Macintyre: I guess from the first moment I became aware of Metropolitan State College, in December of 1978. The initial contacts that were made with me about my interests in the position indicated that there were serious concerns about the Auraria concept and about what the future of that cente concept was going to be.

What I didn't expect was that there was going to be as many pendulum swings in the discussions. I came out one time and there were concerns about whether the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) was going to absorb Metro. When I came -out next time the concerns were about whether Metro was going to absorb UCD. I was surprised by the various kinds of meanderings of the legislature as far as what they were going to do with the idea here.

Obviously with the introduction of the Fowler bill (containing a provision to merge Metro and UCD) that created concerns in my mind as to whether of not there would be an institution here to be president of, or secondly whether I would be the shortest-lived president in the history of Metro. As I told the board (of trustees) I have no intention of being the last president of Metro; that I didn't come here to oversee the demise of an institution.

Auraria Parking Director Ben Walton said his office will begin an intensive "aggressive towing campaign" in the campus parking lots beginning on August l.

Only 25 "flagrant violators" were towed from the campus since the summer semester began, Walton said, but that will change as one tow truck will be assigned on the campus on a Public Safety officer will be put on daily towing dutv.

"The Auraria Board was $70,000 short for the 1979 bond repayment," he said. "We cannot continue in this deficit financial posture."

By law, parking revenues go towards a $3.5 million bond repayment.

Walton said his office is not legally bound to notify those who have outstanding tickets, but he is "making every effQrt" to notify scofflaws when they are in danger of being towed. Now, Auraria will tow a car which has piled up four

more tickets and the tow fee is $15 plus the payment of all outstanding tickets.

After Aug. l, he said, the campu,s will tow after three unpaid tickets and the tow fee will be $20.

Walton said a letter will be sent to 5,000 Auraria commuters warning them of the change in towing policy. ''An aggressive and vigorous towing campaign will be started and continued in. definitely," the letter states, "until there isn't a vehicle to tow because none is located on campus with three or more citations or are found parked in a towaway area." ''That is why it is important that everyone with outstanding citations pay them. If the people paid the fines or paia to park to begin with we wouldn't have to tow," he said.

Johnson gets V.P. post In his first major personnel move since taking office June l, Metropolitan State College (MSC) President Donald Macintyre appointed Jerald B. Johnson July 16 as the new Vice President for College Relations.

The new position replaces the office of Vice President for Administration and Development at MSC. Robert O'Dell, previous vice president of the nowdefunct office, is on a year's sabbatical and will return to MSC in a teaching capacity.

Johnson. hired after a month-long search, was formerly the Vice President for University Relations at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley.

Johnson served as assistant to UNC President Richard Bond from 1972-77.

Johnson previously worked at the University of Illinois and Illinois State

Johnson said building support for MSC in the Colorado General Assembly is his prime duty.

"The idea," he said, "is to have it SO• the legislators in the five-county (Denver)• metropolitan area are ours.."

Johnson believed his previous work at UNC with the legislature-"l'm really,. good at it, frankly" -was the main fac~ ter in his hiring.

Welcome to Jimmy's holiday cainpW!

By Sal Ruibal

President Jimmy Carter announced today he was requesting the resignations of every man, woman and child in America. The president said he would review every resignation, with a final announcement of the eventual make-up of the American Public due by Friday.

Carter said the current "Crisis of Confidence" stems from a lack of "team players" in America, and the resignations are a means of eliminating the disloyal elements currently blocking the path to oil independence, lower inflation, and a second term.

Insiders report the president will accept the resignations of Ronald Reagan, Phillip Crane, Howard Baker, George Bush, -Jerry Brown and Ted Kennedy.

Others facing a possible nationality change include Daniel Ellsberg, Bella Abzug and the State of· California.

Possible replacements include the Shah of Iran,

Anastacio Somoza, Ian Smith and Idi Amin.

