From Research Paper To Published Article: A Symposium Introduction, Goodwin F. Berquist

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The introduction frames a symposium on the transition from research paper to published article by highlighting the limited publication records of most PhD graduates and the resulting concern for graduate educators and academic administrators. It argues that weak publication outcomes stem less from lack of research capacity than from insufficient guidance on how to publish during early scholarly socialization. The narrative situates faculty development as a central responsibility of communication administration and calls for concrete, procedural information rather than generic exhortations to publish. It then describes a panel at the Central States Speech Association convention in Lincoln, Nebraska, where presenters …

Publish What?, William R. Brown

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the question of what kinds of scholarly work are most suitable for publication in communication studies, with particular attention to the needs of young scholars and those who mentor them. It defines publishable scholarship as “news” for the profession: work grounded in genuine intellectual curiosity, connected to significant conversations in the field, and willing to take calculated risks. The article distinguishes between general qualities of newsworthy research and more specific topics for future inquiry. Its proposed research agenda centers on symbolically negotiated patterns in human communication, including perspective-shifting, infinite regress, hypostatizing, cultural enactment, and learning. These topics …

Computing Literacy In The University Of The Future, Vernon W. Gantt

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article discusses the anticipated role of computing literacy in higher education during the emerging personal computer era. It distinguishes computing literacy, defined as the ability to use computers and software for practical tasks, from computer literacy, which includes programming and technical understanding of computer operations. The article argues that universities must respond to rapid developments in microcomputer technology and that faculty and administrators risk becoming less technologically capable than their students if they do not acquire basic computing skills. It surveys potential applications of computers in university teaching, research, writing, administration, advising, publishing, libraries, testing, data analysis, and professional …

Response To The University Of The Future, Lane Jennings

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay reflects on the future of the university from the perspective of an editor and journalist responding to essays on civic virtue, interdisciplinary communication, and computing literacy. It considers the university both as a civic community and as a looser relationship among teachers, students, and knowledge, drawing comparisons between American residential higher education, medieval universities, and emerging computer-networked instruction. The essay supports the role of universities in preparing students for democratic participation while also warning that new telecommunications technologies may reshape or weaken campus-based community if institutions do not adapt deliberately. It discusses interdisciplinary communication as a way …

The Domestic Policy Association: A Test Of Public Communication, David Matthews

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article describes the development of the Domestic Policy Association and its National Issues Forums as a model for public learning and citizen discussion of national policy questions. Originating from a 1981 meeting of civic and educational organizations, the association sought to address public alienation, fragmented civic life, and the gap between citizens and policymakers. The article outlines how participating organizations selected issues with both national and local significance, developed accessible and politically neutral discussion materials, and organized face-to-face forums designed to help participants move beyond initial opinions toward more informed judgments. It also describes the role of the Public …

Joining The Issues: Notes On Public Policy Debate, Robert J. Kingston

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines how public issues can be identified, framed, and discussed in ways that support meaningful public policy debate. It distinguishes casual public talk from deliberative discussion in which citizens weigh policy choices, consider tradeoffs, and move toward informed judgment. The article outlines several indicators for recognizing emerging public issues, including opinion polls, demographic trends, cultural change, geography, and latent public sentiment. It argues that issues suitable for public debate generally affect broad segments of the population, involve moral as well as technical dimensions, reveal differences between expert and public understandings, or arise when the political process has reached …

Full Circle: The Domestic Policy Association, Annabel Dunham Hagood

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article traces the development of the Domestic Policy Association from early concerns about public deliberation in the aftermath of Vietnam, Watergate, and declining trust in government to the first Presidential Library Conference on the Public and Public Policy in 1983. It describes the role of David Mathews, educational institutions, civic organizations, the National Consortium for Public Policy Education, the Johnson Foundation, the Public Agenda Foundation, and the Kettering Foundation in shaping a national network for public policy education. The article explains how the National Issues Forum emerged as a grassroots, non-advocacy model for informed public discussion of domestic issues, …

A Study To Determine The Extent Of A Justification For A Building Bond Referendum In Mt. Zion, Illinois, Robert Herrmann

Masters Theses

The purpose of this field study was to determine the extent of a justification for a bond referendum that would provide the funds for additional facilities for the Mt. Zion High School. This study is concerned with the action taken to achieve that goal.

An overview of the community's history with regard to education was relevant to understanding the importance of education in this community. The problem that faced the community was overcrowded facilities and lack of updated curriculum. A growth in population was addressed in terms of its impact on the educational facilities at the high school.

This field …

The Future Of Equipment Repair In School Media Centers In Central Illinois, Connie Peters

Masters Theses

This project concerned repair of equipment in school media centers. A survey was designed and distributed to area media specialists and administrators.

The author found that media specialists, in general, view repair as a coming fact of life -- something of a necessity for the future. On the other hand, some administrators said that they didn't want their media specialists involved in repair work. The author's recommendations included:

1. Media specialists, increasingly, need to have at least minimal skills in maintenance and repair of equipment.
2. In order to acquire these skills, school districts will need to A. provide workshops (training), and …
