In the Physics department of New Mexico TECH the astrophysics majors are ex- posed to the intricacies of the physics and math needed to understand the na- ture of stars and their evolution. But as in most other endeavors, a picture is worth 10,000 words. The pictures needed are the wide range of stellar spectra that can be obtained with a lowresolution spectrograph. This paper will show the results of two years worth of stellar spectra obtained by un- dergraduate students in an astronomy laboratory class as they attempted to make order out of the complexity. The equipment used was a Celestron C-14 telescope, SBIG ST-8e CCD, and the SBIG Spectrograph. Stars of all spectral types and magnitudes < 6th were imaged and compared to the MK standards.
