Soviets rule out more talks on treaties limiting nuke tests WASHINGTON (AP) — The Soviet Union on Wednes day ruled out further talks on the Reagan administration’s bid to tighten verification provisions in two unratified treaties limiting underground nuclear tests. "There is no need to hold negotiations on this subject,” the Soviets said. In an unusual statement issued through its embassy, the Kremlin accused the United States of trying to under mine the accords by pressing for the changes. Promising not to take actions "inconsistent” with the 1974 and 1976 unratified treaties, the Soviets turned aside U.S. efforts to tighten verification procedures by saying procedures already exist for "mutual consultations" on any suspected violations. The statement, telephoned to news agencies by Vladimir Mikoyan of the embassy’s press office, recom mended that the United States proceed with Senate ratification of the agreements reached in the Nixon and Ford administrations. The principal provisions of those agreements restrict all underground tests — for either weapons or peaceful purposes — to 150 kilotons or less. That is equivalent to 10 times the power of the bomb the United States exploded on Hiroshima, Japan, in World War II. Earlier agreements with the Soviets banned atomic testing in the atmosphere, outer space and under water. The treaties provide for what is known as "national technical means” of verification. Negative evaluations may cause teacher bias, law students say By Frank Shaw Of th* Emerald A Tuesday discussion on a law course questionnaire raised concerns about teacher evaluations. The questionnaire, distributed by Mark Wilson, a member of the curriculum commit tee, dealt primarily with the issue of offering another section of a constitutional law class spring term. The furor began when 18 of the 350 students who filled out the form criticized the course instructor Linda Greene in the com ments section. “To say that Linda Greene is 'no damn good’ and ‘I hate her’ does not help me very much," Bell said about the comments. Only two of the students who criticized Greene signed their questionnaires. “You should always want to sign a critical statement," Bell told the more than 50 law students attending the meeting. Students then raised concerns about teacher evaluation policy and the possibility of a teacher confronting a student who had sign ed an unfavorable evaluation. Bell explained the procedure, saying evaluations are never opened until after exams have been graded. Unsigned evaluations are not subject to handwriting analysis to deter mine their authors, he added. “It is not done, and if it were done it would not be condoned,” Bell said. The evaluation process becomes suspect when students want to take the second term of a course with the same instructor, a student said. He said it would be difficult for a professor to remain unbiased after reading a bad evalua tion and having the student in the class again. “Retaliation is barred,” Bell said. “On some things you do not need to have rules." Ken Ford, president of the Student Bar Association, said he would establish a commit tee to study the potential problems with evalua tions and make a faculty recommendation. Wilson said the meeting let students “blow off some steam." “I’m glad that things came out the way they did,” he said. et al.
