First National Center to Be Fully Operational

Production Supercomputer Facility Here Opens TodayOne of the world's most powerful comput-

ers — at the first national supercomputercenter to be fully operational —- will be un-veiled publicly at Cornell today.

The Production Supercomputer Facility,composed of one of IBM's most advancedmainframe computers and four smallerFloating Point Systems computers, is thefirst portion of Cornell's Center for Theoryand Simulation in Science and Engineering'o go into operation, according to LindaMorris, manager of program support at thecenter.

Attending the 4 p.m. opening ceremoniesof the supercomputer's permanent home, aroom the size of a basketball court in Coms-'ock Hall, will be Nobel Laureate Kenneth° . Wilson, director of the Theory Center,Cornell Provost .Robert Baker, and Kenneth

M. King, vice provost for computing. Theywill be joined by Jack D. Kuehler, senior vicepresident and group executive of IBM, andLloyd Turner, chief executive officer ofFloating Point Systems.

Also on hand will be Lawrence Lee, pro-gram director for supercomputer centers atthe National Science Foundation, and H.Graham Jones, director of the New YorkState Science and Technology Foundation.

Last February, Cornell was named one offour national advanced scientific computingcenters by the NSF. Each center will containa supercomputer capable of performing atleast a hundred million arithmetic operationsper second. Cornell's is the first of the fourcenters to begin operating after the NSFawards, Morris said. The Cornell facility ac-tually went on line at 7:30 a.m. Thursday,

Oct. 24.The definition of a supercomputer

changes as each new generation makes oldermodels obsolete. At Cornell, for example,researchers will be working with a new ma-chine that will be a thousand times morepowerful than present supercomputers. Inaddition, Theory Center staff will be devel-oping software for its supercomputer.

Because of the extreme dependence ofmany scientific fields on massive computingpower, universities with supercomputers areexpected to expand on their leadership rolesas centers of research.

At Cornell's Theory Center, research hasalready been conducted using an interim su-percomputer on varied topics such as the for-mation of black holes in outer space, pat-terns of forest growth, and quantum

chromodynamics — the theory currently be-lieved to govern the structure and interac-tions of protons, neutrons, and relatedshort-lived particles.

In addition to NSF funding of $21.9 mil-lion, Cornell's Theory Center is receivingmore than $30 million in equipment andservices from IBM and New York State.Support from several other corporations isbeing negotiated through the center's re-search institute, Morris explained. Over thenext three years at Cornell, more than $60million will be committed to supercomputingresearch, she added.

The other supercomputing centers are theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,a consortium based at the John Von NeumanCenter in Princeton, NJ, and a consortiumbased in San Diego, CA.

Research Animal Resource CenterAssures Proper Animal Treatment

By ROGER SEGELKENThe humane treatment of all animals used

in research and teaching at Cornell is the re-sponsibility of the Center for Research Ani-mal Resources.

The center, headquartered in the StateCollege of Veterinary Medicine, is responsi-ble for all animals owned by the university.Its purview extends from an Ithaca wood-chuck colony where hepatitis is studied tomarine laboratories at Woods Hole, Mass.,and from the psychology department's ca-naries to rabbits at the New York State Agri-cultural Experiment Station at Geneva.

Approximately 44,000 animals are used inCornell's Ithaca facilities and 7,000 animalsat the New York Hospital-Cornell UniversityMedical Center in New York City.

About 92 percent of the 7,000 animalshoused daily at the medical college are miceand rats. Animals are studied in two NewYork State colleges at Cornell — VeterinaryMedicine and Agriculture and Life Sciences— and the nutritional sciences and biologicalsciences divisions.

'The center works with all individualswho use animals, to make sure the animalsa r e maintained well and that research is con-°^cted in a humane manner," says Dr. Fredw ; Quimby, director of the center.

'We make certain that pain and stress arem'nimized at every step during research thatUses animals."

.he center's second priority is to protectthe interests of Cornell, which is no small re-Ponsibility. A violation of government reg-

ulations could result in the loss of certifica-•°n to use animals in research.

. Quimby, a veterinarian with certification

.n laboratory animal medicine and a Ph.D."Pathology, is one of two veterinarians innarge of the research animal center in Itha-

ca. The other, Dr. Lloyd A. Dillingham, isalso a specialist in laboratory animal medi-cine.

The specific interests of the two veterinar-ians complement each other, providing animportant balance. In addition to his admin-istrative responsibilities, Quimby's researchinvolves development of animal models fordiseases afflicting humans. Dillingham's re-sponsibility is the clinical care of animalsthat are used in research and teaching; hedoes not conduct experiments with animals.

"The balance of interests represented bythe center's staff as well as by members ofthe university's animal welfare committee isimportant in assuring that proper use andcare policies are formulated and followed,"says Joseph M. Ballantyne, vice presidentfor research and advanced studies.

The center is funded through Ballantyne'soffice to assure that proper care of laborato-ry animals is not limited by researchers' bud-gets.

Concern for the welfare of animals beginsbefore they arrive in the laboratory. The cen-ter offers training to all new employees whowill be working with animals, including prin-cipal investigators (the lead scientists), allother research personnel, and animal techni-cians.

Two courses a year are offered to facultymembers, three a year to veterinary students,and one to new animal technicians. Coursetopics range from proper nutrition for ger-bils to the ethics of using animals in biomedi-cal research. The center also coordinates theoccupational health program for all animalhandlers, with concern for the health of hu-mans and animals.

In addition, design and alterations of ani-mal housing and research facilities are re-

Researchers Run Maze of Regulations In Use of Laboratory AnimalsBy ROGERSEGELKEN

On this campus and elsewhere, researchi experiments involving animals are underearly constant supervision from a multituderegulatory agencies, committees, and in-

spectors.While alternatives to using animals are in-

(/easing, Cornell researchers who must use^ve animals in their studies face strigent re-•ew of their proposals and experiments by

«Overnment agencies and the university it-

"Review at multiple levels, while addingto the burden of the investigators and all in-dividuals involved in the review, is a nec-essary and proper device to assure that theuse of animals is in the best interests of allconcerned," says W. Bruce Currie, associateprofessor of animal science at Cornell andchairman of the university's InstitutionalAnimal Care and Use Committee.

"We are all obliged to systematically con-sider a variety of aspects of our work, toconsider alternatives to using animals, and to

rationalize the balance of benefits from aproposed study against the costs," Currieadds.

The maze of review and regulations beginswhen researchers seek support from a fund-ing agency, such as the National Institutes ofHealth, the National Science Foundation,other federal and state agencies, or privateorganizations such as the American CancerSociety.

