ons you might have gotten
as to their feelings about the radiology course?"
"Yes. They felt that the professors knew very little about what they
were teaching so it was a waste of time to go to lectures."
"Now," interposed Henry, "we are getting into secondhand information
and we should be hearing from the medical students themselves."
"Fine," rejoined Diana. "If you can get them over here, do that. I
would be happy to have them testify.
"In the meantime, you wrote in your letter to me that I could present
whatever I felt was germane and since the medical students are not
allowed to come, this is the best I can do."
"It will be noted that it is secondhand information," said Henry
haughtily. He pretended to appear unconcerned with the testimony and
adopt Anuse's strategy of ignoring anything Diana might say that was
bothersome.
"I agree. The testimony should be labeled clearly as secondhand."
Diana pounced on Henry's depiction of Roz's testimony. "Now let us go
back over the testimony your witnesses gave which alleged that students
had been manipulated for years by me. Let us get all of the student
evaluations for all of the years, that your witnesses testified to, but
never produced. Let us get all of the prior information out into the
open and let's honestly label it for what it is--secondhand
information."
Henry rolled his eyes back in resignation, "Get on with it."
"Thank you. Roz, during the three years that you knew freshmen medical
students that were taking the radiology course, did you ever hear any
of them say that I had tried to influence them in any way or told them
how to write their evaluations?"
"Certainly not!" Roz was very firm on this. "If they could be such
pushovers as to be influenced by a non-tenured faculty member, the
university should reevaluate its admission policy."
"Thank you, I have no more questions."
Henry knew he had to make a desperate attempt to trip up the witness in
semantics. Always before, this had been the purview of Frank Anuse but
this time Frank sat silent, and for good reason. He had known Roz for
some time and was not about to go for two out of three falls with her.
"You must be aware that there was no way in which your evaluations
could be tied to a specific student because there was no student
handwriting sent," challenged Henry.
"How was it known that no student handwriting was sent?" questioned
Roz, serenely.
"I just want to assur
