I can't believe that another Bear would write something so unkind and petty. I hope that she doesn't read his/her comment. Her achievement is outstanding, and either Stanford or Cal would be lucky to have her as an incoming freshman.

The vast majority of Mercedes' fleet would be inadequate for the terrain in Nepal. I would recommend a 2007 Range Rover equipped with the upgraded engine. And wood trim, of course.

An incoming frosh who climbs Mount Everest and doesn't forget to show her Stanford pride up there? Awesome awesome awesome!

A Golden Bear that reads the Stanford Daily. I guess we should be flattered (Wishful thinking?).

When will those few idiot Kal Bears realize that rich spoiled girls exist at their little institution as well? The're just not as smart. The smart Kal Bears don't post stupid comments on the Daily's website. Unfortunately for Kal, there are more than enough douches, rich and poor, to make up for the cool kids.

As one who took a year off after high school to climb, ski, and live in a foreign country (on my own nickel)before enrolling at Stanford I say good for her! I think it is great that Stanford students are doing so-called "untraditional" activities. Yes, you need dough to get to Mt. Everest, but engagement in activities beyond the typical sports (team or not) is something that benefits all students and should be encouraged. In fact, isn't this what we want students to be doing - participating and not just watching? I hope that she'll be able to share some of her knowledge with others on the Farm. I'm impressed!

Excerpt from a Berkeley graduation speech this year:

-- PROFESSOR MICHAEL LEVINE addressed the DEPARTMENT OF MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY: "Graduates, you have received the very best training in cell and molecular biology available anywhere in the world. Well done, and you have achieved this at just a fraction of the cost of what the schmucks at Stanford paid for similar, possibly inferior, training.''

Excerpt from every graduation speech from the top departments at Stanford: "blah blah cliche nonsense blah." See the difference? We didn't feel the need to compare ourselves to you, Cal, at every turn of our higher education. Get over it. Your quotation is the definition of an inferiority complex. And when you post it on our daily's website, I get the image of you, stroking yourself in your lab, a mixture of arrogance and snub on your face as you cockily try to understand why the world thinks you're such a d-bag.

It bothers me that you are picturing me stroking myself. Not much exciting going on in Shallow Alto?
