SUBWAY

them, with his friend Desmond Crooks
taking a dose second.
She added that they have a way of
cheering people up because they're
so outgoing.
"it mbs off on them, whether they
want it to or not," she said.
Crooks said his strategy is simple: i le
just tries to smile and "be a dork" like
he always is, he said.
Most of the time the Subway em
ployees manage to cheer up their cus
tomers, but occasionally they step on a
few toes with their antics.
"Most of the time we just joke
around with each other and get people
back in the mood," Weiss said. "Some
people have a different sense of humor,
but we all get along. You just say that
you're sorry and they smile."
Crooks said that most of the younger
students can joke along, but the profes
sors and teachers aren't always appre
ciative of their humor.
"Snooty old ladies that work in the
building don't take it well," he said.
But Weiss said the Subway crew have
learned to take the good with the bad
— they love their jobs, even during the
chaos of a lunch rush.
"It's really easy (dealing with hec
tic times)," he said. "You just have to
have a good crew around you. It's a
really laid-back atmosphere. We usu
ally listen to music and talk about
other people's personal lives. We
laugh about what's going on in the
world, what's in sports, George W.
Bush, all that stuff. It's like a friend
ship; it's like a family. We all get
along very well with one another."
Weiss said he thinks of himself as
a figurative massage for school-af
flicted students, but he also gets a
great deal of pleasure out of working
at Subway.
"I love talking to people," he said.
"And 1 always have a smile on my
face while I'm at work ... it's relaxing
for me. It's better than sitting at
home watching TV all day long and
doing nothing."

FLU
continued from page 1
(his year's flu season, Harbert said. In
years past, people generally get hit the
hardest directly after the holiday break.
Lane County I lealth and I luman
Services Nursing Supervisor Betsy
Meredith also noticed the early start
of flu season.
"The bottom line is that the flu is
here," she said.
Meredith also recommended get
ting a flu shot, especially since the
CDC has identified the flu strain that
has been traveling across the country,
and the flu vaccination protects
against a similar strain.
Something to remember about flu
shots, though, is that they may not al
ways be 100 percent effective, I larbert
said. She advised students to keep
healthy by using good hygiene meth
ods, getting enough sleep, eating
healthy and relaxing.
"The way to keep the immune sys
tem strong is to keep our life in bal
ance," Harbert said.
University freshman Charles Taylor
said one reason he isn't getting a flu
shot is because of his concern about
possible side effects.
According to the CDC Web site, the
most common side effect is a sore
arm. But l larbert pointed out that no
students have complained about flu
shot after-effects this year.
"Nobody to my knowledge has had
a bad reaction," Harbert said.
Meredith said that when a person
gets a flu shot for the first time ever, he
or she may feel slightly ill for a couple
of days, but a flu shot can't infect any
one with the flu.
"You cannot catch the flu from a flu
shot," she said.
It's not too late for people to get
vaccinated. The University Health
Center is offering flu shots to stu
dents for $10, which can be billed to
a student account. Students can go
to the health center Monday
through Friday, between the hours
of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. University fac
ulty and staff can get flu shots
Wednesday through Friday from 8
a.m. to 9 a.m. for $18.50.
Lane County Health and Human
Services is also offering flu shots
Wednesday mornings between 8
a.m. and 11:30 a.m. for $17.

flu, visit the CDC Web site at

EVALUATION
continued from page 1
schools, so it ends up being pretty im
portant," he said.
Lougee said he pays attention to
students' comments.
"Sometimes students disagree
with my political perspective, so
they tube my evaluation," he said.
"If it is a constructive criticism about
my teaching methodology, then I
take it into account very heavily. If it
is a complaint about my political
perspective, 1 just take it in stride."
Lougee said the content of the Po
litical Sociology class he taught
made it difficult to keep his opin
ions out of the course.
Chen said that he has viewed his
professors' ratings online.
"For the most part, I think they're
pretty accurate," he said. "The teach
ers 1 know that 1 think are good teach
ers generally have high ratings."
Chen said the ratings can help stu
dents decide which classes to take.
"(The system is) something that
helps inform your decision," he
said. "But 1 think in the Final analysis
that you should e-mail the professor
or talk to them."
Several people in various academ
ic departments and a University ad
ministrator disagreed about whether
students can see written comments
from course evaluations.
Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
Jack Rice said it is up to each depart
ment to determine the availability of
the comments written on evaluations.
Responses to inquiries regarding
availability varied.
The political science and mathe
matics departments said that written
comments are not available for stu
dents to look at.
"In general, we don't open up the
file drawer and let people peruse
them," said Erica Whitty, the under
graduate secretary of mathematics,
adding that specific concerns might
warrant looking at the files.
Other departments weren't sure
what they would do if approached
by a student asking to see the writ
ten comments.
"We would follow the University
policy, whatever it was," said Geor
gette Winther, the graduate secretary
of economics. "I don't know if any
body has ever asked to do that."
"I don't think it's ever come up,"
agreed Zara Logue, the office special
ist for multimedia design.
Professor Scott Pratt, head of the
philosophy department, said re
lease of written comments would
seem to require both faculty consid
eration and consent from each of
the students who wrote and signed
the evaluations.
Regardless of the availability of
written comments, students and fac
ulty agreed that course evaluations
help the University work better.
"You can never stop a student from
having an opinion," Chen said.
