the santa clara winter quarter week 5

Local companies hire a diverse spread of graduates

Robert WearA!!"#$%&' R'(")&')

The Silicon Valley is leading the rest of the country out of the reces-sion with increased jobs, income and initial public o!erings last year, ac-cording to a new regional report.

Russel Hancock, president of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, said that with 92,000 new jobs in a year, the region is “back to what we haven’t seen since the dot com.”

With the rapidly growing num-ber of new startups in the area, the job hunt has become slightly less stressful. Many of these brand new companies are looking to fill entry-

level positions with recent graduates that have diverse academic back-grounds. Many of them are open to hiring students that have degrees in liberal arts and other less specific disciplines. Apple and Google hire

more Santa Clara graduates into non-technical, than into technical positions, according to Elspeth Ros-setti, director of the Career Center.

Silicon Valley saw a 3.6 percent

growth rate between 2011 and 2012, compared to 1.7 percent statewide. Incomes also rose 2.2 percent.

Many Santa Clara students have noticed a di!erence in the market for graduating seniors.

“I’ve seen how the growing job market has made it easier on a lot of my friends at this school to find jobs compared to my friends at other schools,” said senior Amando Argueta-Vogel.

This has caused many students to look for careers in the Silicon Valley post-graduation.

“Having gone to Santa Clara, I feel like we’re in a perfect position to contribute to the ever-progressive job market here in the Silicon Val-ley,” said senior Will Usdin.

Number of stu-dents limited for fall acceptance

Matt RupelT*' S%+&% C,%)%

Students who want to study abroad next year are facing more competition for a limited number of spots.

The Santa Clara Study Abroad O"ce is being more meticulous as they review bids, and face a record high number of applications for the fall quarter. Each application will u n d e r g o

three examinations that review es-say responses, GPA and program selection.

“We can’t necessarily accept every application, but what we can do is ensure a fair process,” said As-sociate Provost for International Programs Susan Popko.

There are currently 510 appli-cants for the fall 2013 quarter. The entire program for the current year was only able to accept 378 students based on the program’s budget. The number of spots available isn’t likely to change according to Popko, who hopes to approve about 350 students to go abroad in the fall.

Sophomore Maggie Yudkev-ich applied to study in Spain

for the fall, but is nervous about the higher rejection rates. “If I don’t get to go, I’ll be really upset,” she said.

Over the last two years, the pro-gram has seen a spike in popular-ity, partly due to the growth in class size, said Popko. But the o"ce is not able to send more students abroad. Instead, they’ve added more op-tions for when and where stu-dents can go abroad.

Students that are looking for jobs in the area can be relieved that Silicon Valley is lead-ing the state in job growth. Santa Clara often feeds graduates to employers in the area.

WORLD ROUNDUP

1. Canada begins phasing out its penny: The Royal Canadian Mint on Monday o(cially ended its distribu-tion of pennies to financial institu-tions. Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced last year they were a nuisance and have out-lived their purpose.

While people may still use pen-nies, the government has issued guidelines urging store owners to start rounding prices to the nearest nickel for cash transactions. Elec-tronic purchases will still be billed to the nearest cent.

The government has said the cost

of the penny exceeds its monetary value. Production is $11 million a year. The coins, which feature two maple leaves and Queen Elizabeth II in profile, will remain legal ten-der until they eventually disappear from circulation. The currency mu-seum at Canada’s central bank has already taken steps to preserve the penny’s place in Canadian culture. A mural consisting of nearly 16,000 one-cent pieces has been assembled at the museum to commemorate the coin’s history.

2. Turkey pledges support for Syrian opposition: Turkey on Sun-day pledged its continued support for the Syrian opposition, saying its leaders should not be pressured into talks with the regime as civil war rages.

Speaking at a security confer-ence in Germany, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said his country supports e)orts to end the bloodshed in Syria, but he under-stands the opposition’s refusal to talk to President Bashar al-Assad after so many Syrian deaths in the fight to topple him.

“It is easy to say now, (the) op-position should accept to sit with the regime, after 60,000 people have been killed,” Davutoglu said at the gathering of top diplomats and se-curity o(cials in Munich.

Opposition leaders reject any talks with Damascus until al-Assad steps down. In a sharp departure from their resolve, the coalition’s president, Moaz al-Khatib, said Wednesday he is willing to talk to the regime if that would help end bloodshed.

From AP Reports.

3. Berlusconi said if he wins, Ital-ians get home tax back: Media mogul Silvio Berlusconi on Sunday promised Italians that if they vote him back into o(ce, he will abolish an unpopular tax on primary resi-dences and refund property taxes Premier Mario Monti’s government made them pay in 2012 as a key aus-terity measure to rescue the country from the eurozone debt crisis.