Proposals for animal research fundingfrom Cornell researchers trigger an automat-

ic review by the university's Institutional An-imal Care and Use Committee. The six-mem-ber review panel consists of faculty membersand administrators — including scientistswho do not conduct animal studies and non-scientists — who ask the researchers to de-scribe the "potential contributions (the stud-ies) ... may have on the broad disciplines ofbiology and medicine."

Researchers must provide the committeewith a detailed description of how the ani-

Kim Named 'Communicator'Yong H. Kim, manager of the News and

Feature Service here, has been named the"Farm Communicator of the Year" for1985, the top award given by the NortheastFarm Communicators Association. NFCA isa professional organization of writers, edi-tors, broadcasters, and others involved in re-porting agricultural news.

Susan S. Lang, a science writer, also in theNews and Feature Service, won an award for"outstanding news reporting in the field ofagriculture." Her winning entry was cited asthe "best story promoting Northeast agricul-ture."

In addition to the NFCA's top honor, Kimreceived an award for an article in the "bestgeneral farm story" category. His entry was

cited as best among 20 judged in this year'scommunication competition sponsored bythe NFCA, which has members throughoutthe Northeast.

Kim's winning article describes Cornell'slong-term study of biosynthetic bovinegrowth hormone which, when injected intomilking cows, increases their milk yields dra-matically — a breakthrough expected tohave a worldwide impact on dairying.

Lang's article explains a new biotechnolo-gy process capable of boosting yields and thenutritional value of cheese dramatically,based on research conducted at Cornell. Theprocess, called "ultrafiltration," is seen asone of the best examples of biotechnology inaction.

'Neglected Stock' Theory Holds Up Strongly in QuarterBy MARTIN B. STILES

Supporting the "neglected stock theory"proclaimed by Cornell University financeprofessor Avner Arbel, the stock market'stop 10 gainers during the third quarter of1985 were companies ignored by big inves-tors.

The number one gainer between July 1 andSept. 30 was International Remote ImagingSystems; its stock increased 150 percent invalue. Only nine of the nation's leading fi-nancial institutions held stock in the firm,compared to the some 1,700 that held IBMstock, a typical non-neglected stock, accord-ing to Arbel, a professor in Cornell's Schoolof Hotel Administration.

Five percent of the total number of leadinginvestors who hold stock in IBM is the bench•nark Arbel uses to define what he calls a ne-glected stock. These are unpopular stocksthat he says consistently beat the stock mar-ket averages by at least double, and oftenmore.

Currently, Arbel's bench mark is 85 insti-tutional holdings. Nine of the 10 top gainerson the stock market during the third quarterwere held by no more than nine of the lead-ing investors.

Arbel's research reveals that over the past'0 years, regardless of the time span sur-veyed — day, week, quarter, or full year —neglected stocks always dominate the gainerslist. They account for at least 80 percent ofthe list.__ His years of research also reveal that the

Council on EducationElects Rhodes

President Frank Rhodes was elected Tues-day as vice-chairman and chairman-elect ofthe American Council on Education. Thecouncil is the nation's principal, indepen-dent, non-profit, coordinating body for all°f higher education. It has more than 1,400niember institutions, including national andregional educational associations, collegesand universities.

Its membership includes proprietary two-year and four-year colleges, as well as col-leges of liberal arts and major research uni-versities. It is the over-arching and coordi-nating council among all the associations ofhigher education and its member collegesand universities.

only common denominator among the"stock market winners" is that they are ne-glected stocks.

Arbel argues the neglected stock theory inhis book, "How to Beat the Market withHigh-Performace Generic Stocks," pub-lished last June by William Morrow & Com-pany, Inc. The book, which has been widelyacclaimed in the financial press, is scheduled

to come out in the paperback in June 1986.The Cornell professor says the top 10 gain-

ers for the third quarter no longer can beconsidered neglected stocks, now that theyhave been discovered and identified extensi-vely in the financial press.

So, it's back to the drawing board for in-vestors interested in applying the neglectedstock theory, he says.

Arbel has no fear that the market will runout of neglected stocks, no matter how wide-ly the theory is accepted and applied.

With the ebb and flow of business for-tunes and the constant introduction of newbusiness ventures to the market, Arbel saysthere always will be the possibility of a 1940vintage IBM stock hidden in the numericalmaze the market presents daily to investors.

Alcohol:MakingPeopleAware

As part of an effort to increase awareness about the dangers of alcohol abuse and to promote responsible drink-ing, several organizations distributed samples of alcohol-free beer and alcohol-free wine in the Willard StraightHall lobby last Friday, during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. The samples, and educationalmaterials about alcohol, were provided by the Straight Scoop ice cream parlor; Alcohol Education, Research,and Training (ALERT); and University Health Services.

Program on Reason, Social Values and Policy to Be Started HereCornell is establishing a new program that

focuses on problems of social responsibilityand conscience.

The Program on Reason, Social Values,and Policy will emphasize problems faced byCornell graduates but that are rarely includ-ed in their specialized and professional train-lng, according to Walter Lynn, director ofCornell's Program on Science, Technology,and Society.

Lynn chairs the RSVP search committee,which is seeking two full-time faculty mem-bers, one of whom will direct the programscheduled to begin as early as the summer of

"The program will emphasize the devel-opment of faculty competence, resources,and confidence in dealing with moral andpolicy issues that arise within their ownfields, so that a systematic and rational ap-proach to such issues can be integrated intotheir courses," Lynn explained.

Among the activities being considered forthe RSVP program are faculty developmentseminars on basic issues in ethical theory andnormative problems that cut across variousdisciplines and professions; and the collabo-rative development of course modules, orunits for existing courses, to illustrate andsystematically explore problems of ethics

and public life to illustrate systematic, ratio-nal approaches to concrete problems in pub-lic and professional affairs.

One senior faculty member, who will serveas director of the program, and one juniorfaculty member are being sought from thefields of social philosophy, political theory,public policy, or formal theory. The facultywill have appointments in either the govern-ment or philosophy departments in the Col-lege of Arts and Sciences and the STS pro-gram.

The RSVP director will be responsible forthe summer faculty development seminars,course development, and supervision of the

search for the junior RSVP staff memberwho will share in the other program respon-sibilities.

An advisory committee of cooperatingfaculty from various fields will aid the pro-gram staff.

Applications and nominations for the pro-gram are now being sought and should besent to Lynn at 632 Clark Hall. Applications(including a curriculum vitae, a sample ofwritten work, and a list of references) re-ceived by Jan. 15 will be given preference.

facts, thus it is logical to call on computers tohelp handle the immense burden of data,Pollock says.

"Medical knowledge is of no use unless itis readily accessible to clinicians at the timeand place it is needed. The search for bettermethods to store, retrieve, and deliver medi-cal information may well become as impor-tant as the new knowledge itself," he ex-plains.

