BUDGET CUTS HARRY’S LAST LECTURE ON A MEANINGFUL LIFE

New student
programs
hit by cuts
First-generation, low-income
student programs face setback
By LAURA STAMPLER

The economic crisis is creating obstacles

for Stanford’s continued efforts to increase
programming for low-income and first-gener-
ation college students, according to University
administrators.
Last summer, the offices of the Vice
Provost for Undergraduate Education
(VPUE) and the Vice Provost for Student
Affairs (VPSA) hired Siobhan Greatorex-
Voith to direct a year-long pilot project called
the “First Generation Program,” providing
resources to first-generation and low-income
students.
Due to the economic crunch, however,
Greatorex-Voith’s contract will not be
renewed for the next academic year after it
expires on Aug. 31. She will be replaced by
Greg Graves, who will work part-time at the
Native American Cultural Center and part-
time on first-generation student issues for the
VPSA.
Other programs have also been affected by
the economic crunch. The Bridge Program —
a VPUE project proposed last year and sup-
ported by the President’s Fund — aims to
assist low-income students or students from MICHAEL LIU/The Stanford Daily

transition to Stanford. Although it was never The Reverend Scotty McLennan (left) presents a talk by the Honorable George P. Shultz on the meaning of life, which took place at Memorial Church on Monday night.

economic climate. Administrators still claim
that the program will go forward once the
recession subsides.
“I have every expectation that when the
economic crisis resolves, we will resume the
planning efforts for The Bridge Program with
full force and enthusiasm,” said Julie Lythcott-
Haims ‘89, who has been involved with the
program as dean of freshmen and transfer stu-
dents.
According to Sally Dickson, assistant vice
provost for Student Affairs, the cuts in VPSA
have been made with the intention of retain-
ing “core” elements within offices.
“We all know that the economic crunch is
going to have an impact; what the actual out-
come of that impact will be we don’t know
yet,” Dickson said. “What our concern is, is
that each office is still able to carry out its core
of responsibilities and functions to our stu-
dents.”
This is of particular importance with first-
generation and low-income students, who
make up a significant proportion of the
Stanford student body.
According to Greatorex-Voith, official data
from the Office of Undergraduate Admission
says that 17.5 percent of the freshman class is
made up of first-generation students, and that
number has gradually increased.
However, financial data is confidential and
so the classification of low-income students is
not entirely clear. Greatorex-Voith estimated
that the number of low-income students
ranges from 12-20 percent of the undergradu-
ate student body. Thirteen percent of students

Former Secretary of State discusses
meaning of life at Memorial Church
By AN LE NGUYEN
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Not a seat was empty in
Memorial Church last night as
Hoover Fellow and former
Secretary of State George Shultz
delivered a powerful speech on “The
Power of Ought” in his role as the
2009 Rathbun Visiting Fellow.
Shultz shared with the audience his
perspective on the values that con-
tribute to a fulfilling life.
Shultz’s speech marked the sec-
ond annual Last Lecture, which
commemorates the late Harry
Rathbun’s lifelong mission of exam-
ining the meaning of human exis-
tence. A Stanford Law School pro-
fessor, Rathbun dedicated his last
lecture to this theme after reading
about a graduating student’s trepi-
dation in setting out into an uncer-

Shultz, a former Secretary of State, spoke about the lessons he learned during the Cold War. Harry’s Last Lecture on a
Meaningful Life began in the 1930s
and continued until Rathbun’s
retirement in 1959. The lectures
were recently reintroduced when
the Office for Religious Life
received an endowment from the
Foundation for Global Community
(FGC) and decided to sponsor visit-
ing fellows and University activities
in Rathbun’s honor. Last year’s
speaker was former Supreme Court
Associate Justice Sandra Day
O’Connor.
At Monday’s event, Richard
Rathbun, chairman of the FGC
Board of Trustees, introduced Shultz
as “a person who is himself a mes-