Berlusconi abolished the tax in 2008, when he was elected for a third term as premier. But the tax was im-mediately revived when Monti, an economist and former European

Union commissioner, replaced him in 2011 as Italy sunk deeper into the debt crisis.

Berlusconi is a 76-year-old popu-list trying for a political comeback despite a recent criminal conviction for tax fraud and other judicial woes.

He told a gathering of applauding supporters in Milan that the prop-erty tax so spooked Italians that they cut back on buying consumer goods and quit investing, aggravating the economic crisis in recession-mired Italy.

From AP Reports.

4. Thirty-three die in Mexico oil company o!ce building blast: A blast that collapsed the lower floors of a building in the headquarters of Mexico’s state-owned oil company, crushing at least 33 people beneath tons of rubble and injuring 121, is be-ing looked at as an accident although all lines of investigation remain open, the head of Petróleos Mexicanos said Friday.

As hundreds of emergency workers dug through the rubble, the company’s worst disaster in a decade was fueling debate about the state of Pemex, a vital source of government revenue that

is su)ering from decades of underin-vestment and has been hit by a recent series of accidents that have tarnished its otherwise improving safety record.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has pledged to open the oil behe-moth to more private and foreign in-vestment, setting o) warnings among leftists about the privatization of an enterprise seen as one of the pillars of the Mexican state. Peña Nieto has provided few details of the reform he will propose but denies any plan to privatize Pemex.

“O)ering di)erent opportuni-ties will increase access to stu-dents who have not been able to access the program and, we hope, increase the diversity of students who participate,” said Popko.

Typically, though, a vast ma-jority of Santa Clara students go abroad during the fall quar-ter. Usually, about 96 percent of students who study abroad do so in the fall. This could be because Santa Clara students have the opportunity to get a semester’s worth of credit in a quarter, ac-cording to Popko.

“I’m undecided about the idea of going a di)erent quarter,” said Yudkevich. “I really like the idea of like, meeting up with your friends and travelling.”

Nationally though, college students tend to go abroad for a shorter period of time, often during the summer. The Study Abroad O(ce is trying to encour-age students to consider these kinds of options.

Study Abroad Director Andrea Muilenburg has already sent out emails to the fall applicants en-couraging students to apply for other opportunities that are avail-able for Santa Clara students to travel.

The Leavey School of Business has the Global Fellows program, which is designed to expand stu-dent learning beyond the class-room and around the globe in the summer. Students receive a stipend to fund a working experi-ence where they become emerged into a foreign culture. The expe-

rience is more individual to the student.

“Some may teach, some may work with a business, some may work in an orphanage in India,” said Elizabeth Powers, the director of international studies for the Leavey School of Business.

Similarly, the Ignation Center offers the Donovan Fellowship, allowing students to design their

own social justice program. The program initially began as a way for individuals to explore working with communities in the area, and grow around the globe.

Students that get the fellow-ships don’t have the same academic experience that is found in study abroad. Instead, they spend a ma-jority of their time working in the placements they’re in.

“The heart of this program is to have a community based experi-ence,” said Associate Director for the Ignation Center, Valerie Sarma.

Broncos Read Accepts Nominations

Broncos Read is back and in full swing, looking for smiling students to become the new faces that are strategically placed around campus.

Last week, Vice Provost for In-formation Services and Chief In-formation Officer Ron Danielson kicked o) the 3rd annual Broncos Read campaign, announcing the opening of the campaign’s nomi-nation process in a campus-wide email.

Helene Lafrance, a member of the Broncos Read Committee, said that the campaign is modeled after the American Library Association’s READ posters, which feature celeb-rities holding their favorite books to celebrate reading. Similar cam-paigns have been implemented at other universities, including Creigh-ton University in Nebraska.

The Broncos Read campaign is meant to be a fun way to recog-nize and honor students, student groups, faculty and sta) who have made strong contributions to the Santa Clara community, Lafrance explained. The campaign asks mem-bers of the university to nominate students, faculty and sta) who em-body the university’s “3Cs,” con-science, competence and compas-sion.

The winning nominees will be honored during National Library Week in April. They will be photo-graphed for a Broncos Read posters with a book, newspaper, magazine or other reading material of their choice.

Last year’s Broncos Read honor-ees included religious studies pro-fessor Sarita Tamayo-Moraga, the women’s basketball team, former

Santa Clara Review editor Taara Khalilnaji1 and the Kids on Campus sta). Their posters are featured on the first floor of the library.

Broncos Read is becoming more popular each year.

“Last year, we received close to 90 submissions,” said Lafrance.

She also added that the online submission process has helped fa-cilitate the campaign and that the committee has been impressed with the submissions they have received.

