Discussion

     During the eight years from 1986 to 1993, there was a modest increase in the total number of dissertations, an increase which shared by female and male authors alike. The gender distribution indicates, however, that males are gradually narrowing the dissertation gap, both among authors of completed dissertations as well as among authors who are preparing their dissertations.

     Equally interesting is the modest shift in the subjects of dissertations. In the 1993 list, males continue to lead females as subjects of completed dissertations. Female authors preparing their dissertations continue to show an overwhelming preference for female subjects, while male authors have not increased their interest in female subjects appreciably.

Chapter Reports

Kentucky: Kentucky Chapter

     The annual meeting of the Kentucky chapter of AATSP was held at the Radison Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 18, 1994, in conjunction with the Kentucky Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Dr. Genelle Morain, Distinguished Professor of Language Education at the University of Georgia, delivered the keynote address «Multiculturalism: Window to the World», on fostering cross-cultural understanding. Sister María Francine Stacy of Notre Dame Academy (Park Hills) presented a session entitled «Using Computers and Other Technology in the Spanish Classroom», and Pam Wink of Western Hills High School gave a session on student-centered activities entitled «De todo un poco». Thanks were extended to Ivor Wilson (Jessamine County HS) and Ginger Robinson (Apollo HS) for their contributions to the KATSP «Teacher's Swap Shop».

     President Lu Settles Young opened the luncheon meeting and proceeded to the election of officers for the next two-year term. Dr. Judith Conde acceded to the presidency and Mr. Ed Brown, Dr. C. Michael Waag and Mr. Dan Kinnell were nominated and elected by acclamation to the offices of President-Elect, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. President Conde called for the minutes and the treasurer's report which were duly delivered. Outgoing President Lu Settles Young was given a gift and a round of applause in expression of gratitude for her dedicated and diligent service.

     Pam Wink speaking on behalf of Beth Gaunce, urged participation in the National Spanish Honor Society or Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica and asked anyone who would like to start a chapter to contact Beth. Some $18,000 will be distributed for student travel and events at the next convention. Members are encouraged to participate in the state Conference in Louisville and the National Conference in San Diego. Ballots will soon be distributed for election of national officers of the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica. Congratulations to Susan Stucker and Pam Wink whose schools won two of five national Sociedad Hispánica Chapter of the Year Awards.

     Mr. Ed Brown of Asbury College takes over the coordination of the 1995 National Spanish Exam from Pat Cooper. A total of 1277 students from 49 schools took the exam this time as compared to 1259 students from 56 high schools the previous year. Participation has continued to grow over the last several years.

     Congratulations to Jim Garland of Henry Clay High School for winning the Project Recognition Award with «El día de los Muertos». Mr. Garland handed out materials and delivered a short talk on the project, asking members to fill out a Project Recognition Form and write up their best project for the next competition. Congratulations to Linda McKenzie of Lafayette High School for being selected as one of the Fayette County Teachers of the year, and to Susan Stucker of Paul Blazer High School in Ashland for her recent grant award from the West Virginia Humanities Council and for winning an Ashland Oil Golden Apple Achievement Award.

Tennessee: Tennessee Chapter

     The Tennessee Chapter of AATSP held its annual dinner meeting on Friday, November 4, 1994 at the Marriott Hotel in Nashville in conjunction with the 27th Annual Conference of the Tennessee Foreign Language Teaching Association. An excellent program was provided by Bedford Smith, a teacher of Spanish at Cleveland High School, whose summer study grant from NEH enabled him to spend six weeks on a coffee plantation in Honduras. Bedford presented slides showing many views of the people and places of the country and shared with us some of the results of his research into their oral tradition of folk tales and legends. He narrated the story «Saturnino y los caites mágicos», and distributed copies of the tale along with recipes for Tres leches, Plátanos en gloria, and Sopa de frijoles negros con verduras which he obtained from the «Finca El Cisne» where he lived in Honduras.

     President Francille Bergquist of Vanderbilt University conducted the business meeting. Mary Frances Wadley, Jackson State Community College, State Director for the AATSP National Spanish Examinations, reported on the 1994 results and changes made by the national organization for the 1995 exams scheduled in Tennessee on February 25. Cindy Jayne, Union University, announced that the 1995 Feria Hipánica would be held March 18 in Jackson. The Chapter elected by acclamation Mary Frances Wadley, JSCC, as Vice-President and Evanda McDowell, Whites Creek HS, Nashville, as Middle Tennessee representative to the Executive Board.

     The Chapter recognized past-President Ilza Wood, Webb School of Knoxville, for many years of dedicated service, and presented her with a clock to commemorate the occasion of her retirement at the end of the academic year.