concepts of “is” and “ought.” But the

Out Law Profs.would make history on Supreme Court

By ERIC MESSINGER
DESK EDITOR
Two Stanford Law School professors who
have been mentioned as top contenders for a
Supreme Court nomination are causing
excitement within the Stanford LGBT com-
munity for each one’s potential to be the first
openly homosexual justice on the bench.
Law School Profs. Kathleen Sullivan and
Pamela Karlan, both openly lesbian, have
been the subject of national press attention
in the speculation over who President
Obama will nominate to fill the seat of retir-
ing Justice David Souter. Souter recently
announced he will step down at the start of
the Court’s summer recess.
Political Science Prof. Gary Segura stud-
ies the phenomenon of “descriptive repre-
sentation” — the representation of women
by women, African Americans by African
Americans and similar phenomena — in the
broader context of minority politics. He said
that by virtue of their identity, either Karlan
or Sullivan could have a significant effect on
the Court.
“Their presence in the decision-making
body brings a point of view that might not
otherwise be heard,” Segura said.
Segura added that they could also check
hostile behavior on the part of justices
toward gays and lesbians as minority groups
simply by their presence.
“It makes it very hard for
arguments to be advanced that
were particularly disrespectful
of gay persons, or openly homo-
phobic,” Segura said, “whether
in chambers or in public.”

and antidiscrimination in law, said the

PC OF MIND
By MELANIE SCHEIBLE
P
olitical correctness (PC) has a degree
of jurisdiction over a wide range of
contentious issues, on campus and
off. But the actual term “political
correctness” is ill-defined, at best.
This contributes to a variety of opinions about
when and where it’s appropriate to be PC.
Members of Students for an Open Society
(SOS) confront issues like these.
“Politically incorrect? Is that supposed to
have a positive or negative connotation?”
questioned SOS member Boris Hanin ‘09.
Considering political correctness itself has
become something akin to censorship, SOS
believes it’s better to be accountable than
politically correct.
“It’s good [that we aren’t offensive] insofar
as when things are less offensive, people are
generally being held more accountable,”
Hanin said. “When something is offensive, it is
often closely associated to the fact that it is
fabricated or exaggerated.”
At Stanford, it seems common to be cau-
tious in choosing language when referring to
groups of certain races, ethnicities, religions,
genders or sexual orientations.
Students in the “Freedom, Equality and
Difference” Introduction to the Humanities
(IHUM) course said they asked their Teaching
Fellows (TFs) what terminology to use when
referring to members of racial groups.
Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR)
instructor Susan Schuyler identified a few
guidelines for students, such as to avoid put-
ting the word “the” in front of any racial or
religious group.
However, Schuyler doesn’t believe there
are very comprehensive resources available to
determine what is and is not PC. Rather, it is
an individual’s responsibility and decision to
determine what kind of language is appropri-
ate in any particular setting.
Schuyler prefers to err on the safe side.
“[I would] rather see people being over-
sensitive,” she said.
The rationale for being “over-sensitive” is
Students tread fine line
between political correctness
and over-sensitivity
the potential benefits for both the speaker and
the listener in exchanges that are kept at a PC
level. Theoretically, being politically correct
should make us, as speakers, tolerant and
open-minded; as listeners, it should make us
respected and comfortable.
Experts, though, do not always support this
goal to be “politically correct.”
“I’m rejecting the term [“political correct-
ness”] outright,” said Fred Turner, assistant
professor of communication and, by courtesy,
of American Studies. “The practice is to be
sensitive to difference. ‘PC’ can be a snarky
term for that important process.”
SOS aims to promote open dialogue across
campus, which can reach the core of complex
and controversial issues. Group members real-
ize this can provoke offensive or insulting
remarks, but find it important that people are
able to appreciate opposing views and opin-
ions. The discourse is to remain reasonable
and respectful to elicit legitimate considera-
tion.
“Being PC is important because you need
to coexist, but it comes to an extreme when
you can’t ask the really tough questions,” said
Nada Ramadam ‘10, president of the Muslim
Student Awareness Network (MSAN). “If
they know someone in their class or in their
dorm, I don’t think there’s anything wrong
with having a heated discussion.”
Ramadam added that she feels the pressure
in American culture to be PC, which she never
experienced in her native home of Saudi
Arabia. Yet, the dialogue keeps going.
“One of the things I love about Stanford
students is they’ll raise sensitive issues in class
— for example, when an African student
The Stanford Daily
encounters an African American
student’s idea of race,” Turner said.
“We have a culture where we can
talk about that kind of stuff.”
But what about political incorrect-
ness? Humor can take the form of
racial slurs, mimicking stereotypes or
exploiting the disabilities of others.
MSAN, however, utilized
humor to bring a better
understanding to the non-
Muslim community about Islam by
putting on a comedy show earlier
this year.
“We had a lot of debate about
what the comedians should and
shouldn’t be able to say,”
Ramadam said. “Comedy is a
really touchy subject. We don’t
want to monitor the comedy itself,
because if it’s not touchy, it’s not going to
be funny.”
Prior success with Ahmed Ahmed, an
internationally popular Muslim come-
dian, may have helped.
“Two years ago, Ahmed Ahmed
came and a lot of people came and
loved the act,” Ramadam said. “But he
did make some Muslims uncomfort-
able with jokes about Moses getting
high and seeing the Burning Bush. He
can get away with that because he’s a
professional comedian.”
Still, it’s not always so easy for
Stanford students.

