A second publication on campus is the student literary magazine, lnscape. Randy Moore, and MSU students involved with In- scape, say that to make students more aware of lnscape, he and another student appeared this on MSLl-TV to explain what lnscape is and how students, no matter what their field of study, can contribute to the magazine. Also, Randy says that ln- scape has advertised in the English classes with the support of the English depart- ment. uTeachers read memos to the students, though this wasn't as effective as we hoped because of the apparent lack of submissions. To show interest in the publication, Randy says that he would like people to support us by purchasing copies. Also, all submissions are welcome. A third student publication on campus is MSU's yearbook, the Raconteur. Saundra Stivers, Editor of the Raconteur, says that this year to gain more student awareness, memos concerning the Raconteur have been sent to every room on campus as well as to fraternities and sororities. This fall the Raconteur was also featured on MSU- TV to increase student knowledge and awareness of the yearbook and its purpose. Saundra explained that most of the feed- back from students is in the form of letters and phone calls. She says, Any letters or phone calls are welcome because they let us know how students feel. MSU's media has a variety of forms, but each is important to the student body at MSG. The campus media is an important link for students to what is happening elsewhere on campus. Support for the media is essential because the media's pur- pose is to serve the student. By BEVERLY WILLS.

LONG and tedious hours are spent in the cartography labs in Radar Hall as students like Bill Gregory, a senior geography major from Flemingsburg and Rodney Hall, a senior geologyigeography major from Pikeville demonstrate here in their deep con- centration. PHOTOS BY L. TACKETT Natural Arts and Sciences: Versatility Since September of 1984, Geography, History and Government have been combined under one department, Natural Arts and Sciences. The main objective of this department is simple, straight forward and what one would expect. T'We are here to teach, states Dr. Jackson, the department head. We train students for teaching positions; we give them background training for the legal profession, ministry, librarian work, journalism, political careers, and government offices, both civil and foreign. The undergraduate program of Geography allows students to choose classes according to special interests, while providing an i overall grasp of the field. Graduates have found successful and t rewarding careers ranging from teaching positions in the elemen- tary, secondary and university levels, to directing an oceanographic institute. The program also prepares students who wish to continue on with graduate work. The government program provides extensive background on the basic and intricate workings of the American court systems and political structure of the government. Courses are available to train students to fill paralegal positions aE well as prepare student who wish to obtain their law degree. Dr. Jackson points out that researching, writing, and publishing manuscripts, writing articles and journals, and reviewing them, are normal procedures for students and faculty in this department. He says even though on the surface the three programs may seem different, they are all interwoven. It does us no good to view them as three different disciplines, he says. iiWe must think of ourselves as one department working together for a common pur- pose. By TERESA HILL