The center will concentrate first on thetheoretical and practical aspects of medicalinformation science and the needs and prob-lems associated with creating large scale net-works. Cornell's veterinary medicine collegehas an excellent head start; it's alreadyknown as the leader in computer-based re-cords systems for veterinary teaching hospi-tals. Then too, Cornell's Department ofComputer Science is widely respected. Fourother veterinary colleges have alreadyadopted the hospital records system devel-oped by Cornell's vet college. The center, thefirst of its kind in veterinary medicine, in-tends to build on these strengths to establishCornell as an internationally recognizedleader in this new and important field.

Pollock hopes the center will help fostercollaboration among faculty throughout thecampus who are interested in the problemsof information transfer, storage, and retriev-al, and that the results of the research will beof direct practical benefit to veterinarians.

Pollock has already attracted considerableattention in the veterinary community withhis experimental program, "PROVIDES,"which attempted not only to provide up-to-date information on current tests, treat-ments, and prognoses, but also to assist clini-cians in formulating differential diagnosesfor selected problems in canine internal med-icine. He was a keynote speaker earlier thismonth at a symposium on computer applica-tions in veterinary medicine at Texas A & MUniversity.

Pollock, who holds both the D.V.M. andPh.D. degrees from Cornell, served as an as-sistant dean for curriculum at the veterinarycollege from 1981 to 1985.

"It was in that capacity that I came to re-alize that many of the problems in medicaleducation resulted from exponentially ex-panding date bases and that these could notbe resolved by traditional methods of in-struction and information transfer," he said.

New Severe Virus BewitchesPumpkins and Other Cucurbits

An aphid-transmitted plant virus that at-tacks everything from Halloween pumpkinsto cucumbers is reaching epidemic propor-tions in this country, according to a plant sci-entist here.

"It's really developing into quite an epide-mic," said Thomas Zitter, an associate pro-fessor of plant pathology in the New YorkState College of Agriculture and Life Sci-ences at Cornell. "It's the greatest threat tocucurbits that we know."

The disease, known as "zucchini yellowmosaic virus," affects all cucurbits, a generaof vegetable crops that includes pumpkins,cucumbers, squash, and melons.

According to Zitter, the disease is spread-ing rapidly and stands to threaten the outputof cucurbits in several states.

Plants infected with the virus show symp-toms such as mottled leaves and bumpy, dis-figured, and discolored fruits. Infectedpumpkins, for example, lose their symmet-rical shape to a series of bumps that coverthe otherwise smooth surface. The infectedfruits are safe to eat, but their appearancewill make them less marketable.

"Most growers are afraid to put them ontheir roadside stands," Zitter said.

The virus is doubly damaging because itnot only disfigures the fruits, but it reducesthe yield of the crop. In extreme cases, it caneliminate an entire crop. Recently, Zitter wit-nessed a case where the disease ruined 90 per-cent of the pumpkin crop on a New Yorkfarm.

Scientists first identified the disease innorthern Italy in 1981; later that same year,it was discovered in southern France. Today,zucchini yellow mosaic virus has been foundin several European countries, as well as theUnited States, Morocco, Lebanon, Israel,

Egypt and Guadeloupe.Scientists are not sure how the disease is

transmitted over long distances, but theyknow how it is transmitted from plant toplant: aphids, which are also known as plantlice.

A major breakthrough in the search for asolution to the zucchini yellow mosaic virusproblem came this year, when Rosario Prov-videnti, a professor of plant pathology at theState Agricultural Experiment Station at Ge-neva, identified virus-resistant traits in cu-curbits from China and Nigeria.

Through a system of crossbreeding, HenryM. Munger, professor emeritus of plantbreeding in the State College of Agricultureand Life Sciences at Cornell, and RichardW. Robinson, professor of horticultural sci-ences at the Geneva experiment station,along with Provvidenti, are working on waysto add those resistant traits to domestic cu-curbits, Zitter says.

"Eventually, they plan to come up with re-sistant varieties that have the same horticul-tural characteristics as currently grown cu-curbits," Zitter said.

Continued from Page 1viewed by the center, which regularly in-spects all facilities that house researchanimals.

Besides the clinical or veterinary medicalcare, the center provides other services asneeded, including surgery, anesthesia, exper-tise in animal nutrition and husbandry, pain-relieving drugs, and specialized equipment.

"If a cat were to develop a skin abscess,we would drain the abscess, culture the abs-cess fluid to determine the cause of the infec-tion, and give the appropriate antibiotic,"Quimby says. "Actually, even a rat with thatcondition would be similarly treated,"Quimby adds.

The center's two full-time veterinariansare assisted by 11 others with a range of spe-cialties. The center can draw on the expertiseof some 120 doctors of veterinary medicineon the Cornell campus. The New York StateCollege of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell,one of the most highly regarded in the world,even has a specialist in marine veterinarymedicine — with a special interest in diseasesof clams, for example.

Also on the center's staff are animalhealth technicians, consultants, and an ani-mal care manager whose responsibility in-cludes the husbandry of laboratory animals.Another seven veterinarians are on the staffsof New York Hospital-Cornell UniversityMedical Center and Memorial Sloan-Ketter-ing Cancer Center.

Specialized Cornell facilities used by theCenter for Research Animal Resources in-clude the New York State Diagnostic Labo-ratory and the Department of Pathology, theDepartment of Avian and Aquatic Medicine,and the diagnostic laboratory of the CornellUniversity-Rockefeller University consorti-um.

Persons who believe an animal at Cornellhas been mistreated have several avenues ofrecourse, including making reports to thecenter.

Over the last five years, the center has re-ceived about a half-dozen inquiries, whichwere resolved, according to center directorQuimby.

One valid report was traced to insufficienttraining of a technician. Another, a report ofchickens being improperly anesthetized,turned out to be a misunderstanding when itwas determined that the procedure was incompliance with NIH guidelines.

Inquiries referred to the center can usuallybe resolved by consultation with the experi-ment's principal investigator, according toQuimby.

Reports of possible mistreatment also canbe made to the Institutional Animal Care

and Use Committee, which reviews all ani-mal research proposals and experiments atCornell; the university's vice president forresearch and advanced studies; or the agencyfunding the research.

Reports of animal abuse in federallyfunded research can also be made to the Of-fice for Protection from Research Risks,Building 31, National Institutes of Health,Bethesda, Md., 2020S. That office also can bereached by calling (301) 496-7005.

RegulationsContinued from Page 1

mals will be used and a justification of em-ploying animals, rather than using alterna-tive models or simulations. The need for thenumber of animals involved, as well as anypain or distress the animals may experience,must be explained also.

