Two weeks ago a dog was needed to complete the cast of characters for the play.
A WEEK AGO, 12-year-old Michael Ores, who lives with his parents at 1913 Madeline Lane. offered his cocker spaniel's assistance.
The Speech I Potpourri finals will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday nights in Fraser Theater.
Eight different students will compete each night and three students each night will be awarded gavels as winners.
The difficulty in finding the other cast member was to find an animal that was well-trained and easy to work with. The drama department put out a public request for a cockier spannel to perform the two "walk-ons" in the play.
"Taffy," the dog, is doing a good job in the play, Gordon Beck, instructor of speech and drama and director of the play, said.
Speech I Holds Contest Finals
The event is part of the Speech I course taught at the university. Each Speech I class selects one representative to compete. There are approximately 50 classes, E.C. Buchler, professor of speech and drama explained. The students in the semifinals are divided into two groups of 25. Out of these two groups of eight students are chosen for the final competition.
"ABOUT EIGHT YEARS ago we (the speech department) decided to have informative speeches." Prof. Buehler said. Before this time the speeches could be varied, he explained.
The eight minute speeches have "multiple values," Prof. Buehler said. First, the speech potpourri consolidates the Speech I program, and second it "brings into focus many essential things that make up an informative speech," he remarked.
The trend in speeches is more and more towards the informative speech, Prof. Buchler said. This speech helps, he explained, "to give the audience new information or additional insights."
THE JUDGES for the final contest on Wednesday and Thursday nights are the Speech I students. Each student is given a card when he comes to listen to the speeches. At the end of the speeches the students vote for what they feel is the best one. The votes are then counted and the top three on either night wins.
