Wendy Schiller, associate pro-essor o political science and pub-

by Obama, sh sad. Mst studtslook at Obama through the lens opartsashp, sh sad.

errence George 13, presidento the Republican Club o BrownUniversity, suggested a similar ex-paat.

National Democratic approvalratings usually translate into slightlymore votes because Democrats aremore likely to get support romgroups that are less polled, like people

who do not speak English as theirrst language and the inner city poor,Pattrs sad.

holds a mirror up to the audience,Dunn said. Most o us dont realizewhat wr k wh wr agry.

Ive been called everything,said Bonnie Brown, who hasworked in parking enorcement orthree years. Te rst two weeksI was up here, I was in tears, shesaid. Tey park illegally, and Imth assh.

But now, she shrugs o the trashtak, sh sad. Ty dt kw Im a whr, sh quppd.

Bonnie Browns stretch is TayerStrt, rg Prspt t Hpstreets and Waterman to Lloydstrts. Sh sad sh ks th r-dom o being outside all day shewaks a tta abut 0 ms, as

she once calculated on a pedometer.In a new episode that premiered

ast Saturday ght, B Brwbattled a rebellious parker whilemay amar Tayr Strt sghtsappard th bakgrud, suhas the CVS mural and Pleasant Sur-prss rt wdw.

On average, Bonnie Brown gives

out about 60 tickets a day duringthe week and 80 on Fridays. Shesad thr ar thr ars sh gs atkt t ry sg day. Tughshe does not know who the owners

are, she knows their plate numbersby heart and said she thinks theyprbaby wrk r th Ursty.

Parking is very difcult all yearround on College Hill, BonnieBrw sad. S may spas artwo-hour parking only, its just likemusical cars every two hourspp m thr ars t athrspt. Brw mpys kw thgame. I you work or Brown,yur gd at parkg, sh sad.

Its dty ray dfut td parkg arud ampus, sadCaitlin Brisson 12. Dealing withtime-limited parking spaces is a

hass, sh sad, baus yu hato move your car or you get ticketedpretty immediately. Finding park-ing around campus in the middle th day s spay dfut b-cause the area is so busy. Brissonsaid there have been times when she

searched or a parking space or 20muts br ay dg .

Brisson, who lives close to Tay-er Street, said she oen sees BonnieBrw patrg ad ars parkgat her house have received ticketsr bg th sdwak r bg

Bonnie Brown said the Park-ing Wars lm crew spent aboutur wks ast yar wg hraround her post. Filming the showwas more difcult than she expect-ed, she said, because she is not usedt stppg t pa ut ud th

violation or every ticket she issues.I dt wat t stad thr ad

get chewed out by drivers, she said.I hit and run and get out o there.

Dunn said lming the show haschanged the way he sees the streets.Many people assume that i theypark illegally or just a ew minutes,it is unlikely that any danger willcome o it. But parking enorcershave seen everything, Dunn said.

Once, while the ilm crew wasworking, a blind man literallywalked into a car parked on thesdwak, h sad.

One thing he has noticed that

amazs hm s that mr pppark or two minutes to go to AMs

in Providence than Ive seen any-where else, he said. He has seenpeople park illegally, walk right pasta parkg rr ad m bakrom the AM with a $30 ticket,which he calls the most expensiveAM r.

Srgat Pau Zwz, m-manding ofcer o the trafc bureau

But he added, people dont like

to be inconvenienced oen driv-ers will choose to double-park thanto park hal a block away rom astr thy ar hpg t gt adut quky.

hough irritated car ownerssometimes claim enorcers donthave real jobs, Zienowicz and Dunn

disagreed. Dunn pointed out that

Bonnie Brown keeps trafc owing Tayr Strt wh st aw-g truks t suppy ts bussss.Without that, I dont know whatwould happen to activity on Tayer

Strt, Du sad.Since Brisson has had her car on

College Hill or a ew years, she saidshe has learned to navigate parking

better, but added that the abilityto nd parking denitely variesevery day. She said she knows many

people who have cars on campus,and that the overall consensus isthat there is a lack o student park-g at Brw.

Other students echoed Brissonsoutlook on parking on College Hill.Dmitry Vagner 12 said he knowsseveral people who have gottenparking tickets, both rom Provi-

dences and rom the Universitysparkg rmt, ad sad thparking situation causes lots ostrie. Michelle Gra 13 said shemight bring a car to campus thissummer and is already nervousabout nding parking. I think itmight be a disaster to park, shesad.

College Hill parking triggers student frustration

about you, he said, congratulatingthe students or standing out among

29,000 applicants or the class o 2016.Miller advised prospective stu-

dents to stand on the Main Green ora visceral experience o Brown and totrust their hearts and stomachs not

their brains when making theirutmat g ds.

We ully expect the class o 2016t b th sg bst ass th hs-try Brw, Mr sad, tghrs rm th aud.

Schlissel also cited the Universitys

student body, aculty, location andopen curriculum as reasons or at-tdg. Yu ar hw t ar,he said, emphasizing that students atBrown are given both the reedomand the responsibility to cra theirduata pr.

