Stanford Men’s Basketball vs. Arizona
Thursday, March 9th
10:30PM Eastern time (the printed version of the newsletter says 9:30PM, but
10:30 is correct)
Both Arizona and Stanford lost close games this past week. Arizona beat
Stanford earlier this year at Stanford. A Stanford victory on Thursday would
guarantee Stanford a #1 seed in the West Regionals. The game is available on
Home Team Sports, which is carried by several local cable systems. Stanford
fans will also gather at the Crystal City Sports Pub, 529 South 23rd Street,
Arlington. Tom Hwang has agreed to get there early and organize things.
Directions from DC: Come over 14th Street Bridge, and come south on Route
1. Make a right at 23rd (gas station on corner) before turnoff to
National Airport. The sports bar is in the second block on your right. Metro:
Exit Crystal City Metro (18th street) and walk under underpass to Eads, and
left to 23rd, and right on 23rd.
On Saturday, Stanford plays Arizona State at 2PM Eastern –TV coverage is Fox
Sports Bay Area.

Membership Renewal and the Annual Membership
Directory
The response to Monday’s email providing each renewed member with their
membership information to verify has been a huge success (???) with
approximately 200 email responses in the first 24 hours providing various
changes. If you a renewed member and have changes that you have not yet
submitted, please submit the changes only, rather than all of your
information. It makes data entry much easier.
Non-renewed members were provided the same information last week by
email. Those non-renewed members who receive their newletter by mail
will receive a membership form in the mail in a day or two. Non-renewed
members must mail, not email, changes and their membership fee by March 15th.
(Data entry is much easier if the check and the membership information arrive
at the same time and if checks are not stapled to the membership form.) The
directory will be mailed in mid-April.
New STEPS Job Bank for Young Alumni
The Stanford Exchange for Public Service (STEPS) is starting a job bank of
available positions in the D.C. area suitable for graduating seniors and young
alumni seeking public service jobs (government, non-profit, or private
sector). If you or your employer are interested in having Stanford graduating
seniors and young alumni apply for jobs or internships at your office or
company, please e-mail a job description to Charles Hokanson ’93, MA ’93, at charles_hokanson@stanfordalumni.org
or mail a hard copy to Charles at 3000 Spout Run Parkway #C-610, Arlington, VA
22201. For more information about STEPS or if you have questions about the
STEPS Job Bank, please contact Charles at (703) 351-1091.
Stanford GALA in DC
A Stanford Gay and Lesbian Alumni Group is now taking shape in DC for area
alumni. The group started this fall and has quickly established a large
membership. Stanford DC GALA intends to be a helpful resource for both alumni
and students in DC. Plans for the group include: social events, events with
GALA groups from other schools, job networking opportunities, and funding a
summer internship in DC for a student working in gay and lesbian rights. If
you are interested in joining or learning more about the group, please contact
Jason Husgen AB ’97, j.husgen@stanfordalumni.org

STANFORD IN GOVERNMENT
February 14, 2000
Dear Stanford Alumni and Friends,
Once again we would like to request your help in providing free or low-cost
housing to Stanford students this summer.
This year, we expect over one hundred Stanford students to participate in
public service internships in DC. Most internships are unpaid, so it can be
difficult for students to finance the cost of a summer in the city. That’s
why we need your help. In the past, some Stanford alumni have provided
students with room and/or board in exchange for low rent or services such as
baby-sitting, house-sitting, or yard work. This generosity has allowed many
Stanford students to intern affordably in DC, inspiring them to pursue careers
in public service.
Stanford in Government would like to include you in our 2000 DC summer
program. As a small measure of our gratitude and interest in promoting
excellent alumni/student relations, we will hold at least one alumni/student
mixer at the Stanford in Washington House on Connecticut Avenue. We welcome
any interest to help plan this event.
If you are willing to house a student for any part of the summer, please
complete the attached survey and return it at your earliest convenience.
Housing is generally most difficult for students to find in mid-June (before
other housing may be available) and from mid-August through September (when
they must vacate the Stanford in Washington house or apartments they
rent). Your completed survey will be placed in a binder in the SIG
office and it is the student’s responsibility to contact you. If an
arrangement is made with a student, your survey will be removed from the
binder.
Thank you very much for your continued support. None of SIG’s work would be
possible without your generosity. Please contact me at (650) 497-6954 with any
questions about the survey or the summer housing program.
Sincerely,
Chad Bollenbach
