Picking Parking Apart
The Chronicle
The asphalt may not always be closer on the other side. For years, Duke drivers have complained about major parking problems at the University, and many have been re-energized by the elimination of the Ocean parking lot. But every major university seems to struggle to satisfy parking demands, and each has crafted its own unique solution to the widespread problem. The loss of the 450 Ocean spaces over the summer resulted

University’s policy toward international students by as early as next year. The International Affairs Committee, a group of administrators and faculty with an interest in the international community, released a report last March and has formed the Ambassador Duke Scholarship Program. The initiative will raise $1 million by the end of the academic year to serve as a base endowment for undergraduate financial aid for foreign students. “We are seeking to be an international university and there are an enormous number of components that make up an international university,” said Bruce Kuniholm, vice provost for international affairs and development. “It shouldn’t just be wealthy foreign students, but students who have the capabilities to be good Duke students but don’t have the wherewithal to make it so they can come.” The lAC worked with Jim Belvin, director of undergraduate financial aid, and Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions.

DEBORAH WILLIS was recently named a MacArthur Fellow and given its $500,000 “genius grant" over five years. She now teaches a course at Duke and the University of North Carolina. can be simply stated: It is not every day that one has the opportunity to take a class with one of the 15-20 annual recipients of the Mac Arthur. The fellowship, commonly known as a “genius grant,” provides each recipient with $500,000 over a five-year period to pursue personal projects. “I never thought I would get anything like that,” Willis said. She is especially happy that she can now pursue two of her own projects, rather than simply critiquing the work of others. The first of her projects will look at the life of female body builders.
