Rathbun is one of 39 forensic an- eil thronnlouists nationwide and the onlv one in ar I South Carolina certified to conduct such fu analyses for determining human dc identification. dt Human identification methods go back to the 19th century, although true forensic an- tc thropology began in 1968. Hut the need for fe similar forensic methods apparently existed th before this time, Rathbun said. b( 1^^ "The military, after World War II and the Korean Conflict, hired anthropologists to al identify the remains (of soldiers)," Rathbun said. si Determining the identity of previously missing individuals usually involves examining a le set of bones. This is why forensic an- pi thropology can be invaluable, because it can tv alleviate critical errors in proper identification e\ by other parties such as investigating police personnel, he said. c< Gender and verification are also crucial, st although gender can only be defined in adults. -J Children before puberty do not have a fully cl developed bone structure defining their sex, he h said. p ^ Even a trait as seemingly obscure as which side of the body was stronger can be of enor- h mous aid in establishing someone's identity. j Mk - - \ BBHRHi ARBHMHI n of Digital Corp. at a press conference at the comp a m A mon 10 nputer t can't define what this project is worth.

By JEFF SHREWSBURY Assistant news editor USC docs not release information about AIDS cases on campus and adheres to a policy of providing education and services to anyone who requests it, an administrator says. Dennis I'ruitt, vice president of student affairs, said there are no confirmed cases of AIDS at USC, but if there were, he has no obligation to confirm them. Pruitt says USC follows guidelines about dealing with AIDS that are contained in a statement issued by a United States task force and the American-College Health Association.