Prospective students reiteratedthese actors as incentives or choos-ing Brown. Jasmine Perez rom NewYork City said she was attracted to the

open curriculum and the vibrancy othe student body. Everybody is really

T st Dubus rad w brie anecdotes o his siblings and hisaimless boyhood shaped by boredomad prty.

Renowned academics, business-men, journalists and politiciansrom around the world gathered on

campus yesterday to exchange ideas,

rs ad aayss th urcrisis in a conerence entitled TeFailure o the Euro? Causes andConsequences or Europe and Be-yond. Co-sponsored by the WatsonIsttut r Itrata Studsand the William R. Rhodes Centeror International Economics andFa, th r sstdo ve panels and a keynote speaker.

Proessor o Political ScienceMark Blyth, who organized the

conerence, emphasized that itsunusual structure and departurerom pure academia set it apartrm mst aadm rs.Vry w aadms gt bardwith people who do policy orpeople who do nancial marketst tak abut a ssu that s rycontemporary, he told Te Herald.

Its what the Watson Institute isr, Byth addd. Its a pa thathas a py ra ag but sbasd th Ursty.

Proessor o Economics RossLevine, who assisted Blyth in or-ganizing the conerence, said theconversation is vital because the

crisis aects the global economy,not just Europe. While many othe U.S. newspapers are ocused onthe presidential elections right now,

dpmts Eurp ar a bgdeal or the U.S. and other coun-tries around the world, Levine toldTe Herald. Tere are disagree-ments among the European powers

about how to proceed and ears that

whats going on will cause a depres-sion in Europe with reverberations th U.S. ad swhr.

We have to wonder why didthis happen and what can be done,L addd.

Aer a morning dominated bythree distinct interdisciplinary pan-els, Martin Wol, associate editorad h m mmtatror the Financial imes, gave thekyt addrss t a rwdd au-ditorium o conerence attendeesad studts.

Wr ry uky t ha hm,Blyth told Te Herald o Wol.Rght rm th start, wh th -aa rss kkd , hs ba ras maatg rmth Faa ms.

Even i you disagree with someo his conclusions or some o hisanalysis, hes always someone totd wth, Byth addd.

In his speech, Wol outlined sev-en points to summarize his view on

the potential or the euro to survive.

Calling himsel a euro-skeptic, hebegan by saying that the creation th ur was a bad da thrst pa. H ward rparticipants against the dangers obeing too brave, advising that it isar bttr t t b hr -nomic policy. Tat said, he wenton to advocate against dismantlingthe euro system. Foreseeing serious

prbms ay attmpt t d s,he likened the euro to an economic

mt.

Unmaking omelets is reallyqut hard t d, h addd.

Wol spent the bulk o hisspeech giving technical explana-ts what h bs th EurZone needs to achieve, why un-derstanding the crisis will be thebasis or success and what the crisisatuay tas. H rd a brblueprint o how the Euro Zoneds t b rrmd, prssgconcerns about ideological, politi-a ad m bstas.

Will it survive? Id give it 50-

0, W udd.Wol added that he might be

shot rom all sides aer givinghis opinion, a reerence to the widerag drgg ad tgperspectives presented in variouspanels throughout the day in-cluding Proessor-at-Large Romano

Prodi, the ormer prime minister Itay wh was th ky ar-htts th ur.

During the rst panel, threeprominent economists StephenKinsella, economics lecturer at Uni-

versity o Limerick, Simon ilord,chie economist at the Center or

European Reorm, and AmarBhide, proessor at the FletcherSchool o Law and Diplomacy atus University explained theorigins o the crisis rom three di-rt ags.

Te days second panel juxta-posed the opinions and experienceso members o the private sector,politicians and representatives othe media. Douglas Borthwick,managing director and head otrading at Faros rading, JamesKiernan 74 rom CornerstoneCapital, Alred Gusenbauer, ormer

chancellor o Austria and proessoremeritus, David Brancaccio romAmerican Public Media and Beth-any McLean, a contributing editorat Vaty Far, dsussd ratsto the crisis in the media and inth markts.

Brthwk, a tradr, brk thmold by oering an optimistictake on a crisis seen by many asusab.

Blyth told Te Herald. Everyone issayg, T sky s ag, ad hssayg, I s yu a umbra.

Brthwk attrbutd th ary-ing opinions among panelists to

the dierent sectors rom which

participants hailed, specicallyptg t msts dsr rmda attt.

Fear sells. An economistout there who just wrote a bookwants press, Borthwick told TeHerald. Teyre so wrapped up inear sells that no one is learningabut suts.

Discussing his unorthodoxvantage p oint, he explained thatmpathy st taught a tradgcourse. A trader sees an oppor-tuty ad ss th way t tak t,

Hrs a guy wh usd t ruItay, ad hrs a guy wh usd trun Austria, Blyth said. Maybe we

Experts on another panel com-pared the current crisis to previousones to give it historical context and

perspective, and during the nalpanel o the day respected scholarsquestioned whether Europe will beab t sur th ur.

Tough the lack o consensuswas oen evident, panelists andrespondents agreed that the or-mat and structure o the conerence