LaFrance said that the nomina-tions are evaluated by the Broncos Read Committee, which include three members of the university library sta), a student and a faculty member.

“Some people get nominated more than once, so we take this into consideration too,” said Lafrance.

This year the Broncos Read Committee may be hiring a student photographer to shoot for a Broncos Read posters, which would o)er a student the opportunity to show-case his or her own work.

Professor Chang Introduces New Book

“It was like an adrenaline rush, my heart was racing!” said English and ethnic studies associate profes-sor Juliana Chang, Ph.D., throwing her hands up to her face in a dra-matic reenactment.

This past Tuesday, Chang de-livered a lecture on her new book “Inhuman Citizenship: Traumatic Enjoyment and Asian American Lit-erature.” Chang explained that her desire to focus-in on these particular novels stemmed from the intensely felt reactions she experienced while reading them, stating her emotions to have ranged from sadness and

shock to pure exhilaration.To start the lecture o), Chang

gave the audience a general intro-duction to the subject matters dis-cussed in “Inhuman Citizenship:” racism, trauma and four specific Asian-American novels examined within her book.

The remainder of Chang’s talk provided a detailed illustration of the in-depth analysis her book details on four di)erent novels.Chang communicates the idea of hyper-visibility versus invis-ibility when she recited a passage that describes a Filipino woman struggling to grab the attention of salespeople while shopping at a predominantly white shopping center. This example provided the audience with insight into the complexity within di)erent kinds of oppression.

Chang has already begun cook-ing up some new ideas. She hopes to begin an examination of the film “Flower Drum Song,” a Hollywood musical that is filled with clichés and o)ensive Asian stereotypes.

Upgraded system excites students and professors

Mallory Miller T!" S#$%# C&#'#

After six years of working on a blueprint, the environmental stud-ies and sciences department have opened a new Geographical Infor-mation Systems lab in Varsi Hall.

GIS is software that enables users to generate and overlay di)erent kinds of special data to create maps, including environ-mental maps. This is a significant improvement to the class GIS in Environmental Science. Students no longer have to use the commu-nication department’s computer labs in Kenna Hall.

“It was really frustrating to spend an hour and a half on a lab and then have to completely re-start, sometimes more than once, because of system failures,” said Samara Haapala, a junior environ-mental science major.

Students were required to use a Microsoft Windows parallel en-vironment on the Mac desktop computers in Kenna, which caused many glitches with the software.

“We are grateful that the com-munication department hosted and supported our GIS class in Kenna, but the set-up was not ideal for GIS,” said Associate Professor Iris Stewart-Frey. “ArcGIS only runs on PCs. The dual-boot sys-tem was finicky at best, in spite of the best e)orts of the lab manager and instructors.”

The new lab includes PCs, up-dated GIS software and a surplus of data storage capacity. GIS is now going to be included in upper-divi-sion courses, and all environmental majors moving forward will be re-quired to take GIS. Faculty mem-bers are currently utilizing it for multiple projects in the environ-mental sciences, and are allowing undergraduates to help conduct research.

The new lab inspired the en-vironmental studies department to pilot the new course, Introduc-tion to Geographic Information Systems. Stewart-Frey is experi-menting with removing most of the lecture and other aspects of the previous GIS course in order to primarily focus on hands-on application in the new one. The course was also changed due to limited seating in the new lab, and the need to teach a minimum of two sections a year.

GIS is an important skill for en-vironmental studies and science majors to acquire because it helps students observe questions from a spatial viewpoint, “whether if that is about the distribution of species, the density of toxic waste sites, the location of vulnerable populations or the most cost-e(cient way to get a commodity from one place to another,” said Stewart-Frey.

GIS can also be used in other fields such as the social sciences, business, economics, engineering, and environmental studies, sci-ences and environmental justice.

Your days at Santa Clara are numbered. Have you ac-complished everything you

wanted to? Thought not. Here is a list of some must-do’s before you get your diploma.

TravelPicture living with a host family

in Burkina Faso, exploring the Je-suit history in El Salvador or even painting murals in rural Nicaragua.

At least once in your four years at Santa Clara, you should take ad-vantage of the numerous oppor-tunities to explore the world that this school provides. From study abroad placements and immer-sion trips to Global Social Benefit Fellowship placements and the Jean Donovan Fellowship, the travel possibilities are boundless. If financial constraints limit you, do not fear; the school is mind-ful about financial aid and travel scholarships when they are need-ed. Don’t miss out on the many op-portunities available here at Santa Clara.

Take at least one class you enjoy

It’s quite easy to go through two years and realize you have yet to take a class that wasn’t forced down your throat.

