Kiledal's sabbatical changes speech class options
The speech department will rearrange several courses next semester to accommodate Director of Speech Studies Kirstin Kiledal's partial sabbatical.
Associate Professor of Classics Lorna Holmes will teach Western Tradition of Rhetoric next spring, since Kiledal usually teaches it in the fall.
Performing voice, which all Speech majors must take, may not be offered next year. The department may bring in Christina Trace from Michigan State University to teach a course on vocal production as a substitute.
Kiledal will teach one or two courses and oversee senior theses.
Also, the department will change some of the numbering of several speech courses if the faculty vote to approve the changes at the next meeting of the Educational Policy Committee. Some of the course numbers make classes seem easier or more difficult than they actually are, Kiledal said.
"The numbering is quite chaotic," she said.
She said the department never changed them previously because of difficulties with the computer system, which no longer apply.

Night sky report from the Astronomy Club
Venus shines with a stunning magnitude of -4.5 or perhaps even slightly brighter during February. That's seven to eight times brighter than Sirius, the brightest star. If you look to the west during any early evening this month and do not see Venus, it's too cloudy to see anything.
