geographic coordinates don't work

I would like to use geographic coordinates for my main window. My only 
layer is georeferenced DRG which uses the UTM projection.   It doesn't 
work.  If I change it and the extents to UTM it does.  How can I use 
geographic coordinates?  I have also noticed that my map file won't work 
with the layer status "on".  It has to be "default"
Here is most of my map file.:


MAP

 IMAGETYPE      png
 #EXTENT        578853 3857452.040  592267.160 3875770.440
  EXTENT        -86.125 34.875 -86 35  SIZE           1000 600
 SHAPEPATH      "/var/www/html/data/topo"
 SYMBOLSET      "tutorial/symbols/symbols35.sym"
 FONTSET        "tutorial/fonts/fonts.list"