It’s easy to forget to stop and smell the roses when we’re re-quired to take numerous Pathway courses, enroll in three religion

classes and satisfy a variety of other requirements.

If you strategically plan your schedule, you can squeeze in a few classes you actually want to take.

This sounds wild, I know, but it’s been done. If you’re a civil engineer balancing classes on concrete, earth-quakes, and structural design, take advantage of the core curriculum to try that ballet class you’ve always wanted or explore digital photog-raphy.

Live in Swig Hall, or befriend someone who does

As one of the most dense concen-tration of humans in the Santa Clara County, Swig Hall is much more than a residence hall: It’s a way of life.

Few times in your life will you get to live in a building with so much insanity and young blood. Though there are drawbacks to living in such close quarters (like the swine flu out-break of 2009), if you’ve survived Swig, you can live anywhere.

Living in Swig is a continuous string of invaluable, unforgettable life lessons you must experience if you really want to say, “I went to Santa Clara.”

Adventure with a fellow Bronco

When was the last time you did something spontaneous? Next Sat-

urday afternoon, hop on the Caltrain and explore San Fransisco. Maybe head to Santa Cruz for a hike with some pals. Regardless of what you do, utilize the beautiful Bay Area en-vironment. In short, pop the Santa Clara bubble every once in a while.

Attend Bay to Breakers

Imagine every student you’ve ever met at this school unleashed, uninhibited and adorned head to toe in neon or some other outrageous ensemble marching to the Caltrain at 4 a.m.

Consistently, Bay to Breakers is the single most powerful occurrence of spirit I have experienced at Santa Clara. Packed like sardines, Broncos are literally dangling from the sec-ond floor, plastered with silly smiles and overflowing with anticipation.

What’s in store the rest of the day? You’ll just have to see for your-self. For now, mark your calendar for this year’s — May 19.

Buck the Zags If you feel like you haven’t got-

ten your fill of school spirit, attend a Santa Clara game against Gonzaga University. This is compulsory. Clad in crimson with painted faces and raging adrenaline, our student body is a sight to see. Plus, when you see your classmates on Bellomy Street at 2 a.m. lighting a couch on fire in the middle of the street, you can’t help but wonder what havoc would

have erupted if we still had a football team.

Crash the Grad PicnicAfter four years at Santa Clara,

you will quickly find that the best parties at Santa Clara are the ones thrown by Santa Clara itself. Fea-turing gourmet food, hot California summer weather, several ice cream dispensers, multiple bar and drink stations, catchy music, entertain-ing dancing, and all your favorite graduating seniors, the Graduation Picnic is amazing. Not to mention, if you’re 21 and have always wanted to play beer pong or flip cup with your roommate’s mom, here’s your chance.

Basically, there’s no reason to ever spend a Saturday alone and bored here. This school has many hidden gems, and you only have four years to discover them.

Sixty-six people were Secre-tary of State before Hillary Clinton. Yet, she made the

job her own.Each of the Secretaries of State

took up a cause during their term that went beyond mere diplomatic goaltending like the purchase of Alaska by William H. Seward, the signing of the Marshall Plan by George Marshall or the efforts in Bosnia by Madeleine Albright. While serving at the behest of the president, they nevertheless man-aged to bring their own outlook to the world stage.

Logging a million miles in four years has not hindered Hillary Clinton from being more than a mouthpiece for men. Her experi-ence on the Senate Armed Services Committee prior to 2009, com-bined with eight years of watching the Bush administration, provided her with a chance to develop a very specific view of foreign policy: a combination of cooperation and tough negotiation that has been described succinctly as “smart power.”

For Clinton, it was not about one cause; it was about all of them. Clinton was involved in starting the Global Hunger and Food Se-curity Initiative; opening the Turkish-Armenian border for the first time in decades; working to attack climate change; hammering China on their restrictive Internet policies; and promoting the rights of women and LGBT individuals throughout the world. There’s a reason most of these are not ring-ing a bell: Clinton was never about only doing what the media would cover. She was about using Ameri-can leverage to do what was right for the world.

Not everything has gone right for the U.S. in the last four years. The drawdown in Afghanistan still leaves many questions about the ability of the Afghan troops to provide stability. North Korea has nuclear weapons, and Iran seems to be doing everything it can to join the club. Europe remains eco-nomically on edge, and of course, there was the loss of J. Christopher Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, and two other Americans in Libya last September. The legacy of Hill-ary Clinton, then, is one of both tri-umph and tragedy. Yes, much has been done, but much still needs to be done .

The relationship between the U.S. and the rest of the world is more important than ever. Also critical is for the U.S. to constant-ly advocate the freedoms that we enjoy and others are denied. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clin-ton served these interests and her country with distinction. Presi-dent Barack Obama rated her as among the best. While perhaps it is too early for a ranking, one thing is sure: Hillary Clinton has left very big shoes for John Kerry to fill.

