STAFF WRITER
Gary Hirshberg, CEO of Stonyfield Farm, spoke
Tuesday at a “Brown Bag Lunch” held by the Entre-
preneurship Club, the Food and Agriculture Manage-
ment (FARM) Club and the Sustainable Business
Club. Hirshberg expanded on his company’s business
strategy and vision in sustainability.
“Business was always about something or some-
body losing,” Hirshberg said.
Hirshberg said his ambition to create an enterprise
that didn’t destroy the earth drove Stonyfield Farm’s
growth from a small organic farming school to its cur-
rent $360 million in annual sales.
Stonyfield tracks and reduces its carbon footprint,
employs organic farming and uses alternative adver-
tising to create a yogurt company with what Hirshberg
calls, “win-win-win capitalism.”
“Organics really is the solution to much of what ails
our nation and our planet’s food supply,” Hirshberg
said. “We’re not going to solve the climate crisis by
slowing down net carbon output; we have to start trap-
ping carbon molecules in soils.”
Stonyfield developed the “Mission Action Pro-
gram” to manage their footprint beyond just carbon
emissions to include facility energy, waste to incinera-
tor and plastic and water usage. Since 2006, the Mis-
sion Action Program has saved Stonyfield $18.2 mil-
lion, according to Hirshberg.

Senate approves campaign spending cap
By KURT CHIRBAS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
A bill passed by the ASSU Undergraduate
Senate on Tuesday night will restrict the amount of
money that can be used to campaign in class pres-
ident elections,setting the cap at $400 per slate.The
legislation is a scaled-down version of a bill pre-
sented last week,which previously included a $100
spending limit in Senate races.
Prior to voting unanimously in favor for the bill,
many senators expressed concerns about treating
Senate races in the same way as class president
races. Senator-elect Daniel DeLong ‘13 said he

Anscombe Society debuts on Farm
Group’s first event,“Marriage Without Adjectives,” sparks controversy
By MARWA FARAG
DESK EDITOR
The newly established Stanford
Anscombe Society (SAS) hosted its first
event,titled “Marriage Without Adjectives,”
on Tuesday night. Former Hoover Fellow
Jennifer Roback Morse, the founder of the
Ruth Institute, delivered the kickoff talk.
According to the official SAS descrip-
tion,the group “is a non-politically and non-
religiously affiliated student group that fos-
ters campus thought regarding the roles of
the family, marriage, sexual ethics, chastity
and sexuality in the lives of Stanford stu-
dents.”
Morse,an affiliate of the Love and Fideli-
ty Network (which includes SAS), said the
network encompasses student organiza-
tions of “young adults who have made it
their mission to say something new about
human sexuality.”
The student network also promotes ab-
stinence before marriage across 35 college
campuses.
Morse’s 40-minute speech prompted an
active question and answer session.She em-
phasized the importance of bringing the di-
alogue to youth at college campuses.
Morse defined marriage as “an organic,

worried that the bill was centered too heavily
around self-reporting.
“You are relying on the trust of politicians and
I think that’s really problematic,” DeLong said.
In response, ASSU President Angelina Car-
dona ‘11,who co-authored the bill,said she would-
n’t call the candidates politicians.
“I’d call them students,” Cardona said. “And
that’s the Stanford nature even if you look at our
Honor Code.”
But Cardona noted that she was open to other
ideas about reforming Senate elections.
“I personally have never run for Senate,” she
said.“I have run for class president. I have run for

naturally occurring social institution” with
the sole purposes of “sexual activity,spousal
love and child rearing.”
“Marriage is the linchpin of society . . .
and young people need accurate informa-
tion about the big picture,” she said.
This definition of marriage proved con-
tentious to some audience members when
discussed in the context of same sex mar-
riages.
“The children of same-sex unions will ei-
ther be deprived of one of their parents, or
have three parents in their lives playing
parental roles,” Morse said. “When courts
say there is a right to same-sex marriage,
what they have to do is redefine the purpose
of marriage.”
Morse described the Love and Fidelity
Network as a response to relatively new
trends in sexuality on college campuses.Her
speech also tackled other problems she be-
lieves have been created by the “sexual rev-
olution” of the past 40 years.
“One of the first and most destructive
steps was the ‘no fault’ divorce,”she said,re-
ferring to the passing of the 1970 divorce
laws.
“It made people unhappy and perpetu-
ated injustices against women,men and chil-
dren alike,” she added.

guys.”
Senator Will Seaton ‘13 suggested splitting the
bill into two parts: one for the cap on class presi-
dent races and another for the cap on Senate races.
Instead, Cardona motioned for a straw poll,
which ended up showing that a majority of the
Senators preferred creating a public financing op-
tion for Senate candidates instead of a spending
cap. She decided to strike the language of the bill
that referred to Senate races. The Senate passed
the bill after this revision.

