Four alumni, including two current trustees, have been nominated
to Duke's board of trustees by the executive committee of the Duke
Alumni Association's board of directors. They are Paula Hannaway
Crown '80, Susan Matamoros Stalnecker '73, Carol Louise "Cookie" Anspach
Kohn '60, and Lanty L. Smith J.D. '67.
Duke's charter calls for the election of one-third of its trustees
by graduates of the university. Every two years, in odd-numbered
years, the terms of four of the twelve alumni trustees expire.
The DAA's executive committee nominates and submits a list of names
to the university secretary for submission to the trustees. Four
names are then approved for final submission to the alumni body,