As part of Carter's efforts to convince the American public of the seriousness of the crisis, Hamilton Jordan disclosed plans to build hundreds of summit locations where ordinary Americans could study the nation's problems in depth, much like the President's Camp David retreat. These camps would house those whose resignations are accepted by the President. Jordan said that citizenship would be offered to those Americans who showed "significant progress" while at the mini-summits.

When asked how long the summits would take, Jordan replied, "They're doing wonderful things with drugs these days, so I would not anticipate stays of longer that five-to-seven years, with time off for good political behavior."

Carter has appointed Archie Gulapalago, former aide to the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, as Chief of Confidence Camps. Gulapalago was instrumental in the release of thousands of South Korean dissidents into the

South China Sea last year as part of that country's amnesty plan.

Gulapalago announced that the camps will set the standard for America in the field of energy "Conservation. "There will be no labor-saving devices in my camps," he said. "We will use our God-given strength and numbers to accomplish the mission at hand."

Projects include the total strip-mining of Kentucky using only sharpened sticks.

Gulapalago released copies of the Citizen Evaluation Form that will aid the President in deter- ~ mining which Americans must attend the camps. He said the form will be filled out by Neighborhood Energy Captains and include such topics as "When does your neighbor go to work?", "When does he return?" and "ls he loyal to the goals of the Administration?" Captains will be appointed by a neutral party, such as the National Security Agency.

Public reaction has been slight due to the fact the ' speech was televised opposite "Lav~rne and Shirley."

An Auraria barnyard fable .

By Frank Mullen

There is the story of the West Virginia farmer who decided his henhouse was being run very inefficiently.

His yield·was less than it ought to be, eggs were being / broken needlessly, an4 the conditions on his farm dated from the last century.

Tbe farmer embarked on an efficiency campaign never before seen in the county. He fired his farm hands, bought new and modem machines, and rebuilt every building on his farm.

The changes were swift and the finished barnyard was a model of efficiency. There was only one problem: all the chickens died.

"I guess," the farmer said, "them chickens just didn't understand progress."

There is a parallel to this story at Aurarla. Last year, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) identified "problems of duplication" in both non-academic support services arid academic programs among the three institutions on the Auraria campus.

The legislature, committed to "trimming the fat" off the higher education budget, passed a bill calling for the review ofthe.Auraria situation by January 15, 1980.

Over the past few weeks the CCHE, the Auraria Board of Directors, and the three campus institutions have been working feverishly to develop proposals to eliminate the duplication and run the campus more efficiently.

All parties are working under a strict deadline: the law states the campus will be reviewed by the CCHE and

the legislature and can undergo "continuance, ·restruc- turing, or termination" at that time.

One of the "restructuring" possibilities is a merger of the University of Colorado-Denver and Metropolitan State College. This option, which received support from both the Auraria Board and the CCHE, would eliminate duplication. It might also eliminate some of the goals of urban education which MSC has been reaching since its inception.

MSC has been fulfilling the needs of urban Denver.

The college, through its open admissions policy, is accessable to anyone in the state who wishes to further their education. - With its nontraditional programs, , MSC uses the surrounding community as a learning laboratory.

Metro's classes are scheduled to accomodate its older, working students. Many MSC students admit tbey would have never continued their educations if they had to attend a "traditional" university such as UCBoulder. . With all its parking problems and central management difficulties, Auraria may still represent the greatest educational bargain in Colorado. The faculty gets by on less office space than the faculty at many other institutions. The classrooms are in use from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. All three institutions have programs which interact with the community.

What problems there are can be solved within the existing framework. Modifications in the management systems must be made, but not at the expense of the roles and missions of these three unique institutions.

~~.;~!"• \"~ ~ Boulder offers respite from city

,

By Joan Conrow If you enjoy hiking and climbing, yet hunger for some new trails to explore and sights to see, why not spend the day in Boulder?

Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain and surrounded by a greenbelt, this small city has quite a different atmosphere than Denver, as well as an abundance of open space and clean air.

