Exorcising Some Devils, August W. Staub Aug 1984

Exorcising Some Devils, August W. Staub

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reflects on theatre administration as a form of leadership grounded in judgment, responsibility, personality, and practical experience.

The article addresses common concerns in departmental leadership, including rapid judgment, communication, delegation, and professional exhaustion, and reframes these concerns as conditions that administrators must manage directly rather than avoid. It emphasizes the role of a single accountable leader in drama department administration, especially where production, pedagogy, …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Student perspectives on course access problems are examined in relation to communication courses facing high demand and limited instructional resources. The article reports student responses to possible remedies for overenrollment, including enrollment limits, large lectures, small performance sections, graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate assistants, reduced performances, mediated instruction, and priority registration for majors. The findings suggest that students were willing to accept some structural changes, especially large lectures paired with small performance sections, greater use of graduate assistants, media support, and priority for majors. However, students resisted eliminating performance work, relying on undergraduate assistants, or reducing personal attention from faculty. The …
