Page 10D THE WICHITA EAGLE AND BEACON Sunday, November 12, 1972 Tabor Innovations Might Set Trend By JACK L. KENNEDY Education HILLSBORO, Kan. easiest lable to tack on to year was the smallest liberal DR. CHARLES HORN "Conservative" might be the Tabor College, which until this arts college in the state. But labels seldom fit without alterations.
The "conservative" school with lengthy statement of Christian purpose in its catalog rules and required chapel has some 1950-era clean cut students. also has what a visiting official of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools called programs which "other schools may be copying 50 years from now." "A KID COMES to Tabor to changed, to change us," education department head Charles Horn. There are a few "ultra religious, super is pious" students, he added with a smile, and the school has no intention of relaxing its relatively strict dormitory rules. Tabor is changing, with students on every one of the campus committees except financial aids (they did not want to decide a fellow student's fate.) Horn talks enthusiastically about the Institutional Studies Committee, which also includes students, and a new 3-track grading system which will eliminate grades. A look at the catalog shows a move away from in breeding often found in small colleges.
More faculty members are coming from the University of Southern California, Montana State University, Michigan State University, and elsewhere. One out of every four Tabor students participates in some form of "practical outreach," which include not only preaching in an area church but taking a Wichita youngster to a football game. Selected students can enroll at Tabor while still in high school. The college's open admissions policy for freshmen states "We believe that average as well as exceptional students may develop into responsible citizens." Since the fall of 1968 the Mennonite Brethren college has offered a major in social work. Its music department draws friends of the faculty who just happen to "drop in" for a day or so to work with the students.
Horn believes the school can be conservative theologically and innovative educationally. Other faculty members apparently share this view, and wanted to change such things as the old general education package. THIS MAY MEAN giving course credit for the required convocations, with an informal seminar afterward. "Anything is fair game," Horn said, as the school looks at its curriculum. It will force a faculty member to probe "what he's teaching and why he's teaching it," Horn said.
"Probably the main issue now is how liberal we want to be," said Hillsboro junior Darla Reimer. Courses in the major field will still be taken for a grade, she said. Miss Reimer, a pre-med chemistry major, likes the idea of no pressure grades. "Right now, I'm planning to take a philosophy course I wouldn't take otherwise." THREE YEARS AGO Tabor initiated one Interdisciplinary course a year required for students. The ID plan was to make students see relationships between various fields.
"They just didn't seem to be doing the job," she said, and may be voluntary rather than required in the future. There will be fewer required courses in general, Miss Reimer added.

They are scalpers who sell movie and theater tickets at exorbitant prices. They are disappearing, but those who remain haven't lost the gift for fading into thin air at the sight of a militiaman's blue uniform. The slippery youngsters are a pet hate of city fathers. "It's just a matter of time before we see the end of them," one movie house manager says. Warsaw has 62 movie theaters, more than ever before.
The only thing that keeps the koniki from completely disappearing is a popular film. Lately they have been doing a brisk trade with "Love Story" and Richard Burton's war movie "Where Eagles Dare." The latter is being shown in Warsaw's only Cinerama house. American westerns, too, are sure sellouts with Polish audiences. The koniki sidles warily up to a prospective customer near the entrance and offers him prime seats at double or triple the box office price. Many remedies were resorted to even setting special militia brigade, "But the koniki continued to prosper until more movie houses were built.
