  • Co-Operative Living at Stanford a Report of SWOPSI 146
    CoopAtStan-28W Weds May 16 7:00 pm Draft Only — Draft Only — Draft Only Co-operative Living at Stanford A Report of SWOPSI 146 May 1990 Preface This report resulted from the hard work of the students of a Stanford Workshops on Political and Social Issues (SWOPSI) class called “Co-operative Living and the Current Crisis at Stanford.” Both instructors and students worked assiduously during Winter quarter 1990 researching and writing the various sections of this report. The success of the class’s actions at Stanford and of this report resulted from blending academics and activism (a fun but time-consuming combination). Contributing to this report were: Paul Baer (instructor) Chris Balz Natalie Beerer Tom Boellstorff Scott Braun Liz Cook Joanna Davidson (instructor) Yelena Ginzburg John Hagan Maggie Harrison Alan Haynie Madeline Larsen (instructor) Dave Nichols Sarah Otto Ethan Pride Eric Rose (instructor) Randy Schutt Eric Schwitzgebel Raquel Stote Jim Welch Michael Wooding Bruce Wooster ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who contributed to this final report and the resolution of the Co-op crisis. Although we would like to mention everyone by name, it might double the length of this entire document. Our everlasting thanks go out to everyone who contributed. Especially Leland Stanford for having his co-operative vision, the SWOPSI Office for carrying it on and providing the opportunity for this class to happen, Henry Levin, our faculty sponsor for his help with the proposal process, Lee Altenberg, whose tremendous knowledge of Stanford co-operative lore is exceeded only by his boundless passion for the co-ops themselves; the Co-op Alumni network, the folks at the Davis, Berkeley, and Cornell co-ops, NASCO, and all of the existing Stanford co-ops for their support during this entire process.

  • Stanford University (A): Indirect Cost Recovery
    Graduate School of Business S-A-155A Stanford University July 1994 Stanford University (A): Indirect Cost Recovery March 13, 1991, Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. “What we will hear today is a story of tax-payer dollars going to bloated overhead [rather] than to scientific research. It is a story of excess and arrogance, compounded by lax government oversight,” said John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Dingell concludes that three explanations are possible for events at Stanford University: “One is that there is great incompetence out there; one is that there is rascality out there; one is there may be both.” Less than a year earlier, the New York Times had praised Stanford for “slashing its budget 13 percent, laying off nonteaching employees and tearing up organiza- tional charts—all the while pledging not to raise tuition by more than 1 percentage point above the inflation rate.” The acting dean of Harvard University’s faculty of arts and sciences said, “These concerns are quite common. I admire Stanford for the fact that they have started to tackle this, and I am quite sure the rest of us will follow soon—not necessarily in terms of major cuts, but in terms of attempting to deal with these financial questions.”1 Background Stanford is at the center of a roiling dispute over the federal research dol- lars that vaulted the University to international prominence.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation.

The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Albert H.

  • C-Span First Ladies / Lou Hoover
    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES LOU HOOVER JUNE 16, 2014 SUSAN SWAIN, HOST: Lou and Herbert Hoover came to the White House as trained geologists and experienced world travelers who were successful in both the private and public sectors. But just months into Hoover's term, the market crashed. First Lady Lou Hoover used her office to advocate volunteerism and charity, but as the Great Depression deepened their one term ended amidst great public frustration. Good evening, and welcome to "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, the story of Lou Henry Hoover, the Hoover administration in 1929 to 1933, and what an interesting life she had. Here to tell us about her years before the White House as we get started tonight is Annette Dunlap, historian, author, first ladies biographer, scholar at the Hoover Institution, and working on a biography on Lou Henry Hoover. What interested you enough to spend what's going to be several years of your life looking at this woman? ANNETTE DUNLAP, AUTHOR: Well, I got interested in her from talking with a friend of mine at the National First Ladies Library up in Canton, Ohio. And when I started looking at Lou, I realized that this was a woman whose story has not been fully told. There are so many layers to her, so many different activities that she has been involved in, and a legacy that she's left for women particularly even to today that I would like to see the rest of the people know about. SWAIN: Well, let's start with her growing up years.
