Douglas Smith, Doris Linderoth, Grace McClees, Jay Cook, Frances Patterson. Published monthly by and for the staff of Duke Univer sity Medical Center, Box 3354, Durham, North Carolina, FROM THE DESK OF: BARNES WOODHALL. M. D. Associate Provost There is a traditional University story that any president of a modern educational system can succeed if he does three things well. (1) For the Alumni, he must provide winning athletic teams; (2) for the stu dents, he must provide a happy en»/ironment for stud ent activities; and (3) for the faculty, he must provide suitable parking facilities. A good university med ical center must do these things as well. However, medicine conducts itself under a primary ethic, and so there is a fourth "thing to do well." A good medical center must concern itself with patient care, which includes parking for patients, too. The parking situation for our patients and their visitors has been acute for a long time, and this is true for faculty and staff as well. Our patients are not only late for appointments, but those who are disa bled must walk long distances. Until the Main Entrance Building developed, patients had two choices upon en tering - walk up six steps or be carried. Inclement weather is a further nuisance. The Medical Center's program to resolve some of these problems has finally been approved. In essence, it es tablishes these points: (1) The present patients and visitors' parking lot and the upper main entrance park ing area will be converted, through the use of parking gates and toll attendants, to reasonable-fee parking facilities, (2) Conservative amortization plans will allow construction of a parking garage at the location of the first two Graduate Center parking lots adjacent to Yearby Street, (3) Completion of the Main Entrance canopy to protect the Outpatient Department and the Private Diagnostic Clinic entrances. (4) Attendants at these entrances for elderly and infirm patients. (5) New and temporary staff parking lots or peripheral- parking shuttle service during construction periods. (6) Continued development of restricted and gated park ing areas as resources. The last issue of- INTERCOM stressed the possible es tablishment of group-riding. I trust that the staff of the Medical Center will entertain this concept, and that of faculty fees for parking as this develops in the near future. The transitional period may be diffi cult, but at least we have started I PROFESSIONAL NEWS Dr. Montrose J.