Of the 668 animal-use proposalsreviewed since the Cornell program wasinstituted more than two years ago in re-sponse to New York State regulations, only acouple have posed significant concerns abouttheir appropriateness, according to commit-tee chairman Currie.

The real merit of the review system, Curriesays, "is the objectivity of the reviewers whoare attempting to arrive at a position thatcould reasonably be taken by the public atlarge. The involvement of non-researchers inthis process is of enormous value to the re-view process."

At present, such a review by the host insti-tution must be under way before the Nation-al Institutes of Health — the largest providerof funding for animal-related research atCornell — will begin processing an applica-tion. After Jan. 1, 1986, new federal proce-dures will require that the review be com-pleted at the host institution before the NIHwill even consider a proposal for use of livinganimals.

All institutions applying for funding fromany agency within the federal Public HealthService must first file an assurance statementthat describes the institution's program foranimal care. This assurance statement is re-viewed at the NIH and, if found acceptable,is kept on file for reference in all future ap-plications for funds.

Requests to NIH for large amounts offunding (generally those over $100,000)prompt a site visit by scientific peers who de-termine whether the institution can provideproper facilities and personnel for the study.Such costly site visits may not be justified forsmaller grant proposals. Site visitors checkon-going research of a similar nature, notingany non-compliance with NIH guidelines.

Continuing through the regulatory maze,the research proposal next encounters an ini-tial NIH review group whose members haveexpertise in the specific field — arthritis, forexample — that is the focus of the research

proposal. This review group can call in spe-cial consultants to help it examine the propo-sal to determine if the animals are subject tothe least-possible stress and if the proposalmight contribute significantly to the under-standing or cure of a medical problem. Thegroup can halt any proposal that includes in-humane research methods.

Next, the application goes to an NIH advi-sory council for the particular scientific dis-cipline. Made up of scientists and non-scien-tists (including Ann Landers and MaureenReagan), the national advisory councils notonly rule on the justification for the use ofanimals but also decide whether the problemis worth funding at all. An unfavorable re-view by the advisory council can mean theend of a proposal.

If the proposal is funded, the research isassigned to a program director who followsthe grant from start to completion. Recipi-ents of NIH grants must submit periodic re-ports to the program director outlining theirprocedures and results, and any deviationsfrom their plans. The NIH can, at any time,withdraw funds if it finds abuse of animalsor major deviations from the experiment'splans.

Also, surprise inspections of facilities areconducted by the U .S. Department of Agri-culture and the New York State Departmentof Health, enforcing federal animal welfarelaws and state health laws, respectively. Vio-lations of those laws carry criminal penaltiesand can halt the research.

Deficiencies found by federal authoritiesin recent years at Cornell were not seriousenough to warrant prosecution and werereadily corrected, according to Dr. Fred W.Quimby, director of the university's Centerfor Research Animal Resources. They haveincluded such things as cobwebs in hallways,improper lids on food containers, and cracksin floors.

Federal inspectors have found no in-stances where the physical well-being of theanimals has been jeopardized in the fiveyears Quimby has directed the center, and noanimal studies have been halted. As of themost recent USDA inspection (September1985), Cornell had no unresolved deficien-cies.

Funding agencies such as NIH also make

unannounced inspections, and other agen-cies, such as the Food and Drug Administra-tion and the Atomic Energy Commission, re-quire adherence to rules that are specific fortheir own lines of research. These rules rangefrom development of Pharmaceuticals forhuman consumption to procedures for usingradioactive materials.

State law gives local chapters of the Socie-ty for The Prevention of Cruelty to Animalspower to investigate and seize any animalsthey find receiving cruel treatment.

The most rigorous reviews of all are madeby the American Association for the Accred-itation of Laboratory Animal-Care, whichhas approved facilities of Cornell's veteri-nary and medical colleges. Improvements be-ing made with a grant from the National In-stitutes of Health are expected to gainCornell full accreditation for all animal fa-cilities, Quimby says.

In the past two years, three major fundingagencies — NIH, USDA and FDA — havebegun sharing information on suspected andproven abuse of laboratory animals. Thatcoordinated step is intended to prevent a re-searcher with a record of animal abuse fromseeking funding at a different agency.

Cornell performs its own oversight of ani-mal studies by its researchers:

— All animals used for research are ob-served at least once a day by a person qual-ified to assess their well-being.

— All Cornell facilities where animals arehoused or used are inspected frequently(usually once a week or more often) by theuniversity's Center for Research Animal Re-sources, which is responsible for assuring thehumane treatment of animals used in studiesat Cornell.

— Each year, researchersmust file annualreports to the Center for Research AnimalResources, detailing their activities for thepast 12 months and outlining their plans forthe next 12. Any deviation between contem-plated use and actual use is investigated bythe center.

Finally, experiments that continue formore than the initial funding period (one tofive years) require a proposal for renewal,and the review process — involving govern-ment and funding agencies, and the universi-ty — begins again.

Women May Be the BestManagers in the Workplace

By JEANNE MACKINDo women make better workplace man-

agers than men do?"There are arguments on both sides, but

the answer leans toward the affirmative,"said Marylee Bomboy, an extension asso-ciate in the New York State School of Indus-trial and Labor Relations here.

"Women, in general, are more concernedwith human relations and human interactionthan men are," she said. "They are likely tobe more interested in personal problems andmore concerned with creating a happy workenvironment."

As managers, women tend to be moresympathetic and more accessible to theworkers they supervise. They are more likelyto have an "open door" policy and circulateamong their workers. Male managers, on theother hand, tend to be task and goaloriented; women managers tend to be morePeople-oriented.

"Most employees benefit from having aboss who is easily available to help withWork-related as well as personal problems,who is sympathetic, and who cares aboutthem and their families," Bomboy said.

That's well and fine, some people maysay. But does having a manager and supervi-sor who can nature employees make the em-Ployees more productive?

"I think so," Bomboy said. "The work ofmanagers and supervisors is, after all, not toProduce actual work themselves but to helpother employees produce that work."

The primary job of the supervisor is to ac-complish work through the effective use ofPeople — the human resources of the organi-zation.

Bomboy said that since women are consid-ered good at working with people — to bewilling to help and nurture and be accessible-"" these traits may well result in higher pro-ductivity.

Bomboy surveyed 140 clerical workers inNew York City to determine their preference

for a male or female supervisor, and howthey felt about those supervisors. Her surveyshowed that female supervisors were morelikely to be rated as "democratic" (64 per-cent versus 54 percent) and slightly less likelyto be considered as authoritarian (25 percentversus 32 percent) than male supervisors.

Other research shows that female manage-rs are more likely to approach problem-solv-ing by considering the whole problem interms of a complicated web of people andrelationships. Male managers are more likelyto approach a problem in terms of rules andregulations.