A worst nightmare. With 15,000 stu-

between three of the country’s largest met-

hotbed for potential disasters. Fortunately,
Stanford takes a proactive response to po-

In summary: please, please don’t want a
hydrogen economy.
Yes, hydrogen is kind of cool. You can
burn it or you can run it through a fuel cell,
and all you’ll get out is water. Word, right?
I mean, yeah, kind of. But if your goal is
to move away from fossil fuels entirely, and
if you’re in California, there are a few things
you need to notice.
As H2, hydrogen is an energy carrier, not
an energy source. This means that we have
to make it out of something else, which
takes energy. The dream is that hydrogen
could help wean us off of fossil fuels, be-
cause if you run renewable electricity
through water, you get hydrogen, and when
you use the hydrogen to make electricity,
you get water back. No carbon emissions. So
far, so . . . sort of good.
The major problems that I see with mov-
ing to a hydrogen economy are that you end
up wasting a lot of electricity in conversions
and that, at least in California, the amount
of water required for electrolysis is not in-

significant.
Since you’re running electricity through
water to make the hydrogen, so that you can
put hydrogen in a fuel cell to make electric-
ity, an obvious question is why you aren’t
using the electricity directly. In the case of
renewable electricity, one answer is that fuel
cell output is controllable and dispatchable,
while many renewables are intermittent.
That’s true, but you pay a major conversion
cost for the dispatchability of hydrogen.
Losses associated with electrolysis, with fuel
cell operation, with fuel cell cooling needs,
with compressing or liquefying and then
transporting hydrogen are all very real, but
if wind only blows at night in the wintertime,
these losses may be justifiable. Oh, and by
the way, fuel cell systems often need battery
backup, so “we don’t have good batteries”
doesn’t really favor hydrogen.
The second major problem is that to elec-
trolyze water, you need . . . well, water. And
extremely high-quality water at that.
Though many people are working on ways
to cheaply electrolyze poor-quality waters
like brines or alkaline industrial waste-
waters, for now, you basically need at least
potable water — and preferably deionized
water — that is carefully mixed with elec-
trolytes to improve its conductivity.
Perhaps a lot of jargon, but here’s my
bottom line:
To power all of California’s energy needs
— that’s transport, electricity and heating
— via renewable electrolysis-based hydro-
gen would require that about 180,000 mil-
lion gallons of high-quality water be reliably
available. That accounts for about two per-
cent of the water we use annually, but here’s
an analogy that might help show how much
that is in California:

met, will spark the wrath of at least three
people who are really important to you (if
they happen to be agricultural, urban/indus-
trial and environmental interests, this analo-
gy is even better than I thought).
You’ve been running on a time deficit for
weeks — you’ve been, on average, borrow-
ing 10 hours a week from the future, and you
haven’t even thought about how you’ll bor-
row less in the future, let alone how you’ll
pay it back. And now I’m demanding that
you give me three hours of your highest-
quality time. During these three hours, I’ll
require that you focus in a way that you have
never focused before. And once you sign up
for them, you’re committed to providing me
with them every week for a very, very long
time. In case of emergency, these are three
hours you may not skimp on. Unfortunately
for you, you can’t really skimp on any of the
other hours you’re using either.
Those three hours represent two percent
of the week, or the very pure water electrol-
ysis needs.
Your desperate situation represents Cal-
ifornia’s water supply, with the borrowed
time being annual overdrafting of nonre-
newable water.
Remember, the water that would be
freed from not having to cool power plants
is almost universally saline. To supply my
water from desalinated seawater? Tack on
another 17 percent of California’s annual
energy demand.
Now motivate me to design a future
based on hydrogen, not electricity.

