They want romance. They want travel. They want newness. They're willing to try new products, and they want stimulating ideas coming to them that resonate with who they are at this point in life." CBS insists it is making substantial headway in persuading advertisers that the 18-to-49 "demographic" is an anachronism. "Five years from today, we will be talking about the new demographic, adults 35 to 64," says CBS' David Poltrack, the dean of network number-crunchers.

"That's where the economy is, that's where the spending power is." No sale, counters Bill Croas-dale, president of Western International Media, the country's largest buyer of advertising time. Croasdale, who is in his 50s, says the "vast majority of advertisers still go after the 18-to-49-year-old viewers. Poltrack has to establish a case for the older audience, because that's the only audience his network is delivering. You just have to look at the (CBS) sponsors. You will see the denture fasteners, the more expensive cars, adult diapers and other older-appeal products.

The acne cream and jean manufacturers, and the feminine hygiene products, you'll see them going to Fox and ABC. And those advertisers spend a helluva lot more than the makers of older-appeal products." Croasdale, whose company's clients range from Mattel to Home Depot, says most advertisers still buy the idea that "if you capture consumers of your product in their formative years, the odds are they'll stay with you for the rest of their lives." cle in the Square Theater.

"Orthopedic surgeons seem to like country," said the professor and chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. "Plastic surgeons like melodic, flowing, beautiful music which is very consistent with their style.

And at UMC, the cardiac room varies between country and rock 'n' roll pretty much." So what would Eichhorn choose? "Being the age I am, '60s rock is my music. I was at Woodstock." Eichhorn adds, however, that he preferred the sounds of silence early in his career. "I personally was afraid of the distraction." That's a valid concern, said Thompson. "I think it can be too loud so you can't hear what the anesthesiologist is saying or hear each other. We try to keep it in control.

As soon as I feel like it is getting too distracting, I turn it off." "You have to keep operating room decorum," agreed Dr. J.R. Todd, a Natchez general surgeon. "I am a stickler for that." Still, he adds, sometimes music is just what the doctor ordered. "When you are really, really tired you can put on something spirited and it picks you up," said Todd.

"If it is 3 in the morning and you have worked all night, you have got to get some energy from somewhere." Todd said while he listens to "whatever fits my mood," he has some regulars in his repertoire. "If I want to get hyped, I'll play B-Tribe. It's a group with a kind of Spanish sound" His other favorites are Ernestine Anderson, Mozart, Bobby Bland and James Brown. Todd said if his patients remain awake during a procedure, he keeps in mind their musical tastes, too. "I don't think if you were operating on a minister you would be playing the blues." Jackson plastic surgeon Suman K.

Das said he often lets his patients choose their surgical sound track, which explains the rap CD in his locker. That was the choice of a 10-year-old patient. Otherwise, Das prefers more soothing fare. "I feel with a musical background I work better. It takes the tension off.

If I am putting a finger back on, the key part of the operation is pretty stressful." And it can be exhaustingly long, as well. "I have done surgery that has taken 26 hours this is when somebody lost all five fingers." While Das keeps his own selection of music handy, other doctors rely on the radio. Many mention FM as a favorite, which doesn't surprise program director Joe Bennett. "We are the choice of people of discretion and high income," he quipped. "Another reason is we play a lot of music and we don't talk a lot.

This is a good thing if you are in the operating room. The kind of prattle you hear on certain stations will make you nervous. It might make your hand shake." Bennett kiddingly proposed several new selections for his station's hit list from Peaceful Anesthetized Feelingby the Eagles to If You Could Read My Chart by Gordon Lightfoot. Thompson said surgeons have been known to do their own plays on words. "We do spontaneously rewrite words to go along." Shout, for instance, might be transformed to "Oh, you make me want to cut." Thompson stresses that such improvisation usually occurs during slack moments in surgery and 'it's TEHEE Open Bowling At Ail Times Automatic Scoring Bowling Inc.

"We have occasionally gone into backup and lead," she said. "One of my favorite tapes to have is an old Stones' tape. But you have to watch out because they get sort of loud. One of my friends claims he was listening to I Can 't Get No Satisfaction and almost forgot to put in a drain. He says no more Rolling Stones." Eichhorn said a surgeon should be wary of songs with a strong rhythm.

"A heavy beat not only can be distracting, but it has been perceived as a potential contributor to surgical error. If someone is tapping along, they don't want to be tapping along with a scalpel." Still, he said, there's room for the likes of Wild Thing on the surgical wing. "Serious hard core rock 'n' roll is used to encourage rapid movement between surgeries." Despite the potential for problems, the medical profession as a whole has been supportive of music in the O.R., said Eichhorn. He notes that as early as the '70s, cardio-pulmonary bypass machines came with tape decks. And now it's routine to equip surgical suites with sound systems.

"We just launched a new surgery suite at Surgicare and they have disc players in every room," said Jackson plastic surgeon Michael Jabaley. While that might sound like a luxury, Jabaley said the systems have a practical side. "Operating rooms by their nature are noisy places. I find that music dampens that a little bit. I like a quiet tranquil room and I think I work better under those circumstances." Others, though, prefer for nothing to mask the normal sounds of surgery.

"One of the fathers of neurosurgery is a person who when he operated, there had to be absolute silence," said Jackson neurosurgeon Alfred Bowles. "He relies a lot on sound," sometimes sensing changes by the different noises emitted when he applies microsuction, Bowles said. Bowles is not as pedantic personally. "Actually, my philosophy is it doesn't make any difference," said Bowles, who does delicate skull base surgery. "I am so caught up in the case, I don't hear anything." Except, perhaps, the twang of a steel guitar.

"If someone played country," Bowles said, "I would have a fit. Otherwise, who knows?"
