Speech — Drama Department The school year 1965-66 was an important one for the speech department at SSU. The curriculum was revised to include 20 additional hours in radio and television courses. January 21 marked the beginning of FM broadcasting by WSSU, the new university radio station. The speech faculty was expanded to include a speech therapist. These major achievements enabled students to receive a better education in the field of speech. A minimum of 34 credits brought a student a choice of three speech majors: liberal arts, emphasis on drama, and emphasis on public speaking and teaching of speech. A minimum of 22 credits brought a minor in the same fields. The speech curriculum provided classes in radio, drama, public speaking, speech correction, teaching of speech, and debate. In addition to teaching, the faculty judged many speech and debate tournaments; helped in the production of plays here at SSU, and hosted two speech and debate contests at SSU; one for area high schools and one for colleges and universities. Speech students have an opportunity to work at the SSU radio station.
