them for jumping.
Trial
(Continued from page 1)
did in comparison to other students
in her Spanish 206 classes.
Poindexter said Richards was “al
ways adequately prepared and
seemed like she enjoyed what she
was doing. . . . She called on
students across the board, but it be
came obvious that several weren’t
prepared for class,” he said.
Susan Dennis attended A&M for
her master’s degree from 1979 to
1981 and was irt Richards’ Spanish
426, 20th Century Peninsular Liter
ature, class in Fall 1979. She is now
working for her Ph.D. at Texas Tech
University. Dennis said Richards’ in
struction made the class interesting.
“She seemed to have a clear view
of what she wanted to do,” Dennis
said. “She helped prepare the class
more by giving each of us a certain
part of the reading to focus on.”
Beverly Smith, a May 1988 bi
ology graduate, testified she was a
student in Martinez’s Spanish 205
and 206 classes where Richards reg
ularly sat in and, on two or more oc
casions, substituted in Fall 1986 and
Spring 1987.
Smith said that on the two occa
sions she could recall, Richards’ lec
ture was well-structured. She also
testified that Richards was knowled-
gable in the subject matter and quick
to answer questions.
Costa testified later he was un
aware Richards had substituted after
being removed from the classroom.
Dr. Nancy Leslie, a neuropsycho
logist, administered the University’s
psychological tests on Richards. Les-
ie testified that various tests were
administered which yielded quanti
tative results to better judge her abil-
ity.
“We try to look at ability based on
age, education and degree of success
obtained in life,” she said. “An IQ of
100 for a plumber is fine; an IQ of
100 for the president of the United
States is a little worrisome.”
Leslie said Richards IQ was mea
sured at 111, which is below that of
the average Ph.D. holder in her age
group.
There was a dispute between West
and Jerry Cain, associate general
counsel for the University, over
whether Leslie should be allowed to
testify on evaluation of the tests since
she was hired only as a technician to
administer the tests. The dis
agreement started almost an hour
after Leslie began testifying, how
ever, and none of her statements
were disallowed.
The committee also heard testi
mony from Dr. Tom Pollock, an as
sociate professor of aerospace engi
neering, who was chairman of the
Tenure Advisory Committee for
1985-86. The Tenure Advisory
Committee unanimously recom
mended ending dismissal proceed
ings against Richards in 1986, Pol
lock said. He said in investigating
Richards’ case, faculty members
were interviewed by the entire com
mittee but individual committee
members spoke with 15 students on
a one-to-one basis. No notes were
taken during the interviews because
the Tenure Advisory Committee is
more informal than most commit
tees and because Pollock decided the
committee was “not in the business
of collecting evidence for the Uni
versity” that might be used against
Richards later, he said.
Pollock said negative comments
about Richards’ class recorded dur
ing the Tenure Advisory Commit
tee’s investigation were not as neg
ative as the committee had been led
to believe and almost equaled the
number of positive comments. He
said students reported attendance
levels that he considered below nor
mal.
Two students reported the class
was not interesting and they could
learn the material from the textbook
without going to class, he said.
Pollock will continue his testimony
when the hearing reconvenes
Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in 401 Rud
der.
Testimony is being heard by the
six-member committee consisting of
four members; however, only five,
members of the committee will vote.
Once testimony is completed, lots
will be drawn by the two alternates to
determine which will vote.
Slain Austin girl’s friends
experience grief, anxiety
AUSTIN (AP) — School-age
neighbors of a slain 7-year-old, Tri
sha Ann Worley, have become indi
rect victims of the crime and are ex
periencing nightmares, anxiety and
anguish, Austin school district offi
cials said.
A team of psychologists and social
workers were at Mathews Elemen
tary School when school started last
week and remained on call to coun
sel the 26 students who live in the
apartment complex where Trisha
lived.
The deployment of counselors
was orchestrated by the Office of
Student Support Services, a new cri
sis-response team of the Austin In
dependent School District.
“The kids are hLirting,” Mathews
principal Elma Berrones said.
“They’re in pain. Some are con
fused. Some are afraid. Some feel
like their sense of trust and their
sense of community have been de-
sui/^c^.. L think 11n_ .......i.^woiia
greater than what we expected.”
Trisha disappeared Aug. 25 from
the parking lot of the Heathercrest
apartments. Her body was found
three days later in Town Lake.
Thomas Luther Gilliam, de
scribed as a shy, quiet resident of the
complex who frequently played with
children there, was charged with
murder. Trisha was strangled and
her body was sexually assaulted. The
girl, who went to Dawson Elemen
tary School last year and who was to
attend Mathews this year, was buried
last Wednesday, the day before she
was to enter the second grade.
Dr. Betty Phillips, director of the
Office of Student Support Services,
said the 26 children from the com
plex who go to school at Mathews
are “upset aboLit the death of their
friend, upset about the sex abuse
and upset that a neighbor and a
trusted person is the one accused of
the crime.”
