A 60-Minute Week CBS ' s Mike Wallace Highlights Ninth Annual Communications Week It can ' t be said that there is a communication problem at Ohio University. Not, at least, during the first week of May when the College of Communication sponsored its annual Communication Week. Resembling the prophets of a world long gone, professionals from all fields of communication came to the OU campus. They took part in semi- nars, workshops, demonstrations, lec- tures and informal get-togethers in an effort to provide the students with val- uable insights on the latest achieve- ments and advances of communica- tion techniques. Each school encompassed in the College of Communication had its own field day. Doug Sinsel, former Wallace ' s visit in early May highlighted the activities of Communication Week. 18 Communications week

The Elizabeth Andersch Award was pre- sented to Virginia Hahne, associate professor of theatre, for her contrib- utions in the field of speech educa- tion. The School of Hearing and Speech Sciences hosted professionals from inside and outside the department. Among their many speakers were Joann Fokes and Norman Garber, who conducted a video-tape lecture con- cerning case studies in language ther- apy. Two main events marked the end of the week. The first was the Ohio Con- ference on Communication held in the R-TV building. The conference was devoted to presentations by researchers currently working on communication problems. The other event was a lecture spon- sored by the Kennedy Lecture Series which featured Mike Wallace of CBS ' s Sixty Minutes. Wallace used exam- ples to illustrate the legal and ethical problems that journalists face in their quest for truth. He also added in his speech before a crowd of approxi- mately 2500 people, that the initial Nixon-Frost interview was a remarka- ble document. Prior to his speech, Wallace was awarded the Carr Van Anda Award for his contributions to the journalism field.
