The courses of- fered were to help develop further interests in many diverse areas. Some of the courses of- fered included: yoga, bartending, bowling, guitar, disco to belly dancing, hiking, quilting, and indoor plant care. Courses were taught by students, graduate students, and interested community members. The range of courses of- fered was only limited by not having people to teach. May Crenshaw was the coordinator of the short course program. A committee of 15 stu- dent members worked closely with class in- structors and monitored many of the courses. This system made possible a close exchange of ideas and information between class instructors and the coordinator. The committee kept the program tightly knit and responsive to the in- terests of most people involved. Various VTU branches worked together with the RHF and SGA to bring many speakers to the campus. Popular movies were presented each weekend by the VTU film committee. This same committee also presented a classic film every week. The VTU's success in bringing entertain- ing, interesting, and diverse activities to the students and community was once again demonstrated in its film programs, speaker selections, and short course programs.
