Criteria For Referral Of Pre-School Children By Pediatricians And Family Practice Physicians To Audiologists And Otolaryngologists, Janet Celia James

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether pediatricians and family practice physicians were using standard criteria referring pre-school children to otolaryngologists and/or audiologists. Data was collected regarding the types of instruments and procedures used in the referral, in addition to the etiologies most frequently referred. Comparisons of referral criteria were made between pediatricians and family practice physicians.

A 17-item questionnaire regarding audiological tests, procedures and pathologies was sent to 108 pediatricians and 112 familiar practice physicians in the Central Florida area. Similarities in tests and procedures used by the two groups of physicians were limited to the use …

A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay engages with the preceding discussions on professionalism in small academic departments, particularly those by Duffy, Rosenfield, and Ryan. The author argues that professionalism is determined more by individual and institutional values than by departmental organization or discipline. The analysis commends Duffy’s perspective on thriving within merged departments, noting that collegial support and shared commitment matter more than structural autonomy. It also reflects on Rosenfield’s treatment of unionism, suggesting that while collective bargaining once represented liberation for faculty, it risks devolving into an excessive focus on wages and working conditions rather than educational quality. The essay praises Ryan’s …

Using Theatre Appreciation And Universal Aspects Of Drama As Recruiting Tools, Jerry L. Schwiebert

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article presents a strategy for recruiting students into small or non major theatre programs through theatre appreciation courses and participatory workshops. The author identifies the main obstacles to student involvement as misconceptions about time commitment and insecurity about performance ability, arguing that directors must make programs accessible and meaningful to potential participants. The discussion describes how introductory theatre courses can serve as both audience development and recruiting platforms by incorporating play reading, performance based assignments, and playwriting exercises. These activities allow instructors to identify talented and interested students while demystifying the rehearsal process. The article also highlights the use …

Equivocality: The Managerial Art Of Hedging, Michele T. Myers

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reflects on two questions in administrative practice. First, whether formal training in speech communication prepares individuals for administrative roles. Second, whether classroom models of communication correspond to organizational realities. Drawing on experience as an academic administrator, the analysis offers a qualified affirmation on both counts while challenging the field’s assumption that communication should always strive for common meaning and high fidelity. The argument advances equivocality as a strategic resource in settings marked by conflicting demands, uncertain audiences, and high stakes decisions. It synthesizes theoretical work on equivocal messaging and disqualification to explain why administrators sometimes benefit from ambiguity, …

The Concept Of A School Of Communication, John Lee Jellicorse

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay traces the historical development of the communication disciplines and argues for the reintegration of their fragmented academic structures into unified schools of communication. Beginning with the rhetorical traditions of antiquity, it outlines the evolution of oral discourse education through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, highlighting key moments such as the elocutionary movement, the separation of speech from English departments, and the emergence of specialized areas including theatre, mass communication, communication disorders, and rhetoric. The analysis attributes administrative fragmentation to uneven disciplinary growth and institutional politics, which produced inefficiency and weakened the field’s collective influence. Drawing on examples from …
