PUBLIC NOTICE CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (CCER) PURPOSE: The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program is designed as an integral part of efforts to continue to enhance Texas A8JVI University’s tradition of excellence in undergraduate education. In any classroom setting occasional problems which impede communication between a professor and a student may arise. The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program provides an effective mechanism for solving such problems at the level where they occur and by the individuals of responsibility. Moreover, the procedures are designed to effect resolution in an expedient manner. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CCEP A student who has a concern about classroom communication should first discuss the concern with the instructor of the class. If, despite discussion with the instructor, the issue is not resolved, the student then may bring the matter to the attention of the depart ment head of the instructor’s department. At that point, a form (Class room Communication Concerns Form) is completed by the student. If the matter is so sensitive that discussion with the instructor is impossible, the student may report the concern to the department head; at that point the form mentioned will be filled out. The Classroom Communication Enhancement Form describes later steps in the procedure. Types of Problems Not Covered By CCEP Sexual Fiarassment Discrimination Grade Appeals Please refer to Texas A8JV\ University Rules and Regulations for procedures concerning these problems. Questions about the Classroom Communication Enhancement Program may be directed to your dean’s office. Milk. It's the natural sports drink.

CALVIN WAIDA.TEXASA & M 01996 NATIONAL FLUID MILK PROCESSOR PROMOTION BOARD Wednesday Pagi January 15,15! THE I Ne Woman charged for allegations* 5 ^ Fraudulent accusations could lead to jail time, $2000 fine Stud DALLAS (AP) — Police filed charges Tuesday against a woman who falsely accused Dallas Cow boys Michael Irvin and Erik Williams of sexually assaulting her at gunpoint. Nina Shahravan, 23, of Mesquite, could face a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $2,000 fine for making a false re port to police, a misde meanor offense. Shahravan told police that Williams and another man raped her while Irvin held a gun to her head at Williams’ Far North Dallas home on Dec. 29. Police acknowledged the accusa tion at a Dec. 31 press con ference and named the two players as suspects. After being confront ed with evidence that Irvin rvin couldn’t have been at Williams’ house at the time Shahravan claimed, she recanted her story last Friday. Police announced soon after that confession that there would be no charges. A man who answered the telephone at Shahravan’s par ents’ home Tuesday said she was not there. The woman has been in hiding since making the initial accusation. Williams’ attorney, Peter Gins berg, said he hopes the charge against Shahravan doesn’t signal an end to the investigation. “I hope that law enforcement authorities are pursuing the pos sibility that there were others who acted in concert with the com plainant, and I also hope that au thorities are examining the po lice’s own conduct in this investigation,” he said Tuesday. Irvin’s attorney, Royce West, said the charge against Shahravan “needed to be done.” “I am pleased because I believe very strongly that this woman has set back the issue of sexual assault victims 100 years,” West said. Ginsberg and West both said their clients were considering lawsuits. “We are considering legal ac- central issue concerning how porters handled the case wasii credibility of sources.

The case and its handling by police and media brought up a number of ethical issues, partic ularly regarding the release of suspects’ names before charges are filed.

Capitol restoration project completed AUSTIN (AP) — Lawmakers re turning to the Capitol found a new — and old — look to the his toric building’s grounds. A $6 million restoration of the Capitol grounds was completed just in time for Tuesday’s opening of the Legislature, said Rick Craw ford, executive director of the State Preservation Board, which handled the two-year project. The work included construc tion of Victorian-style water fountains and returning Civil War cannons to the south lawn. Stretching from the Capitol’s south entrance is a restored Great Walk, its checkerboard concrete pattern repaired and repaved. Red sidewalks connecting the Great Walk with an adjacent row of newly polished statues was also restored. The driveways have been resurfaced. The granite gateposts at the south entrance at 11th Street and Congress Av enue have been rebuilt closer to their original appearance, when they held fancy gates that were closed each evening. Oaks have been planted to re place the elm trees that lined the Great Walk. They are among 166 trees planted. “There are between 350 and 400 trees on the grounds now,” Crawford said. “It is still very much a park.” New lighting and signs have also been put up, along with refur bished cast-iron fences. The wel known star-decorated boundan was put up not long after the pin! granite Capitol opened in 1881 While most of the restoration work can be seen, Crawford said many of the most importantim provements cannot. An example is a new, 8-indiwa- ter line that loops around the Capitol, a final link in updatingthe building's fire protection system. The new line replaces a corroded line installed in the late 1930soi early 1940s, Crawford said. A 1983 fire spurred the fom; tion of the State Preservation Board 13 years ago that oversav\ the $187.6 million Capitol restora tion and expansion project. By BENIA!'
