In Brief
Construction-affected changes at Homewood
announced
Preliminary work on Homewood's Decker Quadrangle
construction project has accelerated, necessitating several
changes to pedestrian and vehicular routes around campus;
some are temporary and some permanent. As previously
announced, the parking lots south of Garland Hall are
officially closed as of today, Sept. 6; the service road
and parking spaces between those lots and Shriver and
Barton halls are also closed. The east door to Clark Hall
(the center door facing the construction site) will remain
closed for the duration of the construction.
A map on the Facility Management Web site shows the
footprint of the area enclosed by the construction fence
and also has more detailed information on closures, detours
and other construction-related changes. To see the map, go

Homewood/Eastern shuttle adds stops; two routes
created
The new Homewood parking system, which assigns parkers
to specific facilities on the campus and at the Ellerslie
Avenue satellite lot at Johns Hopkins at Eastern, goes into
effect today, Sept. 6.
Responding to suggestions from members of the parking
system, the shuttle service has been enhanced between the
two campuses. Stops have been added, and two routes have
been created to maximize riders' ability to get to their
stop quickly. The red buses will travel clockwise around
the campus, stopping at MSEL, South Gate, South West Gate,
West Gate, Bloomberg and North Gate before returning to
Ellerslie Shelter. The blue buses will travel
counterclockwise, with stops at Muller, San Martin Garage
pull-in, Olin, Wyman Park Building and Shriver before
returning.

Middle East is focus of 'Transatlantic' summer
issue
With the withdrawal of Israeli settlers from Gaza, the
drafting of a new constitution in Iraq and the rising price
of oil, Transatlantic: Europe, America & the World
has released a special summer issue on the Middle East. The
magazine is published by the Center for Transatlantic
Relations at SAIS.
Leaders on both sides of the Atlantic have stressed
that finding a lasting peace in the region will be a key
goal of transatlantic relations in 2005, and this special
Middle East issue calls upon numerous experts to weigh in
on various issues of importance.
Among them, Javier Solana, the European Union's High
Representative for the Common and Foreign Security Policy,
discusses the EU's role in Iraq and Afghanistan, the role
of the "Quartet" in securing a solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian problem, NATO's role and the EU's goal
of spreading democracy to the region; Dennis Ross, former
Middle East peace negotiator for two presidents, gives his
views on how peace can be achieved; Rockwell Anthony
Schnabel, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to the EU in
Brussels, comments on transatlantic business developments
in the Middle East; and Fadel Lamen, a native of Libya and
editor of Hi magazine distributed throughout the Middle
East, points out the growing role of the uncensored media
in the region.
Also in this issue, Robert J. Guttman, editor-in-chief
of Transatlantic, gives an analysis of American
foreign policy from President Harry Truman to George W.
Bush.