the lives of a great many.Though only a small
part of the total fitness equation, the gym cul-

hipsters are gym rats, it makes me think that
something is just a bit off. Is it merely a collec-

all, almost mechanically, to visit the basement
of Arrillaga for two to four hours each week,
or are there some greater forces at play with
this gym obsession?
One of the more profound realizations I
have come upon in my short time here at the
Stan is this institution’s incredible ability to
develop and shamelessly cultivate a particu-
lar image that it so brilliantly markets out to
the greater world. We have all been inundat-
ed,and in particular ways (Admit Weekend!),
encouraged to support and reinforce particu-
lar conceptions of the University, be it con-
sciously or otherwise. Yet I am of the belief
that this obsession with image is not a hall-
mark of simply the institution.
As a student body, we take pride in our
ridiculous and oft-unconventional antics, wit-
nessed by the “VSO as drinking club” culture,

even our “zany” Stanford quirks (even
LSJUMB to an extent, sadly) are carried out
under heavy OSA scrutiny with the spon-
taneity of bygone eras replaced by a feeling of
sanitized artificiality. And somehow we are
more than OK with such contrived absurdity.
I do not mean this as a direct criticism, but
more so than most college students, we at the
Stan are hypersensitive of the potential rami-
fications of our actions. No one wants to lose
a job over a particularly obscene Facebook
picture or throw a party without navigating
the particular bureaucratic channels. A great
many of us, methinks, have been trained since
a young age to be cognizant of how we por-
tray ourselves to the outside world, that par-

more conducive to particular social norms.
Which brings us back to the Center for
Sports and Rec, arguably John’s best struc-
ture on campus, and which happens to be one
of my favorite perks about being here at Stan-
ford (a rock-climbing wall, really? Some may
claim decadence; I just see awesome). I can-
not help but think that our obsession with
working out is in some way intimately con-

Stanford as well as a trait many of us carry
into the beginning of freshman year.

Before squaring off against UCLA on Saturday,
Stanford dismantled Marist 21-5 on Friday. Even
after the convincing victory over Marist, the Cardi-
nal knew it would have its hands full with UCLA.
Stanford found out just how hard its time would
be after UCLA took a 3-1 lead in the first period.
The Cardinal could not inch any further in the sec-
ond period, entering halftime 5-3.
“We had a poor start against UCLA, falling be-
hind because we rushed things on offense,” said
Stanford head coach John Tanner.“They scored on
too many after-goal plays, answering our scores
with ones of their own, which kept us from taking
command.”
In the third period, Stanford made its move.
Down by two with three minutes, 30 seconds left in
the period, the Cardinal scored three consecutive
goals under just two minutes to grab its first lead of
the game,7-6.Sophomore Kim Kreuger ignited the
Stanford scoring streak on an outside shot and
freshman Pallavi Menon scored the tying goal on
the ensuing possession. After the second straight
UCLA turnover, junior Jessica Steffens put the
Cardinal on top,converting on a 6-on-5 power play.
The lead did not last for long, however, as the
Bruins scored the final two goals of the period to
enter the fourth with an 8-7 lead.
The fourth period would take Stanford on an
emotional roller coaster.
After tying the game at 8-8, junior Kelly Eaton
scored with just over six minutes to play to give the
Cardinal the late lead. A minute later, senior Kira
Hillman stretched the lead to two with a goal of her
own.
UCLA reclaimed the lead, however, on a three-
goal streak starting just 15 seconds after Hillman’s
goal.
With less than a minute until Stanford’s champi-
onship dreams would come to a heartbreaking end,
the Cardinal had one final chance to tie the game.
As the shot clock ran down,Stanford tried to get off
a desperation shot.While the Cardinal was prepar-
ing to take its potential final shot of the season, it
heard an unexpected, but welcomed sound: the
UCLA bench blowing its air-horn to call a timeout.
In water polo, the penalty for the defensive team
signaling for a timeout is a five-meter penalty shot.
As it has all season,Stanford turned to its leader,
Lauren Silver.The senior, as she has all season, de-
livered, and tied the game at 10-10 for a potential
overtime.
The Cardinal would not get the opportunity,

