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

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 …
Disciplinary Narratives For Change: The Emergence Of Performance Studies Within Athe And Sca, Ronald E. Shields
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
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. …
Academic Departments In China, James Schnell
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.
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 …
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 …

Determining Reasonable Accommodations For The Learning Impaired: New Issues For Able-Bodied Communication Administrators, Craig Newburger
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 …
The Basic Course In Communication Theory: A Shift In Emphasis, Warren Sandmann
The Basic Course In Communication Theory: A Shift In Emphasis, Warren Sandmann
Basic Communication Course Annual
This essay calls for a change in how the introductory communication theory course is taught. Standard models and texts are examined, described and critiqued. The standard model of communication theory depicts theory as a body of knowledge to be studied and applied to specific situations. This one dominant paradigm of communication theory constrains other possible approaches to understanding and teaching communication theory. The remainder of the essay offers a rationale for a shift in the teaching of communication theory, and directions for preliminary changes in the teaching of communication theory.
Ta Mentoring: Issues And Questions, Pamela L. Gray, Martin G. Murray
Ta Mentoring: Issues And Questions, Pamela L. Gray, Martin G. Murray
Basic Communication Course Annual
The widespread use of graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in higher education has generated a search for techniques to improve the quality of teaching of TAs as well as enhance the entire TA experience. One such technique is mentoring. This paper attempts to accomplish four things: (a) delineate issues to be addressed, (b) share feedback from educators with mentoring experience, (c) present questions to guide decision making, and (d) provide a bibliography of literature on mentoring. The information presented comes from a questionnaire administered to basic course directors, a conference discussion on mentoring and the personal experiences of the authors.
Relation Between S2 And Later Generation Testcrosses Of Two Corn Populations, S. M. Lile, A. R. Hallauer
Relation Between S2 And Later Generation Testcrosses Of Two Corn Populations, S. M. Lile, A. R. Hallauer
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Determination of the relative combining abilities of corn (Zea mays L.) inbred lines is an important feature of applied corn breeding programs. Combining ability is measured by the relative performance of a line in testcrosses to one or more testers. Inbred lines from BS13(S2)Cl and BSCB1(R)C7 corn populations were evaluated at the S2 and later generations of inbreeding. Intense selection was practiced among and within lines during inbreeding to develop the S5-equivalent and S8 generation lines. The objective of this study was to determine if the combining ability of lines in early generations (S2) …
Nomenclatural Changes For Some Diatoms Found In Iowa, David B. Czarnecki
Nomenclatural Changes For Some Diatoms Found In Iowa, David B. Czarnecki
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Nomenclatural revisions for four diatom taxa found in Iowa, two of which are presently maintained in the Loras College Freshwater Diatom Culture Collection (FDCC), are necessary because of systematic interpretations of the Division Bacillariophyta. Achnanthidium hauckianum (Grun.) Czarnecki comb. nov. was originally assigned to the genus Achnanthes Bory. Three taxa were previously assigned to the morphologically diverse genus Navicula Bory. These are Cavinula weinzierlii (Schimanski) Czarnecki comb. nov., Craticula cuspidata var. major [(Meist.) Czarnecki comb. nov. and] Craticula halophila var. subcapitata (0str.) Czarnecki comb. nov.
Fusing Educational Reform Policy And Action: Assuring The Development Of Local Leaders, George F. Marnik, Gordon A. Donaldson Jr.
Fusing Educational Reform Policy And Action: Assuring The Development Of Local Leaders, George F. Marnik, Gordon A. Donaldson Jr.
Maine Policy Review
School change does not happen in a vacuum. It requires initiative and leadership. Because Maine's educational system features a strong local control component, successful educational change requires development of local leadership. George Marnik and Gordon Donaldson report on the Maine Academyfor School Leaders, an educational leadership development project in which they were involved. Among other things, the researchers learned that successful educational change is not likely to result from a one-size-fits-all state policy. Rather, successful reform occurs "one individual at a time, one school at a time."
Writing As A Tool For Teaching Public Speaking: A Campus Application, Karla Kay Jensen, Pat Mcqueeney
Writing As A Tool For Teaching Public Speaking: A Campus Application, Karla Kay Jensen, Pat Mcqueeney
Basic Communication Course Annual
All basic communication courses seek to improve students' oral communication skills while also deepening their understanding of the theoretical principles and processes underlying effective communication. Writing, whether in the form of formal assignments or informal in-class activities, can help achieve these goals. This paper offers rationales and approaches for incorporating writing throughout basic courses, and illustrates how formal and informal strategies promote an oral/written relationship in these courses. Included are numerous examples of assignments for basic public speaking courses.

