Theatre Within A Speech-Theatre Department, Carla Waal Oct 1984

Theatre Within A Speech-Theatre Department, Carla Waal

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the place of theatre within combined speech and theatre departments, using the Department of Speech and Dramatic Art at the University of Missouri, Columbia as a central example. It outlines the department’s historical development from rhetoric and public speaking, the addition of theatre and radio-television-film, and the effects of housing related areas within one administrative unit. The article describes both the practical advantages of consolidation, including political influence, enrollment strength, service courses, and graduate assistantships, and the challenges of shared governance, budget priorities, facilities, area identity, and administrative responsibility. It also considers whether theatre programs are better …

A Major In Public And Corporate Communication: Curriculum Development And Implementation At A Small University, William W. Neher, Royce E. Flood

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Curriculum development for a public and corporate communication major at Butler University is described as a response to student interest in career-oriented liberal arts education. The article explains how the program combined speech communication, English, journalism, and radio-television coursework to prepare students for public relations, corporate communication, media, and public-sector communication roles. It outlines the influence of public relations education recommendations, community advisory input, and faculty committee planning on the program’s design. The curriculum includes a university core, major requirements across four departments, cognate options in business administration or public affairs, and internship opportunities with communication-related organizations.

Figuring Workload Equivalencies Of Performance/Production Assignments For Theatre Faculty, Lorayne W. Lester, Robert Yowell, Donald L. Loeffler Oct 1984

Figuring Workload Equivalencies Of Performance/Production Assignments For Theatre Faculty, Lorayne W. Lester, Robert Yowell, Donald L. Loeffler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Originating from an ACA-sponsored symposium at the 1983 Southeastern Theatre Conference Convention, this piece addresses how theatre faculty workload should account for performance and production assignments. The symposium introduction identifies the discussion as an effort to document common practices among theatre programs at Southeastern colleges and universities. The published contributions focus on directing, design, technical supervision, practicum instruction, and summer production work as forms of teaching, research, creative activity, and university service. Particular attention is given to the need for academic administrators to recognize theatre production as part of faculty workload rather than as uncompensated service. The piece also describes …


Nonverbal Communication Of The Deaf, Jayne S. Lytle Oct 1984

Nonverbal Communication Of The Deaf, Jayne S. Lytle

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Nonverbal communication among deaf people is discussed in relation to American Sign Language, Deaf culture, and interactions between deaf and hearing people. The article distinguishes between nonverbal behavior and the visual linguistic features of ASL, noting that movements of the face, eyes, head, and body may function as part of the language rather than as merely expressive gestures. It reviews assumptions about deaf people’s receptive and expressive nonverbal abilities, including the idea that visual communication automatically produces greater skill in interpreting body language. The article describes characteristic behaviors related to proxemics, touch, attention-getting gestures, eye gaze, and paralanguage, with attention …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

As They Are: How Relevant Are Professional Publications For Theatre In Academe?, David L. Jorns Oct 1984

As They Are: How Relevant Are Professional Publications For Theatre In Academe?, David L. Jorns

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using the closure of Exchange: A Journal of Opinion for the Performing Arts as a starting point, this article examines the relationship between academic theatre professionals and professional publications. It describes the journal’s original purpose as an outlet for performance faculty in higher education and traces how its audience, submissions, and circulation diverged from those expectations. The article considers low readership and publication rates among theatre faculty, the role of automatic association subscriptions in sustaining some journals, and survey findings suggesting that creative production is often accepted in place of refereed publication for promotion and tenure. It argues that many …


Sign Systems In Communication, Carol J. Garretson Oct 1984

Sign Systems In Communication, Carol J. Garretson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Sign systems and sign languages are introduced through distinctions among American Sign Language, manual English systems, fingerspelling, simultaneous communication, Total Communication, Pidgin Sign English, international sign, and Cued Speech. The article clarifies terminology related to deafness, hearing impairment, and manual communication, while addressing common misconceptions that sign language is universal, nonverbal, or merely gestural. It traces the development of home signs, childrenese, school signs, and regional signing patterns, and explains that American Sign Language is an independent language with its own grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and capacity for abstraction. The article also describes efforts to represent English manually through systems such …