But a woman manager's tendency to con-sider people along with other resources suchas time and capital is often based on morethan her nuturing instincts.

"Many women have a better feel for theirsubordinate's job requirements and respon-sibilities," Bomboy said. "The key reasonfor this is that they are more likely to havecome up through the ranks and have donethe job themselves at onetime."

In Bomboy's survey, 80 percent of the fe-male supervisors had come up through theranks, while only 64 percent of the men had.

"Familiarity with the work of one's subor-dinates is clearly an advantage," she said."The supervisor understands what needs tobe done, how it should be done, and the timerequired to do it, and often has a network ofcontacts within the department which is use-ful in problem-solving," Bomboy said.

"All of the cooking, heating, and combus-tion for energy in China is obtained by burn-ing coal, and there are no pollution controlsof any consequence in that country," saidWeinstein, who began studies of the Chineseair pollution problem in a visit two yearsago.

"China is industrializing as fast as possi-ble, and powering everything with coal. Theyhave provincial and national environmentalprotection agencies, but they don't seem tohave laws to enforce or even standards to vi-olate. They are desperately in need of tech-nology."

China is at least 25 years behind the Unit-ed States in understanding air pollution's ef-fects, Weinstein estimated. Although thecountry has few private automobiles, there isan increasing use of internal combustion en-gines and the pollution problem can only be-come worse, he said.

Five of the 15 American scientists are fromthe Boyce Thompson Institute, an indepen-dent laboratory at Cornell and the center forthis country's largest working group study-ing the effects of air pollution. In addition toWeinstein, Boyce Thompson is sending plantphysiologists Jay S. Jacobson and Robert G.Amundson, plant pathologist Robert J. Ko-hut, and environmental biologist Richard H.Mandl.

Also participating in the technology trans-fer mission will be three ecologists who pi-oneered studies of forest decline in the north-eastern U.S. The three — Gene E. Likens ofthe Institute of Ecosystem Studies at theCary Arboretum and adjunct professor ofecology at Cornell, F. Herbert Bormann ofYale University, and James N. Galloway, aformer Cornell faculty member now at theUniversity of Virginia — helped bring theproblem of acid rain to the attention of theAmerican scientific community, the public,and the government.

Other scientists participating in the seriesof workshops and lectures being held in seve-ral Chinese provinces come from the U.S.Forest Service, the Electric Power ResearchInstitute, the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture, the State University of New York at Al-bany, the University of Virginia, Californi-a's Statewide Air Pollution Research Centerand Rutgers University.

As a result of Weinstein's earlier visit toChina, two Chinese scientists are conductingstudies at Boyce Thompson Institute in Itha-ca.

Research Here Shows CostsFor High way Repair Can Be Cut

The high cost of rebuilding highways canbe significantly reduced and the life of newroads increased by a technology being pro-moted at Cornell.

Known as "road base recycling," the con-struction method uses materials from an oldroad in the new road that replaces it.

"The advantages of this technology areimpressive," said Lynne H. Irwin, directorof the Cornell University Local Roads Pro-gram and an associate professor of agricultu-ral engineering in the State College of Agri-culture and Life Sciences.

"By using this method, you can rebuild upto four miles of a road for the price of onemile of conventional road construction," hesaid.

Base recycling involves reusing the "basecourse" of a road. The base course is the lay-er between the blacktop or concrete on thesurface of the road and the natural ground-beneath.

The key to the cost savings is that roadbase recycling technology actually strength-ens the base of the worn-out road, while sig-nificantly reducing the amount of newmaterials needed for reconstruction.

Irwin said that the recycling technologyhas been around for many years, but itswidespread use by highway crews is limited.

For the past decade, however, Irwin andhis colleagues at Cornell have been fine-tun-ing the base recycling technology.

Irwin said he is confident that base recy-cling will become increasingly popular asmore highway officials learn of its advan-tages.

If the recycling method is used properly,he said, the new road will be stronger than

the original road, will last longer, and willuse less materials. As a result, the cost of thenew road will be less, and the dwindling re-sources for road construction will not beused up as fast.

Typical road bases are made up of com-pacted stone and gravel. Through the normalperiod of a road's life, the base course be-neath the blacktop deteriorates from theweight of heavy trucks, from frost heaving,and from normal wear. Once the base dete-riorates, it can no longer support the vehicleweight, and the road must be torn up andrebuilt, Irwin says.

When conventional construction methodsare used, a road is rebuilt with all newmaterials, literally from the ground up. Theold road materials are dug up and discarded.

When the base recycling method is used,however, the base and even parts of the topcourse of blacktop or concrete are incorpo-rated into the new road.

The first step in base recycling reconstruc-tion is to strip off the top course, pulverizeit, and blend it into the old base, or else saveit for reuse on top of the new road, depend-ing on its condition.

After the top course of asphalt or concreteis removed, the exposed base is plowed upand loosened for a depth of eight to 10 inch-es. Highway crews then add a binding agentto the base.

After the binding agent is spread, a ma-chine resembling a huge rototiller mixes thebinding agent with the base material, and thenew base is compacted with a roller. Afterthe base cures, the final top course of black-top or a chip seal is applied.

Mystery Dizziness Affects Six PeopleFour students were taken to Tompkins

Community Hospital Monday afternoon af-ter one of them fainted and the others com-plained of dizziness and nausea while takinga quiz in biology lab in the new Academic IIbuilding. One of the students was kept over-night at the hospital, and the others weretreated and released.

Two public safety officers who respondedalso were treated at the hospital and re-leased. Twelve other people in the room werenot affected and no cause has been deter-mined.

Staff from the university's Office of Envi-ronmental Health conducted a series of testsin the lab, but found no trace of toxic chemi-cals or gasses. "It is in isolated incident, andwe feel there are no problems with the build-ing itself," said Judith Crawford, assistantdirector of environmental health.

The biology lab, one of five such labs onthe first floor of Academic II, was put backin use at 5 p.m. Monday and there have beenno other reports of problems, Crawfordsaid.

Libraries Have ExhibitionAbout Urban Planners

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary ofthe city and regional planning program here,the Department of Manuscripts and Univer-sity Archives of the Cornell University Li-braries has prepared an exhibition, "UrbanAmerica: Documenting the Planners."

This exhibition, held in the John M. OlinLibrary and the Fine Arts Library throughDec. 31, includes 215 items drawn from thepapers of individual planners and planningorganizations. It seeks to convey an overviewof the origins and development of the plan-ning profession in America and to provide asense of the dynamic role these individualsand organizations played in shaping Ameri-can cities.

It also illustrates the beauty and the inno-vative thinking that are documented in thesepapers. Collectively, these items impart asense of the scope and richness of the collec-tions for research, according to the exhibi-tion's sponsors.