Morse saw similarities between this shift
in marriage regulations and the current is-
sues surrounding same sex marriage.
“The shift to ‘no fault’ divorce was not a
minor change, but a huge social shift . . .
same sex marriage changes the structure of
marriage more profoundly than ‘no fault’
divorce,” she said.
This social shift, she argued, was the dis-
solution of the family unit, leading to an ex-
pansion of the powers of the state. Morse
believed that involving the courts “in the
minutia of family life is hardly the behavior
of a free society”and that “no fault”divorce
has blurred the boundaries between public
and private lives.
Morse’s talk objected to the “intrusion”
of the state into the private sphere,the shift-
ing focus of family law and the high cost to
the taxpayer of “social pathologies” that re-
sults from family breakdown.
Questions addressed teaching responsi-
ble parenting in school, same-sex adoption,
nontraditional sexual practices within het-
erosexual marriages and the contradiction
between discouraging pre-marital sex and
banning same-sex marriages.

School of Medicine reports
on off-label prescribing
By BILLY GALLAGHER
DESK EDITOR
Two studies from the School of
Medicine, published Monday in An-
nals of Internal Medicine, revealed
that an expensive blood-clotting
drug intended only for hemophilia
patients has been mainly prescribed
for patients without this disorder.
This practice, however, may pose
certain health risks.
The first study looked at uses of
the drug, known as recombinant fac-
tor 7a (RF7a), at American hospi-
tals. RF7a, approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in 1999, was developed for a
small group of hemophilia patients
whose bodies reject other treat-
ments to curtail bleeding.
Veronica Yank, an instructor in
medicine and the first author of one
of the studies, said researchers were
surprised to find that the drug was
prescribed off-label. More than
17,000 patients without hemophilia
received the drug in 2008 to prevent
or stop heavy bleeding.
Off-label prescribing is a com-
mon practice where doctors use a
drug to treat conditions other than
those approved by the FDA. The
practice is not illegal, but Yank said
many patients and doctors fail to un-
derstand that drugs do not have the
same level of scrutiny for off-label
uses as they have for on-label uses.
The study estimates that the drug
was only used to treat hemophilia
patients in 4 percent of cases in U.S.
hospitals from 2000 to 2008. A stag-
gering 96 percent of RF7a usage in-
volved cases of heart surgery, trau-
ma, intracranial hemorrhages
(bleeding in or near the brain) and a
host of other problems.
Previously published studies
raised concerns that RF7a increased
the risk of blood clots, spurring the
U.S. Agency for Healthcare Quality
and Research (AHRQ) to ask re-
searchers to examine the drug in
2008. The agency funded both Stan-
ford studies.
The second study examined the
risks and benefits of prescribing
RF7a for five particular patient sce-
narios or conditions: heart surgery,

tising, Stonyfield found its way onto
the shelves of stores such as Whole
Foods that have more of a “toler-
ance for novelty,” Hirshberg said.
Stonyfield now ranks third in
the United States’ yogurt market
shares, just beyond Dannon and
Yoplait.
Forgoing most traditional ad-
vertising, Hirshberg explained that
Stonyfield began using packaging
to convey its story and values. Mil-
lions of the company’s lids display
environmental messages and caus-
es they have aligned with to pro-
mote education and advocacy. So-
cial media and blogger outreach
have also become effective adver-
tising for the company.
Hirshberg spoke specifically
about two aspects of the food indus-
try he believes are in need of closer
scrutiny: genetically modified foods
and government subsidies.
He said developing countries
with high population pressure and
limited resources cannot invest in
genetically modified foods to ex-
pand their nation’s food base be-
cause the promise of genetically
modified foods in increasing yields
has not yet been proven.
Hirshberg also added that subsi-
dies have to end in the United
States because they make organic
food unaffordable.
At an individual company level,
Hirshberg advocated closing this
price margin by increasing produc-
tion. Increased consumer demand
allows Stonyfield to increase vol-
ume, which increases efficiency and
lowers the price.
Hirshberg acknowledged that
some people believe organic food is
a niche with little prospect of in-
creasing consumer demand. But
market data seems counter this.
“The organic market has grown
at 20 percent annually, even
through the recession,” he said.
“The ultimate way we should
buy is local and organic,” Hirshberg
said.
However, he cautioned that
people should not cite reduced car-
bon footprint as a reason to choose
local foods over organic consump-
tion. Transportation of finished
goods accounts for six to seven per-
cent of total carbon footprint,
whereas the method by which
they’re grown accounts for 40 to 50
percent.
“I know I could bring organic
dried milk from New Zealand to
New Hampshire for a lesser carbon
footprint than bringing milk from
New York,” Hirshberg said. “Food
miles is not the issue; the issue is
what kind of toxicity do you want to
eliminate in the biosphere.”
Kellee Patterson, a first year
MBA student at the Graduate
School of Business, thought the talk
appealed to “people who are inter-
ested in sustainability as a strategy
while still wanting to remain rele-
vant in the marketplace.”

