Public speech classes present at A&M for 100 years
By BEVERLY MANJEOT
Whether they’re “shooting the
bull' with their roommates, con
versing with professors about low
grades, or gossiping with friends at
the Dixie Chicken, Texas A&M
University students have proved
they like to talk.
Since the beginning of the
English department almost a
hundred years ago, Speech Com
munication has been taught at Texas
A&M. It is a humanistic and scien
tific field of study, research and ap
plication.
“Public speaking isn’t just getting
in front of an audience and giving an
oral speech,” said Dr. Josh Crane,
associate professor in the English
department. “A good public speaker
should not only be able to give a
variety of public speeches very well,
but he should also know what he is
doing and why he is successful. He
needs to know how to analyze a
pubilc speech.”
In the current fall catalog there
are three courses listed under
Speech. The most popular class is
Public Speaking 403, said Crane.
“Public Speaking 403 has 30 sec
tions and almost 650 students each
term. We coidd possibly have over
1,000 students in the fall,” Crane
said.
Crane said his primary respon
sibilities as “multicourse chairman
are to further develop the speech
teaching field by adding more
classes to the curriculum, develop
ing a speech degree program, con
sulting with various departments so
the new courses will reflect the
needs of students in those areas and
making recommendations regarding
the hiring of more speech teachers.
“We re planning a degree in
teacher education that will help
elementary and high school
teachers,” Crane said.
The the new courses going
through the lengthy approval pro
cess are: Principles of Speech
Communication which involves
theory and practice of human com
munication; Technical Speaking and
Speech Writing (404), which in
volves writing, developing and de
livery of technical material through
speechs using multi-media equip
ment; and Group Communication
and Discussion (409), which in
volves interview principles and
techniques, roleplaying and
problem-solving.
“It takes about a year before a
proposed course is accepted be
cause the bureaucracy is unbelieva
ble, Crane said. “So far, however,
everything is going remarkably
smooth,” said Crane.
Last December, Crane attended
a speech communication conven
tion, a national convention for all
people interested in speech com
munication, in San Francisco. The
convention is divided into three
parts, a “slave market” for people
looking for work, an organizational
business meeting and the reading of
outstanding academic papers, said
Dr. John Powers, a speech profes
sor.
Crane went to interview people
interested in filling two speech
teaching positions available in the
Texas A&M English Department.
He made his recommendations to
Dr. David H. Stewart, head of the
English department. From these
recommendations, Stewart selected
Dr. Dorothy Kirn, instructor and
director of the Debate and Foren
sics Team, and Dr. Powers, who
teaches speech with an emphasis on
drama.
As “multi-course chairman,”
Crane said, he is also concerned
with rooms and instructors, getting
video tape equipment to use in par
ticipative speech programs and find
ing a way to eliminate the wide
vergence in grading techniques lie
tween professors.
“Public speaking is a very compl
cated process,” Crane said. “A goo
constant public speaker must thin!
about what he’s doing, watch
self, listen to himself and watdili;
audience. He needs to lookintotln
whites of his audience’s eyes.”

In the industry division, govern
ment has grown faster than any
the others. From 1960 to 1974,
number of government employ
increased from 8.4 million to
million, a 70 per cent increase. Ml
of this growth was at the state am

Goods-produeing industries as
predicted to have slower inerew

For example, agriculture, wl|