Jonathan Tomczak is a junior political science and history double major.

Santa Clara provides a wealth of opportunities for students to share wonderful and diverse experiences during their time here. That being said, it may serve you well to prioritize your Santa Clara bucket list. What do you want to accomplish and participate in before you don the cap and gown? The clock is ticking, so start making that list.

Paul David

When I started here at Santa Clara in the fall, one thing struck me

quickly: We have an incredibly fit and attractive campus.

We even have the statistics to back it up, with sites like College Prowler rating Santa Clara stu-dents as part of the top 10 in the nation for most attractive and fit students. Santa Clara is praised in many circles for how athletic our student population is, but have we taken this image a bit too far?

Most days the gym seems more crowded than the library with one side of the gym plodding away at cardio machines and the other frantically lifting weights, trying to achieve the elusive “swole” status.

The “freshman 15” is almost a myth on this campus. In a country where the obesity rate for adults is past 35 percent, shouldn’t the Santa Clara phenomenon be a model for schools around the country?

Certainly the benefits of diet and exercise are no secret. Numer-ous studies have found that physi-cal exercise improves mood and creativity, and in a region renowned for its innovation, this is invaluable. However, the line between passion and obsession is thin.

With the sun out nearly all year-round and beaches only a half-hour drive away, it is no surprise so many are working to keep up their beach body. With the prevalence of bro tanks and tank tops, there is a sense of always being on display.

However, with the pressure of classes and the temptation of late-night Bronco, always looking your best is a bit unrealistic. Being thin and ripped is the expectation, but is this realistic, not to mention healthy, for college students who are already stretched so thin?

There are dark sides to this health craze. The price of staying in the top 10 for most attractive and athletic students can be crash diets and eating disorders. This problem is nationwide, with studies showing over half of college women and a third of men surveyed admitting to resorting to unhealthy habits like anorexia or bulimia in order to reach a desired weight.

Guys guzzle Muscle Milk and girls skip meals, all to be able to walk through campus without having to hide an extra pound or two. The obsession with body im-age hits women the hardest, with 58 percent of those surveyed feel-ing pressure to lose weight, while over 50 percent were already at a healthy weight.

Fitness is not all bad though. An active campus makes for a smarter, more creative campus. The Ameri-can College of Sports Medicine re-ports that students who exercise regularly, have higher GPAs than those who don’t.

The Malley Fitness and Recre-ation Center can be a wonderful resource. It can be a great way to unwind after a long day and even meet new people. But it can also

create a culture obsessed with an unrealistic standard of appearance.

Let’s take Santa Clara o( its fit-ness pedestal for a minute.

Santa Clara’s athleticism brings out the best and the worst in us. Our emphasis on fitness can cre-

ate a more intelligent, energetic environment, but it can also breed dangerous habits that may follow students for years.

College is a time that begins to mold the person you will be for the rest of your life. Overemphasizing

appearance as the primary way you see yourself, and how your peers see you does not set you up for a satisfying life.

Paul David is a freshman and undecided arts and sciences major.

As many students like to point out, Newsweek named Santa Clara the second most beautiful campus in the U.S. of 2012. The rank-ing also included the overall attractiveness of the campus community. Attention to appearance is seen throughout the student body.

A charismatic performance brings laughter

Rachel DavidsonA!!"#$%&' (')"(&'(

As the midterms, papers and late nights typical of Week 5 made their presense apparent around campus, the Activities Programming Board o!ered students the chance to take a break with a healthy dose of laugh-ter.

Nearly 130 students crowded into the Locatelli Student Activity Center on Monday night to watch stand up comedians Thomas Dale, Josh Rabinowitz and Streeter Se-idell from CollegeHumor get raun-chy with jokes and stories that certainly appealed to the college audience, but perhaps would not gain as much applause from young children or parents.

“I’m so glad that I went,” said sophomore Jennifer Barsanti. “It was nice to have this little break af-ter finishing all my midterms last week to get back into the swing of

things.”CollegeHumor is a comedy web-

site based out of New York City with original videos, pictures and articles regarding campus life. They ran a television series on MTV that starred members of their editorial sta!, Seidell included. In addition to an impressive YouTube follow-ing online, CollegeHumor has made waves on and o! the internet with books, clothes and other merchan-dise.

It’s not surprising that a great deal of students on campus know and love CollegeHumor and were excited to get the chance to see some of the most popular comedians in an up-and-close performance.

The three comedians hosted by Santa Clara centered their dialogue around their own lives in college, remembering naked runs in the dorm hallways and failed attempts to pick up girls.

