Renovations
Continued from Page 1
Over the winter break, the
construction crew added ta
bles for handicapped stu
dents, wooden tack boards
and wooden chair guard rails
to prevent damage to the walls
in Blocker.
Cox said the tack boards
were added because stapling
flyers to walls leaves damage.
“It tears up the walls,” Cox
said. “Hopefully, now they’ll use
those and that’ll save the walls.”
Along with funding from
general use fee revenue, $1.5
million was allocated to the
project. An additional $2
million was allocated in fall
1996, raising classroom ren
ovation funds to a little over
$3 million.
Dan Parker, committee
chair and assistant provost,
said since the biggest prob
lem, funding, has been
solved, the committees next
concern is scheduling the
renovations.
“It’s alive and well,” Parker
said.” It’s progressing as fast
as it can.”

itness identifies Routier's footprints
KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) —A crime-scene consul-
ant Thursday identified Darlie Routier’s bloody foot-
rint from the kitchen floor of her Rowlett home
vhere her two young sons were slain.
James Cron, a 39-year law enforcement veteran,
ilso said during Mrs. Routier’s capital murder trial
hat blood drops in her kitchen fell as someone
noved slowly through the room.
Cron compared photos of two kitchen footprints
nth ink impressions of Mrs. Routier’s bare feet.
In my opinion, the (first) bloody footprint is con-
istent in all aspects with being the same size and de
ign pattern as Darlie Routier,” Cron testified.
Mrs. Routier, 27, is accused of stabbing to death 5-year-
K ^ld Damon and 6-year-old Devon Routier in their home
ear Dallas on June 6,1996. Police allege she slashed her-
df and staged a crime scene to fool investigators.
But Mrs. Routier claims an intruder dressed in dark
Nothing and a baseball cap attacked her and the boys
>efore fleeing through the garage.
The case was moved to Kerrville because of pub-
icity in North Texas.
Under questioning by prosecutor Greg Davis, Cron
provided a list of reasons why he believes there was
no intruder.
Among other things, Cron noted:
— Mrs. Routier reported no verbal confrontation
between her and the alleged intruder, which Cron
said is rare in such attacks.
— Mrs. Routier said the alleged intruder dropped
the murder knife in the house, which would have left
himself unarmed and Mrs. Routier armed.
— No blood was found in the garage.
— No “castoff” blood from the alleged struggle was
detected.
— The backyard gate was so difficult for police to
open the intruder would have had to securely latch it
while quickly fleeing.
— A vacuum cleaner was in the kitchen on top of
bloody footprints.
— Jewelry was in full display and left undisturbed.
Defense attorney Doug Mulder, in a sharp cross-ex
amination of Cron, tried to identify sloppy police work.
Cron said one bloody shoeprint in the garage was
from the shoe of a law officer. But he denied it was a
sign of shoddy detective work.

CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION ENHANCEMENT
PROGRAM (CCER)
PURPOSE:
The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program is designed as
an integral part of efforts to continue to enhance Texas A&JW University’s tradition
of excellence in undergraduate education. In any classroom setting oc
casional 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 expe
dient 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 dis
cussion with the instructor, the issue is not resolved, the student then
may bring the matter to the attention of the department head of the
instructor’s department. At that point, a form (Classroom Communica
tion 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 Harassment
Discrimination
Grade Appeals
Please refer to Texas A8JVI University Rules and Regulations for
procedures concerning these problems.
Questions about the Classroom Communication Enhancement Program may
be directed to your dean’s office.
