Hurd applied to several schools before choosing Morehead. liFor one thing, they offered me a chance to work on a dual emphasis on my Masters. The other reason was when I expressed interest through a friend who attends school here, within a week I received a phone call from Dr. Batra. That personal contact told me they were in- terested in me coming here. Hurd works in the Public Information Office writing press releases, feature stories, and doing a monthly calen- dar on campus events. HI like this work; its never boring. live learned so much working here. I thought I could write, but I couldn't. It is totally different from the form you learned in English Comp! Hurd said she has always wanted to write for a living. She does write fiction and has published a poem in INSCAPE. Someday I'd like to finish the book I'm working on and have it published. But that's an idealistic dream. I won't be devastated if my work is never made public. I write for me. By TERESA HILL j

Elliottville Business Prince? To most people, traveling to Rome, London, Paris, Berlin, and other metropolitan centers of the world is something that they only dream about. To Prince Dimkpa. a citizen of Nigeria, and currently a graduate stu- dent at Morehead State, it is a way of life. Dimkpa has travelled extensively, obtaining his BA. from a university in Rome, before choosing MSU to complete his graduate work. Dimkpa chose Morehead because of the strong com- munications program here. He is working in communica- tions and has written several articles on international con- cerns for the Trail-Biazer. One of Dimkpa's main involvements this semester has been getting the Cosmopolitan Club back on its feet. Dimpka is president of the organization for inter-cultural interaction. We want to interact with Americans so they can learn about our way of life and we can learn about them. Under his leadership, the Cosmopolitan Club has grown and received recognition from other foreign students at other state universities. If I could be remembered for one thing at Morehead, it would be as a strong advocate for the foreign students. I hope to make a difference. By TERESA HILL Graduates
