Digital Equipment Corp., an Atlanta-based

The exact value of the computer is unavailable,

Because of the male perspective in USC's curriculum,

women are now more active ana take more active
roles in society, so there is a need for more
education that includes the experiences of
women," Rosser said.
In psychology, most of the models of human

anthropologists are the authorities. ve
USC anthropology professor Ted Rathbun im
is studying how human remains can be analyz- pi
ed for identification purposes when other re
methods have failed.
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.

said.
"Women's studies is to educate both genders of
what else is out there," Dowd said.

in women's studies classes. "Men are

ithbun said.
These factors combined can help in the
rification process, but are not complete. An ^
creasingly popular technique, where apicable,
is a method called facial f ;?
construction. W
This process involves molding clay upon "

i identical casting that can be kept later for
rther analysis. Areas of specific depth can be |4ttj
rtermined by 32 points on the skull originally
:termined through cadaver studies.

it is possible to specify such ^ ~

"This is usually done simply to generate

Editor's note: This the third in a
series of stories The Gamecock is
running about AIDS and its effects
on USC and its students.
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.

he said. "They recognize

The program tries to make sure
students are aware of their rights. If
someone is arrested, he is obligated
to call the office. Counselors may
refer a student to a lawyer.
If a student is incarcerated, the
program tries to arrange class time
and see that his health is protected.
