testified that two of the rooms in her home were rented by
medical students. "The gist of the conversation around our dinner
table was that they felt the course was a complete waste of time.
'Most of the year, it seemed as if we knew more than the instructors,'"
she quoted one of them as saying.

Jane couldn't wait for Diana to complete her questioning of Helen and
broke in with, "Would the students come and talk with us?" She
pretended to forget that medical students were not allowed at the
hearing.

"No. Medical students were told they should not testify. They did
request that I tell you that both she and my other roomer gave a bad
evaluation of the course in the SmurFFs they filled out this year.
They hoped that by doing that, the course would be changed and improved
for the students next year. You have been told that all the
evaluations were positive that year."

Henry appeared to misunderstand. "If they didn't think their
evaluations were done correctly, they should go to the dean." He said
to Helen, severely.

"Huh? I didn't say anything about them feeling their evaluations....
what do you mean?"

"If there is a problem with their evaluations, they should go to the
dean."

"I didn't say there was a problem. I don't know where you are coming
from. I will repeat what I said since it appears that I have been
misunderstood. They told me that they had filled out a very negative
evaluation on the radiology course, and that they knew that others in
the class did also because there was great dissatisfaction with the
course."

Henry immediately reminded the panel members that this was all hearsay.
It will be trouble, he thought, if anyone on the panel asks for the
SmurFFs for the year Diana didn't teach that course. Lyle doesn't want
them seen and for good reason. He and his boys have perjured
themselves.

No one seemed to have any more questions. Even Anuse appeared wary.
This was one witness that they weren't going to confuse. She not only
had both feet planted on the ground, she looked as if she'd enjoy
planting the panel under them. Noting that there were no more
questions coming, Diana thanked her and said, "Looks like we are
finished with you, Helen."

"You may be finished with me, but I am not finished with you!" She took
in everyone in the room with that remark, surprising Diana as much as
anyone on the panel. Even Janet looked up with a startled expression.

One could almost hear the