SPORTS BRIEFS MEN’S ULTIMATE

AGUSTIN RAMIREZ/The Stanford Daily
Senior first baseman Brent Milleville was
named one of four National Players of
the Week after he compiled 16 RBI and
hit four home runs, two of which were
grand slams, during a five-game stretch.
Milleville wins weekly honors
Stanford senior first baseman Brent
Milleville was named last week’s Pacif-
ic-10 Conference Player of the Week, as
well as one of four National Players of
the Week by the Collegiate Baseball
Newspaper and Louisville Slugger.
Milleville destroyed opponents’
pitching in his five games last week, hit-
ting a torrid .474 and scoring six runs.
His largest impact, though, was in his
display of power, as he hit four home
runs, including two grand slams, and
drove in 16 runs. In particular,
Milleville excelled in the final two
games of the Cardinal’s series with
New Mexico, driving in a career-high
seven runs on Saturday and hitting one
of his grand slams on Sunday.
The recent success is not an anomaly
for the Cardinal first baseman, though,
as he has hit .381 with 14 home runs and
47 RBI in his last 31 games, raising his
average for the season to .331. His
power surge has pushed him up to third
in the Pac-10 in RBI and fourth in
home runs. Most importantly, though,
Milleville’s increased offensive pro-
duction has coincided with Stanford’s
increased success, as the Cardinal has
gone 20-11 over those last 31 games.
The Pac-10 award was Milleville’s
first, and the CBN/LS award was
shared with San Diego State pitcher
Stephen Strasburg, Missouri outfielder
Greg Folgia and San Jose State short-
stop Kyle Bellows.
Women’s rowers sweep Cal
The Stanford women’s open-weight
rowers, fresh off an impressive sweep
of California at this year’s Big Row,
head to the Pacific-10 Conference
Championships on May 16 in hopes of
securing a conference title. The No. 1
Cardinal is poised to capture the con-
ference championship after avenging
an early loss to the Golden Bears earli-
er this year.The event lasts through the
weekend. Pac-10s are expected to pro-
vide solid preparation for the women
as they get ready for the NCAA Cham-
pionships, which begin on May 29.
Both events will be held in Gold River,
Calif.
The Stanford women’s lightweight
team was also victorious at Big Row,
defeating Cal’s third varsity eight. The
team is currently tied with Radcliffe
(Harvard) for the second spot in the
national rankings. The lightweights
head to the Pacific Coast Champi-
onships on May 16. This event is also
expected to be a stepping stone for the
team as it gears up for the Intercolle-
giate Rowing Association (IRA) Na-
tional Championships. Both regattas
will be held in Sacramento.
“The open-water win against their
open-weights was a good sign of our
progress and strength this season, but
we have room for improvement in the
next month before taking on our rivals
at nationals,” sophomore lightweight
Katherine Heflin said.

Bloodthirsty in
championships
Stanford men’s ultimate
team reaches nationals
By KENAN JIANG
STAFF WRITER
The Stanford Ultimate Fris-
bee team advanced to the nation-
al championship tournament
after a fine showing at regionals.
Bloodthirsty, the Cardinal’s
“A” team, advanced to next
week’s Ultimate Players Associa-
tion (UPA) Nationals tourna-
ment by winning the Bay Area
Sectionals in April, and then the
Northwest Regionals last week in
Corvallis, Oregon.At the section-
als, Bloodthirsty defeated its
perennial rival California on its
way to winning the tournament,
despite several shaky showings.
No. 6 Bloodthirsty started off
the Northwest Regionals against
Pacific Lutheran College and
dominated 15-3 to start off with
an easy win. The Cardinal then
won against Gonzaga 15-3 after a
strong early offensive run.Blood-
thirsty then pulled away in the
game against UC-Davis 15-7
midway through the match. Stan-
ford won 15-6 against UC-Santa
Cruz with strong zone defense
before facing Cal for the last
game, where Bloodthirsty won
12-11. While Cal got off to an
early lead, Stanford tightened its
defense and ended the half with a
4-1 run. Stanford eventually
buckled down on defense while
making some great passes and
catches to win the game.
“We knew that [the Cal] game
was going to be close and a real
battle, but we thought that our
depth would help us pull away in
the second half,” said junior team
captain Ryan Thompson.
Both teams played very tight
rotations — Stanford relied on its
Callahan (national Ultimate
MVP) candidate, coterminal stu-
dent Tom James, along with sen-
ior Chris McCarty, fifth-year
transfer student David Abram,
coterm captain Nick Schlag,
Thompson and fifth-year senior
Jacob Speidel.
On the final play, with the
game tied, Abram threw a 60-
yard pass to James, who outran
his defender to win the game.
Fresh off of its victory, Blood-
thirsty will head to the UPA Na-
tionals tournament, where it will
face off against the 20 best Ulti-
mate teams in the nation, includ-
ing No. 1 Carleton and No. 2 Col-
orado.
Stanford hopes to improve on
its third-place showings in 2005
and 2006 to achieve its first na-
tional championship since 2002.
Bloodthirsty’s quest for a title be-
gins May 21 in Columbus, Ohio.

