13- ,415 grand 'Mew , To many alumni, as well as Grand View students, the college activities are always in- teresting. The governing body of student activities is the UK Board. This council is com- posed of six students and three faculty members. They appoint committees for the plan- ning of dances, parties, and special events. There are several discussion groups on the campus. One of the popular groups is the Re- ligious Discussion Club. Its purpose is to discuss religious problems pertinent to the stu- dents. The Science Club, which meets each month, often tours industries of topical in- terest in the city. The International Relations Club brings well-known Des Moines speak- ers to its monthly meetings. Grand View sponsors a semi-monthly newspaper, Grand Views, which reports current school news, and the Viking, the college yearbook. The UK board elects the editor and business manager of both publications and approves the staff appointments. Each publication has a faculty adviser. The Studenterfest, or homecoming, is the social high light of the year. Occurring in May, the program includes folk dancing and gymnastic exhibitions, a concert by the choir, and a three-act play presented by the students. Many alumni, friends, and parents join the student body in this gay occasion. A dinner dance with a name band, given in one of the city's leading hotels, climaxes the three day celebration. One of the beautiful customs of Grand View College, as old as the school itself, em- phasizes the Christian Life. That tradition is the beginning and ending of each day with an informal worship period, which greatly enriches college life through the shar- irig of spiritual values. These fellowship meetings give a deeper and fuller meaning to 1 e. Grand View always has a basket ball team. which is able to g-ive a good account of itself.

The Board of Education The Board of Education of Grand View College and Grand View Semi- nary is elected at the church convention of the Danish Evangelical Luth- eran Church of America. The Board meets every month to discuss and determine policies for our college. This Board is responsible to the Synod- ical Convention for the continuing operation of the college, and it is, therefore, in part responsible for the rich pattern of life we enjoy at Grand View College. ..15-
