October, 1996 GKEETINGS On behalf of the Board of Directors of the New York State Speech Communication Association, I am pleased to welcome you to our 54th Annual Convention. The conference theme, "Culture, Communication and Media,"' was chosen to encourage other disciplines to join us in enlarging and deepening our understanding of communication as we approach the 21st Century. I hope you will have an exciting and enriching experience as you attend this year's conference panels and special events. With sixty panels to choose from and fifty­ five universities and colleges represented, the theme is reflected in the rich inix of interests and perspectives. This year, as always, we welcome new and old faces including young scholars. By encouraging their research and showcasing their findings we hope we have begun a long-term relationship with our new members. While your intellectual senses are being aroused, we hope you will have the opportunity to experience the changing season and all the facilities available at Kutsher's Country Club.

IA Identifying Two Aspects ofNonverbal Communication 2:00p.m. -3:15p.m. Chair: Jill Weinberg, New York University "The Communication of Clothing : A Study of Dress Codes And Culture." This paper also addresses the attitudes of students about the installation of a university regulated dress code. Elisa Hertz, New York University" "The World of Silence." The primary concern of this presentation is the communicative value of silence. The panelist looks into the importance and functions of silence in communicative situations Mark Golubow, New York University Teachers and students of the arts exchange subtle nonverbal information during the course of a lesson. Instruction in the Arts is rarely offered over distance learning networks because of this. This presentation will examine the e:-.:periments conducted to find the problems in communication that occurred and how changes in the design of telecommuncation networks could enable this communication to take place.