receive PELL grants, which the fed-
eral government awards to students
whom it qualifies as low-income.
When those groups combine, the
number increases even further and
has been “guesstimated” to be
roughly around 24 percent of the
student body, Greatorex-Voith said.
“The Stanford community has
always included first-generation stu-
dents and low-income students,”
Lythcott-Haims said, “and over the
years we have developed greater
competence around understanding
the barriers they encounter and pro-
viding the resources necessary to
help them have full access to the full
set of opportunities a Stanford edu-
cation has to offer.”
Greatorex-Voith’s position has
involved looking into better prac-
tices to evaluate students’ experi-
ences holistically.
“Part of the pilot has been
research-based,” she said. “I have
been assessing what students’ needs
are, what their experiences are,
meeting with students; so, some of
the research has been more qualita-
tive. I talk to students and help con-
nect them with the resources that
are available on campus. I’ve been
more of a connector and emotional
social support in that sense.”
Greatorex-Voith also worked
with students to build communities
on campus. Among those is Next
Gen, an organization that puts on
programming across campus for
low-income and first-generation
students, and also has participants
reach out to their hometown
schools and assist students through
the application and scholarship
process.
“Siobhan, she’s . . . wow,” said
Michael McDaniels ‘08, president of
Next Gen. “I’m so happy that her
position was put in place because
prior to this, when we started last
year, there was nobody, and now we
actually have someone in the
administration who can lobby for us.
It has been a lot easier just to get
things done to gain legitimacy
because she has the legitimacy of an
administrator. I think that it also
helps that she has some extra fund-
ing, so if we want to have an event,
she can chip in.”
“I have every expectation that when the
economic crisis resolves, we will resume the
planning efforts for The Bridge Program...”
— JULIE LYTHCOTT-HAIMS ‘89,
dean of freshmen and transfers
Greatorex-Voith said she under-
stood the reasoning behind the cut.
“I think that there was the inten-
tion there that it would continue,”
she said, “but when the economy
started to go downward and they
were facing the challenge of where
to cut, they were not looking at
bringing in new budget line items
when they were needing to cut
back.”
Many students among the low-
income and first-generation com-
munity said they are worried about
the loss of Greatorex-Voith.
“We are going from someone
who is sort of a recent graduate with
a centralized understanding [and]
who’s in the office five days a week,
to someone who is not a recent
graduate, must be fulfilling multiple
roles and who will probably be in
the office maybe one day a week,”
said Heather Buckelew ‘10, who
identifies herself as both low-
income and first-generation.
Graves, who will be taking over
for Greatorex-Voith, did not return
multiple requests for comment.
Knowing that she will not be
here next year, Greatorex-Voith has
made an effort to create long-term
programming for these students.
New Student Orientation (NSO)
has been revamped to include low-
income and first-generation pro-
gramming. For the first time ever,
there will be low-income and first-
generation community coordina-
tors, as well as three community ori-
entation volunteers (COVs) to
reach out to this group at the begin-
ning of the year and create welcome
events.
Class will also be an issue that is
discussed during the NSO event
FACES. Students within the com-
munity are hopeful that increased
visibility of class differences on cam-
pus will decrease any sense of dis-
comfort or shame amongst students.
Furthermore, they hope that it will
strengthen the community and give
first-generation and low-income
students an outlet that they might
not have otherwise received.
“There are resources in commu-
nity centers, but those resources
aren’t available to everyone in the
low-income and first-generation
category,” Buckelew said. “I’m
white, for example, and can’t go to
El Centro Chicano.”
Students believe that one of the
most crucial points is that there will
be no changes to financial aid pack-
ages. Aside from financial aid, how-
ever, McDaniels said he worries for
Next Gen’s continued funding —
without Greatorex-Voith as an
advocate in the administration —
especially considering that Next
Gen is a relatively new group on
campus.
In spite of un-renewed positions
and holds on programming, there is
still hope amongst administrators
for continued support of low-income
and first-generation students.
“Commitment is still there, and
the commitment to this community
is still there,” Greatorex-Voith said.
“What our goal continues to be is
to create a welcoming environment
to all of our students and under-
standing that students from different
backgrounds will have different
experiences at Stanford, and we
want to make sure that we are
addressing their transition to
Stanford,” Dickson said. “This also
allows us to be thinking of socio-eco-
nomic class in a very thoughtful way
and to recognize that students from
this community can add so much
value to the experience for all
Stanford students.”