Because of the long, wet winter, the hills around Boulder are unseasonably green, with frequent bursts of color due to the plentitude of wildflowers.

Although there are many lovely spots to hike in, the two suggested in this article are particular favorites of mine.

For a full day's hike and a breathtaking view of the Flatirons and Boulder, Mesa Trail is an excellent choice. To reach the most popular trailhead, (there are two), take the Baseline exit off Highway 36. Head west approximately eight miles to Chatauqua Park. A bumpy, narrow road then takes you the one-quarter mile to Bluebell

Shelter.

Here, with the majestic Flatirons almost touchably close, amongst the knee-high grass, wildflowers and shady trees, are several trails. All trails are marked from easy to difficult, so that even the most sedentary and hardy of nature lovers can find their niche.

The Mesa Trail, although having many ups and downs, is difficult mainly because of its length·. Be prepared for a six mile hike, one-way. You will end pat the South entrance to the trail, close to Eldorado Springs. Therefore, it's necessary to arrange a car shuttle if you can't quite face the walk back.

Mesa Trail, winding up through the greenbelt, is high, providing a bird's-eye view of Boulder and the outlying areas.

On days when the brown cloud dissipates, even Denver is visible.

If you find yourself on the trail towards twilight, keep an eye open for feeding deer. You may also be surprised by the incredible beauty of the Flatirons in the changing, dimming light.

Besides a picnic lunch and comfor-

table shoes, be sure to bring plenty of drinking water as none is available along the way.

Once a popular resort, visited by such VIPs as President Eisenhower, historic Eldorado Springs is still one of the most beautiful spots in Boulder County. Although located just seven miles south of Boulder off Highway 93, this little community is almost in another world. Besides being home to approximately 200 lovers of solitude and nature, this small canyon, tucked away in the foothills, also houses a riding stable, a thermal pool filled with natural Artesian spring water, and a State Park.

Eldorado Springs in perhaps most popular with rock climbers. The awesome, beautifully colored sheer rock walls of the canyon, provide quite a challenge to anyone so inclined to scramble up them. On any given day, winter or summer, rain or shine, one might see two to twenty of these adventurous human flies, inching their way to the top. The International Alpine School is located in the canyon for anyone who wishes to take a one day to two week -course to learn h~w to conquer these formi~able formations.' ·. ·

For those of you who prefer a cold beer and a sandwich to perching on a rock several hundred feet above the ground, picnic grounds are available.

You can relax under the trees by clear, cold South Boulder Creek, while feasting your eyes on Wild Roses,, Blackeyed Susans and Bluebonnets. Wildflowers are still out in full force.

There are many places to hike that ii are off the beaten path, but as most of the area around the park is private property, respect the No Trespassing signs. There are no officially marked trails, so there is a potential for getting lost. Admission to the park is $2.00 per car. No fires or camping are allowed, and bringing your own water is an excellent ' idea.

Horses may be rented from Lazy Ranch Stables for a daylight or moonlight ride. The Mesa Trait's South entrance is only a mile up the road, and is a favorite riding place for more experienced riders. ~ Next time you plan an outing, or want some place different to go, give Boulder a thought. You may be surprised to find so many beautiful spots exist almost in J?enver's backyard.

"igh altitude poses unique photo problems

By S. Peter Duray-Bito

,

Nearly everyone has a camera these days and nowhere is this more apparent than in the mountains . Hundreds of camera swinging tourists stop at roadside overlooks to capture the splendor of the mountains, however cliched they may be.

For the veteran mountain photographer, the true splendors lie in the deep back country and at odd times of the day .

Purists will insist on lugging a 4x5 Deardorff or Japanese-copy drop bed view camera. Though the camera itself is light, tripods and film holders can bog down even the most ardent hiker. That.is why master photographer Ansel Adams' mountain scenes seem so trite, however technically brilliant they may be. He pulls off the road and sets up his 8xl0 on top of his truck.

