Decision reversed on shuffling City Finance Department After screening and interviewing prospective candidates for the newly created position of city comptroller, the city has decided not to hire a comptroller or to activate the position. Instead the Finance Department will retain its current organizational structure with Charlie Cain remaining finance director. City Manager Robert Brunton confirmed that decision today. RETAINING the Finance Department's current organizational structure and Charlie Cain as finance director represents a change from an earlier decision by the city to hire a comptroller to head the Finance Department. The Cresap, McCormick and Paget management report had recommended that the city hire a comptroller.

When the city first decided to hire a comptroller, it advertised the position reportedly without first informing Cain he would be getting a new boss. That created: a flap, and Cain was later invited to apply for the position. Brunton denied he had failed to Cain of the CAIN APPLIED for the position, and Brunton said today he was among the top five finalists being considered for the job. After seeing who the city could and could not get for the comptroller position, Brunton said the decision was made to retain the current Finance Department operation. According to Brunton the reason behind creating the position of comptroller in the first place was to give the Finance Department more of a financial managerial emphasis.

Although no major changes are being made in the Finance Department after all, Brunton did say one of the administration's top priorities is giving the Finance Department additional computer time, so it can computerize more of its programs and operations. -Inmate dies here Collins Holiday Inn and a From Page 1 member of First United However, she later showed signs of acute distress when a doctor began examining her later.

Political seminar slated at CSU A Robert A. Taft Institute of Government Seminar scheduled here June 16-27 will focus on the many facets of "Public Policy Making." The seminar, hosted by the department of political science at Colorado State Univeristy, is one of 33 Taft institutes to be held this summer at major universities across the country. According to Susan Furniss, CSU Taft seminar director, the Taft Institute of Government Seminars was organized to bring about greater understanding of the American political process. "The role of political parties in making public policy and the constitutional framework which shapes public policy will be the focal points of this year's program," she said.

Scheduled speakers include Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm, Sen. Gary Hart, State Treasurer Sam Brown and Colorado Secretary of State Mary Estill Buchanan. BOYS STATE TALENT a tune during a talent show way on the campus of -Arts center From Page 1 Since Brunton all but ruled out the possibility of getting a larger allocation for the proposed facility, it appears the architects' proposal will have to be modified to fit the city's $2 million budget. A SECOND problem is deciding what type of facility the city wants to build.

Does it want an auditorium-arts center facility, an auditoriumconvention center complex or a facility featuring some other combination of elements. Although the architects' proposal embraces the auditorium-arts center concept, there are people in the community who favor the incorporation of a convention center into the project. A third problem is deciding for whom the facility is being built. According to Council member Richard Suinn, someone has to decide if the facility will be audience-centered or performer-centered. "Are we building this facility so we can bring top talent to Fort Collins at a low cost for the audience, or are we building a plant for.

local performers to use at a minimum cost?" Suinn asked. A fourth problem is working out a joint use agreement between the city and CSU that is fair to both parties. Although the mutual advantages of a joint-use agreement have been outlined, the Council still wants to know the hard cost tradeoffs involved in such an agreement. For example, the Council wants to know specifically how much money CSU would be obligated to contribute toward building and maintaining the facility. FINALLY, there is what Council member Margaret Reeves told the charette audience is the "tough problem." "We have to determine, as a community, how important the facility is, because it will probably never pay for itself.

"We have to look at the Capital Improvements Program and see if we want to move ahead with the auditorium-arts center," Mrs. Reeves said. Color adoan photo by Joe Novotny band was selected from over 500 Colorado high school students attending the annual conference. The event, which began last Sunday, will end Saturday. CSU police preparing for two rock concerts Wayne Teegarden, chief of the Colorado State University police, says planning has begun for two major Rock music concerts next month at Hughes Stadium.

Although the university has hosted Rock bands in the past, the concerts July 6 and 20 will be the first events of their kind at the stadium. The groups Chicago and the Beach Boys will perform the first concert, followed two weeks later by the Rolling Stones. Teegarden said telephone checks are being made to agencies around the country that have had to handle similar events and find what problems they encountered. "We're trying to take this on a step-by-step basis since this is the first time we've had this type of thing," said Teegarden. The campus police will have the main responsibility for traffic and crowd control at the stadium for audiences that could reach over 30,000.

Teegarden said his office will be working with Shelton Stanfill, director of the office of cultural programs at CSU, to coordinate security arrangements.