Stockton joins Defense Dept.
CISAC member Paul Stockton will
bring expertise to Asst. Secretary job
By ERIC MESSINGER
DESK EDITOR
Paul Stockton, a senior research scholar for home-
land security at Stanford’s Center for International
Security and Cooperation (CISAC), is President
Obama’s nominee for Assistant Secretary for Defense
in charge of Homeland Defense and America’s
Security Affairs.
Stockton will testify tomorrow before the United
States Armed Services Committee.
President Obama was enthusiastic about the choice,
which comes along with the nomination of HIV expert
Eric Goosby to the State Department.
“The American people will be well-served by the
addition of these skilled and dedicated individuals,”
Obama said in a White House press release. “They will
be valued voices in my administration, and I’m confi-
dent they will work to the greatest of their ability as we
work to tackle the challenges ahead of us and keep the
American people safe.
“I look forward to working with them in the coming
months and years,” Obama added.
Stockton’s responsibilities are aligned with his
research interests, which include homeland security
and responses to changing security threats.
CISAC co-Director Lynn Eden praised the
appointment.
“I’ve known Paul for a long time,” Eden said. “He’s
a very capable administrator: very strategic, able to set
priorities well and able to implement well.
“He also has tremendous political skills,” she added.

Cornfield named president of

David Cornfield, chief of pulmonary, allergy and crit-
ical care medicine at Lucile Packard Children’s
Hospital, has been elected president of the Society for
Pediatric Research (SPR).
According to a press release, Cornfield will begin
work this month and serve a one-year term.
Cornfield is also a pediatrics and pulmonary medi-

Stockton’s appointment is one of a number of high-
profile moves from CISAC to government in recent
history. Currently, three members of CISAC serve on
either the National Security Council or the White
House Domestic Policy Council, including senior
research scholar Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, CISAC
faculty member and Law Prof. Mariano-Florentino
Cuellar and former CISAC post-doctoral fellow and
Political Science Prof. Michael McFaul, who has main-
tained ties with the organization.
Despite this, Eden said that CISAC did not put par-
ticular emphasis upon government appointments.
“Being on the West Coast, it is not our main aim to
get people to Washington,” Eden said. “We’re very
proud and pleased when this happens, but it’s not a
measure of our merit.”
Eden also emphasized that she had no worries
about organizational continuity.
“We have a very stable crew,” she said.
Stockton’s CISAC colleagues expressed strong con-
fidence in him as an appointee.
“Paul Stockton is a superb choice,” said Scott Sagan,
political science prof. and CISAC co-director, in an
email to the Daily.
“He has deep substantive knowledge of the many
national and homeland security challenges we face
today, has worked closely with both the U.S. military
and with foreign military officers through his position
at the Naval Postgraduate School, and excelled as a
staff member on Capitol Hill,” Sagan added. “Paul
Stockton is an excellent example of a talented CISAC
scholar-practitioner — following in the tradition of
William Perry — who leaves Stanford for the
Pentagon to help serve the country.”
Stockton has been working on Stanford’s campus
for the past three years.

