Learning by experience
Student testifies on field trip
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A field trip to the
Bexar County Courthouse turned into a trip to the
witness stand for a high school senior who was
called to testify in a criminal case.
Melissa McElroy, an 18-year-old senior at Lack-
land High School, was with her government class
watching a trial when she recognized a woman in
court and took the witness stand to challenge her
credibility.
"It was really weird," McElroy said after testify
ing Wednesday.
The 26 members of her class were attending a
jury trial before 290th District Judge Sharon Mac-
Rae in which a man is charged with aggravated
sexual assault of a child. The students picked the
trial at random.
McElroy, who is not involved in the case, recog
nized the alleged victim's mother as someone she
had worked with at a fast-food restaurant earlier
this year, teacher David Merrell said.
When the mother testified she had not worked
since 1985, it struck the student as wrong. And
when the woman testified she had not seen a key
witness for quite some time, McElroy said the key
witness had worked with the mother at the fast-
food restaurant.
"Melissa was angry about it, and she said,
'What should I do?' " Merrell said. "I told her it
was a moral dilemma for her and she'd have to
decide what to do. I think she was just compelled
to do what was right."
Defense attorney Emil Holiner was told during
a break in testimony that the student wanted to
testify.
"It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen," he
said. "I don't know how to convey the surprise of
it all. This is a real civics lesson for the class, and
one they'll never forget."
After McElroy's testimony, the class had just
enough time to get to their bus and return to
school.
Merrell's government class takes a field trip to
the county courthouse every year.
"I let the students pick which case to go see and
they always want to go to criminal cases or some
thing exciting," he said.
College of Engineering faces
budget cuts, loss of accreditation
Continued from page 1
are concerned about the accredi
tation review.
"I think we should be alarm
ed," said Dr. Raymond Flumer-
felt, head of the chemical engi
neering department. "There are
definitely some needs. If they
are not met, it may result in
some negatives down the way."
An example of one of the col
lege's outdated labs is an electri
cal machinery lab in the electrical
engineering department. A tea
ching assistant in that lab esti
mates that the equipment has
not been updated in more than
10 years.
"It's hard for students to work
in this lab," said Harinderbal
Singh. "It's frustrating for them
because they do not get good re
sults in the lab because the read
ings are haphazard."
A microprocessors lab and a
digital design lab in the electrical
engineering department are
other examples of shoddy equip
ment in many labs, he said.
Flumerfelt said it is just these
types of problems that need to
be addressed now.
"We're putting up a red flag
that maybe we're starting to lose
some ground," he said. "We
haven't had those problems in
the past, and we don't want to
have them now. We want to
make sure we're in good shape."
ABET, an affiliation of several
engineering societies, will exam
ine the strength of the faculty,
arrangement of curriculum, lab
equipment, library facilities, ad
missions policies and support
areas like math and science.
The College of Engineering
was last accredited in 1986 for
the maximum six-year time pe
riod. If ABET finds some areas of
the college lacking next year, it
can put them on probation for
three years to allow for im
provement.
Dr. John Weese, head of the
engineering technology depart
ment and a former ABET com
mission member, said about 20
percent of the universities who
get into trouble with accredita
tion have lab deficiencies.
Hall said some departmental
labs, like mechanical, petroleum
and aerospace, are better off
than electrical and others be
cause they recently received new
buildings.
Flumerfelt and Weese believe
that the labs are a symptom of
the problems associated with de
clining state funds for universi
ties.
The chemical engineering de
partment has built, maintained
and upgraded its labs solely
from industry donations, Flu
merfelt said. But, obviously, it
still is not enough.
"We're an outstanding school,
but we're losing some ground
because of no funding from the
University or state," he said.
"We find ourselves scrambling
for funds."
Weese said it is fortunate that
A&M has received so much sup-
g ort from industry and alumni,
ut the college has to rely too
much on it.
"Virtually everything you get
has to be from industry, espe
cially for laboratory im
provement," Weese said. "State
support for us has been very
small the last few years."
Hall said he befieves there is a
limit to how much industry will
give A&M and the college proba
bly has reached it.
"They (industries) don't mind
donating equipment, but they
think the University could at
least maintain it," he said.
Both men said the enormous
cost of educating engineering
students, about $800 per engi
neering student per class, has
put a large burden on depart
ments to recruit donations.
University President William
H. Mobley, however, said he
agrees the state should bear a
greater burden in the College of
Engineering but said that these
are tough budget times.
"We enjoy good support from
industry, and we've invested
heavily in engineering the last
few years, but staying abreast in
engineering is an expensive un
dertaking," Mobley said. "We're
operating at 1985 levels, in real
dollars, with considerable
growth. Everyone is operating
under tight levels."
Mobley said his office will wait
for the Legislature to pass a bud
get before making any decisions.
He said if A&M's budget gets
cut, he will have to make some
tough decisions about the Col
lege of Engineering and every
other A&M college.
Engineering administrators,
however, have not resigned the
college to losing its accreditation.
"A school like A&M has every
opportunity to maintain its ac
creditation, and we will do ev
erything we can to assure that,"
Weese said.

Law allows
testimony
concerning
past violence
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Ann
Richards signed into law a bill to
allow a murder or manslaughter
defendant to submit testimony
about family violence inflicted in
the past by the murder victim.
Currently, testimony about
"battered wife syndrome" is not
admitted in some cases, accord
ing to lawmakers.
The measure by Sen. Eddie
Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas,
would permit the defendant to
offer relevant evidence about be
ing a victim of family violence,
and expert testimony on the situ
ation.
Richards signed the measure
Thursday.
