The University of Nevada-Las Vegas is seeking two graduate assistants for
the 1995-96 school year.  Students with experience in either individual
events or debate may apply.

If you are looking for an exciting place to live (even if you don't
gamble), Las Vegas has much to offer.  We are within 45 minutes of both
lakes and mountains, and the climate here is excellent year round--even
with the "dry" heat!!!  UNLV is a young, growing university with a great
deal of potential.  The UNLV squad travels both a regional (NDT/IE) and
national (NDT) schedule.  We are looking for graduate students who are
eager to help build our growing program into a nationally competitive
program.

UNLV offers a flexible Master's program, allowing students to take
courses in a variety of areas of speciality, including:
telecommunication, broadcasting, rhetorical theory, social movements,
political communication, gender communication, and communication theory.
Students are also encouraged to pursue coursework in other disciplines.
Faculty members have expertise in the corporate world of public
relations, and the academic realm of rhetorical theory, mass media and
communication theory.  Our graduate faculty members have degrees from the
Univ. of Southern Cal., Indiana Univ, Univ. of Arizona, Wayne State
Univ., Univ. of Washington and Ohio State to name a few.

The Greenspun School of Communication was created with a $ 2 million
endowment from the Greenspun family (editors of the Las Vegas Sun
newspaper).  Their commmitment has enabled us to begin building a program
that integrates all areas of communication study.

Admission to the graduate program is contingent on a 3.0 GPA during the
last two years of undergraduate studies, satisfactory scores on the GRE,
3 letters of recommendation, and a brief description of your goals.
The present stipend is $8000 for the academic year.  Tuition waivers
covering out-of-state tuition and approximately 75% of the per credit
hour fee are also granted to graduate assistants.  The graduate fee for
1994-95 is $77.50 per credit hour; non-resident tuition is $2,205 each
semester.  Application deadline is March 15.

Graduate students are assigned to the forensics program half-time, the
remainder of your commitment may include teaching classes such as:
Introduction to Debate, Public Speaking or working with a faculty member
as a research assistant.