“It’s a great honor to be chosen by the Society mem-

entists.”
Cornfield will also continue to serve at Packard,
which he thinks will fit well with his new role.
“The goals of Packard Children’s Hospital, the

“I think it would be an enormous
step forward for the gay rights
movement to have an out lesbian on
the Court,” Rhode said. “I think it
would help break stereotypes and
legitimate their qualifications and
legitimate their normality.”
“Certainly having a role model
on the caliber of Kathleen Sullivan
or Pamela Karlan for the nation to
see can only be for the best,” she
added.
Rhode acknowledged that an
actual nomination for either, or for
any openly homosexual person,
would put the nominee under a
great deal of scrutiny.
“It would take a personal toll,”
Rhode said. “It sets them up on the
receiving end for a lot of hate mail.”
Rhode cited her own memories

the world is and where it should be
is the difficulty, Shultz argued.
According to Shultz, the power
of ought is “the idea that you have a
vision out there — a place you
should go — and how complicated
it is in getting there.”
Throughout his speech, Shultz
rooted this assertion in his own life
experiences. Among his many
achievements, Shultz served as
Secretary of the Treasury and
Secretary of State under Richard
Nixon and Ronald Reagan, respec-
tively.
Outside of the political arena,
Shultz has also worked as an aca-
demic and businessman. He is cur-
rently professor emeritus of inter-
national economics at the Graduate
School of Business and a distin-
guished fellow at the Hoover
Institution.
In his speech, Shultz frequently
referred to his experience as
tion of current Justice Thurgood
Marshall, the first African American
to serve on the Court, for whom she
clerked.
“I think it certainly adds a level of
vulnerability to the nominee,”
Rhode said. “But it also is an oppor-
tunity to do something that is a land-
mark.”
“[The level of controversy]
wouldn’t be unprecedented,” she
added.
Students within Stanford’s LGBT
community are enthusiastic about
the possibility of the first homosexu-
al Court nominee. Jamie Tam ‘10, an
organizer with the Queer-Straight
Alliance and the Emma Goldman
Society for Queer Liberation, feels
the move would have great signifi-
cance.
“The advancement of LGBT life
would be tremendous if there were
an openly queer person on the
Court,” Tam said.
Tam also noted that Sullivan or
Karlan’s “would do a lot for the
queer women’s movement, which is
often marginalized.”
Laura Wadden ‘09, a leader of the
Secretary of State to explain how
individuals can work to transform
“what is” into “what ought to be.”
Shultz used the Reagan-Gorbachev
vision of a nonnuclear world as an
example of an ideal that has been
achieved.
For Shultz, the Cold War repre-
sented a time in which many
thought that mutually assured
destruction protected nations from
nuclear destruction. Having served
behind the lines, he stated that
there were “too many close calls”
for this tense state to feasibly con-
tinue.
Shultz strongly argued, “People
don’t have disputes because they
have weapons — they have weapons
because they have disputes.”
For him, the peaceful resolution
between the Soviet Union and the
United States, made possible
through diplomacy and coopera-
tion, highlighted the “interactive
process between the vision and the
things you need to do to achieve the
vision.”
“Obviously, his big message was:
we always have to be looking at
how things are and how they ought
Emma Goldman Society, agreed on
the particular significance of having
a member of the homosexual com-
munity on the Court.
“I would say it’s different to have
someone advocate on your behalf
than it is to have someone who is
one of you,” Wadden said.
Wadden said her respect for
Karlan also predates her knowledge
of her personal life.
“I’ve seen Pamela Karlan lecture
a bunch of times, and I actually did-
n’t know she was out until this news
broke,” Wadden said. “I’ve always
been really impressed with her.”
Sam King ‘10, an active member
in the LGBT community, said there
was the potential for a significant
step to be made.
“This is definitely a unique histor-
ical opportunity,” King said. “It
might not happen, but I’m optimistic
about it.”
Segura also expressed doubt
about the likelihood that President
Obama would choose a homosexual
nominee, citing the administration’s
unwillingness to engage on hot-but-
ton gay rights issues in other areas,
to be,” Oliver Ennis ‘11 said of
Shultz’s speech. “He always had the
‘ought’ insight guiding his actions.”
Although the audience left with
a clear understanding of Shultz’s
message, many spectators had
entered unsure of what to expect
from the lecture.
“I came in with no expectations,”
said Neth Walker, a graduate stu-
dent in geological and environmen-
tal sciences. “I think I’ve been here
long enough to know that a lot of
times it’s hard to tell what some-
body is going to speak about.”
“That being said, I was
impressed by the message that he
offered and the hope that he
offered for the future,” Walker
added.
Ennis also commended Shultz’s
insight as a leader.
“Because he had a clear idea of
where he wanted to go, it really
helped him develop a clear objec-
tive along the way on how to get
there,” Ennis said. “I’m just very
grateful to have been able to hear