Faculty Can See Latest Software ToolsFor Instruction in Session Set Nov. 7

Cornell faculty can see firsthand the latesttools for developing computer software forinstructional use at a special afternoon sym-posium on authoring systems and interactivetechnologies Nov. 7 at Statler Hall.

Sponsored by Cornell Computer Services,the symposium will begin at 1:15 p.m. in theWest Lounge and will feature six of the mostinnovative and popular authoring systems inuse in educational institutions today, accord-ing to Geri Gay, a Computer Services techni-cal advisor.

Gay describes authoring systems as pro-grammerless tools specifically designed to fa-cilitiate the development and preparation ofcomputer-aided instructional (CAI) materi-als. Authoring languages consist of English-based instructions or commands and rules ofsnytax for putting commands together. They

are designed to make it easy to create lessonsthat instruct and that help students assesstheir mastery of the material. Almost 300systems are currently on the market, Gaysaid.

Both menu-driven and command-type sys-tems have been included.

A related event, the regular LunchtimeBytes Seminar, will precede the symposium.Dr. Daniel Alonso of the Cornell MedicalCollege will discuss the use of interactive vi-deo and laserdisc technology in medical in-struction. The seminar will begin at 12:20 inRoom 100, Caldwell Hall, and it and thesymposium are open to the campus commu-nity.

chased at the door.A victory for the lightweight football team

against Pennsylvania Friday night would en-able the squad to finish with a .500 record.Cornell takes a 2-3-1 overall record into thecontest, and is also 0-3-1 in the ELFL. Seniortailback John Bridges, the league's fourth-leading rusher, has picked up the offensewith his steady performances this year.Bridges' best game came against Princetonwhen he gained 89 yards on the ground. Thequarterback duties have been split betweensenior Rob Lynch and sophomore Dave Zit-tel, who completed five of 10 passes for 40yards in the 27-0 loss to Army last weekend.Senior defensive back Dan Gilroy has led thedefense, which has yielded fewer than 16points per contest.

Pennsylvania is currently 0-4 in the ELFL,as it lost to Rutgers last Saturday, 28-17.Cornell defeated the Quakers last season, 42-15, and has taken the last 13 games betweenthe two schools.

The men's soccer team has had a fine yearthus far, riding atop the Ivy League stand-ings with a perfect 5-0 record and compilingan 8-3 overall mark thus far — guaranteeinga winning season. With two league games re-maining on the schedule, Cornell has alreadyequalled its most wins ever in league play,and this is the first time since 1975 that theBig Red has won its first five league contests.Cornell is shooting for its first Ivy title since1977.

The Red posted a 1-0 victory over Dart-mouth last Saturday to improve its lead inthe league standings to a game and a halfover second-place Columbia. SophomoreJohn Bayne added to his conference-leadingpoint total by tallying the lone goal of thecontest. He now has five goals and two as-sists in the league, and also leads Cornell inscoring with five goals and three assists. For-ward Steve McPherson assisted Bayne's tal-ly, as he now has three goals and two assistson the year. Senior Jim Kilgore turned in asolid game in the nets with six saves to earnhis second shutout of the season. He has anoutstanding goals against average of 0.3 anda save percentage of .966.

Tuesday's game with St. Francis is a veryimportant one if Cornell is to remain in con-tention for a post-season playoff bid. TheRed is currently ranked fifth in the state andmust continue winning, while getting somehelp from other squads, in order to move upin the weekly poll. The top two teams in thestate automatically receive bids to the NCAAtournament, but as many of four teams fromthe region may be selected. The Cornell-St.Francis series is knotted at 1-1 after the BigRed dropped a 1-0 decision last fall.

The women's volleyball team has had an

outstanding season thus far, but the biggestchallenges still lie ahead. In getting ready f°'the upcoming New York state and IvyLeague championships, the Big Red hasupped its record to 15-4. The team is cominSoff a strong first-place finish at the ColgateTournament last weekend, winning three o>four matches in the tourney. FreshmanKathy Klein did a fine job blocking and hit'ting, while junior Brenda Collins and seniorJennifer Stiles also played well over theweekend.

AROUND CORNELL

Railfans, Modelers and Historians: All AboardThe Cornell Railroad Historical Society is

an eight-year old organization, located atCornell University and affiliated with theNational Railway Historical Society. Wehave nearly 100 people on our roster, rang-ing from university staff members to a jour-nalist, several accountants, students, andmany more, all with an interest in some fac-et of railroading. We are open to all mem-bers of the community. We enjoy the pastgrandeur but also appreciate the currentproblems of the railroad industry. We havea keen interest in its continued survival.

During the past several years, we haveaccomplished a great deal to expand ourgroup and to also promote our varied inter-ests in railroads. Besides our monthly meet-ings which are held at 7:30 p.m. on the sec-ond Tuesday.of each month (1120 Snee Hall,Cornell University) we have joined theNRHS as the Cornell Chapter. We have alsoheld fantrips to Albany, Chicago and Toron-to and are planning a future trip to Montre-

al. We hold an annual members banquet,annual picnic, and an annual "Finger LakesRailfair." The fairs are held in the fall andthe average attendance is nearly 1,500. Ourclub has also constructed a large 21' x 40'"HO" modular layout as well as a similar" N " layout. We have displayed the layoutsat the Syracuse Train Show as well as Pyr-amid Mall and Center Ithaca.

The goals of our group are far-reachingand hopefully are realistic. We have beenoffered and are in the process of obtaining a65-ton Whitcomb locomotive. We hope tomove it to this area and restore it to depend-able service. It should not be difficult to ac-complish! Beyond that, we would like toalso obtain a coach or two and perhaps a ca-boose. With a little "elbow grease" wecould have a small excursion train. Again

with a little effort, we could perhaps con-vince Conrail to allow us an occasional ex-cursion up along Cayuga Lake.

Our regular meetings are fairly informalwith a wide spectrum of interests rep-resented. We hove railfans, historians, mod-el railroaders and even a few trolley enthu-

siasts. It doesn't cost a penny to come andattend our meetingsl! We have speakers,movies, slides, contests and in general, justa good time railroading.

CRC News CORNELL RECREATION CLUB

CRC Park Site Announcement£he Cornell Recreation Club (CRC) has en-

listed the aid of the sophomore LandscapeArchitecture Studio to add a professionaltouch to the planning process of the newCRC park site. The studio, which is under thedirection of Professor Marvin Adleman ofthe Department of Landscape architecture/Floriculture Ornamental Horticulture, consis-ts of twenty-four students. Some studentswill work in groups while others may chooseto work independently. The end result willbe four to six final designs for review.

