Before it was built, all autopsies had to be performed at the funeral homes throughout the county. Besides an autopsy suite, the new addition includes a nursing library and conference area, a suite of of fices for the nursing directors, a storage area, and a physical therapy area. Dr. Franz Leidler, professor of pathology at Texas A&M Medical School, explained the importance of the necropsy (autopsy) suite. “These new facilities are impor tant to train them (students) espe cially since necropsies constitute a fundamental practice of medicine,” he said. The autopsy suite has a stainless steel examining table and a two- body refrigerator that will preserve organs in a fresh state and minimize decay. Despite the nature of the facility being dedicated, the crowd was in, an almost festive mood throughout the ceremony. At one point during the tour, Jane Cherry, a Bryan resident who con- as Cherry was helped off the table. With a big grin she said, “It was scary.” Dr. J.C. Lee, head pathologist for St. Joseph, explained the impor tance of learning about disease through autopsies. “The old saying, The dead teach the living’ is still true, I think,” he said. ' By MARY JO PRINCE Battalion Reporter More than 200 students will meet at Texas A&M University in Feb ruary to discuss the topic, “Technology: Tool or Tyrant?” at the Student Conference on National Affairs. Students from the United States, Mexico, and Canada will examine the topic at roundtable discussions in attempts to develop as many sources of information and viewpoints on the problem as possi ble. Jim Briggs, chairman of the 1980 conference, says preliminary plans call for developing the topic through discussion of ethical issues, effects of technology on the environment and its implications for the individual. “We can talk about a number of issues under this framework,” ac cording to the senior from Houston. Altering of genetic makeup through technology, safety and effectiveness of new drugs, and nuclear, chemi cal, and other technological wastes are just a few of the areas expected to be covered by the participants at the upcoming four-day conference. This will be the sixteenth year that Texas A&M has hosted the stu dent conference. Invitations are being issued to guest speakers and roundtable co- chairmen from many segments of society. High school students from Texas and college students from across North America make up the delega tion of about 200 participants. There have been inquiries from as far away as the University of New South Wales in Australia. In roundtable discussions of about 15 to 20 students, SCONA delegates examine ideas and try to gain better understanding of processes that leaders must go through to solve so ciety’s problems. The 1980 SCONA conference is operating on a $42,500 budget. The money pays for conference publicity and materials as well as accommoda tions and transportation for guest speakers. An initial registration fee of about $35 is required of the delegates. This pays for their materials, and partial housing and meal provisions. Delegates provide their own transportation to and from the con ference and housing is usually provided on and around campus. Fund-raising drives are con ducted in Canada and Mexico to de fray travel expenses for delegates from those countries. The student conference requires year-long preparation. The commit tee began plans for the upcoming conference soon after last year’s con ference, which had as a topic “America’s Economic Environment: Business, Bucks, and Bureaucracy. Laurie Begam, a participant in last year’s conference, thoroughly enjoyed her SCONA activities. She said, “It is just amazing — the amount of communciation that transpired in those discussions.” Begam, a former student from Houston, added, “You might think that with that many different kinds of people involved, there is bound to be mass confusion and break downs in the areas of relating to each other. But we had no problem in understanding each other at all. ” T€flCH€RS LCRRM!

No other stereo system gives you this kind of control over your music. The Bose® Spatial Control™ Sound System.

This is the first and only sound system that lets you adjust the spatial image of reproduced music. Wide position Narrow position Set the spatial control at “Wide” for the open, spacious sound of an orchestra or a driving rock band.

The control is in your hands. The Spatial Control™ Receiver has a built-in 901 equalizer. So we are able to save you money, because there is no need to buy the separate equalizer that normally comes with Bose 901 speakers. Still you get the equalizer’s benefits. Special Source and Room Compensation Controls let you adjust 901 speakers for variations in room acoustics and recording quality.