     The AATSP members elected at the Conference to three-year terms on the TFLTA Board of Directors are: David Julseth, Belmont University, and Aliene Click, Cookeville HS. Serving on the TFLTA Board are Juanita Shettlesworth, President; Cindy Ridgway, Second Vice-President; Cindy Jayne, Secretary; Beckie Gibson, Historian; Mercedes Akers, Michael Handelsman, Bill Heflin, Patsy Lanigan, Judy Morris, Ingrid Padial, Mary Beth Seltzer, Dorothy Winkles, and Ilza Wood.

Texas: Llano Estacado Chapter

     The AATSP Llano Estacado Chapter held its Fall Meeting in the Qualia Room at Texas Tech University on November 4, 1994, with Dr. Ted McVay presiding. After all members introduced themselves, the minutes of the previous meeting and Treasurer's Report were read and approved. Those wishing to participate in the National Spanish Exam were reminded to notify Olivia Cervantez before December 15. There was an update on the Foreign Language Festival sponsored by the South Plains Foreign Language Collaborative: new categories include video-taped dialogues, plays/skits, or commercials and an art contest with the theme being «Holiday Celebrations». The revised by-laws were introduced. Members will review the recommended changes and vote on them at the Spring 1995 meeting. Dr. McVay suggested again that our area should include the Northern [436] Panhandle of Texas as well as the South Plains. New business consisted of the appointment of a nominating committee. Committee members are: Lynn Bales, Oralia Bravo, and Olivia Cervantez. Their officer nominations will appear in the Spring newsletter. Recommendations were taken for the Spring Meeting.

     Valerie Job, the chapter secretary, gave a slide presentation of the Rotary Group Study Exchange Program to Brazil. For six weeks, she and four other participants toured a region in the state of Minas Gerais, where they visited schools, courthouses, jails, hospitals, and factories of apparel, candy, coffee and shock absorbers. The participants were in Brazil during the first three games of the World Cup.

     Lynn Bales presented information gleaned from the TFLA Conference in Dallas, October 21-23, 1994 and demonstrated some of the ancillary items used in games.

     Oralia Bravo demonstrated a poem that could be used to emphasize and contrast the present, imperfect and preterite tenses.

Wisconsin: Wisconsin Chapter

     La reunión de 1994 tuvo lugar el pasado 4 de noviembre en el Hotel Paper Valley de Appleton, Wisconsin. La presidenta saliente, Gladys Wisnesfki, inició la reunión dándoles la bienvenida a los presentes y después pasó a presentar a los oficiales del Capítulo AATSP, capítulo de Wisconsin: Armand Betancourt, secretario; Al Magnuson, tesorero; Jackie Gnagi, Coordinadora del Concurso de Pronunciación; Monica Winterfeldt, quien estará a cargo este curso escolar del Concurso del Examen Nacional de Español y Marita Ritsche, quien estuvo a cargo de dicho concurso y es la nueva presidenta del Capítulo.

     El secretario, Armand Betancourt, pasó después a leer el acta de la reunión de mayo de 1994, que se celebró en el Hotel Paper Valley, en Appleton, Wisconsin. Seguidamente, el tesorero, Al Magnuson, tomó la palabra para rendir el informe fiscal del Capítulo. Es importante que los miembros envíen la cuota anual nacional y estatal que hace un total de $33 en forma de un cheque -y no facturas de las escuelas- a nombre de: AATSP -Capítulo Wisconsin para el 15 de diciembre a más tardar (ver la lista de tesoreros en esta sección).

     Hizo uso de la palabra Jackie Gnagi, la coordinadora del Concurso de Pronunciación, quien explicó que se necesita ser miembro de las dos organizaciones, la nacional y la estatal, para que los estudiantes puedan participar en los concursos de Pronunciación y el Examen Nacional Escrito. También enfatizó que ser miembro de WAFLT no quiere decir que uno es miembro de AATSP. Jackie pasó a explicar en detalle los nuevos reglamentos y el nuevo sistema de calificar que será puesto en vigor en el Concurso de Pronunciación de 1995 a celebrarse el 29 de abril en Oshkosh. Jackie agregó que cuatro becas serán otorgadas a estudiantes del último año de las escuelas secundarias.

     A continuación tomó la palabra la nueva presidenta, Marita Ritsche, quien nos habló sobre la Reunión Anual en Filadelfia. Especialmente disfrutó mucho del cursillo en que se trazaron las nuevas pautas y el progreso del NSE. Marita después pasó a elogiar el trabajo que desempeñó Gladys Wisnesfki como presidenta de nuestro Capítulo durante dos años. Marita enfatizó que Gladys hizo una labor verdaderamente encomiable y muy productiva.

     Para terminar la reunión, la invitada de honor, Jean Carolyn Williams, la presidenta de la AATSP a nivel nacional en 1994, brindó una interesantísima charla que ella tituló «Multidimensionalism». Esta resultó una charla no sólo muy informativa sino también llena de un gran sentido del humor.
