This Is GVC A flyer published by the school describes Grand View College as a co-educational liberal arts college of the Lu- theran Church in America, founded in 1896. It further adds that the college offers two-year and three-year pro- grams in arts and sciences, and a four-year program in nur- sing. But it's more than that. It's a school where around 1,000 students-mostly from the Des Moines area-choose to continue their education. Grand View's popularity with students rests mainly in two areas: a quality education in smaller-sized classes and a more reasonable tuition than the university across the river. Grand View also offers its students a chance to explore a variety of classes during the January term. Or, instead of taking an extra class, students can enjoy an extended vaca- tion. That's when this book-part two of the Viking year- book-was put together. This is the second publication of the Viking staff. The previously published F all Directory, our first effort, can be inserted in the front of this book, A Spring Supplement will be mailed to students during the summer for insertion in the back of this book. This issue contains photos and stories on sports and or- ganizations at Grand View, as well as photos of new stu- dents and every-day happenings. The Viking staff: EDITOR-Scott Sailor.

Interim classes spark interest 430 students decided to give up part of their extended Christmas va- cation from school, and were enrolled in various classes during interim this January. Interim, more popularly referred to as January Term, began only five years ago in 1974. The program was designed to give students the oppor- tunity to participate in brief work- shops and special interest courses that correspond with his major field of study, or in an unrelated area of in- terest. Many of the courses offered dur- ing January Term are a response to areas of interest requested by students, or reflect a specific interest of the in- structor, and most are not ordinarily offered during the Fall or Spring se- mesters. Other standard courses are repeated to give students with sched- uling problems an opportunity to take the class. Students express emotions through art. .AL ixXN. Art Johnson draws intently. President Langrock commented January Term is coming along very well. When it started five years ago only about one hundred students were involved, and this year there were over four hundred. Apparently it is becoming more appealing to stu- dents, and they are picking up classes they missed earlier, or they are taking those classes they have had trouble scheduling.
