. The loss in the Granite State was just the Cards second all season, and its first since losing a tough match at No. 4 Connecticut in the second match of the year. The Wildcats jumped on the board first, as All-American Whitney Frates scored two of her game-high three goals in the first 20 minutes.Both were unassisted,but New Hampshire was also pressing as a team, earning four penalty corners and outshooting Stanford in the first half. But the Cardinal responded, fighting back with a goal in the 29th minute from sophomore attacker Courtney Haldeman off a nice centering pass from senior attacker Stephanie Byrne.

rors before junior outside hitter Alaina Bergsma closed out the victory with two final kills for the Ducks. The second set remained even through its halfway mark until a kill by Wopat and an Oregon hitting error gave the Card a twopoint cushion at 15-13, which soon became a five-point cushion at 2116. Back-to-back Bergsma kills kept the Ducks hopes alive, but another Wopat kill, an ace and a kill from freshman outside hitter Morgan Boukather sealed the victory at 25-20. Set three would mirror set two, with the Card pulling away from the Ducks several points at a time after being tied at 14-14. Though two Bergsma kills and another from sophomore middle blocker Ariana Williams kept Oregon in the game at match point, a Stanford timeout followed by a missed serve from the Ducks gave the Card a 2520 set three win. The fourth set was the closest of the evening, with seven lead
changes and 14 tied scores. Stanford would fight to win the set and match 25-23 with Bai killing the final two balls for the Card. Three Stanford players had kill totals in the double digits, with Wopat and Williams putting down 15 apiece Wopat with a phenomenal .520 hitting percentage and Bai contributing another 10. Cook tallied yet another doubledouble with 45 assists and 15 digs, while freshman libero Kyle Gilbert led the team with 17 digs. Bergsma shined for the Ducks with a match-high 26 kills, while junior outside hitter Katherine Fischer added 10. Sophomore setter Lauren Plum registered 47 assists and 17 digs, and junior libero Haley Jacob picked up 20 digs. This weekend, Stanford returns home to take on Washington State and No. 3 Washington.