intracranial hemorrhage, body and

“We found no evidence to sug-
gest that this particular drug saves
lives for any of the scenarios that we
evaluated,”Yank said.
They also found evidence that
use of the drug in these conditions
significantly increased the risk of
blood clots, particularly for cardiac
surgery and bleeding in or around
the brain. These clots can lead to
heart attacks or strokes near the
clot.

same-sex marriage legalization,
Morse drew a parallel with the Roe v.
Wade decision on abortion. She did
not “accept that same sex marriage is
inevitable,”and offered two support-
ing claims.
The first claim was that same sex
marriage’s advances had been made
in the courts not on the ballot. The
second claim had to do with the
Supreme Court’s 1973 decision “that
abortion on demand was going to be
the law of the land,” she said.
“At the time, the advocates for
abortion said the younger genera-
tion was going to support abortion
readers is the example of heart sur-
gery,”Yank said.“The risk of clots is
increased by 5 percent with the use
of this drug. That means if 20 pa-
tients are given the drug, one would
be expected to suffer a blood clot
that would not have otherwise oc-
curred.”
The drug is also very expensive,
ringing in at an estimated $10,000
per dose.
The authors say RF7a is a good
example of what happens when doc-
tors increasingly use a “wonder”
drug for uses distinctly different
than its original purpose.
“We want doctors and hospitals
to be having serious conversations
about whether this drug should be
prescribed for these indications,”
Yank said.
The other Stanford co-authors of
on the Constitutional Council.
If approved by the GSC, Kannap-
pan will hand in her resignation to the
Senate and replace Brianna Pang ‘13,
who resigned after being elected to
the 13th Undergraduate Senate, as
elected officials cannot serve concur-
rently in both positions.
“Deepa is extremely level-head-
ed,” Cardona said. “I think she’s
thoughtful. I think she looks at both
sides of things and is also obviously
brilliant. Needless to say, I think she
will do a great job continuing her serv-
ice there.”
She added that it was important to
find a replacement quickly because
the Council must rule on whether or
not it will hear pending cases.

stepped down from his current Sen-
ate position as well. He will enter of-
rights . . . That has turned out to be
largely untrue,” Morse said. “It’s
taken a period of time for the full
brutality of the abortion regime to
become obvious to people. I think
something is similar of same sex mar-
riage.”
The conversation, which drifted
into highly sensitive and controver-
sial topics, remained calm through-
out the session.
“I’m very pleased to see a civil
discussion that still gets to the heart
of the issues,” music professor
George Barth said.“I was very inter-
ested to hear what she had to say, es-
pecially with such divergent groups
represented in the audience.”
SAS Co-founder Bernard Van-
Berkum ‘14 saw the dialogue itself as
a reason for the group’s foundation.
“In a lot of the campus conversa-
tion there’s this atmosphere that isn’t
really a debate,” he said. “There are
nonreligious reasons to say that
same-sex marriage isn’t something
that makes sense and Stanford stu-
dents need to hear this.”
VanBerkum, who wrote an edito-
rial in the Stanford Review titled
“Defending Traditional Marriage,”
recognized that SAS will face signifi-
cant opposition.
“If you look at the ROTC debate,
it was largely two very vocal minori-
ties and most students didn’t really
care,” he said. “For this, at first, it’ll
probably be us, SSQL [Stanford Stu-
dents for Queer Liberation] and a
bunch of students who don’t have
time to care.”
Opponents of the group object to
both its views and its presence on
campus.

