Ideal Interactive Roles Of Chairs And Deans, Jon Whitmore

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the collaborative relationship between chairs and deans, arguing that effective administration depends on open communication, shared responsibility, and mutual awareness of constraints. It identifies common barriers to productive interaction, including territorialism and limited communication. The article proposes a model in which deans guide and mentor chairs, while chairs offer grounded departmental insight, creating a reciprocal advisory relationship. It distinguishes the differing scopes of authority and responsibility held by chairs and deans and argues that alignment of goals requires systematic dialogue and coordinated planning. Evaluation is presented as a mutual process in which each party provides constructive feedback …

A Nation At Risk: One Year After, R. R. Allen

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the impact of the National Commission on Excellence in Education’s report on the perceived decline in American educational quality. It begins by noting the unusual public visibility achieved by the report and reviews the indicators of national risk identified by the Commission, including declining achievement scores, functional illiteracy among adolescents, and widespread remedial instruction across higher education, the military, and industry. The article then surveys potential causes of this decline, ranging from weak graduation and admissions requirements to inadequate teacher preparation, poor instructional materials, insufficient parental support, and diminished professional morale. The discussion shifts to the responsibilities …

Auditioning, Robert E. Ankrom

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article describes the development of a structured audition training course designed to prepare graduating acting students for professional auditions in major theatre centers.

The essay outlines the creation of an auditioning class limited to advanced students and organized around a culminating trip to New York, where participants experience actual audition environments. The course includes instruction in self evaluation, type identification, professional photographs and resumes, monologue preparation, sight readings, and interview techniques. Additional components address appropriate attire, vocal and …
