Marshall provides intellectual and vocational resources front which the student may gain a thorough knowledge of his own field and a broad understanding of other vocational fields. These resources include the modern well-stocked library, pro- fessors who are experts in their fields, and laboratories for applying scientific principles or business practices, as well as for doing research. With these resources a student can do research on a subject, strive to prove or disprove a contention, and ultimately apply his knowledge and reasoning to hi» work. On campus one sees this search for truth in dusty books dug from the recesses of the stacks, sketch pads, paint bobs and measuring tape. Off campus one sees the results of this search for truth.

COMMUNICATIONS WMCS radio broadcasting gives the communication student the practical experience of learning his subject matter under conditions approximating actual radio-TV production. Through the facilities of WMCS, Marshall ' s radio station, The Parthenon , and the Huntington newspapers, students in all fields of mass communications learn to handle the many problems that may arise when they go into the business world. At the studios of WMCS-FM, students gain experience by having actual broadcasts sponsoring news casts, drama, and panels prepared by the students themselves. Would-be reporters obtain much of their experience by working on The Parthenon. The campus serves as the training ground for the student re- porters who spend long hours in the laboratories preparing the pictorial and written records of the campus. Bringing the Associated Press news from all over the world, the teletype machine keeps students informed and is used in class room work in radio and news editing and copy editing classes.
