Maddox said a store security guard stopped the customer after seeing her take meat from the butcher section of the store, which is about 20 miles north of Houston. Officers arriving at the supermar ket found the guard struggling with the woman, Maddox said. However, it wasn’t the scuffle that surprised the police. “The officers noticed something hanging from her panties,” Maddox said. “And when they took her to the police car, meat fell out. “Inside her panties was a 12.85 pound ribeye roast and a 1.55- pound package of beefsteaks and another pound and a half of beefsteaks and another two pounds of beefsteaks,” Maddox said. “The rest was in her handbag.” Maddox said the woman was found carrying 27 pounds of meat valued at $ 113. “I don’t think I’d want to barbe cue that evidence,” Maddox said, chuckling. Cynthia Oakley, 24, of Houston, pleaded innocent Friday to burglary charges. The second-dtgree felony carries a penalty of two to 10 years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. She was held in Harris County jail Monday in lieu of $5,000 bond. Feedback (continued from page 1) time in the semester for course mod ifications. These forms are analyzed by instructors and shared with the classes. The final questionnaire evaluates the instructor and influences pro motion, tenure and salary consider ations. The evaluations are reviewed and modifications are made as quickly and effectively as possible, Peters says. The different areas within the evaluation are meant to support each other rather than outweigh each other, Peters says. “Research can support teaching by keeping a professor up-to-date,” he says. Peters says his department does conduct follow-up studies, surveying former students by phone for their reactions to professors. Often a professor will be appre ciated for the knowledge provided in the course, not the grade given, Peters says. Students should realize their opinions are significant, he says. “I wish I could tell them how many hours I spend going through them (the evaluations) myself,” Pet ers says. Sean Royall, the student represen tative to the Faculty Senate, is re searching the possibility of pub lishing instructor and course evaluations. “We’d like to see the interest and support of the faculty and students on the idea, and eventually we’d like to work together,” Royall says. Royall says he is concerned with providing departments information about faculty, and allowing the stu dents the chance to provide effective feedback. Johnson says the Student Govern ment published faculty evaluations about five years ago. He says the program was disastrous. The results were impossible to deal with, John son says. “One professor only had one eval uation filled out on him, so he had a fabulous record,” Johnson says. “Others were unethical in soliciting evaluations, and some students filled out the questionnaires with the idea of‘let’s get the prof.’” Peters says the publication of eval uations wouldn’t help students be cause perceptions differ drastically. As director of the Center for Tea ching Excellence, Johnson heads a service program to aid professors in teaching methods. The service also can assist administrators in evaluat ing teaching effectiveness and en courage innovative teaching. The service is optional, Johnson says, but many departments consis tently attend its conferences and seek help from the center.