“Optimally, everybody should be
allowed to be a student group, but

very upsetting that a homophobic,

Thompson also worried that the
group’s polarization of the dialogue

“I’m virtually speechless,”
Williams said. “Never have I seen or
participated in or heard of hosting an

“The preview in the Stanford Re-

Stanford.
There’s no use debating it: un-
dergraduate enrollment in comput-
er science classes is booming.While
the number of students has in-
creased by a steady 20 percent an-
nually since 2007, the interest is ac-
celerating.This quarter, enrollment
in CS 106A, the first introductory
course for the computer science
major, is up an astounding 120 per-
cent from the same time last year.
Many other computer science class-
es have nearly doubled in size as
well, and the department has even
had to cap enrollment in some
upper-division courses.This is sure-
ly worrying news to Vice Provost
for Undergraduate Education
Harry Elam Jr., who is quoted by
The Daily in an article from Mon-
day that the University has redou-
bled efforts to encourage student
enrollment in the humanities.
Part of this trend is undoubtedly
due to the resurgence of the market
for techies, and CS majors in partic-
ular. Certainly, employers’ insa-
tiable demand and the promise of
high-paying jobs after graduation
encourage many students to con-
sider entering the field. Yet, it’s too
easy to write off such a monumental
shift as a response to starry-eyed
freshmen hoping to be the next
Zuckerbergs.
It is telling that many students
take CS 106A to fulfill the engineer-
ing and applied sciences GER, only
to fall in love with the class and
switch majors. CS106A professor
Eric Roberts has even recounted
instances in which seniors taking his
course in their last quarter have dis-
covered such an affinity for the ma-
terial that they express their regret
at not having discovered it sooner.
Of the more than 2000 reviews of
CS 106A on CourseRank, the aver-
age rating is 4.5/5 stars; by compari-
son,IHUM ratings center around 2-
3 stars. Could it be that CS courses

are simply better taught or more in-
teresting than their fuzzy counter-
parts?
Stanford is also far from pulling
up its roots as the provider of a
broad, liberal education. Despite
having generally greater unit re-
quirements for their majors, all
techies must still take at least seven
quarters of humanities (three in
IHUM, two in PWR, one in a class
that fulfills the Humanities GER,
and one in an EC), while Stanford
only requires three techie classes
(one each in math, natural science
and engineering). Even then, many
fuzzies opt for one of many easy op-

coveted introsems,and might never
even enter a research lab,shop class,

cline of the humanities, we should
also encourage fuzzies to take more
than a perfunctory course load in
the hard sciences.
To be sure, the humanities will
never become an obsolete part of a
Stanford education, and the Uni-
versity is right to keep an eye on
their declining popularity.Yet,let us
not believe for a second that our
techies are all Deresiewiczian
sheep,slouching “toward a glorified

Sustainability and Aviation
I
t’s Earth Day this Friday, which
makes this an apt time to share
my thoughts on sustainable trav-
el. Anyone who can read a ther-
mometer can tell you that our cli-
mate is warming, and the science is
not out on thermometers. Green-
house gas emissions are the main
culprit — this means tailpipes, man-
ufacturing, heating/cooling, agricul-
ture and of course, flying.
A 2006 IPCC report predicts a
149 percent increase in air traffic by
2030, which under all scenarios is
going to produce nearly twice as
much carbon dioxide by the avia-
tion industry, even with technologi-
cal innovations. We need to analyze
this figure further to see that air
travel, despite its increase, only
plays a small part of our overall
emissions. Comparing numbers, the
aviation industry uses 3 percent of
fossil fuels worldwide, while the en-
tire transportation sector uses 20-25
percent. Yes, flying causes carbon
dioxide emissions. No, not flying
will not even nearly solve our
greenhouse gas emissions problem.
If we want to talk mitigating cli-
mate change, the discussion is much
larger than aviation.Air transport is
not an inconsequential part of our
emissions, but I’m a little tired of the
finger pointing at travelers. It also
accounts for roughly 8 percent of
global GDP — so it’s a net winner
when compared to other industries
in terms of emissions. I remain con-
vinced that the cultural exchange
that results from traveling far out-
weighs the environmental impacts,
which we can mitigate.
Aside from the carbon dioxide
emissions of air travel, the environ-
mental impact of flying is quite con-
tentious. Recent attention on the
impacts of contrails suggests that it
is significantly more due to cirrus
cloud formation. Contrails of water
vapor form when the hot, moist air
from engine exhaust cools in the
cold air during cruise. Though they
last in the atmosphere for a much
shorter time than carbon dioxide, a
new paper from Nature Climate
Change by Burkhardt and Karcher
suggests that the effect of contrails
causes much larger net warming
than the carbon dioxide emitted by

