Students receive a well- rounded view They make learning fun. eDarryl Grimes Business and Economics students receive a well-rounded view of the business world, according to Daryl Grimes, a businessireal estate major. The department has helped Darryl toward his major plans with real esj tate seminars and Classes like Real Estate Appraisal, Suzanne Stull, a senior finance major from Salt Lick, enjoys her Legal Environment of Business Organization class. Suzanne said, She tthe teacheri had her husband, an attorney, come in and hold a mock trial to give us an idea of the legal aspect of it. The Department of Business and Eco- nomics includes pro; grams in the areas of business, economics, real estates and fi- nance. Students have several clubs in these areas which can help to further their interest and knowledge of their particular field of study. There is the AC- counting Club, Phi Beta Lambda tbusinessi, and Rho Epsilon treai es- tatei. Students receive ex- celient preparation for entering the world of business. Classes cover almost every aspect of business and students get the background they need to succeed. At the same time the instructors also make it realistic and practical for the students. Darryl Grimes said, TTThey make learning fun? The department has good teachers and a well-rounded curricu- lum, just what students need to get ahead after graduation.

Encouragement produces positive futures Here, I'm encouraged to do what I want to do -Brian Tuttle The Health and Physical Education De- partment encourages students to learn their occupation by getting involved and work- ing before they graduate. Alice Burk, a senior Health major with an emphasis in Athletic Training, transferred to MSU from Lees Junior College. Burk, a na- tive of Warsaw, said she chose this school because of her interest in athletic training. lll was fairly familiar with the school because I have two older sisters who graduated from MSU and one of them majored in Health and Physical Education. lll like going to Morehead because the classes are small and you get to know ev- eryone. I've gotten to work with the foot- ball and basketball teams in the training room and it is a great experience to work with athletes at the college levelK' Alice said working in the training room is gratifying because she actually gets to see the final results of her efforts. lllt's really good to see someone go through the reha- bilitation and then get back on the field or 60 HPER court and have a great game after having to sit out for 2 or 3 weeks. llm glad the depart- ment gave me the chance to be sure this is what I want to do after graduation. Brian Tuttle, a senior from Butler, KY, is majoring in Physical Education and is cur- rently doing his student teaching. He al- ready has a job as a substitute at Cambell Co. High School and credits part of his suc- cess to the training he received through the department. llThis department does an excellent job in the actual learning of how to teach pys- cho-motor skills. Brian also enjoyed the encouragement he was given by various department pro- fessors. uI transferred from Northern be- cause they were very negative toward stu- dents interested in Phys. Ed. due to the satu- ration of those majors in the job market. Here, I found I was encouraged to do what I wanted to do. ltDr. Sabie helped me in formulating my own philosophy in physical education and Dr. Bentley, the department head, is great because he relates so well to students. They can tell he's sincere. SAFETYAND FIRSTAID are taken for granted by lots of people, before they take the class and learn what it's all about.

Alice agreed with Brian that the profes- sors are encouraging and helpful to stu- dents. lll hate to point out a few, because they are all so good, but certainly Dr. Bent- ley and Dr. Chaney deserve mention for the jobs they are doing. Both Alice and Brian are seniors who have first-hand experience in how the Health and Physical Education Department works. Both agree they would recommend the department and its professors for the importance they have played in setting the scene for their future careers. BY TERESA HlLL ?
