Today's Cal Kickoff game program features tailback Shane Vereen on the cover. The corresponding profile on the Golden Bear tailback was written by back-up kicker David Seawright, an aspiring journalist who covered Cal's track & field team for the Daily Californian last spring.

Other stories to check out include a feature on defensive lineman Derrick Hill and his community service activities; water polo legacy Charlie Steffens; freshman wide receiver Keenan Allen; and a quick look at the eight new members of the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame who were enshrined in ceremonies last night. The group, which represents the 25th class of inductees, will be introduced at halftime today.
