Tonya Harding Story, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If you have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, the sounds being heard over the last week are starting to resemble an avalanche at the Tom MacCann factory. I'm talking, of course, about the Tonya Harding Story, or is it the Nancy Kerrigan Story, or perhaps the Three Stooges meet Tonya.

Super Bowl: Corporate Excess And Roman Numerals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It's that time of year once again. One of America's premier sporting events is about to take place. The one which identifies itself using Roman Numerals. It is less than forty-eight hours from Super Sunday, and there probably hasn't been this much Yankee pillaging in Atlanta since Sherman's troops were in town 130 years ago.

Ncaa Scholarship Cuts And Black Coaches Assn.- Nfl Conference Finals, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1994

Ncaa Scholarship Cuts And Black Coaches Assn.- Nfl Conference Finals, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The NCAA decided a year ago to cut the number of scholarships for men's basketball from fifteen to thirteen. Two weeks ago that body in convention rejected an attempt by a number of coaches to restore one of the two scholarships. This produced cries of pain from several of the coaches, and from one coaches group, the Black Coaches Association. They claimed racism, and threatened a boycott. The threat was withdrawn when the Congressional Black Caucus and the Justice Department displayed some interest in the subject. One can only speculate that the NCAA would have preferred a boycott to the …

Harding And Kerrigan Followup, Richard C. Crepeau

Winning isn't everything, its the only thing. The words of course of that great American philosopher Vince Lombardi. I was reminded of them once again this week as the bizarre story of the attack on Nancy Kerrigan unfolded. And as it unfolded the nature of this commentary changed dramatically.

Sugar Bowl Fans, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1994

Sugar Bowl Fans, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It is fascinating to be in the middle of a sporting event and to be surrounded by thousands of people who are rabidly involved, and to be in a position in which you are essentially indifferent to the outcome. The most startling thing about this experience is the realization that human beings could get worked into a frenzy by something of such little significance, while knowing that you yourself would be in the same state if it was your favorite team that was involved. In some ways it is a sobering experience.

A Framework For Surveying Communication Effectiveness In Institutions Of Higher Education, Charmaine E. Wilson, Sandra Hochel Jan 1994

A Framework For Surveying Communication Effectiveness In Institutions Of Higher Education, Charmaine E. Wilson, Sandra Hochel

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a framework for assessing communication effectiveness in higher education in the U.S. In light of cost concerns, most colleges and universities will opt for using internal expertise. This option is particularly feasible for post-secondary institutions in that they are likely to have available in-house expertise needed to conduct an effective assessment. The step of identifying available expertise from communication and other appropriate units is needed to gain broad expertise and multiple perspectives, avoid attributions of private agendas, and encourage units under analysis to view the process as a community effort. The assessing committee will want to set …

Alternative Career Opportunities, Or, Don't Sell Yourself Short!, David Balthrop Jan 1994

Alternative Career Opportunities, Or, Don't Sell Yourself Short!, David Balthrop

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article will attempt to discuss who is making an attempt to prepare their students for work outside of the field of study; pose the question of whose responsibility is it for preparing those students: faculty, universities and colleges, or the students themselves. In a survey sent out to all colleges and universities in Kentucky, only a small percentage (fewer than 3%) of the surveys returned acknowledged any help in the form of organized, structured post-graduation job opportunity discussions. All the forms returned indicated that the students wanted and needed that type of instruction. In order to locate other job …

Academic Departments In China, James Schnell Jan 1994

Academic Departments In China, James Schnell

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article describes the management of academic departments in Beijing, The People's Republic of China. Academic departments in China have parallels with academic departments in the U.S. but there are marked differences. Key differences between the Chinese and U.S. systems deal with professors serving as role models and the selection of who will work as professors. Teachers in China are expected to serve as role models in moral, as well as academic, development.

Alternative Assessment In Speech Communication, Ellen A. Hay Jan 1994

Alternative Assessment In Speech Communication, Ellen A. Hay

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article aims to promote alternative assessment in the field of speech communication. Speech communication departments in a number of colleges and universities have adopted alternative practices as they have developed their assessment programs. For example, the faculty at the University of Missouri-Kansas City examined and redesigned their curriculum so that students were required to show competence in interpersonal communication, critical thinking, language use, leadership, reading, research, public speaking, cultural appreciation, writing, decision making, theoretical understanding, and ethical/philosophical appreciation. Clearly, developing and implementing alternative assessment strategies is time consuming and costly. First, alternative assessment more fully meets the demand for …

Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills Jan 1994

Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of school administrators in addressing sexual harassment in theater and communication programs. On college and university campuses, by and large, men have power. Women on campus by and large trust these men who have power. The trust in such a relationship is precious, built over time through consistency, responsiveness and mutual concerns. Sexual harassment breaks that trust, destroys it completely, and in the process wounds those who are involved. The 9 to 5 organization has concluded that a strong policy is the best way to combat sexual harassment. A written policy easily becomes both the …

Oral English Proficiency Requirements For Itas In U. S. Colleges And Universities: An Issue In Speech Communication, Robert C. Dick, Brenda M. Robinson Jan 1994

