Nfl And Nflpa Labor Peace?, Richard C. Crepeau Jan 1993

Nfl And Nflpa Labor Peace?, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

A week ago the National Football League and the NFL Players Association reached an agreement on a new seven year contract, marking the end of a labor dispute that goes back to the twenty four day strike of 1987. The settlement was reached three weeks after an apparent agreement had broken down, and four months after a federal jury in Minneapolis had ruled Plan-B free agency to be in violation of anti-trust laws. Following that decision Judge David Doty urged both parties to arrive at a settlement of their dispute, telling them that he would impose a settlement if necessary.

The Impact Of Responsibility Center Management On Communications Departments, Don Agostino Jan 1993

The Impact Of Responsibility Center Management On Communications Departments, Don Agostino

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the impact of responsibility center management (RCM) on the communications departments in universities in the U.S. RCM has pointed out several problems with university fiscal planning which bear directly on communications programs. First, there is no budget provision for the planned replacement of expensive theater, telecommunications, or journalism equipment. Second, under RCM departments with auxiliary-type activities such as theater, a television station or student newspaper have difficulty taxing other credit-granting academic units for those contributions to community. The university needs these outreach and artistic activities to educate the students, to provide a cultural environment appealing to good …

Prospective Impact Of Responsibility Center Budgeting On Communication And Theatre Programs: View From A State Supported University, Robert C. Dick Jan 1993

Prospective Impact Of Responsibility Center Budgeting On Communication And Theatre Programs: View From A State Supported University, Robert C. Dick

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the impact of responsibility center budgeting (RCB) on communication and theatre programs in a state supported university. While some operational differences exist, it generally can be said that, in RCB, part or all tuition and sponsored research revenues are returned to a unit in direct proportion to what is earned. The unit controls its own pricing policy and is responsible for payment of all, or nearly all, of its costs. Surpluses remain with the unit; deficits must be made up by the unit in succeeding periods. The incentive to efficient production of what the market demands is …

The Ethos Of An Academic Department, Mark Hickson Iii Jan 1993

The Ethos Of An Academic Department, Mark Hickson Iii

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the ethos of an academic department. It is fundamental that a department have high credibility on campus. Such ethos is important for faculty members gaining positions on important committees on campus. When departments do not produce research, for example, they are unlikely to have faculty placed on research/graduate school committees. The three most important components of a credible department are faculty, students, and administrators. Student ethos is obtained and maintained through the quality and quantity of enrollees in service and major program courses. Faculty ethos is comprised of effective teaching, curriculum maintenance, productive research, and outstanding service. …

Political Correctness--Correct?, Paul H. Boase Jan 1993

Political Correctness--Correct?, Paul H. Boase

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article provides information on political correctness (PC). PC, as an expression, began years ago as something of a joke to describe communists who slavishly toed the party line. In the eyes of the right-wing anti-PC forces, this modern crusade toward multiculturalism sprang from the machinations of the 1968 campus radicals.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Cultural Learning Through Cable Television, John F. Dillon, Sheila C. Crifasi Jan 1993

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Cultural Learning Through Cable Television, John F. Dillon, Sheila C. Crifasi

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a multi-disciplinary approach to cultural learning through cable television. In the U.S., television current affairs programming is now being used in place of conventional textbooks in those subject areas dealing with rapidly unfolding world developments, such as history and political science. While it may take years to revise a traditional textbook, college educators are relying on the quickness of television--as well as print mass media--to help their students comprehend dynamic global events. In 1989, recognizing their own potential as an educational resource, major cable companies and programmers created Cable in the Classroom to help K-to-12th grade educators …

The Influence Of Gender And Area Of Specialty On Salary For Telecommunication Graduates, David Atkin Jan 1993

The Influence Of Gender And Area Of Specialty On Salary For Telecommunication Graduates, David Atkin

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the influence of gender and area of specialty on salary for telecommunication graduates in the U.S. Gender is linked with a key earnings attribute--nature of work experience. The positive influence of work experience is not surprising, confirming the expectation that those with more experience are likely to earn more money. While much of this influence may be a function of seniority, it seems likely also that lower-paid or less skilled employees would shake-out of their media position relatively sooner. Those remaining in the field would logically advance as their skills dictate, developing closer ties with client accounts, …

Important Components Of An Effective Assessment Program, Mary Lou Higgerson Jan 1993

Important Components Of An Effective Assessment Program, Mary Lou Higgerson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article describes the components that are characteristic of effective assessment program. Assessment of student learning outcomes is setting new records as a fast growing nationwide initiative. Experts such as T. Dary Erwin, Director of Student Assessment at James Madison University, reference the "first wave" of institutions who made "early commitments to establish assessment programs and became national pioneers." Alvemo College, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and Northeast Missouri State University are the three institutions usually credited as leading this first wave. It is important to note, however, that these pioneering efforts only began in the early 1980s, just …

Teach Them Something They Can Use, Pamela H. Sellers Jan 1993

Teach Them Something They Can Use, Pamela H. Sellers

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the necessary education, skill and preparations a prospective law student should acquire. It is well established that the legal education focuses more on mastery of a method of thinking than on mastery of the subject matter. The substantive law is a twisting, turning, mutating thing whose interpretation and application may be subject to the whims, prejudices, or perversities of judges and juries. It cannot be fully known. The best that a good lawyer can do is to anticipate these whims, prejudices, and perversities and attempt to neutralize or counter whichever interpretations of the law may be adverse …

After Hazelwood: Free Speech Constraints And Theatre Programs, Bob Frank Jan 1993

After Hazelwood: Free Speech Constraints And Theatre Programs, Bob Frank

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article addresses the question of what constitutional constraints govern the lives of academic theatre teacher/directors in the U.S. by highlight the case of the Southwest Missouri State University's theatre program. Although theatre artists and teachers seldom settle their controversies in the courts, the courts have established a body of judicial doctrine that is relevant to the administrator of academic theatre. Questions such as what should drama teachers, directors and administrators know about the legal limits of their freedom of expression? Conversely, what are the limitations imposed by the courts on administrative officials regarding their ability to control or regulate …

Academic Theatre And The Law, John C. Countryman Jan 1993

Academic Theatre And The Law, John C. Countryman

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article offers evidence of how law pertains to the management of theatre programs and argues that to accept the common characterization of the law as an instrument of social control or as the science of social problem-solving is to ignore the larger intellectual life it affords. Whether we acknowledge it or not, those of us who administer theatre programs are engaged in an activity that is informed by and subject to the legal imagination and the culture of argument it creates. In 1990 the Carnegie Foundation published a report entitled Campus Life: In Search of Community. The report chronicles …

Unlocking Creativity In Actors: Inhibiting Factors, Brant L. Pope Jan 1993

Unlocking Creativity In Actors: Inhibiting Factors, Brant L. Pope

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article attempts to examine the nature of imagination and creativity in the acting process. It argues that successful acting is the ability to extend the imagination into the creative act of developing a role and building a character.

The Role Of Creativity In Theatre Education, Lawrence Broglio

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of creativity in theatre education. As we examine and define the terms of this thesis, let us examine educational theatre without limiting ourselves to the narrower framework of Theatre Education as in teacher training program. Let us consider the wider stage, the arena of educating the scholar, the student and the educator as creative artist. On that stage let us examine the production by and among scholars, poets, students and faculty using all their faculties in an artistic, collaborative, creative evolution. Not to deny teacher training, but to include it. In support of Theatre Education …