Rabinowitz recalled a time when he stalked his friend over the in-ternet with cat noises and Seidell shared his woes of gaining the “freshman 15” — every single year of school. Other taboo jokes cen-tered around sex, drugs and alco-hol made up a large portion of the performance.

The group was sent off with a wild round of applause and an im-pressively long line of students hop-ing to meet the comedians and snap a picture together.

Crowds left the room with tears

in their eyes and cramps in their abs from buckling over with laughter.

This event was the first to kick o! Bronco Week, which will continue through Friday. If you missed the show or just want to get in some

more laughs, check out more from CollegeHumor on their website or YouTube channel.

Thumbs Up, Thumbs DownStudents sound o! on the best and worst

of Bronco life Bronco Week closes with a dance on campus

Summer MezaT*' S%+&% C,%(%

After a long week of mid-terms, not many things sound better than a night of dancing and enjoying refreshments with your friends, without even needing to leave campus.

Thanks to ASG’s Red and White Ball, this is possible this upcoming Friday night.

Of the many events of this year’s Bronco Week, the Red and White Ball may be one of the most appealing activities of them all.

Santa Clara’s Associated Stu-dent Government promotes this culmination of the spirit week each

year. The event is an old tradition here at Santa Clara. Hosted on cam-pus in the Adobe Lodge near the Mission Church, the a!air is a ca-sual, low-key dance where students can come to cut loose and celebrate being a Bronco.

“We think that it’s gonna be a great chance for everybody to have a good time together and show their spirit,” said freshman senator Aar-on Poor, “and the more people who

show up, the more fun it will be.”While the Red and White Ball

may not sound like a familiar event to students who haven’t been around for long, it was a traditional part of Bronco Week up until a few years ago.

“ASG decided to bring it back as the finale of Bronco Week since it had been a popular event in the past,” said senior senator Josh Ronen.

While the name may sound intimidating, asking a date isn’t necessary. Nor is dressing in for-malwear. The goal is simply to bring students together to enjoy one another’s company and dedi-cate an evening to Bronco Week and the pride of being a Santa Clara student.

The dance is only $5 per ticket, and tickets will be sold right up un-til 9 p.m. when the event begins.

Thousands of fans witness Santa Clara’s easy win

Ryan MahoneyT!" S#$%# C&#'#

A raucous crowd of over two thou-sand was on hand Friday night on Bel-lomy Field as the Santa Clara University Touring Side started its league season on the right foot, defeating Stanford Uni-versity 34-7.

The Broncos improved to 3-0 against Stanford under second-year Head Coach Paul Keeler, having defeated the Cardinal twice last season, both home and away. Santa Clara will now look to repeat as Northern California Division I champi-ons, albeit against much tougher competi-tion this season.

After 20 minutes elapsed in the first half, Santa Clara’s Scott Johnson broke the Stanford line to score the game’s first try, worth 5 points. Winger J.J. Holmgren connected on the conversion kick to put the Broncos up 7-0.

Tommy Baldacci scored his first of two tries on the night with five minutes remaining in the half. The conversion was missed leaving the score at 12-0. That score would hold until the half, when Santa Clara’s Chris Falvey was sent o( with a red card.

Despite playing 14 on 15 for the rest of the match, the Broncos weren’t deterred. Scrum-half Mark Kuppenbender picked the ball o( of a scrum and ran nearly half

the field’s length for a try to put Santa Clara up 19-0.

“It was a little error on their part,” Kuppenbender said. “I got a little lucky, I picked up the ball and had my guys sup-porting me. I just got there before they did.”

Stanford responded with a try and conversion to make it 19-7, but Kyle Dunne and Riley White both broke through shortly afterward for two tries, to widen the Bronco gap to 29-7 with 10 minutes remaining.

The final punch came once again from Baldacci, who scored with four minutes remaining to bring the score line to its final at 35-7.

“As a whole, the team played well, but I felt that Tim O’Hara played especially well,” said Keeler. “He ran the field, made a lot of tackles, as did Tommy Baldacci. Really, the game picked up when Mark Kuppenbender went to scrum-half and we attacked a bit better.”

Defeating Stanford helps set Santa Clara up for a successful season in league play. They may be defending champions of their conference, but the landscape of college rugby is changing. Powerful programs such as Saint Mary’s College, California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo and San Diego State University will now compete in the same league.

“You want to win the games that you should win, and this was one of those games,” said Keeler. “We’re able to gain momentum. We were able to make mis-takes and come away with a win. It helps us learn now how to win games.”

Friday night’s contest was the lat-est renewal of a rugby rivalry that dates

back to 1908. Between 1915 and 1917, it was Stanford and Santa Clara who met in rugby for the “Big Game,” in lieu of the traditional University of California, Berkeley-Stanford football game.

