The study of the Universe, or astronomy, has for a long time been of interest to university students of almost any major. It is also a program that, if properly, allows the university system an opportunity to give students an introduction into the fields of physics as well as other sciences in a non-traditional way. While professional astronomers do not limit themselves solely to visual light as a means of investigating the universe, most introductory astronomy laboratories do. This short coming can be remedied easily through the use of radio astronomy. With a bit of modification to equipment designed for television or FM radio purposes, the existing university laboratories can be modified in an economical way to have ``hands-on" access for the students into the field of radio astronomy. In that many of the exotic discoveries about the universe have been made through radio astronomy in the last thirty years, it can be used as a tool in furthering the student's understanding of our universe,