For t hose o f us mortals who can compromise with 35mm, there are two routes. The new breed of smaller-bodied 35mm SLRs offer a lightweight system with the flexibility of interchangeable lenses. All the major camera manufacturers produce down-size SLRs, so it's really six to one, half-dozen to the other.

Good lenses to take along include a 35mm wide-angle, a 50mm macro and a 200mm telephoto. Since light levels are usually high, buy the slower aperture lens because it will be smaller and lighter.

This type of system does take up room in the pack and its toll on your

back. The alternative, especially for climbers, is a small, single lens rangefinder camera. Rollei makes the excellent '35' series. Following an original German design, the camera features a collapsible (non-interchangeable) lens of very high quality. It has a lightmeter and shoots full frame 35mm, yet is about the size of a pack of cigarettes . It is priced very fairly between $100 and $200 depending on the model. ' Light in the mountains is very peculiar and unique. Because of the altitude, the light is mercilessly strong and contains a high proportion of ultraviolet rays. These rays cause film, especially color, to become hazy and blue. A must for any mountain photographer is an ultraviolet filter (known as UV Haze).

Another aspect of mountain light is things get very contrasty-much more so than the eye might realize. When shooting delicate color film, it is best to stay from high-contrast situations.

When shooting color, the happiest film in the mountains is Kodachrome when used in conjunction with a UV filter and a polarizing filter. Polarizers help filter out diffused light and bring sharper, more saturated color. Generally speaking, colors in the mountains are more accentuated in the morning and evening, when the sun's rays are low and mellow. As soon as the sun dips below the horizon, the blueness of the sky

The Rollei 35S dominates and everything will take on a bluish tinge.

Black and white can also be rewarding in the mountains. Any good black and white film will do, but more experienced photographers will overexpose the film by one stop over its rated ASA and then underdevelop. This procedure expands the tonal range to handle the extreme difference of light.

For example, with Kodak Plus-X

Pan film, set the camera's ASA setting to 64 (one stop more than 125). Take the film to a good lab and leav~ instructions ' to process for 64 ASA or if you do it yourself, process 25 percent less than normal (Plus-X in D-76 1: 1 regular is 7 minutes minus 25 percent equals about 5 minutes).

When using black and white film, disregard the age-old advice of shooting ~ with the sun behind you. That kind of flat lighting is boring. By shooting with the sun in front of you, shadows extend towards the camera and this creates bet"ter depth and adds brilliance to your photos.

Since some images in the mountains lend themselves better to black and white or to color, two camera bodies, one with color and one with black and white are recommended. Most of us have trouble getting one camera, so it's wise to buy the shorter 20 exposure rolls. That way you can load color in the morning and finish , the roll by noon. During the afternoon, black and white is more appropriate until sunset when you put another color roll in.

Naturally this little plan can be spoiled when you stumble across a rare and colorful alpine flower right in the early afternoon.

All in all, mountain photography is a wonderful and rewarding experience, especially if you take the initiative to seek out the surprises in the deep back country.

_.._ Macl~tyrefr~:i::::~ looking for, a merger or a consolidation?

Wh~t is the intention? Are they trying to save money? Do they feel like there are too many governing bodies over the colleges? What are they looking to cut out?

Macintyre: I'm not in a terribly good postion right now to answer that question

)

in terms of what is in the minds of the legislators. If you read the footnotes to the Jong appropriations bill and the Tancredo bil1 it's fairly clear they want some change down here. They obviously, and this is a perception on my part not having direct feedback, tliat they must be looking for a more cost-effective way to run this higher education complex. That they believe if they eliminate duplicative programs and duplicative services, then that.will return dollars to the ta.Xpayers of Colorado. They must feel there are cost savings to be generated here through the reduction or elimination of duplication.

It's been my position from the very beginning that when they put these three institutions down here there must have been an initial acceptance of duplication.

