Father Time, numbers place constraints on majority of Americans

e live in a world of numbers. Nature is ruled by them, and human lives revolve Lauren Osborne W around them. The disciplines of math- News Editor ematics, statistics and calculations have evolved to become its own language not only among those professionals whose jobs are based upon them, but among most everyone. In the form of time, money, scores, codes and limits, numbers and the powerful effects they produce are quite pervasive in our lives today. Although few people associate with numbers beyond the typical classroom or office, the universality of numerical applications allows them to extend beyond the confines of a restricted learning environment. Mathematics and numbers can be applied to virtually any area of study, practice, and/or inquiry: technology and business, nature, entertainment, psychology, etc . . . . In business-related fields, the modern computer, possibly the most significant contribution to the technological world, is not only programmed with the aid of mathematics, but it is able to transmit data, identify mechanical errors in a document, play music and solve complex equations in a matter of seconds as a result. Numbers are also quite prevalent in nature. This is evidenced by lunar and tidal phases, calendar years, astronomical cycles, meteorology and certain biological functions of some animate objects, such as hunger and aging. One of the most evident examples of numbers in nature is our obsession with time. We are captives of it; we feel naked and lost without a watch or a clock. Many people surround themselves with constant reminders of how little time they have to accomplish the day's goals, and they are everywhere: in the car, in the bathroom, at the office, ' i!,. classroom, on the VCR, on the microwave, on one's wrist, next to one's be .l and on the wall. It is tragic but true. More often than not, we succumb to the manipulation of an inanimate object that represents something intangible; we allow ourselves to be controlled by something so abstract and obscure. And if one surrenders to the elusive Father Time, his freedom to act on a whim is greatly limited, and he is no longer at liberty to act when he pleases. Rather than acting upon free will, we seem to let our watches govern and dictate our decisions, especially in regard to meal and sleep times. The majority of Americans eat meals during designated times, regardless of hunger, because they associate specific morning, afternoon and evening hours with their respective meals. Most restaurants, well aware of this custom, only serve during certain hours of the day. Likewise, those on the verge of falling sleep often claim that it's too early to go to bed upon glancing at the time. Fathennore, many people set time limits for themselves and allot a certain block of tine for the completion of tasks. This habit can be viewed as both beneficial and hazardous. It not only helps one create and strengthen time management skills, but also expedites the achievement of goals. On the other hand, people often estimate and allow either too much or too little time for tasks, and, if the task is left uncompleted, one may feel guilty and consequently procrastinate further. In a classroom setting, many students constantly check the time with the hopes that more time has passed quickly. To my knowledge, habitually and compul- sively checking the time does not indeed make more time elapse; it would actually seem that that would slow the passage of time. I do concede that time does play an integral and crucial role in our daily academic and professional lives. In the business world, appointments and confer- ences are scheduled around set deadlines, and, although Americans are typically more accepting of tardiness than are Asians (yet less passive than Latin Ameri- cans), negotiations often occur across cultures, and one should be both aware and respectful of others' beliefs, standards and practices in order to maintain corporate relationships. Additionally, because many people use time to their advantage when schedul- ing social activities, it is important to be prompt when meeting with friends and acquaintances in order to uphold interpersonal relationships. It is understood that those people who rely heavily on their watches likely do so to remain organized and prompt. But others have become so dependent on their watches that the actual time does not even register, and these people become servants of time. Letters to the Editor Because time is so captive and has the power to control so many people, it is important to remember that limits will continue to exist and further plague our daily lives whether we create them for ourselves or not. Why not free ourselves • from futile constraints and needless worry and concern now before we become Reader doesn't want to see insults in paper caught up in time's irreversible whirlwind?

Security guards also protect the residence halls when darkness falls. After 11 p.m., security guards staff the entrances to make sure everybody coming in is either a resident or registered as a guest. This should not be looked on as an inconvenience by students. It is not hard to recite your room number, name and social security number, and these guards are keeping many people out of the residence halls that shouldn't be in there. Adding lighting and improving existing lighting are also examples of great efforts being done by the security staff at WSU. Lighting on this campus has been vastly improved over the past few years, and that is one of the chief contributers to both the safety of our campus and the perception of safety. A campus being statistically safe doesn't necessarily make students feel safe. Students feel safe when they have a well- balanced combination of well lit areas, security personnel emergency boxes and countless other factors.

How repressed are your childhood memories ? This week's Erixia Gordonian quiz explores this and other important mysteries of the human psyche. I know. It's been quite a while since we gave our faithful Gordoniites (you and your loved ones) an S.Q. (Stupidity Quotient) test, but fear not, this horrible streak is over. For those of you who are unfamiliar with our quizzes — You're dorks! Get with the program. Just kidding. Here's the deal. You write down your answers on a piece of paper (extra points for entries written on a sheet of spiral notebook — not neatbook — paper with the little frilly edges still attached) and slip that bad boy into the Winonan box (a small, neatly kept box) by 4:20 p.m. Monday. Don't forget to attach your name and phone number so that we may slip you the gherkin at a later date. The winner's name will appear in the following issue along with the correct quiz answers, but the fun doesn't stop there. Oh no. Erixia Gordonian quiz winners are entitled to a pointless, no-expenses-paid, lifelong existence in the tourist mecca of the free world — Winona! Winners are also entitled to one of the tastiest gherkins ever to drip juice on an American chin. Talk about excitement! Also, for those of you who still dare to dream in this crazy, mixed-up world, there is a mystery prize available for anyone who gets a CRUISE SHIP & LAND-TOUR CRUISE & LAND TOUR JOBS workers can earn up to EMPLOYMENT - earn perfect score. $2,000+/month (w/tips &bene- $2,000/month.