During the planning and developmentphases of the park, to insure that full consid-eration will be given to the many concernsof CRC, the following factors will be takeninto consideration by th» students: site anal-

ysis, site accommodations, design proce-dures, construction schedule, and futureCRC program objectives.

The design process will begin November4th, be completed on December 6th, andculminate on December 7th when the de-signs will be juried. It is hoped that the finaldesigns will be displayed for review by theCRC membership at the annual holiday din-ner dance on December 7th.

The board of directors and membership ofthe Cornell Recreation Club are enthusiasticabout this undertaking and are most appre-ciative of this tremendous opportunity tohave professional help in the design of thepark.

CRC Display for Employee DayOne of the popular attractions at the Em-

ployee Day event has been display boothsof employees at work and at play. The de-partment of Public Safety and Life SafetyServices always seem to have very popularbooths. They both had excellent displayswith various ways to attract attention tosafety tips. They are to be congratulated.Not to be outdone, and to demonstrate thatplay is important too, the Cornell RecreationClub (CRC) provided a booth this year. The

display was designed by Earl Hartman, civilengineer designer with the engineering de-partment of facilities. Marie Vallely, a new-ly appointed member of the public relationsand membership committee, faithfullytended the CRC booth that day.

CRC is on the move. The public relationsand membership committee, chaired byDonna Vose, invites all Cornell employeesto be a part of it.

brown bag luncheonby Catherine FitzgeraldOn October 9 the art of negotiation was

delightfully presented by Professor EarlBrooks at the first Brown Bag Luncheon ofthe fall semester. Professor Brooks capti-vated his audience with entertaining anec-dotes of negotiation in action, or as the casemay be, inaction.

We learned there are steps to take andrules to go by before, during, and after thenegotiation process. This can make amarked difference on the outcome of thenegotiation and also the satisfaction of bothparties. It was also interesting to discoverthat some settlements and expenses whichyou may feel are written in stone can actual-ly be negotiated, such as insurance claimsand certain retail purchases. The importantthing is knowing these things can be nego-tiated and being able to do it with confi-dence, sensitivity, and skill.

If your lunches have become drab and or-dinary or you'd just like to get out and do

something different, join us for a Brown BagLuncheon in Martha van Rensselaer, roomNG-2. See the "Employee Calendar" forspeakers, topics, and details. Hope to seeyou there.

CREEPINGby Leona M. House

In the night it came, silently creeping.Fog, covering our little town in a shroud ofthick wetness.

Unable to sleep, I sat in my chair lookingout in the street watching this phenomnon ofnature change the shapes of shrubs andbushes into primeval beasts. Giant dino-saurs 18 feet high lumbered up and downmain street roaring their disapproval of thehot sticky night.

Mute I watched this primeval play takingplace as huge snakes slithered down fromthe neighbors' trees to join the beasts intheir parade. Through the continuousswamp steam and mist raising from theground encouraged giant mosquitoes fromthe bogs to take wing, filling the air with adeafening hum of their wings.

Huge slimy one-eyed creatures oozed

from the ground. Seeing the dinosaurs thecreatures melted back into the ground to re-surface in a safer area. These one-eyedslime balls are a favorite food of the 18 foodhigh beasts.

Awe-strickened I watched as my purplesmoke tree began to move ever so slightlytaking an ominous form. It crept to the pro-cession slinking along to devour anything inits path. Errie noises permeated the thicksticky night, leaving me with a cold chill andutter dread of monstourous things still un-seen. Huge jelly fish and giant octopus mak-ing suction cup noises on the pavement,enormous walking whales and tree sizedshrimp added to the clamorous scene.

My imagination raced on and on to fill inblank scenes during this fog filled night inmy little town.

Morns sun rose to melt the giants of thecreeping, and return to normal the trees,shrubs and me. Perhaps tonight the creeping|will return to set another scene ofthrills and chills. Maybe.

Applebutterby Michael RomanoApples, which are found throughout the

world and thought to have been first culti-vated during the stone age, are probablythe most popular of all fruits. Their appeal ismost likely due to the folklore surroundingthem in addition to the thousands of varie-ties we now have. Their shape and variatedcolors - reds to green to stripes - have madethem the artist's favorite subject. Loadedwith vitamins such as B and C and mineralssuch as calcium, iron and potassium, flavorsrange from juicy sweetness to a sharp tart-ness, textures range from soft and mealy tocrisp and firm.

All this is nice to know now that October ishere and apples are in abundant supply.There are many varieties to choose from;Jonathans, Winesaps, Cortlands, GrannySmiths, Macintosh, Rhode Island Greenings,Red and Golden Delicious, Baldwin, North-ern Spy, Rome Beauties, Matsu, and Pippinsto name just a few.

This is the time then to make and put upapple pies, applesauce, dried apple slices,apple jelly but, above all, applebutter. I amaddicted to applebutter and have beensince I tasted it many years ago. Each yearas the fall season comes upon us, out comesthe kettle, the pint size mason jars and otheringredients that are needed. I pick a week-end when my family is out of the house andthen the work begins - the paring, the slic-ing, the cooking, the tasting and then, fi-nally, when all is ready, the canning. Thework is long but the results are terrific. Whatcan be better than having a slice of home-made, toasted wheat bread coated with anabundance of spicy applebutter? Truly thegods would envy you.

Here then is the recipe which I have beenusing for many, many years. It was givento me by a Mennonite family I knew inPennsylvania. Finally, you should be awarethat different types of apples will give a dif-ferent taste to the butter. Experiments withat least two different varieties, say a tart anda semi-sweet; I have used Winesap, Mcln-tosh or Jonathan on many occasions with su-

perb results. In any case, whatever typesyou use you will be well rewarded.

Oh yes, lest I forget, there was a JohnnyAppleseed and he did spread applesthroughout the country. His real name wasJohathan Chapman.

Applebutter8 pounds apples2'/J cups brown sugarVs teaspoon salt'/J teaspoon ground clovesVJ teaspoon allspice2 teaspoons cinnamonV* teaspoon nutmeg3 quarts apple cider (Do not use pasteur-

ized apple juice, the results will be quite dif-ferent)

Put the apple cider in a stainless steelkettle and reduce to about one-half. Core,peel, and slice each apple into quarters,then into eighths. Add to the reduced ciderand cook over low heat until the apples aretender. Mash down on them from time totime to help break them up. Stir every fewminutes to prevent the mixture from stick-ing. When the apples are cooked, (the timewill vary depending upon the apples butone hour is average) add the spices or, ifyou prefer, force the mixture through a finesieve and return to the kettle. Add thebrown sugar, salt, ground cloves, allspice,nutmeg and cinnamon. Continue to cookover low heat until the mixture thickens.Again time will vary depending on theapples used; however, this step should takeanywhere from one to two hours. You mustbe the judge when it comes to the applebut-ter consistency. The longer you cook themixture, the thicker ft will become. At thisstage you must stir constantly.