In 1916, Santa Clara trounced Stan-ford 28-5 in front of 40,000 fans in San Francisco. That year the Santa Clara team finished 9-0 and was the best American rugby team that season. Players from Stanford and Santa Clara joined forces to represent the U.S. in the Olympics in 1920 and 1924, with the Americans win-ning gold medals in both games. Those representatives were Santa Clara’s first Olympians, and the gold medals hang today in the de Saisset Museum.

“This rivalry is bigger than just this game. It’s in the history of both schools,” said Keeler. “Promoted right, it could be that big game for us again. It would be great to play it in (Buck Shaw Stadium).”

With this history on their minds, SCUTS took the field before a turnout that numbered in the thousands.

“Before the game, I told one of the referees that there would be 2,000 people and he didn’t believe me,” Keeler said. “And then the band came in, and both match o)cials were in awe. It’s just amaz-ing. I haven’t coached many games where we’ve had 2,000 people, even champion-ship games. It’s huge for us on a Friday night.”

Kuppenbender said the band helped get into the heads of Stanford. “The crowd was awesome, it was so helpful having everyone there,” he said.

BRONCO BRIEFS


The women’s water polo team won two games over the weekend, beating conference opponent California State University, Monterey Bay 8-6 before downing Fresno Pacific University 17-8. The Broncos were paced by the o(ense of freshman Elizabeth Anderson, who had six goals in the two wins. Senior Stephanie Clements came up huge in goal in the game against CSMB with nine saves. The team also played Friday against the University of Hawaii, dropping their home opener 16-6. They will next be in action this coming Sunday at the University of California, San Diego Triton Invite.

On Super Bowl Sunday, the women’s tennis team traveled to University of California, Davis and came away with a close 4-3 victory. It was their first victory on the road in the young season. They will be back in action this weekend when they host San Jose State University and Fresno State University.

Men’s Basketball

Marc Trasolini has been named a finalist for the Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School.

“There’s so many worthy candidates, but he’s a guy that has unequivocally done everything right that he can control,” said Head Coach Kerry Keating of Traso-lini. “The fact that he has come back and re-established himself as one of the best players in our league has had everything to do with our success this year.”

Fans can vote once a day for Trasolini online through the team’s o)cial site to help him win this distinction.

“I feel really blessed to be part of that group of people, I worked really hard and to be included on this list really means a lot to me,” said Trasolini.

Two Santa Clara defenders converge on a member of Stanford University’s side during their game Friday night. The Santa Clara University Touring Side defeated its long time rival 35-7 on Bellomy Field in front of a crowd estimated at exceeding 2,000 people, an unheard of number to Head Coach Paul Keeler.

Broncos beat Portland but fall to BYU

Henry GulaT!" S#$%# C&#'#

The Santa Clara men’s basket-ball team was able to pick up one win last week against the Univer-sity of Portland, but continued in its struggles against the conference’s elite, losing by double digits the following game to Brigham Young University.

Forward Marc Trasolini’s sixth double-double of the season set the tone for the Broncos against Port-land.

“I just came out and got going early and tried to be really aggres-

sive throughout the game,” said Trasolini. “In the past we’ve had a couple games where we’ve let teams back in it so I was just trying to re-ally play tough and make sure we finished the game o(.”

Against BYU, the Broncos had a strong first half but dropped o( in the second half, letting the Cougars pull away on a 9-0 run.

“They’re a talented team,” said sixth-year Head Coach Kerry Keating. “You can’t always try to outscore people and we had some defensive lapses early and late that cost us.”

The Broncos let the Cougars go on a similar run in their earlier meeting at the Leavey Center, losing touch after an 18-0 BYU run.

“We could have rebounded bet-ter,” said guard Kevin Foster. “We watched the film and we didn’t play like we were capable of. It happens

sometimes, but we have to learn from it.”

The Broncos now sit at 17-7 overall and 5-4 in the West Coast Conference.

Their next game is tonight against Bay Area rival Saint Mary’s College. The Gaels are 8-1 in con-ference and will pose a formidable challenge to Santa Clara.

“(We) are well prepared and anx-ious for the challenge,” said Keat-ing. “We’re as talented and capable as anyone we play, making sure we stay within ourselves and don’t beat ourselves as much as we can.”

Foster, Trasolini and Raymond Cowels III all agreed that defense would be the key to the game.

“Defense wins games,” said Cowels.

Saint Mary’s guard Matthew Dellavedova is a dangerous player, one that the Broncos will have to

focus on all night.“He’s a great point guard in our

league,” said Cowels. “We have to keep him from facilitating for them, not letting them do what they want every play like they tend to against other teams.”

