Three Others Promoted
MPDC Executive Director Named
JAMES C. MAU
James C. Mau, who has held a number
of administrative positions in the
Department of Medicine and in the
Medical Private Diagnostic Clinic (MPDC)
over the past 12 years, has been named
executive director of the MPDC.
The executive directorship is a new
position, established in part to provide
close coordination between the MPDC
and the departments comprising the clinic
in the further development of an
ambulatory health-care delivery system.
At the same time, three promotions to
positions within the MPDC have been
announced:
— Ralph Hawkins, business manager of
the MPDC since 1969, is the new director
of the clinic. He succeeds Clarence Cobb
who had been at Duke in various
capacities since 1933. Until his retirement
this summer, Cobb had been business
manager of the MPDC from 1938 until
five years ago when he was named
director.
— Edward A. Daw, administrative
assistant in pediatric cardiology since
1970, was promoted to assistant business
manager.
—William J. Donelan was promoted

A revision in parking and traffic
regulations will go into effect
university-wide beginning Sept. 1.
Changes of primary importance to
Medical Center personnel are these:
REGISTRATION FEE-The annual
registration fee for each motor vehicle
driven onto the campus and parked by
faculty, staff, students, employees and
others who work on the campus will
increase from $10 a year to $20.
The increase in the registration fee was
explained in a letter to all Duke personnel
by Vice President Charles Huestis, who
noted that the revenue from the fee
during the past year was "insufficient for
maintenance and improvement of parking
and traffic facilities."
At the Medical Center, no patient-care
revenue is used to pay for parking
facilities, and the cost for construction of
new lots and maintenance of existing
parking and traffic facilities must come
from the people who use them.
The new $20 fee may be paid in cash
at the time of registration or it may be
paid by payroll deduction. (The
published parking and traffic regulations
Indicate that the payroll-deductlon fee is
$24, but this fee has been reduced to
$20, the same charge as if paid in cash.)
The annual fee will cover the period
from Sept. 1, 1974 to Aug. 31, 1975. A
scaled-down fee of $14 will be charged
for vehicles registered between Jan. 1 and
April 31; and $8 for vehicles registered
between May 1 and Aug. 31. Payroll
deduction payment will not be offered
after Dec. 31.
The fee for motorcycles is one-half the
fees listed above.
Harry Gentry, director of the Medical
Center Parking and Traffic Office, noted
that while the Duke fee is doubling, it
still will be lower than those charged at
neighboring institutions.
At the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill, Gentry said, the fee Is $72 a
year for persons earning $9,000 or above
and $26 for those who earn under
$9,000. At North Carolina State
University in Raleigh, the fees are $35 for
students and $55 for faculty, staff and
other employees.
REGISTRATION PERIOD-Vehicles
will be registered in Duke Hospital on
Aug. 19-21 and at other points on the
medical campus the rest of that week and
the following week. A complete schedule
of registration points and times, plus
instructions on what documents are
required to be brought to register
vehicles, will be published in the Aug. 16
issue of INTERCOM.
GATED LOTS/PAY
PARKING--Registration fee will be
included in the cost of paid parking for
personnel who purchase parking spaces in
gated lots, on Flowers Drive or on the top
deck of the Parking Garage. However, it
will cover one vehicle only. Persons who
want to receive paid parking decals for an
additional vehicle must pay the
registration fee of $20 for the second
vehicle.
TEMPORARY PARKING
P E R M I TS - - When an Individual's
registered vehicle cannot be driven to
work (because it is in the repair shop or
for some other reason), a temporary decal
must be obtained. The past practice of
allowing people to write a note and place
it in the windshield of their unregistered
vehicle will no longer be permitted
because of violations of that privilege
over the past year.
Temporary decals may be obtained
dally from 7-9 a.m. at the Parking Garage.
A person may drive through the garage to
the exit booth (he will not be charged for
driving through the garage even though he
must take a ticket from the meter as he
enters). The garage attendant will issue a
14-day temporary decal that can be
renewed one time. There will be no
charge for the 14-day decal.
Short-term temporary decals may be
purchased for a period of 30 days for $3.
They also may be renewed one time.
After 9 a.m., temporary decals must
be obtained at the Medical Center Parking
and Traffic Office in Room 314 Bell
Building.
(For persons parking on the campus
other than at the Medical Center,
temporary permits must be obtained at
the central Traffic Office on Campus

LOCKER ROOM
RENOVA T!ONS-\i
you have been in the ^
vicinity of the
employee locker room
recently, you've
probably noticed a lot
of hard hats busy at
work, building up a
storm. These dust-laden
men are involved in the
process of tearing down
walls and installing new
lockers and other
features to expand this
area and make it a more
pleasant environment.
Along with the
remodeling, which is
scheduled to be
completed by the end
of August, additional
lockers will be made
available for
environmental and food
service employees and
medical stu dents.

In Case of Emergency
Whom Should You Call?
Need an ambulance fast?
Then dial 2444 from a campus phone
If the person stricken is on Duke
property, says Lt. John Goodfellow, the
university's assistant chief of police.
But if the person is off-campus and
outside the Duke Forest, the number to
call is local 911, the lieutenant added.
Confusion about whom to call for an
ambulance cropped up early in July when
Beacon Ambulance Service of Raleigh
began covering Durham County.
Some citizens who didn't know how
to contact Beacon or who weren't sure
the company could respond promptly
enough called for the Duke emergency
van, stationed outside the hospital
emergency room.
These calls were answered, Goodfellow
said, as a public service. Now that Beacon
has five ambulances In Durham County,
however, the Duke van is responding to
on-campus calls only.
Those requests need not be
emergencies, Goodfellow added.
"If a student Is sick In the dispensary
or if he has a broken leg and can't walk,
then we'll transport him to the hospital,"
he explained. The number for
non-emergencies on campus is also 2444.
There's no charge for the service.
Jim Huffstetler, president of Beacon,
said from Raleigh that his company never
allows all five of Its Durham ambulances
to be tied up at the same time with
routine trips.
"There's always one available for
