    Re: pictures

    Students in the Graduate School of Business are reeling after hearing an address given by John Chambers, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Cisco, where he told 150 students and administrators, “I hate you all.”

    Chambers, who was speaking at the GSB’s annual silent auction “An Evening of Inspiration,” began his address with an account of his struggles with dyslexia as a child, but his tone soon turned sour and disdainful as he turned his ire on the GSB students in the audience.

    “Students like you are the reason big business in America perpetuates underhanded, unethical and downright stupid practices that devastate innocent Americans,” Chambers said to the audience. “Stop tweeting. Stop poking each other on Facebook. And for the love of God, are you still trying to make Google+ happen?!”

    Chambers’ first outburst was met with a few chuckles in the audience, but over the course of Chambers’ fifteen-minute rant, the laughter soon fizzled into silence as he continued to lambast GSB students’ ethical foundations, moral compasses, and overarching life motivations.

    While Chambers was originally scheduled to be the 2012 graduation speaker at the GSB, that address was rescheduled after Sisqo, former rapper/singer most popular for his hit “The Thong Song,” agreed to give the graduation address.

    According to President of the GSB Graduation Committee Joseph Renald, Sisqo was the committee’s first pick, but there was a lapse in communication when Renald’s secretary used her iPhone. “Siri called the wrong Sisqo,” Amber Bergman, Renald’s administrative assistant, said of the mix-up.

    Chambers’ address began innocently with a thank-you to the GSB administration for inviting him to speak, but less than two minutes into the address he proclaimed to the 150 GSB students, 40 faculty members and administrators of the GSB, and various faculty and students from other Stanford departments in attendance, “I hate you all.” It is unclear whether his verbal slamming of the GSB was a vengeful response to being booted as the graduation speaker, or whether he just really hates GSB students.

    Said Laura Crawley, Associate Dean for External Relations, who recruited speakers for the event, “While this event is ostensibly a fundraiser for PUEBLO, People United for a Better Life in Oakland, we choose our speakers with our GSB students in mind — we use it as an opportunity to invite inspiring figures in the business community onto campus to speak with the students directly. Unfortunately, one of our speakers ended up breaking the fragile shell lying beneath the smartass facade of each and every GSB student in attendance. It was quite validating for the Engineering students who were also in attendance.”

    Chambers concluded his speech by proclaiming, “Social networks will be obsolete before your balls drop, you dumb, twitter-cock fucks. Stop hitting on undergrads. Oh and I hate all of you. Good night.”

    Despite Chambers’ unexpected verbal attack on those in attendance, “An Evening of Inspiration” still managed to raise over $40,000 to be donated to PUEBLO. The item auctioned off at the highest bid was a pair of tickets to see Sisqo live in concert.

    Dorothy N. Davis Locanthi (1913 - 1999)

    Dorothy Locanthi died on Monday the 27th of September 1999.

    Dorothy Davis Locanthi, a long-time AAS member, died in Glendale, California on September 27, 1999. An only child, she was born Dorothy N. Davis on April 19, 1913 in East St. Louis, IL, where she attended public schools and graduated from high school in three years. After one year at Ferry Hall, a college preparatory school in Lake Forest, IL, she entered Vassar College in 1929. There she majored in physics and took all the astronomy courses she could under Caroline Furness and Maud Makemson. By the time Dorothy graduated in 1933, she had decided there could be no more rewarding career for her than astrophysical research.

    She wanted to enter the University of California (UC), where she was accepted, but its funds were limited because of the Great Depression. Her father, a small businessman, was also hit hard by the Depression so Dorothy had to depend on scholarships and her earnings from campus jobs to finance her education. Luckily she received a one-year teaching fellowship at Mills College in Oakland, close to Berkeley and Lick Observatory. At Mills Dorothy wrote an excellent master's thesis on the spectra of S stars, based on spectrograms taken by Paul Merrill at Mount Wilson Observatory. C. Donald Shane of the Berkeley Astronomical Department was her mentor. That Christmas she spent her "vacation" at Mount Hamilton working on her thesis, reading in the library and hoping for a clear night.

    In 1934 Dorothy finally received a small assistantship and entered UC. In her third year she was awarded a Lick Observatory Fellowship. Most of the astronomy graduate students divided their time between the two locations. She wrote an outstanding thesis on the spectrum of Antares, based again on high-dispersion spectrograms from Mount Wilson, photographed primarily by Walter S. Adams and Theodore Dunham. Her principal advisers were Shane and the physicist, F.A. Jenkins. Dorothy became an expert on molecular spectra and in identifying many atomic lines of rare elements in this cool supergiant. She completed her PhD in 1937, and then accepted two successive one-year temporary teaching positions at Vassar and Smith. But what she really wanted was to continue research.

    Dorothy then received an AAUW postdoctoral fellowship which enabled her to begin work on the spectrum of β Pegasi, an M giant with essentially the same effective temperature as Antares, but a higher density. She did this research at Mount Wilson Observatory, using spectrograms taken there. In 1940 she went to Princeton University as an assistant to Henry Norris Russell. She helped analyze the laboratory spectrum of Eu II. In 1942 Dorothy returned to Mount Wilson as an assistant to Adams and continued her own analysis of β Pegasi. By then America was at war and Mount Wilson was involved in several weapons development programs. She worked on them for a time, and then transferred to Caltech's rocket project. In 1943 she married Bart N. Locanthi, a Caltech student and electronics expert who also worked on this project.

    In 1945 Dorothy was at Ray Control Company in Pasadena for a time under Pol Swings, the Belgian astrophysicist who was designing spectrographs for wartime industries. When the war ended she took a well-paying job in the nascent Beckman Laboratory to support her husband until he finished his degree at Caltech. Their first daughter was born in 1948, and Dorothy could not get back to work for two years. In 1950 she started at a half-time job with Franklin E. Roach, the former astronomer who had switched to night-sky research at the Naval Ordnance Test Station, Inyokern, California with an office in Pasadena. But in 1952 the Locanthis' second daughter was born, and Dorothy went back to full-time motherhood until 1962, seven years after their only son, Bart, Jr., was born. Then she was able to get a half-time job at Caltech under Jesse Greenstein, measuring and analyzing his spectrograms of S stars, especially R Andromedae. However, that job ended in 1969 as a result of cuts of government funding of scientific research. But in 1972 Dorothy succeeded in getting another half-time job, this one at JPL. By then her husband was a highly successful engineer, but she lived for science and continued at JPL well into the 1980's, though at reduced hours.

    Dorothy loved scientific research, especially measuring and analyzing the spectra of late-type stars, at which she was a master. Mathematically highly gifted, she was an excellent numerical computer, but in the wartime and government projects she was generally assigned to supervise numbers of less adept women, a duty she did not relish. Her published papers on Antares, β Pegasi, S stars, and molecules in cool stars are her great monuments. She enjoyed travel and attending meetings, and presented papers at numerous AAS, ASP, and IAU sessions.

    In the early 1990's Dorothy began suffering short-term memory problems. After that she lived with one or the other of her two daughters, Jeanne McLaughlin and Carol Ann Wainwright. Dorothy never had the permanent, full-time research position in astrophysics for which her training, experience, and published papers clearly qualified her, but she certainly made the most of the opportunities she did have.

    There are a number of letters to, from, and about Dorothy in the Mary Lea Shane Archives of the Lick Observatory, University of California, Santa Cruz and in the Mount Wilson Observatory Collection, Huntington Library, San Marino. An obituary article for her was published in Physics Today, 53, April issue, p. 88, 2000.