Post-Natal Survival Of Raccoons In Relation To Female Age And Denning Behavior, Jonathan J. Judson, William R. Clark, Ronald D. Andrews
Post-Natal Survival Of Raccoons In Relation To Female Age And Denning Behavior, Jonathan J. Judson, William R. Clark, Ronald D. Andrews
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
We measured post-natal survival of radio-collared raccoons 1-5 months old in southwest Iowa, 1988-1989. We compared survival of young nurtured by yearling and adult females and related den site selection to survival functions using proportional hazards models. Adult females used upland and farmstead habitats note frequently than yearlings, whereas yearling females used lowland habitats note frequently. Tree cavities and beds on the ground were used most frequently. Adult females denned in buildings 13% of the time and in holes in the ground 9.5% of the time, whereas yearlings frequently tested with litters in beds on the ground (31%). Microhab1tat characteristics …
Effects Of Competition And Predation On Prothonotary Warblers And House Wrens Nesting In Eastern Iowa, Timothy Brush
Effects Of Competition And Predation On Prothonotary Warblers And House Wrens Nesting In Eastern Iowa, Timothy Brush
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
In a fragmented midwestern floodplain forest, a small Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) population experienced high competition with House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) and mammalian nest predation in 1988-89. Despite the provision of 3 types of nest boxes and higher water levels, Prothonotary Warblers did not nest successfully and decreased in the fragmented forest in 1990-91. House Wrens used >90% of the nest boxes in both years. Wren territories doubled within the nestbox area, while remaining constant on an unmanipulated area. In contrast, a larger warbler population had high nesting success during 1990-91 in a relatively unfragmented, wetter forest tract. Such forests, …

Dara were collected using Mo Kἀ radiation and refinement converged to R = 0.027 based on the 1996 unique reflections with |Fo|≥3δ(Fo). The iodine atoms were found coexist in two …
Removal Of Magnetic Impurities From Strontium Copper Oxychloride, Colleen B. Eads, Carol J. Kosmicke, Lance L. Miller
Removal Of Magnetic Impurities From Strontium Copper Oxychloride, Colleen B. Eads, Carol J. Kosmicke, Lance L. Miller
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Analyses of a copper-deficient series of Strontium Copper Oxychloride polycrystalline samples are reported. Magnetic susceptibility, X-ray powder diffraction, and differential thermal analyses show a small Curie-type magnetic signal correlates with =0.6% (excess) copper ions in the nominally stoichiometric material. The analyses also imply that the extra magnetic signal is from an impurity phase, possibly related to Strontium Copper Oxide. The concentration of the impurity phase can be controlled by varying the copper stoichiometry.
Testing The Accuracy And Precision Of Wetness Sensors In A Tomato Field And On Turfgrass, Kara J. Potratz, Mark L. Gleason, Melanie L. Hockmuth, Sharon K. Parker, Glenn A. Pearston
Testing The Accuracy And Precision Of Wetness Sensors In A Tomato Field And On Turfgrass, Kara J. Potratz, Mark L. Gleason, Melanie L. Hockmuth, Sharon K. Parker, Glenn A. Pearston
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Measurements of dew-period duration by painted, flat-plate, electronic wetness sensors at the top of the plant canopy in a tomato field and on adjacent turfgrass were compared with visual observations. The response range of sensors during the onset of dew sometimes exceeded 5 hr. but was less than 1 hr. on other nights. Sensors in the tomato field indicated dew formation occurred as much as 2 hr. earlier or later than dew became visible on adjacent tomato leaflets at the top of the crop canopy. A calibration threshold for sensors derived from a drying curve resulted in the underestimation of …
Soybean Residual Effects On A Subsequent Maize Crop, E. S. Escuro, D. N. Sundberg, R. M. Shibles
Soybean Residual Effects On A Subsequent Maize Crop, E. S. Escuro, D. N. Sundberg, R. M. Shibles
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Maize (Zea mays 1.) grown after soybean (Glycine max 1. Merr.) consistently performs better than maize that follows itself (second year maize), irrespective of nitrogen fertilization. In previous studies of the soybean-maize rotation, there never has been an evaluation of the potentially different effects of soybean genotypes on following maize. A two-year, soybean maize rotation was initiated in Ames at 1988 with the first year planted to various soybean genotypes, a maize hybrid, and oat (Avena sativa 1.). These were followed in the second year by a single maize hybrid with 0, 80, 160, and 240 kg/ha N fertilization levels. …
