CCD to deal with.media center by William Alan Struble

The Community College of Denver will deal with the Auraria Media Center through traditional channels, said the head of CCD's • Auraria school last Thursday. Tom Gonzales, CCD vice · president, stated he had no comment about a consultant firm's report his office had done earlier this year to review the AMC. ''\ The AMC staff had asked for the report to be done and would use it as a "constructive guide," he added. When asked about Tom Lyons, ;:- a prior work/study employee, Gonzales said he had no comment. Lyons, a photographer for the AMC, said he was fired because he was critical in exposing the AMC to the law. -.. Lyons said that Gonzales is not interested in solving problems, but covering them up. Gonzales said he had not allowed Lyons to attend an AMC Advisory Board meeting because _? he failed to have authorization from MSC President Donald Macintyre. However, Jennifer Featherstone, UCD director of student af-

fairs, said Gonzales told her she could attend the meeting. Featherstone said she didn't have any formal appointment to the board. Gonzales also had no comment about Barry Barnes, temporary supervisor of audio-visual services at AMC. Barnes earlier said those people in control of the center do not want any input on the program by its employees (The Metropolitan, October 15, 1980). Barnes and "the· people from the papers'' should stop wasting their time writing articles, said Vivian Brockman, director of AMC, adding "Barry could get more work done." Brockman stated she had spoken to Barnes about the article in THE METROPOLITAN, with Barnes deciding to start working as part of the group. Barnes decided to stay with the AMC, she said, adding he is only one person out of 11 employees and has to work as a team. She said everyone gets a chance at meetings to·propose ideas. The Media Center Advisory Board is not a policy making board, but only an advising com-

mittee, she said. When asked about Lyons, Brockman said he was terminated because the center needed someone with dual skills and not only a photographer - since the AMC needed to tighten its budget. . Lyons said Brockman had told him the new employee was only an assistant.

Lyons said he trained the person wbo eventually took his place. "I was very pleased when I came here," said Macintyre "and took a tour of the media center to find such a really high class operation in terms of what was there technically.'' It appeared that AMC could do continued on pa~e 4

Lack of degree forces

-Howe resignation Michael Howe, MSC vice president for academic affairs, has resigned. Howe's decision came after it was discovered that he had not completed.all the requirements for his doctoral degree from the University of California-Davis. In discussing Howe's resignation, MSC President Donald Macintyre said "No one has in any instance attempted to deny that Michael Howe has not completed the final ·revising of his dissertation." Macintyre said that when Howe ;.;;;... applied for the MSC post, "his

resume implied that he had a PhD." . "There's no getting around the fact that it (the degree) should have been completed before he came (to MSC)," Macintyre said. Howe has come under attack in recent months for his controversial decisions concerning Winterim and faculty salaries. Both Macintyre and Howe came to MSC from the University of San Francisco. Although he has been closely associated with Howe, Macintyre said he has no resignation plans.
