L Page 6 The Battalion Tuesday, April 7, Sexual assaults on campus increase Spade Phillips, Rl. by Matt Continued from Page 1 of year. "From now on, into the summer, sexual assualts seem to pick up," she said. "People should be aware of this." Hamlin said that most girls don't report date or acquaintance rape because they might think that they somehow initiated it. "As long as you haven't consented and you have said 'no,' then it is rape," she said. The Office of Student Affairs confirmed Monday that another sexual assault occurred last week in the Memorial Student Center, but was unable to release any details about the incident, since it has not been officially reported to the police.

The department uses evalua tions as part of a faculty perfor mance review for professors who are up for tenure or promotion, or for pay increases. In addition, the department uses peer evaluations for some faculty members. "What I don't like about this is that it removes the opportunity for students to express their opin ion about the class," Mitchell said. "But as long as it's only for one semester, I don't think it will be that bad." The Department of History will only have evaluations in classes taught by faculty who do not have tenure. Dr. Larry Hill, department head, said other faculty members can use alternate evaluation forms to critique their performances and get student feedback if they wish. "Evaluations are just one part of the process," he said. "They are viewed carefully up the line in the administration, and they form a part of the records in promotion and tenure recommendations." Even though administrators pay close attention to the evalua tions, they alone are not the mea sure of a professor's teaching per formance, Hill said. Other departments have con tinued having evaluations in all classes, despite budget cuts. Dr. Charles E. Harris, associate head of the Department of Philos ophy and Humanities, said it was recently decided there would be evaluations in all classes. Harris said that, as a minimum, the department would have eval uations for professors trying to get tenure. "It seems like it would be al most essential there," he said. Dr. Bryan Jones, head of the Department of Political Science, said evaluations are important enough to continue using. "I think it's so important, we're going to go ahead and do them," he said. Jones said the department has other methods of evaluating pro fessors, such as talking with them and using a committee to evaluate untenured professors. The student evaluations are an important part of the process, he said. The evaluations provide an idea of who the weaker teachers are so the department learns who to target for help. However, evaluations are not good for assessing who the excel lent teachers are, because often students do not consider their hard professors good professors. The students might be tempted to evaluate them poorly, he said. "But students need to be heard, and we need to be sensitive to what they're thinking," Jones said. "It's unfortunate that we have so many money problems." Dr. Paul Wellman, associate head of the Department of Psy chology, also considers student evaluations too important to dis continue. Wellman said the department head reviews evaluations every semester to help identify faculty members who are doing a good job and those whose teaching abil ities need to be strengthened. "It's not something that gets filed away and then never gets looked at, he said. Individual faculty members can add questions to the standard evaluation form so students can give more feedback, he said. Dr. Ben Crouch, interim head of the Department of Sociology, said money is always a problem, but it's just a matter of deciding to go through with the evaluations. "We decided to do that, and weTl simply work out any prob lems," he said. "I don't anticipate any serious problems." Crouch said the evaluations are an important part of the faculty review process, but they are not the only indicators of faculty per formance. The cost of the evaluations are not a major part of the depart ment's budget, but it is one of a number of expenses, he said. "Every department has a rela tively large budget," he said. "It's when you add them all up. It's not an insignificant part either." Dr. Robert Ivie, head of the De partment of Speech Communica tion and Theater Arts, said his de partment values the evaluations because of the student feedback S' ?de were nee ded in teaching,, been able to work on chaw them, he said. smed a But w feshmen much too older, mo The evaluations are also imp the Blue I I After to the Fin defending ble to the | the Michi Before ore Ant was like a had taken one more old fighte: The fit Howard, J Chris Wet undeniabl roups of all playei But th< young.

Administrators in the Dep: ments of Anthropology, Ee nomics, and Modem and Class Languages could notbereacta for comment. However, other these departments said evals tions will be done in all das.< this semester. The Colleges of Architectai Business Administration, Ediie tion. Geosciences and Marito h anc i Studies and Veterinary Medicr seven veai will continue to have evalualio; champion 1 in all departments. The College of Medicinen have evaluations, but the decision to use them is up to indmdualde partments. Dr. A. Benton Coconoughet, dean of the College ofBusinesi Administration, said he believe! the student evaluations are impor tant in helping the college identit; faculty problems or potentii problems, and in recognizingei' cellence in teaching. "We place it very highonom priority list," he said. "We thiii it's an important part of ourpre cess of ensuring we're provide the best possible instruction." Dr. Walter Wendler, deand the College of Architecture, he feels very strongly that anil teacher should listen to student® to the play Of the tian Laettr they provide. ^We really do take seriously student evaluations," he said. "This is one way to get student opinion." Ivie said the evaluation form does not provide perfect informa tion, but it does provide good in formation. The department has been able put. "I can't imagine someons thinking they're a good teachd and not being willing to listen t student input," he said. Wendler said the evaluation: are well worth the money the cost. It would be a mistake to us them as the only measure of eval uating teacher performance, said. Sources in the College of Engi neering said evaluations will mcs likely be conducted by all depai! ments for all classes. Administrators in the College of Science and Agriculture ani Life Sciences could not be reache: for comment.
