“We're trying to develop a

said In addition to providing a
forum for up and coming musi
cians, the concerts are designed
to help bring vitality to the
Downtown Mall.
The throe bands will offer the
audience very different kinds of
music. The Daddies, probably
the best-known band in the
area, feature a powerful rhythm
and horn section and is billed
as "Cab Calloway meets David
Lynch.”

But as part of the preparation plan. Brand said
those who would be terminated first are adminis
trative workers, followed by those Instructors
with one-year contracts, such as adjunct faculty
and tn'Fs.
After those workers, then non tenured faculty
would be next in line logo
When people asked pollto questions about who
specifically would ho let go, Brand gave reassur
ing answers
He said he has no way of knowing who will be

partments to help him in the pnx:ess
He said several times that ho expects a small
percentage of the 21H people notified will actual

"We'll find a way to look toward the future."
he said.
But not everyone was fixusing on the bright
side.
Dianna Kale, an administration officer, holding
copins of employment applications for other jobs,
said she's nervous about the future.
She said she's been told the layoffs won't be
based upon Job performance, so that means tho
decision will come down to management's per
sonal opinions and possible personal grudges
“Now It's going to be based upon their needs,"
she said. "Who's going to decide who is needed?"
She also disagreed with how the layoff warn
ings were handled.
Kale said the notices shouldn't have been sent
until the administration knew exactly who to
send them to and should have narrowed down
tho list to bo more fair with employes.
“1 think It's almost Immoral to have (faculty)
not be aware of what they're going to do,” she
said.
Brand defended the way tho notices worn han
dled, saying mailing an excessive amount was a
"conservative" and necessary step to stay within
the luw to give fair warning about termination.
But Kale wasn't satisfied with that answer.
"I don't think it's a conservative approach,"she
said, “ft's a radical approach from a faculty's
point of view."

Clone are the used mountain

response from the community
has been very positivo.
"Every contact we've had has

“It's intimidating to flag an offi

Schulz said it has also boon a

"it's encouraging for us to

Although the focus of tho
program is on maintaining con
