During the past
decade, cell phone technology has exploded upon the scene and moved from a
convenient luxury to an essential necessity within our collective
conscience. Cell phones are viewed as an
essential lifeline without which life would appear to be impossible. However,
this town hall debate will provide a balanced perspective concerning the short
and long-term advantages and devastating disadvantages of cell phone use. All four participants have extensive
backgrounds in collegiate debate and the debate will follow a parliamentary
debate format which will center upon civility, humor, and audience
participation.

Any causal examination of the popular sports talk arena, be it on radio, television, or the newspaper, reveals that the sports community is riddled with controversy and disagreement. However, these discussions are rarely exclusive to the world of sports. Rather, these debates are often microcosms of larger issues found in the broader American cultural landscape. This panel explores how the sports world functions as a site for interlocutors to engage complex social issues and hone one’s argumentative skills. To that end, these papers examine how debates over representations of race, gender, and science play out in the sports world and how such debates are reflective of the broader social sphere.

RESPONDENT: CLARK ROUNDTREE,
In this digital age, communication scholars often debate the merits of needing to study the scholarship of ancient/classical rhetoric. Due to these debates a disconnect exist between the messages of ancient/classical rhetoric and their applicability to today’s modern age. Thus, this panel is comprised of critical papers that examine important ancient/classical rhetorical messages and attempts to reconnect the modern communication community to its ancient/classical roots. Each paper provides a unique ancient/classical message, concept, text that needs to be examined as the modern communication community cannot provide answers to them. Therefore, these papers are designed to examine questions, concepts and messages from the past that are still suitable for examination today. Therefore, in order to settle the debate over the need to study ancient/classical rhetoric this panel uses its different texts to reconnect the community to its roots.

marginalized as “communistic” by southern image-makers, arrested several times,
and barred from some southern communities.
One form of their resistance was a creative use of the tools of

1961 in Braden v.

As an increasingly high number of students enroll as majors in public relations and then graduate to enter the field as trained communicators, it is important to analyze the role media images play in their selection of public relations as a field of study, as well as, what they perceive the public relations practice will entail upon completing their degrees. This panel seeks to explore the impression public relations students, both entering and graduating from their undergraduate degree programs, have of the profession. A deeper awareness of the student perspective will enable educators to strengthen the public relations curriculum by better understanding what attracts students to this field and then working with our students to help them discern true roles of communication specialists by separating fact from fiction by realistic interpretations of mediated reality. Finally, this study will give insight and facilitate gauging the students’ understanding of public relations and the communication careers they have chosen. The panelists represent both relatively new and veteran professors who have been engaged in a variety of research projects on related topics. The panelists, furthermore, were selected to represent a variety of student populations within the region.

Victoria J. Gallagher and Kenneth
S. Zagacki,
Advances in communication technology have resulted in new and more accessible means of creating and distributing visual images and artifacts. At the same time, the last 20 years have witnessed and increase in memorial building and other types of public artwork projects, from murals (in Philadelphia) to sculptures (the Monument to Joe Louis aka “the Fist” in Detroit) to the creation of public parks with significant sculptures (Millennium Park in Chicago). Scholars in rhetoric and in communication have begun to analyze the discourses surrounding public art in public spaces as well as some of the artifacts themselves but there has been little, if any, attempt to engage in conversation across approaches or, for that matter, to engage in comparative analysis from multiple perspectives. This panel provides a means for examining the possibility of intersections between visual communication and visual rhetoric research as well as exploring the challenges these two research areas or approaches pose for one another. Panelists will present 10 minute case studies or position papers and then will lead the audience in synthesizing and critiquing the papers. Ultimately we wish to assess the problems and potentialities of these two areas of scholarship in regard to public art in a digital age.

Research consistently shows that students who are better communicators are better students, and people who are better communicators are more effective in both their professional and their personal lives. Workshops provide an effective, efficient way to help people across the institution understand the value of effective communication, and also offer specific ideas for improvement. In the process, key constituencies gain valuable insight into the centrality of communication in the educational process.

This discussion will provide practical insights into how communication professors have utilized technology and creativity to help them overcome geographic, cultural, technological, and educational obstacles to offer their students service-learning opportunities that, in turn, helped create discursive realms of dialogic, healthy interaction (community). From this perspective, it could be argued that the connections made by the students engaged in their service learning experiences, created relationships built upon respect, discipline, trust, participation, cooperation, responsibility – all required elements for building and maintaining healthy communities.

"Using Service Learning Projects to Teach Copyright

Janet
Rice McCoy,
Plagiarism is a slippery slope
within the field of public relations.
Practitioners are frequently given materials by their clients that need
to be revised and rework. Consequently,
service learning writing projects with community partners provide an ideal
opportunity for students to learn about plagiarism. The professor can challenge the students to
explore copyright issues as they work with client-provided graphics and
background information.
