lar arrangement," he said. "If it
doesn't work better, it may be that
we need to go back to the way it
was before."
Although a temporary De-
partment of Communication,
consisting of several differing
disciplines, for the remainder of
the semester will have little im-
mediate impact on students, some
say that a permanent arrangement
could lead to more changes. And
this possibility has launched
concern among students.
At a meeting earl ier this week
of the Professional Society of
Mass Communicators, majors
voiced their opinions about vari-
ous related issues, including ad-
visement by faculty outside of
mass communication. Members
also touched on how thecredibility
of Wesleyan’s mass communica-
tion program could be affected by
adecision to end the separate mass
communication department per-
manently.
Transfer student Jessica
Schusler, a junior with an adver-
tising/public relations emphasis,
said she preferred to be advised
by mass communication profes-
sors because of their expertise in
her field of study. Students who
were present a*, the meeting
agreed.
“How can [other] professors
advise us in areas of internships
and even classes, if they don't
teach them?” questioned senior
Mary Beth Sisolak, who has an
emphasis in advertising/public
relations. “A professor who is in
our field will have us in class and
will know what we need."
Dr. Miriam Espinosa, chair
of the former languages and lit-
erature department who now
chairs the Department of,Com-
munication, expressed that the
advisement of mass communica-
tion students by outside faculty
would be, for the most pan, lim-
ited to class schedules and pre-
registration procedures, as op-
posed to issues dealing with spe-
cific mass communication-related
concerns.
Senior Lori Rentfrow, presi-
dent of the society, said she had
doubts about what the advantages
of such a decision, if made per-
manent, could be for mass com-
munication students.
“I feel that a permanent move
to the Department of Communi-
cation will make our degrees less
significant,” she said, citing one
reason as a potential loss of
identity for the mass communi-
cation department.
Freshman Margarita
Quintanar said she was concerned
mainly with how the decision
could affect her future in her field
of interest and the significance of
Wesleyan’s mass communication
program to the employment com-
munity.
"[A potential employer] may
choose someone from TCU,
where they have a completely
separate departmentofjournalism,
over me," she said.
Dr. Anantha Babbili, chair-
man of the Department of Jour-
nalism at Texas Christian Uni-
versity, said that a permanent
move would definitely affect the
program’s credibility.
“The program will become
less visible,” he said. “It's a step
backward," he added, referring to
the trend of universities to differ-
entiate journalism programs from
other aspects of study.
Babbili also said he felt that
mass communication programs
should retain their own identity
and autonomy.
“The department should have
an identity for the student’s sake,"
he said.
Members of the mass com-
municators society will begin
petitioning this week to block the
temporary decision from becom-
ing permanent, Rentfrow said.
