LETTER: Stanford unfairly criticized

In regards to your article “Sears Cup standings name
athletic department No. 2″ (June 26-June 30), I felt it was
unfair to criticize the six-time Sears Cup-winning Stanford
athletics program for fielding more teams than UCLA.

Stanford should be commended for its melding of athletic and
academic excellence. The school’s effort and success at
offering its 6,500 undergraduates a wide spectrum of opportunities
for male and female student athletes should serve as a role model
for all schools. Even UCLA, with its 20,000-plus undergraduate
population.
