Cornucopia. The word means an abun- dant supply, but an abundant supply of what? Here at Morehead State University, the Cornucopia Room is a cafeteria located in Lappin Hall, and run by the Home Economics department to give student workships a chance for practical ex- perience. It has an abundant supply of knowledgeable personnel, excellent food and, of course, practical experiences for student majors in the Home EC. Department. The Cornucopia Room serves faculty, staff, graduate assistants and visitors but is not a competitive entity of the other food services offered at the university. Mrs. Nancy Graham is the instructor of the program and has been for many years. '1 am a graduate of this program myself, she stated. ul received a Bachelor's Degree in Food Service and then did my graduate work at the University of Kentucky. I've been here since 1975. Students may get involved in the Cor- nucopia Room through federal workships which are awarded by the Office of Finan- cial Aid. HMany of our workships come back after they have completed their Cornucopia ornucopia? laboratory course to work more in the Cor- nucopia Room, Mrs. Graham commented. Helen Haddon, senior food service ad- ministration major from Plymouth, England, graduates in May and plans to ob- tain a working visa to stay and work in the 0.8. iiThe food in the Cornucopia Room is the best on campus and the staff is great to work with, stated Ms. Haddon. Ms. Had- don has worked in the cafeteria as a workship 2 years. Leroy Jackson, a senior electronics ma- jor from Detroit, is a three-year veteran to the cafeteria. Mr. Jackson plans to graduate in December and return home to work after graduation. The Cornucopia Room does not exist to serve the clientele, it exists to serve the students. Sometimes the clientele forgets this and expects too much out of students who arenit as experienced as other people in food service. But, overall, the cafeteria is a fantastic experience for the students to get their feet wet and for faculty and staff to experience the excellent quality of food here.

Industrial Ed 8 Technology Teaching Tomorrowls Technology Today Dr. Robert Newton, head of Industrial Education and Technology at Morehead State, sums up the theme his depart- ment works under in four words: iiTeaching tomorrow's technology today. That technology has taken shape in Morehead's robotics pro- gram, which Newton admits is his pet. lil think that the whole con- cept of robotics is what will be prevalent in the year 2000. Robotics combines all the concepts of each of our programs. MSU broke the groundwork in this field in 1982, becoming the only school in Kentucky and among the first 20 colleges in the country to commit to an extensive robotics program. Last spring, the university was granted approval for a four-year option in robotics engineering technology. Training in this program has included designing and building three stationary robots and one that moves around. Newton ex- plains that the goal uis not to invent a better robot, but to train students to go into industry and implement robots. -The depart- ment has done just that in assisting the Browning Manufacturing Corporation in installing and operating robotic equipment. Instruc- tors have also worked with a blue-collar worker re-training team to operate the new high-tech equipment. Newton says that he would like to up-grade all the programs under his department, but like most departments, limited resources are a problem. ROBOTICS is a strong program at MSU. Students learn to operate, assemble, and communicate with these i'mechanical friends in their classes. Industrial Ed. and Technology The drafting program took a step forward with the installatio of the CADD system tComputer Assistant Draft and Designl. ilAll of our programs are very solid. Obviously, we could alway use new resources, but we do everything we can with what w have, says Dr. Newton. HWhat America can do best is develo technology. We're the highest educated country in the world an we have a fantastic amount of people resources. BY TERES HlLL