When the applebutter is ready to yourtaste, pack in hot, sterile, pint mason jars.They will selfseal from the heat. It is not nec-essary to process but you may do so if youwish, giving the jars a 15 minute water bathin boiling water.

This recipe will make approximately 4 to 6pints.

6. After your presentation and discussion,follow up back on the job with further infor-mation or clarification.

7. Get out from behind your desk and talkto people. And not about "off icial business"only. There's more to your work relationshipthan just that. Occasionally ask them to talkwith you about whatever is on their minds.

by Joan HeffernanThis is a busy and critical time of change

for the Employee Assembly. Three membershave recently resigned their seats on the as-sembly, creating vacancies which need tobe fi l led as soon as possible.

The Employee Assembly is searching forenthusiastic employees interested in con-tributing, learning, questioning, and broa-dening their scope, while becominginvolved in the larger Cornell community. Ifthis challenge appeals to you, and you areinterested in being a prospective assemblymember, please contact the Office of theAssemblies in 165 Day Hall, 6-3715.

As a member of the Employee Assemblyfor the past six months, I have had an oppor-tunity to meet and work with a number ofCornell employees from divergent areas, in-cluding Geneva station. In meetings withvarious university administrators, EmployeeAssembly members have listened to theircomments on recent developments, andhave been able to raise questions on a num-ber of pertinent topics. I have heard thepoints of view of faculty and student leadersin other groups, such as University assem-bly, which I have attended. I was fortunateto be appointed to the university personnelpolicy committee, which involves the issuesof greatest interest to me. This committee,co-chaired by another member of the Em-ployee Assembly, is small but enthusiasticand is currently choosing the issues withwhich it wi l l deal. Through my involvementwith the Employee Assembly, I have learneda great deal about the manner in which theuniversity operates, the issues which mustbe addressed, and the needs of employees.I have throroughly enjoyed my first sixmonths on the assembly and look forward tocontinued work with other Employee Assem-bly members. Please consider joining usl

In addition to the personnel policy com-mittee, the other standing committees —health and safety, communications, internaloperations, and extramural education arealso completing membership, convening,and electing chairs. If you have a specific in-terest in one or more of these committees,or are generally interested in serving on acommittee, please call the assemblies of-fice.

At the most recent meeting on October 16,the Employee Assembly elected a vice chair,Scott Robinson. He joins chairman Mick Ellisand secretary Bill Genter on the executivecommittee. Vincent Fuchs and Joan Heffer-nan were appointed representatives of thefaculty council of representatives; Bill Gent-er wi l l be the representative to student as-sembly.

The Employee Assembly is currently dis-cussing possible changes in its charter, tocover situations which were not previouslyaddressed. Also on the agenda have beendiscussion of the smoking policy and the in-clement weather policy. Although the as-sembly normally does not serve as a forumfor individual employee problems, we wereinvolved with a safety officer's frustrationsconcerning the condition of the trafficbooths on campus. Transportation directorBill Wendt assured us that there is money inthe proposed budget to purchase all newbooths within the next two years.

The Employee Assembly is looking intothe possibility of having a listing of employ-ee-relevant organizations identified at newemployee orientation. The assembly mem-bers wont all endowed employees to beaware that it is possible to meet with a rep-resentative from Aetna, the provider of theuniversity's health care insurance plan, on amonthly basis. To make an appointmentwith the representative, contact Pat Cookeat personnel.

Sweet Newsby Janis Talbot, Health EducatorThere is no doubt that Americans have a

sweet tooth. Over the last sixty years, sugarconsumption in this country has grown tre-mendously; in 1979, the annual consump-tion for the average American was about130 pounds of sugar. At one time, sugar wasused primarily as a flavoring, like salt or cin-namon in cakes and cookies; today, it is of-ten used as one of the main ingredients inprocessed foods and beverages. With thisdramatic increase in consumption, concernhas grown about the health impact of sugar.

In a recent publication entitled "Nutritionand Your Health," the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services reports that theprimary health hazard from excess sugarconsumption is tooth decay. Cavities resultwhen particles of sugar combine with bacte-ria in the mouth to form dental plaque.Plaque eats away at the tooth enamel, lead-ing to the formation of dental cavities.

The probability of tooth decay has beenfound to increase with the amount of sugarconsumed, the frequency of consumption,and the length of time sugared foods are incontact with teeth. It may therefore be lessharmful to add sugar to your morning coffeethan to drink soda all day long or to fre-quently eatstickyfoods such as raisins,dates,honey, or gumdrops. In order to keep teethhealthy, sugar consumption must be re-duced in conjunction with careful daily den-tal hygiene and other preventive dentistry.

Contrary to popular belief, sugar alonedoes not cause diabetes. Diabetes is an in-herited disorder that develops in personswho have this genetic predisposition. Obesi-ty may well be considered a major factor forthose who develop diabetes; an obese per-son is usually advised to reduce weightalong with a change in diet that restrictsfoods high in sugar content.

Some people reduce their intake of white-refined sugar by substituting brown sugar,honey, or maple syrup in its place in the be-lief that these substitutions are better be-cause they are natural. On the contrary, sug-ar and honey are all but chemicallyindistinguishable; after digestion they areidentical. Honey and maple syrups do con-

tain a trace of important nutrients,one tablespoon of honey supplies only •of the Recommended Daily Allowan''(RDA) for calcium and phosphorous 01*about .5% of the RDA for iron. TablespO0

for tablespoon, sugar actually contains I*'kilo-calories than honey, 46 k-cal compaf*to 61 k-cal. Since honey is sweeter than sar, one might use less and therefore cof

sume fewer calories.While research into the full impact su

has upon human nutrition continues,would seem wise for now to follow the "'etary recommendation to avoid too m"^sugar. Here are a few suggestions thathelp you reduce sugar consumption:

1. Read the ingredients label on food"hidden sugars such as sucrose, fructose, 1°'tose, maltose, or corn sweeteners. Av«"buying foods that list sugar as the first, **ond, or third ingredient, as this indicfl'*1

that they contain a large amount of sugar-2. Use less of all sugars, including wh'

sugar, brown sugar, honey, and syrups.3. Select fresh fruits or canned fruits w'1

out sugar or light syrup rather than he<>syrup to satisfy your sweet tooth. Fruit o\provides fiber and other nutrients essen"to your diet.

4. Avoid between meal snacks of sweet"sticky foods. Replace with foods such "nuts, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, and mill'

5. Brush or floss teeth or rinse your mo1

after meals or snacks.6. Remember: How often you eat sug«r

as important as how much you eat.
