lo more buses
ill be taken
tom routes
By Richard Williams
Senior Staff Writer
No further buses will be cut from
shuttle bus routes this semester, the
nanager of Texas A&M bus opera
tions said Monday.
“We are not going to make any
iuther reductions,” Doug Williams
laid. “If we do anything, we’ll be
Mding.”
Williams said the current sched-
Jiles will remain in effect for the rest
kfthe semester, unless students start
having trouble catching buses.
“If we had a problem ....
where people were being left and
couldn’t get to campus we would add
buses,” Williams said.
He said last week’s changes in
some morning bus routes have gone
smoothly.
I Bus operations will add buses in
the fall to handle an expected in
crease in ridership, he said.
I “I am anticipating a record num
ber of riders in the fall because peo
ple aren’t going to have the opportu-
ty to park on campus because the
arking garage will be incomplete
and dormitories are being built,”
illiams said.
In the fall, students will have
fewer places to park on campus be-
ause of dormitory construction in
he Commons area. Construction of
our residence halls in the area will
ean the loss of about 450 parking
paces.
The parking garge on the corner
)f University Drive and Ireland
Street probably will not be complete
)y the end of the fall semester.
“We are preparing to have the
ervice available if the passes are sold
and the people do ride,” Williams
Said.
A fall bus pass will cost $46.
Retired dean says
president causing
officials to resig
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Sharp
disagreements with the University of
Texas Health Science Center’s presi
dent may be leading some top offi
cials to abandon the school, a retired
dean said.
President John P. Howe III has
been accused of sharing too little
power with the deans of the individ
ual schools, but he counters that
charge by providing details showing
a high level of recruitment of nation
ally recognized faculty members and
their retention.
Still, the impending loss of Dr.
Peter Kohler, dean of the medical
school since July 1986, and the resig
nation in December of Dr. Dominick
DePaola have given rise to accusa
tions that Howe’s management style
at the health science center may be at
fault.
“The deans have little say in the
operation of the university,” said
former Graduate School of Biomed
ical Sciences Dean Armand Guarino,
who has retired.
Guarino, who also served as dean
of the School of Allied Health Sci
ences, resigned both positions in
1986. At the time, he said only that
his administrative style clashed with
Howe, who became president in
1985.
But after Kohler decided Monday
to accept the presidency of the Ore
gon Health Sciences University in
July 1988, Guarino was willing to
speak more openly about problems
he observed before resigning.
Guarino particularly was incensed
with the difficulties he said he faced
in authorizing even minimal
amounts of funding or research
space for department chairmen and
other faculty members without first
getting permission from Howe or a
council of other administrative fac
ulty.
“I would bet any money I have
that it was a big element of my prob
lem that was the reason they had to
leave,” Guarino told the San Anto
nio Light of DePaola and Kohler,
neither of whom could be reached
for comment.
Howe countered, however, that
the operation of the university was
not scaring off current faculty or
making it hard to attract new admin
istrative, teaching or research staff.
“Looking back over the past few
years, this young university has had
an outstanding track record in re
taining and attracting the creme de
la creme of academic leaders and re
searchers,” Howe said.
To dispel feelings that faculty
were fleeing the center, Howe gave a
brief rundown of openings and the
efforts to fill them, including: An
opening for chairman of diagnostic
dentistry among 41 already filled
positions for departmental chairman
or program directors; two openings
for assistant or associate deans; two
openings for deans, with the search
for the new dean of the dental
school about halfway to completion.
“This speaks to a very stable se
nior faculty,” Howe said.
He also pointed to the caliber of
new recruits coming on board as
proof of the wellness of the health
science center.
Among those mentioned was Dr.
Thomas G. Berry, associate dean for
academic and student affairs at the
University of Colorado School of
Dentistry, who takes over as chair
man of restorative dentistry in Au
gust.
