VIP course
provides
experience
The Division of Philosophy and
Religion is offering TWC students
the chance to take part in its
Vocational Internship Program
> VIP < during the spring and sum-
mer of 1974.
Students selected for this pro-
gram will be assigned to work
in churches _ or church-related
agencies in the Fort Worth area,
to gain experience in religious
work.
The VIP program also features
a tuition-matching provision. A
sponsoring church pays part of
its intern's salary to TWC, to be
applied to his tuition in the fall
of 1974. The college will match
that amount for tuition during
the spring semester of 191!

his work. However, the program,
sometimes offers other possibili-
ties such as camping, children's
ministry, community center work,
or urban ministry-.
To enroll in the Vocational
Internship Program, students are
required to take Religion 338,
Church Work with Children and
Youth f Tuesday 1-3:30 p.m.),

staff relationships and the theory
of Christiari' leadership.

Dr. Larry Wise-latest addition to psychology department
RAIS, to be offered in
spring, raises skills
The first semester of RAIS will
end, after post-testing, December
10 or 11. During the spring se-
mester, however, the course will
be offered again.
A student who wants to earoll
wdll have the option of paying
for the course and receiving no
credit. The spring schedule is 12
MWF and 11:00 TI\ At present
lab hours remain indefinite.
"The students who show the
most gain are the ones who are
motivated to improve their read-
ing," said Mrs. Mary Ann Thrash,
director. "They have diagnosed
what they need and have set
goals for themselves. Their learn-
ing depends wholly on their own *
participation."
The students are tested priv-
ately at the beginning to deter-
mine placement. The study is
mostly independent, every indi-
vidual moving at his own speed.
Each student has an activity
folder which records his progress.
in such areas as learning vocabu-
lary and reading for the main
idea.
Three general textbooks are
used that contain illustrated
short stories wdth multiple choice
questions. The students' reading
is timed wdth a stopwatch. They
record their time and answer the
questions. Other more special-
ized books are u%ed by different
students according to their par-
ticular need. Everything a stu-
dent does, he checks himself and
receives no grade—the program
is purely self-beneficial.
Other devices^ used include the
pacer, a small instrument wdth
a "window" under which an op-
ened light novel is placed. A
shield, controlled by a timer,
moves down each page at the
desired speed as one reads; this
prevents re-reading of phrases
A special projector is also used
that shows one line of print at
a time at any set speed.
The SP.A 'Science Research
The Mountain People
Associates i series concentrates
on reading for understanding in
all levels. Booklets which cover
four levels of difficulty present
short readings and sets of ques-
tions. Finally, lectures are pro-
vided on reading improvement,
study hints, preparing for exams,
and .being a critical reader.
Sociology class will
debate lost humanity
"In less than three generations,
they have deteriorated from a
group of prosperous and daring
hunters to scattered bands of
hostile people whose only goal
is survival, and who have learned
that" the price of survival is to
give up compassion, love, affec-
tion, kindness, and concern—even
for their own children."
The Mountain People, by Colin
Turnbull, wdll be the topic for a
debate by Mr. Earl Brown's So-
ciology 334 class. The book is the
result of three years study of
the anthropologist's work in Af-
rica.
Turnbull found that the Ik. a
tribe of unorganized people, were
on the survival level—every man
for himself, seeding their young
out or, their own at the age 6'f
three.
He concludes that the Ik have
lost their humanity and we are
moving in the same direction.
He draws various parallels r d
conclusions but believes that we
have a choice.
Whether or not the class dees
well on the debate is of .co im-
portance. according to Br:v. r.
What does matter :s that people
are made aware of the situation.
The debate will be at 10:50
a.m. in the Reed Lecture Theatre
The class invites all students,
staff and employees t: attend.
Members of the affirmative
team will be George Hays and
Ray Low. On the negative side
will be Horace Young and Bill
Davis.
All of the class read and re-
searched the book. Members of
the class include Merrily Andror.
Beverly Davis. Annmane Diaz,
Gwen Dubose. Presley Hatcher
and Douglas Sholars
Others include Steve Stevens,
Barbara Waskiewicz. Nar.ty Wat-
son and Lewis Wilkerson.
