The fellowship is valued at $17,000 over the nine-month school year, plus a cost of education allowance. They are renewable for up to five years and can be held at various leading institutions in the U.S..

Jaywalking students and busy motorists made the intersection a dangerous place. "We recommended that the street be closed because students were in danger, and some even felt that motorists were trying to run into them," said Richard Conant, chairman of the USC oalety Committee. "It took some time to get the street closed because we had to go through the city," Conant said. "Two years ago City Council approved of the closing of the street and gave us the go ahead," Conan said. "The city's only role was approving of the closure of the road, and USC paid for the concrete barriers with their own funds," said Robert Lee, the superintendent of the Traffic Operations Department for the city of Columbia. Student opinion of the street closure and of the barriers varies.

"It's an inconvenience. I drove down Devine looking for a parking space and had to turn around. I didn't like that very much," junior Wendy Hardin said.

"Baker and Burney will be demolished to make room for the Graduate Science Research Center." Students displaced will be housed in residence halls to be built as part of j| USC's master plan.