aircraft. This research was pub-
lished less than a month ago, and al-
though it remains full of uncertain-
ties, there is possibly a more signifi-
cant climate warming effect from
flying than originally thought. Jet
engine technology could be inno-
vated so that water condenses out
of exhaust or flight paths could
avoid areas of high ice saturation.
Regardless, buying carbon-offset
credits for your flight has never
been a better idea.
Nonetheless, air travel is a small
part in comparison to the environ-
mental challenges we face for the
future. I propose we work along
with the travel industry to make it
more environmentally sustainable.
It is important to note the inno-
vations that the airline industry has
made to date.A 2007 Corporate Re-
sponsibility Report from Delta
highlights recycling of plastics, cans
and other in flight materials, tech-
nology improvements allowing for
quieter, cleaner, more fuel efficient
engines, with a 10 percent increase
over the past decade, installation of
winglets increasing fuel efficiency
by 4 percent and recycled paper and
soy ink is used on printed materials.
The way that the country flies
has also changed. Single engine taxi
is a common practice, especially
after landing. Electric baggage han-
dling vehicles are becoming all the
rage. Continuous descent ap-
proaches instead of the stair-step
descent save on average 60 gallons
of fuel per flight. Air traffic con-
trollers are becoming more efficient
at routing planes, and we are build-
ing LEED-certified terminals, such
as the Boston Logan Terminal A
and our very own San Francisco
Terminal 2.
Yet there is still a ways to go. For
starters, the aviation industry is
quite literally locked into using
kerosene-based fuels for at least the
next 30 years due to the slow rate of
technological innovation.Recycling
is often voluntary for flight atten-
dants, and some airports are not
even equipped to sort trash. An
A380 is more fuel-efficient than a
hybrid car, but that’s only if it’s full.
And I doubt you drive 6500 nautical
miles in your Prius everyday. The
externality of carbon dioxide emis-
sions must be incorporated into the
price of travel.
There are several options, one of
which is to crawl back into the cave
so to speak, by ceasing to travel.We
can perpetuate cultural rifts while
we falsely convince ourselves of
making huge progress combating
climate change, or we can think of
solutions. Maybe I’ve been blinded
by the sunlight at 34,000 feet, but in
my opinion the answer is not neces-
sarily travelling less — it is travel-
ling responsibly. It’s a carbon offset
in the price of the ticket. It’s lower
carbon alternative fuels, subsidies
for drastic innovations in aircraft
and engine design. It’s collabora-
tion between environmentalists,
policy makers and innovative in-
dustry professionals.
If all else fails, just take a vaca-
tion and know that I’ve got your
back.

heard someone say the first week is the
hardest,” my best friend at Stanford
told me a couple days before I was sup-
posed to leave. “Why?” I asked. “I don’t
know, that’s just what I heard,” she told me.
I brushed off the warning with a mere
shrug. I should have heeded the warning
but little could have been done to prepare
myself. Accepted into the program late, I
had less than 12 days, when others had
months, to make a decision whether or not
to go.To say the least, it was the hardest de-
cision I’ve made to date. I took a lot of ad-
vice from people who had previously been
abroad who spouted the benefits of going
out of the country and the wonderful time
they had but failed to mention the reality
of the first week. If you had asked me last
week how I had felt, I would have said I re-
gretted my decision. Now, after a weekend
in the wonderful port city of Valparaiso, I
love the life in Chile.
Arriving in Chile with fairly insufficient
Spanish language proficiency, getting from
the airport was like climbing Mount Ever-
est. Once actually in the country, I wanted
to kick myself for deluding myself into
guess what they are talking about. After
going through a weeklong slump where I
didn’t want to go out and didn’t talk to peo-
ple, I sat down determined and began to
write a list of words that would help me get
by day to day.Words I had to memorize in-
cluded:
-manuel montt (my train station and the
direction in which to get home because I
was perpetually getting lost)
-pololo (the word for boyfriend. I kept
saying novio and people thought I was en-
gaged)
-lata (boring)
-cachai (you understand?)
-lolo (teenager)
-luca (a form of money, equivalent to
four dollars)
-practica (internship)