You can't have two baccalaureate degree institutions in the same physical facility and not have duplication. What I understimd is that because of the decline in enrollment the legislature is taking a new look at eliminating the duplicative programs that perhaps that will save us dollars. That's a perception on my part.

Metropolitan: A timetable has been set up to consolidate such things as job placement, foreign students services, veteran"s a ffairs offices, financial aid.

These plans have been presented to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) by the administrators of the two institutions. The CCHE has said in effect "well you have 9one a really good job so far but why don't you go back and look at some other areas such as admissions, registratons, payroll, and the offices of the chief executives and see if further consolidation is possible.''

Do you view that as a suggestion by

the CCHE to just look into it further, or, since the CCHE has actually the final say in the matter and controls the pursestrings that fund these things, do you view their comments on the consolidation of support services as a suggestion or as a directive?

Macintyre: What you are speaking to, Frank, is what came up at the Education Commission meeting last Friday. I was in attendance at that

meeting. It is my understanding through a question that was put to Dr. Kershner (director of the CCHE) that those were included as areas of further consideration in keeping with the report submitted by the Auraria Board. The Auraria Board as you recall, endorsed the proposal that had been developed by the chief executives of the institutions but said we better put something down on that report that indicates we are going to further consider those areas originally designated in the January letter from Dr. Kershner about duplication of services.

The difference in the two is that the Auraria Board had said that there had

been insufficient time to consider physically consolidating some of those areas. Whereas in Dr. Kershner's report . to the CCHE the phrase "physial consolidation" is omitted. It is my understanding from Dr. Kershner that it is his wish that we continue to look .at those areas for possible consolidation. Not so much in the same way we are talking about job placement but perhaps having the admissions area or financial aid

physically consolidated.

The institutions have expressed serious reservations about further consolidatons of those areas programs that directly affect the respective missions and goals of the institutions.

Metropolitan: How do you decide if a program is central to the student at Metro or central to the student at UCO? Macintyre: I'm not sure what others have used, but the principle that I have operated from in looking at the situation is that there are certain services that serve the student -as student. That is, in that person's role as a student. Academic advising, counseling, career planning, these

kinds of things are very central to the student as student. I don't feel the same way about the food service, for example.

The food service exists to feed anyone who is hungry and can afford to pay.

If the person gets ill, it's my view that the person can be made well by an outside agency. If that AHEC's contracting with someone to handl~ the student's health that's fine. In areas like that I took the stand that it was not central to the

mission of Metro that we have the food service or the bookstore or things like that. It's Jong been my view that it's been a mistake for J;tigher education ever to have gotten involved in the food business, the housing business, and so forth. Free enterprise delivers those services very far more effectively than can a college or a university. That was the general principle that I enunciated.

Metropolitan: As you know the Auraria Board serves in a landlord capacity for the three institutions on the one large Auraria campus. It has been implied by people in the past that all this continued oil next page

'Dracula~ .rises tO new heights : l.__~~~~B_y_J_a_n_:M~a_c_ki_·e~~~~~~ If some enterprising drive-in manager doesn't eventually team up Superman and Dracula as a double feature, the movie-going world will have 1 missed out on a natural-the Prince of 1 Light and the Prince of Darkness on the same bill. Just as Superman is stylish and ~eductive, maintaining exactly the right nalance between .seriousness and Camp, so is Dracula. One testimony to its effectivenes& in this regard was the reaction of the Monday night audience who watched it with me: mostly pre-adolescent boys, groups of womtn and girls, and coup\es.

Some of these-especially the couples-had come to scoff.

One such fun-seeking duo sat behind me. The giggles and snorts began with the opening shot of Dracula's English castle, its eerie spiked towers silhouetted against an ominous red sunset. Then came the scene on board the ship bearing Dracula's coffin to England. As usual, things are not going well there. But unlike the novel and previous filmed versions, this ship does not drift into port manned by a dead crew. Instead, it breaks up in a heavy sea on the rocks just below Dracula's new residence. Immediately, a large grey husky dog leaps to shore and runs into

the mist-shrouded entrance of a cave, seen and followed by one 'of the traditional principals of Bram Stoker' s classic thriller: Mina Von Helsing. When the camera picks her up again she is kneeling by the prostrate body of a man who wears a coat· trimmed with grey fur.

