Lady’s indiscretion
leads to missing beef
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A supermarket se
curity guard wasn’t kidding when
she asked a 24-year-old Houston
woman, “Where’s the beef?”
Humble Police Department on
Feb. 2 received a call from a Kroger
rocery store wanting help with “a
elligerent shoplifter,” Assistant
Chief Don Maddox said.
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.