days to say full sentences without long
pauses, um’s or mumbling. I was proud of

mean a nutrition regimen or a way of eating. I
do not use “diet” in the sense that it is most
often used (especially by young women) to
refer to caloric restriction for the purpose of
losing weight. Henceforth, that interpretation
of “diet” shall be referred to as “starvation
diet.”
Starvation diets cannot be sustained, are
psychologically and physically counterpro-
ductive and have no place in a healthy
lifestyle. Dramatic caloric reductions kill
your metabolism and effectively cause your
body to eat itself, breaking down your own
muscle to feed your survival needs. When
you attempt to return to a “normal” diet,
your body will be quick to pack on fat in case
you decide to starve it again. Make healthy
choices an element of who you are, and don’t
treat a starvation stint as a quick fix for the
weekend pizza binge.
On to the lean meat and sweet potatoes!
Frequency:
I believe that meal frequency is extreme-
ly important. It makes sense that your body
will perform optimally when it is fed fre-
quent, small and high quality meals. Eating
on an individual and on the fitness goal. I
don’t recommend counting calories. Calorie
counting can become obsessive, and is al-
most impossible to do accurately.
Quantity:
The first and most important rule in de-
termining meal size is to practice “intuitive
eating.” The idea is simply to listen to your
body. Eat when you’re hungry. Eat slowly,
and enjoy the food. Stop when you’re full.
This seems so simple, but is shockingly diffi-
cult at times. Waiting until you’re “hungry”
does not mean waiting until you are doubled
over with cramps. Conversely, it does not
mean “boredom hunger.” I used to eat mind-
lessly to take a break from work, or because
people around me were eating. It’s a worth-
while challenge to learn how to feed your
body when it actually needs nutrients.
Knowing when to stop eating is equally
important. Accept that it is not necessary to
finish everything on your plate. When you
are serving yourself buffet style, take small
portions and come back for more if you’re

Kenny Diekroeger homered,
Lonnie Kauppila had three RBI
and the Stanford offense showed
signs of life as the Cardinal got a
much-needed win Tuesday, a 10-3
victory at Santa Clara.
The Cardinal (17-12, 3-6 Pac-
10) entered the game having lost
five of six and had been struggling
mightily at the plate, mustering just
five total runs while being swept by
Oregon State last weekend.
Diekroeger wasted no time getting
the Cardinal on the board, driving
a three-run home run, his second of
the season, over the left-field fence
in the top of the first inning. He
also tacked on an RBI triple later
in the game.The sophomore short-
stop, who is widely considered the
de facto leader of the Stanford of-
fense, entered the game with just
two hits in his last 23 at-bats.
Santa Clara (14-19) got right
back in the game in the bottom of
the first on a two-out two-run home
run by senior catcher Patrick Terry.
The homer came off Stanford soph-
omore pitcher Dean McArdle, who
got the start on Tuesday despite
being Stanford’s Sunday starter all
season, which may indicate that
head coach Mark Marquess is con-
sidering shifting his rotation
around. McArdle (5-2) hadn’t got-
ten out of the third inning in his
previous two starts. Yesterday he
went three innings, allowing just
the two runs on two hits with three
strikeouts to earn the win.
Redshirt junior Joe Supple took
the loss for the Broncos. Supple
went two innings and allowed four
runs on three hits.
Stanford’s pitching got a boost
yesterday as junior Brian Busick,
one of the team’s top pitchers last

SPORTS BRIEFS
Softball wins seventh
straight
The Stanford softball team is
getting hot at the right time. The
10th-ranked Cardinal won its sev-
enth consecutive game yesterday, a
6-1 win at Pacific.
Stanford (31-8, 5-3 Pac-10)
scored three unearned runs in the
top of the first inning — two on a
two-out single by freshman right
fielder Michelle Prong — and
never looked back. The Cardinal
tacked on two more runs in the sec-
ond inning, the first coming on a
leadoff home run by junior third
baseman Jenna Becerra.
Sophomore righthander Teagan
Gerhart (17-6) picked up the win in
the circle for the Cardinal. She went
six innings and allowed one run on
four hits while striking out eight.
Nikki Armagost (13-9) got the loss
for the Tigers, who dropped to 27-15
with the loss.
Stanford will look to continue its
five-game conference win streak
when it travels to rival Cal this
weekend for a three-game series
beginning Thursday.