We don't see his face, but as we peer over his back through the camera's eye, two of his fingers curl around Mina's hand, which rests on the ground beside him.

And the couple behind me didn't titter once through the whole episode.

The sense of threat and urgency is established early, and it doesn't let up until the mating scene. (Are they obligatory now in such films?) This scene parallels the flying episode in Superman, but it obviously isn't trying to pass itself off as good clean fun, as did the one in Superman. Not with all that grappling and writhing in the darkness against tongues of red flame, shafts of red light. But in this, at least, Dracula, the Prince of Darkness, does seem to have an advantage over his more respectable counterpart, Superman: real sex and no bad poetry in a voice-over.

Dracula's ladies are suitably languid or spunky-affectingly handsome in something of the old Hammer Studio style (Hammer made a succession of

horror-genre movies in the 60s): rampant self primarily toward the end of the gypsy curls, snowy bosoms, full red lips, movie when Dracula is undergoing a painful and ·possibly (or so you think) and wide ingenuous eyes. Their prize for possessing these physical charms is Frank fatal comeuppance. In this climatic scene Langella as Dracula, not really my idea he rages and screams and throws himself of an irresistable Satyr, but maybe around like a rabid dog caught in a trap.

Hammer's Christopher Lee (The Wicker A very effective interminable moment.

To sum up, Dracula, like Superman, Man, most lately) is more to my taste.

The satanic gleam in Langella's big is an unexpectedly good film. Made in brown eyes sometimes almost looks like a England, the score was composed by the twinkle, but his portrayal contains many classical musician John Williams and sides, is richly layered while still highly performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Filmic qualities (pacing and suggestive and economical.

He is the suave nobleman with camera work) and special effects and art breeding and five centuries of direction (transformations and scenic cosmopolitan living behind him, the designs) are consistently top-notch, irresistable Svengali who can bend all reflecting the workmanlike expertise wills to his own, the magical beast who British technicians bring to even the more slips convincingly from bat to.man to dog outre film genres.

Supporting performances are also at crucial moments. But most of all Langella's Dracula is the Lover. In this above average, including one of the film can be found the novel's Vic- . better and more believable Renfields, an torian/Freudian roots. In such 19th cen- asylum full of convincing madmen, tury Gothic tales sexuality was repressed Donald Pleasence as a subtly comic and sublimated, acceptably transposed asylum director, and Laurence Olivier's into the equally strong but more respec- only slightly somnolent Von Helsing. All the cast takes the unlikely progression of table emotion of terror.

Reminiscent of Christopher Lee's events with appropriate seriousness, and reading of the role in Dracula Has Risen so, I'm pleased to report, did the audienFrom the Dead, Langella can also show ce. Even those who had obviously come us a Dracula who is languageless and to scoff, stayed to be entertained in totally bestial. This creature manifests it- respectful silence.

• The Metropolitan July 25, 1979 · Metropolitan: So far there has been some talk of transfering some departments from one school to another .

UCD, for instance, would get continued from page 10 an urban institution. Not an institution in philosophy, physics and the upper an urban setting, but an urban in- division course work in modern stitution. An institution truly dedicated languages, with the exception of Spanish. to meeting the needs of an urban area. On the other side of the coin, it has been There are few such institutions in the proposed that Metro handle the degree country. Metro has made a significant programs in education and urban studies.

If these things would be put into efstart in becoming an urban institution. fect and this type of consolidation is conIt is not, in my judgement, truly an urban in~itution where that modifying tinued what about all the questions term "urban" has real meaning surrounding the faculty and adthroughout the entire institution. I ministration of those transferred deparbelieve that will significantly differentiate tments? How will the department heads us from the University of Colorado at of a merged department be chosen?

