NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS COURTED WITH EVENING CLASSES by Steve Sullivan Iowa State is expanding its opportunities for non-traditional students by offering four evening classes during an eight- week session, Sept. 25-Nov. 17. Four upper division writing and history courses will be offered. The writing classes are business communication, taught by adjunct instructor Dixie Bjurstrom; and technical communication, taught by associate professor Doug Catron. The history courses are Latin American history, taught by assistant professor Wayne Osborn; and colonial America, taught by professor Clair Keller. Each course carries three credits, which can be applied toward most bachelor degree programs. "We are responding to the needs of non-traditional students with non-traditional packaging of these courses," said Ed Lewis, associate provost. "We are offering these courses in eight-week sessions, rather than the usual 16-week semester. We are providing a simple registration process, access to on- the-spot advising and other services tailored for non- traditional students." Each course will meet twice a week. Technical writing and Latin American history will be offered Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Business writing and Colonial American history will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The cost is $100 per course credit, plus $19 in student fees. All classes will be held in Ross Hall. People interested in the evening courses can register by calling 4-1889. (The writing classes require completion of freshman English.) Students will be mailed their course syllabus after they register. They also can have their books mailed to them. There will be an orientation session for the evening program on Saturday, Sept. 23. _____ contact: Steve Sullivan, News Service, (515) 294-3720 updated: 9-1-95