Trasolini added, “They’re a great team, great program, coach and players, but I think they’re defi-nitely beatable.”

Keating cited their deep post rotation, similar to that of Santa Clara. “When you’re playing the better teams that have established themselves you have to be better and our guys know that they can which is why we’re optimistic mov-ing forward,” he said.

Tip-o( is set for 8 p.m. in the Leavey Center.

Men’s Basketball Splits WCC GamesTwitter Explodes on Super SundayWhether you were watch-

ing last Sunday’s Super Bowl on a couch with your

friends or at a bar with people who temporarily became your friends, the game was definitely entertaining as it came down to a final defensive stand — or a missed call depending on who you were rooting for. Even more entertaining were the hordes of people enjoying the Super Bowl XLVII on Twitter.

There were a Super Bowl record 24.1 million tweets sent out during the game, almost doubling the amount posted during last year’s matchup. What could explain this surge in the Twittersphere?

For starters, Beyoncé had jaws in America dropping further and fur-ther as her turn-back-the-clock per-formance generated over 268,000 tweets per minute. There was plenty of pomp and circumstance including fire, smokescreens and the featuring of Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland for a Destiny’s Child reunion. Needless to say, people were excited:

Bruno Mars (@BrunoMars): “Be-yonce got some stamina ! I’d be cough-ing blood by now.”

Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKend-rick47): “Beyonce = everything. I’m dying. I’ve died. I am dead. #IRegret-Nothing.”

S t e p h e n A . S m i t h ( @ st e -phenasmith): “BEYONCE is a baaaaaaddddddd MAMA JAMA!!! If y’all don’t know, Y’all better ask some-body.”

Mesmerized by Beyoncé, people probably forgot there was still football to be played. Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones turned America’s attention back to the game as he caught the opening kicko( of the second half and proceeded to run it back for an 108-yeard touchdown. Not only did his sprint set an NFL postseason record for longest kicko( return, but he did it in a whopping 11 seconds. Although Jones was in a hurry to help his team win, others speculated the true motive behind his mad dash:

Stephen Curry (@StephenCur-ry30): “He was running like he was trying to catch Beyonce in the tunnel before she left!!! Waaaaaaaaiiitttttt.”

As if the Super Bowl needed any more storylines, half of the lights in the Superdome inexplicitly turned o( shortly after Jones’ touchdown. It was an awkward 34 minutes before play resumed, in which NBC literally could not go to commercials because there were probably only so many compa-nies willing to pay the pretty penny for an ad during the big game. Instead of listening to the halftime analysts who were called back to improvise, people simply turned to the website where all of the action was:

Onion Sports Network (@Onion-Sports): “Over 100 NFL players with-out power in New Orleans right now. Please help. Every donation counts. #SuperBowl.”

Walgreens (@Walgreens): “...we also sell lights. #SuperBowl.”

Super Bowl Lights parody account (@SuperBowlLights): “Only Beyonce can turn me on.”

And then there was my favorite tweet of the night. During Beyoncé’s performance, probably every male in America was wishing he was her hus-band. When the power shut down, that man had something to say:

Jay-Z (@S_C_): “Lights out!!! Any questions??”

Three Keys to a Bronco Upset:

Keep Dellavedova out of the paint Santa Clara struggled with this last

year, as Saint Mary’s College’s point guard repeatedly got into the middle of the Bronco defense. Matthew Dellavedova knocked down free-throw line jumpers and dished the ball off to his big men inside, resulting in a 26-point, 7-assist night at the Leavey Center for the Australian native. If Santa Clara can make the Gaels work for every hoop, they will have a much easier time staying in the game tonight. And if that happens, who knows what the energy of a packed Leavey Center can amount to. Saint Mary’s certainly doesn’t want to find out.

Live, don’t die, by the three The Broncos shoot 23 3-point field

goals per game, 18th most in the country, but are just 46th in percentage. As is a characteristic of most upsets, for the underdog to win, they will have to shoot the ball well, especially given how much Santa Clara launches from deep. A perfect example of this was seen in the Broncos’ upset over Gonzaga University two years ago. Kevin Foster made six 3-pointers and scored 36 points while the team shot 40 percent from distance. Another hot shooting night would go a long way in sending the Gaels home with a loss.

Value every possession Against some of the lesser teams

in the conference, Santa Clara has gotten away with turning the ball over — they turned it over 18 times in a blowout win over the University of Portland. However, against the likes of Gonzaga, Brigham Young University and Saint Mary’s, each possession carries more meaning. That was never more evident in the Broncos’ disappointing home loss to BYU, where 15 turnovers led to easy baskets and a second half deficit that was too much to climb out of. If you limit turnovers, you automatically cut down on the amount of easy run outs your opponent gets.