Explaining

finances
W
ith several ques-
tions still swirling in
the air following
our investigative
report on Stan-
ford’s Orange Bowl finances, I decid-
ed to use my column this week to clar-
ify the issues that the story raised.
As a quick refresher, the report
was the result of a month-long inves-
tigation conducted by Ellora Israni, a
Daily staff writer, and myself. The
goal of the story was to ascertain how
much money Stanford gained or lost
from participating in the Orange
Bowl and to put that figure into the
context of what other schools made
or lost from their BCS games. The
final result, in a nutshell, was that
Stanford broke even on the Orange
Bowl (according to the athletic de-
partment), placing it right in the mid-
dle in terms of profit among the rest
of the BCS teams.We also noted that
Stanford declined to provide finan-
cial documentation, so the figure of
zero net income was not independ-
ently verified.
Through feedback from individ-
ual readers,comments on our website
and comments from a post on
ESPN’s Pac-10 blog that extracted
the profit and loss figures for BCS
teams from our story, I gathered that
readers primarily desired clarifica-
tion on two topics. First, it was vague
at best what exactly the term “unsold
tickets” referred to.As many Oregon
fans pointed out, the BCS National
Championship Game was filled to
the rafters with fans, with resale web-
sites and brokers selling tickets for
well above their face values. Howev-
er,we reported (and later corroborat-
ed by publishing Oregon’s bowl ex-
pense report) that the Ducks paid
$555,575 to absorb 1,761 tickets.
Second, to clear any uncertainty, I
will detail the process we went
through in making our calculations of
the profit and loss figures that we
published for the eight public schools
that participated in the BCS, last
year’s Orange Bowl participants and
the Pac-10’s two non-BCS bowl
teams.
Let’s start with the tickets that
went “unsold”or were “absorbed”by
individual schools. In our report, we
did not intend for the term “unsold”
to mean that the university in ques-
tion tried to sell those tickets on the
open market and were unable to find
buyers. Rather, it means simply that
the school did not sell a certain quan-
tity of tickets. Indeed, some of those
tickets did go unsold because the
school could not find buyers — hav-
ing attended the Orange Bowl in per-
son, I know that there were large sec-
tions of empty seats at that game.
However,the quantity of “unsold”
tickets also includes the tickets that a
school kept for its own use. Under
current BCS bowl contracts, schools
do not get any free tickets; they must
pay for every single one that is not
sold to a buyer, including the ones
they choose not to sell. In Oregon’s
case, I am fairly confident that the
1,761 unsold tickets were kept by the
school for its own uses, such as the
marching band, prominent adminis-
trators and alumni and family mem-
bers of the players (to name a few).
Unfortunately for Oregon, it had to
pay for the privilege of using these
seats,and it ultimately cost it a chance
to make a profit on playing in the na-
tional title game.
As far as calculating profit and loss
figures, we gathered data on the 12
teams we published financial data for
in three ways:through our own open-
records requests,financial documents
obtained from student newspapers at
other universities and published news
reports from professional media out-
lets that included profit or loss figures.
In each case, the published profit
figure was calculated by taking the
school’s reported revenue (listed on
the top of the first page of their
NCAA expense report) and subtract-
ing from that figure its expenses (list-
ed on the bottom of the first page of
that report). To get the final number,
we added back in any tickets ab-
sorbed by a school’s conference, so
that the final figure reflected only the
tickets that individual schools had to
directly pay for themselves.
I hope that this explanation clears
up any lingering doubts surrounding

“Nada es gratis en Chile” (noth-
ing is free in Chile) was an intense
lesson to learn.The bathrooms here
cost 300 pesos, which is less than a
dollar. Some bathrooms really get
you because they don’t cost to use
the bathroom, but once you are in
the stall, they don’t have toilet tis-
sue, and you have to go buy them
from the front. Most people apply
for the Santiago study abroad pro-
gram because they think their dol-
lar will go farther in Chile, and
sometimes they are even told by
past participants that their dollar
will go farther. It won’t. It is expen-
sive, especially when you decide to
travel places on top of being in an-
other country. Just assume you will
spend a significant amount of
money when you leave the country
and you won’t be disappointed with
the amount of money you don’t see
in your bank account.
Yet, with all the weird aspects of
Santiago — insane amounts of
PDA, palta (avocado) y mayonnesa

order and the high number of stray
dogs — Chile is a wonderful place.