Oral English Proficiency Requirements For Itas In U. S. Colleges And Universities: An Issue In Speech Communication, Robert C. Dick, Brenda M. Robinson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the nature and extent of oral English proficiency training that international teaching assistants (ITA) need for their faculty and staff roles in U.S. colleges and universities. In surveys of campuses in the Illinois system, the most frequent single complaint among undergraduates was that the ITA had language problems which interfered with the students' comprehension of classroom material. The Test of English As a Foreign Language (TOEFL) has been in existence since 1964, assessing the English usage of English-as-a-second-language students applying for admission to colleges and universities. The Test of Spoken Language, designed by the Educational Testing Service, …

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke Jan 1994

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the implications of communication education transformations for curricular change in the U.S. Differences in education and training between public relations (PR) practitioners and journalists reflect, in part, effects of certain pressures brought to bear upon these professions. Any edge which graduates may have in the marketplace will depend on the extent to which their communication programs have focused on initial detection and measurement of related talents, skill development and enhancement, and discovery of communication-related careers that depend on the integration and application of these skills. With respect to faculty placement, infusing PR faculty into existing communication programs …

Mass Communication Education: A Plastic Rolex?, Tim Hamlett Jan 1994

Mass Communication Education: A Plastic Rolex?, Tim Hamlett

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses several aspects of mass communication education in the U.S. during the 1990s. According to professor J. M. McCall, communication educators should be telling communication professionals three things. The first is that academics do know what the profession requires. The second is that knowing perfectly well what the profession requires, the academics have decided not to provide it. The third observation is that there is no place in a university for that kind of education, which is trade skills and vocational training. McCall's case for change rest on two pillars: university politics and finances; and media studies in …

Determining Reasonable Accommodations For The Learning Impaired: New Issues For Able-Bodied Communication Administrators, Craig Newburger Jan 1994

Determining Reasonable Accommodations For The Learning Impaired: New Issues For Able-Bodied Communication Administrators, Craig Newburger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses issues surrounding able-bodied communication administrators. The first issue confronting communication educators involves the nature of interactions with disabled students. Such students may be reluctant to disclose their personal circumstances to their instructors, even when a campus student counseling services office arms them with explanatory documents intended to affirm their sincerity and disarm the potential for them to feel embarrassed. Some learning impaired students have been isolated, misunderstood, and stigmatized, thus, the simplest act of communicating may become fraught with anxiety. The second issue confronting communication educators involves how sensitive we are to the broad nature of what …

Censorship Problems In Commercial And Collegiate Theatre, Joe Filippo Jan 1994

Censorship Problems In Commercial And Collegiate Theatre, Joe Filippo

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses censorship problems in commercial and collegiate theatre. An examination of censorship in the American theatre will reveal the fact that the subject has been weighed and viewed by the court from a number of perspectives. One such view was that, until the mid-twentieth century, court cases commonly were decided on the basis of the literary merit of the plays in question. The foregoing questions relating to a theatre season may lead one to conclude that there is no censorship quite like self-censorship. If it is perceived that in the process of play selection there is excessive risk …

Disciplinary Narratives For Change: The Emergence Of Performance Studies Within Athe And Sca, Ronald E. Shields Jan 1994

Disciplinary Narratives For Change: The Emergence Of Performance Studies Within Athe And Sca, Ronald E. Shields

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the emergence of performance studies within the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) and the Speech Communication Association (SCA). During recent years, the debate surrounding the emergence of performance studies within the professional organizations, SCA and ATHE, has generated both heat and light. Both debates centered on pragmatic and seminal questions of disciplinary cohesiveness and relevancy; each side in both debates also argued their respective positions from particular interpretations of disciplinary history. In SCA, the issue involved a name change within a large and respected Division: in ATHE, the entire membership was challenged to consider the …

An Investigation Of The Communication Skills And Communication Needs Of Academic And Civil Service Administrators, Earl E. Mcdowell Jan 1994

An Investigation Of The Communication Skills And Communication Needs Of Academic And Civil Service Administrators, Earl E. Mcdowell

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article presents a study which is designed to determine the level of importance of communication skills for academic and civil service administrators in an academic setting. Two samples of administrators participated in the study, including 120 academic administrators and 120 civil service administrators from a midwestern university. The questionnaires were sent through campus mail to random samples of academic administrators and civil service administrators. Exploratory analyses were completed to determine if differences existed between genders. The results basically show that gender is not a good discriminating variable because of the high within group variances and limited between group variances. …

The Impact Of Situational Elements Upon An Internship Director's Supervisory Style: A Model, Shelly Schaefer Hinck, William O. Dailey Jan 1994

The Impact Of Situational Elements Upon An Internship Director's Supervisory Style: A Model, Shelly Schaefer Hinck, William O. Dailey

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article argues that internship directors must examine the constraints and objectives of their program and then select an appropriate supervisory style in order to be effective. Considering the many benefits associated with the internship experience, it is not surprising that over one thousand colleges and universities in the U.S. offer some type of internship program. What is surprising is that internship directors looking for suggestions on internship administration find little research devoted to developing effective administrative decisions. The relationship between the intern, the faculty coordinator, and the site supervisor may be of a helping nature whereby the faculty coordinator …
