Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse
Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
The article discusses the trends in communication education in Hong Kong, China. Since communication is labor intensive, the need for personnel is swelling rapidly. Obviously, academic institutions in the region are faced with a tremendous challenge to encompass these developments. The School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist is attempting to meet the challenge. Hong Kong Baptist College, then a small, private diploma granting institution funded primarily from tuition fees, initiated its first program in communication. During the crucial period of its maturation from a diploma program to a degree course, the communication curriculum at Hong Kong Baptist was administered …
More Self-Evident Truths For Departmental Governance, James E. Sayer
More Self-Evident Truths For Departmental Governance, James E. Sayer
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article provides some thoughts about the pitfalls and problems associated with the lowest-level of academic administration. If nothing else, service as department chair can open the eyes to the real world of petty faculty politics in a way unknown and unseen by a regular faculty member. Finally, a new department chairperson must be aware that every move made on behalf of the department, every decision rendered, regardless of its mundane nature, will be scrutinized by colleagues for selfish intent. Graduate school does not prepare a person for service as departmental chairperson, nor do years of service as a regular …
Responsibility, Freedom Of Speech And Campus Speech Codes, William A. Haskins
Responsibility, Freedom Of Speech And Campus Speech Codes, William A. Haskins
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article argues that speech codes are not the answer to curbing offensive communication. The typical response to curbing verbal aggression on campuses throughout the U.S. has come in the form of speech codes--designed to prevent offensive communication. Speech codes, however, are not new phenomena to the U.S. landscape. Landmark Supreme Court decisions have provided numerous types of speech codes for identifying messages falling within and outside the boundaries of legally protected speech. All members, then, in the communication process engage in the creation of meaning. And more, they must take responsibility for not only the formation of meaning in …

A National Profile Of Experiential Education Trends In Communication Master's Degree Programs, Timothy S. Sellnow, Robert S. Littlefield, Deanna D. Sellnow
A National Profile Of Experiential Education Trends In Communication Master's Degree Programs, Timothy S. Sellnow, Robert S. Littlefield, Deanna D. Sellnow
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article seeks to provide a profile of internships used in communication master's degree programs in the U.S. An internship is defined as receiving graduate credit for practical experience gained outside the classroom, with some degree of supervision by a faculty member. Based upon the data presented, experiential opportunities in communication serve to connect theory and practice. The nature of an internship at the graduate level appears to be more complex than at the undergraduate level. The formal paper appears to be the most common means for evaluating graduate internships. Formal papers are consistently used in academia to measure student …
Flexibility Makes The Difference In Mentoring Women For Academic Success, Kathryn S. Egan
Flexibility Makes The Difference In Mentoring Women For Academic Success, Kathryn S. Egan
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article examines the significance of mentoring for women's success in achieving tenure and promotion. The successful tenured female college faculty member in communications, at some point in her career, has been helped by a mentor, usually male. Mentoring is vital for both men and women for faculty success, but women are restricted in forming mentoring relationships. Two categories of women as knowers exist in academe: constructivists and proceduralists. The constructivist views all knowledge as contextual, while the proceduralist woman is invested in learning and applying objective procedures for obtaining knowledge. The functions of mentoring are defined as those aspects …
Encouraging Undergraduate Scholarship: Institutional Strategies, Kevin L. Hutchinson
Encouraging Undergraduate Scholarship: Institutional Strategies, Kevin L. Hutchinson
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the various institutional strategies for encouraging undergraduate scholarship in the U.S. The student faculty grants, research stipends and scholarships require that the institution commit financial resources or commit resources to secure financial support from one or more outside agencies through creative grant writing. Suggestions pertaining to Lambda Pi Eta and internal internships probably require the least amount of institutional support. There are two proposed conditions for the research teams concept to be successful. First, there must be a commitment by all faculty to engage in research. Second, the faculty research interest must lend itself to collaborative research.

Newspaper Readership Among College Students In The Information Age: The Influence Of Telecommunication Technology, David J. Atkin
Newspaper Readership Among College Students In The Information Age: The Influence Of Telecommunication Technology, David J. Atkin
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article focuses on the influence of telecommunication technology on newspaper readership among college students in the U.S. during the 1990s. The findings presented suggest an explanatory role for such factors as age in readership. Income and marital status are also important correlates of readership, perhaps because they gauge one's stake or integration in the local community. The resulting loss of afternoon leisure was a leading cause in the decline of afternoon papers, which have been substituted with nightly TV news reporting. Given the role that demographic and media use variables play in newspaper readership, it will be important to …

