Sexual assaults on campus increase

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.

Mitchell said some professors
might create their own evaluation
forms to get student feedback.
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

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.