Denver, which I do not believe has the Where will the administrators come same kind of mandate or the same kind from? What about tenure?

Macintyre: Before I answer those of priorities. I believe if we develop our urban thrust we will have no discussion questions, let me focus a little bit on the of merger because we will in fact be dif- process towards consolidation. The changes that you have described is the ferent. basis of a letter signed by myself and . Chancellor Haak. I told the commission ••Present this coupon for . . last Friday that letter, in my view, is a letter of an intent to continue the process of discussion. I do not believe anything in that letter is chisled in stone. We made it very clear that the process of discussion students and faculty is ongoing.

I 'h block west of West Classroom I withThe questions you have raised are very real questions. What happens to the I I tenure right of a Metro person who has transferred to UCD? Tenure has been regarded as a property right in this country. How do you transfer someone's property right? Thousands of detailed questions have to be asked and answered I I before we can implement these things.

Metropolitan: Isn't that difficult to I I do, considering January 15 deadline I I and the pressurethe from the CCHE to get 1 1 moving on this?

Macintyre: I really don't know what has to be presented to the legislature is 1 1 with all the T's crossed and all the I's dotted. We have got to show we are serious I .

legislature and the CCHE staff. We have got to be very serious in moving forward on that process.'

If you put timelines in, you try and meet the timelines. I'm not certain that on January 15 there is going to be the final tolling of the bell and all of these issues are going to go away. I hope that that's the case as I'm sure everybody is weary of this process. I guess all I'm saying that we are under intense pressure.

We are going to have to look at all the details of the kinds of questions that you are raising and we are going to have to come up with some solutions. They may alter the solutions that are ultimately accepted.

Metropolitan: As you know, the regents have a lot of political power in the state. Metro may have more enrollment or more urban-oriented programs but you have the political power of the regents on the side of UCD. How much of this consolidation process is based on political power and how much is based on educational logic?

Macintyre: Everything is political.

Everything in our society has to do with the distribution of power one way or another. My view is that we have got to make the best case that we can before all of the forums before which we are called-the legislature, the CCHE, the Auraria Board. We have got to get our act together internally as a college. We have got to cooperate as fully as we· can with the other institutions down here. We have got to rally all of the support that we have in this community for the continuation of Metro as Denver's major state supported institution addressing the needs of Denver.

That is the theme I want to see very much developed. In all of that the University of Colorado-with all its history, tradition and power in the state-may prevail and may ultimately dictate a solution that is not in the best interest of Metro. That may happen. I will do everything I can and my management

team will do everything they can to see that it doesn't happen. That doesn't mean it will not happen. It may happen.

Metropolitan: The regents have said in the past that they would be more than happy to take Metro under the wing of the university system. They say that they realize Metro is different from UCD and has a different focus. It has been said tl;iat Metro could maintain a separate identity ....__ within the University of Colorado.

Do you think that is possible?

Macintyre: No. I believe that if the University of Colorado was committed to the kind of things Metro has been committed to there would not be a Metropolitan State College here today., • Metro was created to meet a need that - · someone was not willing to meet in the past. It is absolutely critical that that need is going to be met. That Metro not become a part of the University of Colorado. I think that no matter what happens, the University of Colorado has its own needs, its own demands, its own • priorities. If it had the commitment that Metro has then why is Metro here? Why didn't the University address these needs? . . . They have different priorities. I believe they are a different kind of institution. And there is plenty of room in this town for the university to meet its ~ goals and objectives. But I don't think the best interests of higher education will be served if Metro becomes part of the University of Colorado ...

I don't know if Metro could meet its goals under a new independent major university, as Senator Fowler has -4' proposed. I do know that the idea of another major university has some appeal to it but it has the same kind of negative appeal to people who are already involved in comprehensive universities in the state ... they don't want another comprehensive university in the state, and I think there is some logic to that.

The bottom line again and again comes down to leave Metro alone to do what it was mandated to do.