Affirmative Action In Academe: Increase Opportunities, Remove Barriers, And Change Attitudes, Susan A. Siltanen
Affirmative Action In Academe: Increase Opportunities, Remove Barriers, And Change Attitudes, Susan A. Siltanen
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article addressed affirmative action in academe by examining the judicial justification for the policy and the 1973 and 1983 American Association of University Professor (AAUP) recommendations. Those reviews indicated that the Supreme Court supported affirmative action using distributive justice principles. Moreover, the AAUP recommendations are also based on distributive justice principles. In the 1973 report, the AAUP called mostly for increased opportunities for women and minorities to enter the academy. In its 1983 report, the AAUP reiterated the need to alter the workplace to include more women and minorities and added a call for to remove barriers to tenure …
Creating A Climate Of Inclusion: Success Starts At Home, Marsha Houston
Creating A Climate Of Inclusion: Success Starts At Home, Marsha Houston
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article discusses positive climate for recruiting and retaining faculty of color on predominantly white campuses. Student bodies (including their minority student components) differ greatly from one campus environment to another. For example, the personal politics, and social and academic expectations of the affluent students at Tulane are vastly different from those of the working class students at an urban commuter college. In addition, so much of what makes a campus environment a positive one for students is outside of our control as faculty. There are three features that help create a desirable climate for faculty and students of color: …
Successful Recruitment Of Minority Faculty: Commitment, Culture, Choice, Robert M. Smith
Successful Recruitment Of Minority Faculty: Commitment, Culture, Choice, Robert M. Smith
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article offers suggestions that help committed and concerned faculty and administration successfully recruit faculty of color to their departments. Commitment is hard work. Race is an issue on every campus to some degree and becoming a growing problem on most. There is no magical solution, no multicultural inoculation, nor mass confessional purge of imbedded feelings, beliefs, and superstitions. Changing racial prejudice or predispositions among people is hard work. Climate is the accumulation of the attitudes and behaviors toward inclusion on campus. Everyone on campus is both a contributor and product of the climate. Other approaches to shape the climate …
Unique Approaches And Problems In Recruiting Minority Students: The Use Of The Media, Richard R. Ranta
Unique Approaches And Problems In Recruiting Minority Students: The Use Of The Media, Richard R. Ranta
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article attempts to put the University of Memphis (UM) in a positive light by providing a vehicle to show that African-American students play a significant role at the University and have indeed been successful both at entering the University and while attending the University. The University has been so successful in graduating minority students that the Educational Testing Service is studying the University's programs to see if UM success can be duplicated at other institutions. Obviously, recruitment involves a variety of approaches other than media including a special fall and spring African-American Recruitment Day, special enrichment institutes during the …

To Be Young, Gifted, And Out Of Work, Mark Malinauskas
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article discusses job search strategy. Devising a job hunting strategy may be the hardest work you do in your entire career. The most immediate task is the creation of a personal inventory. You should be honest and identify your real strengths. These will be incorporated into your resume when you are ready to construct it. The attributes most employers seek to identify in applicants are the following: (1) A burning desire to learn and grow; (2) A brute determination to succeed; (3) A natural ability to get along with people; (4) Talent for persuading others; (5) An affinity for …
Bowl Mania And Naming Rights, Richard C. Crepeau
Bowl Mania And Naming Rights, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Amidst the incessant whining and babbling about who is number one, comes the endless parade of bowl games, in which millions of dollars are spent on advertising, game production, and team payouts. This is matched in the realm of conspicuous waste by the binge of spending indulged in by participating institutions of higher learning to entertain boosters, legislators, and assorted hangers-on who haunt the halls of athletic departments. FSU dropped three-quarters of a million dollars on one recent trip.

More Sports Books For Christmas, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As I mentioned last week, sports books are often considered to be the perfect last minute Christmas gift, and as promised, today I will offer several suggestions of sports books as gifts to add to last week's baseball book list. For those hearing the evening broadcast these are literally last second suggestions.

Sports Books For Christmas, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Every Christmas the sports book becomes one of those items that people resort to as a last minute gift. But the sports book can be a thoughtful and excellent gift for sports fans and for those who simply like good books and good writing. This week I am recommending nine books which come from a list of nominees for an award as baseball book of the year. Next week I'll recommend several non-baseball books.

Nfl Expands To Jacksonville - Bob Woolf Obit, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The Jacksonville Jaguars are the newest entry into the major sports explosion in Florida, as Jacksonville was awarded an NFL franchise a little over a week ago. Jacksonville joins Charlotte as the latest cities to be anointed by the power brokers in the National Football League. For the privileged Jacksonville has already spent several million dollars to secure the franchise, and now ownership will pay out $140M in franchise rights, while the people of Jacksonville will donate $121M for renovation of the aging Gator Bowl. In addition the new franchise owners will receive only one-half their share of the television …

Who is number one? Numero Uno. Primero. The Top Dog. The Best. The Greatest. This is the issue. This is the prime topic of all those sports talk shows that moan on and on through the long night of multiple time zones across America; Or on the twenty four hours of endless babble networks.

At times things seem to get out of focus. Maybe its just the fact that with the World Series over, and the NFL not yet in a full sprint to the finish, and neither basketball or hockey getting much attention, it is just a slow news day, but whatever it is, there seems to be more than the usual amount of goofiness in the air.

The Sports Scene In Russia, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
This is the first year since 1964 that I have not been in the United States for the World Series. This year I left the country in the middle of the series, missing Games Five and Six. Unable to hear or see the final games I settled for BBC radio reports which I heard last Friday afternoon and Sunday morning in Moscow. The reports were sketchy but I did know that Curt Shilling had shut out the Blue Jays 2-0 on Thursday to send the Series back to Toronto.
