The Harvard study was based on the assumption that the average child spends three times as much time in the sun as the average adult and on a statistical model that predicts the potential long-term benefits of sunscreen use during childhood and adolescence. "All of our evidence indicates that the risk is dependent on the amount of ultraviolet-B rays a person is exposed to," Stern said. "Several factors determine skin cancer risk, For instance, a person Is at greater risk in Albuquerque than in Seattle because more ultraviolet-B rays can penetrate the atmosphere at that latitude," The two common skin cancers are basal and squamous cell it has learned that batteries the manufacturers of the models have, in certain instances, ruptured and shattered in the telephone handset.

The NASA-financed plan will eavesdrop on microwave radiation that reaches Earth from space, using machines and computers to listen for microwave patterns that nature never produces but that humans, with their crude technology, often do.

The program will break the microwave spectrum Into 10 million or 100 million channels and search them systematically. "It will cover a volume of space that is 10 million times greater than everything that's been done over the past 25 years," said Jill Tarter of the University of California, Berkeley, last week. "These are the initial steps of a grand exploration of the microwave system, looking for evidence of an artificially generated signal. Our civilization, for the very first time, can contemplate undertaking, out of pure curiosity, a search that may not bear fruitful results for many generations." Tarter said the extraterrestrial search is in the third year of a five-year research and development program. The project is expected to search for alien signals through the end of the century.

Sunscreens Can Help Grab Some Rays Safely Using a sunscreen regularly can reduce the incidence of two of the most common skin cancers by up to 80, a Harvard Medical School study found. But despite more than 400,000 annual cases of sun-related skin cancer, public awareness of the benefits of using a high-protection sunscreen is surprisingly low, it said. "Simply by applying an SPF 15 sunscreen to their face, neck, upper chest and arms each summer day until they are 18, children can substantially reduce their risk of non-melanoma skin cancer," Dr. Robert Stern said. "And, for those who remain committed to tanning, Biological factors may be more important than environmental factors in explaining why boys tend to outscore girls on mathematics tests, even though their verbal skills are statistically identical, reports Iowa State University psychologist Camilla P.

Benbow. She said studies in recent years simply have not found conclusive links between how girls are reared and their math skills, while biological research has shown that the male hormone testosterone may enhance development of the part of brain responsible for reasoning needed in math. When the discrepancy was first publicized in 1971, many theorized that girls are not as adept at math because of the way they are reared, the way they are treated in classrooms and even the toys with which they are taught to play. But subsequent studies, involving hundreds of girls, do not bear out the theory. "They lend credence to the viewpoint that these sex differences may have a biological component," Benbow said last week at the annual meeting of the American Assn.

for the Advancement of Science. She said related studies have shown that math skills of girls can improve with encouragement and special teaching techniques. At the same time, biological studies have shown that fetuses exposed to high levels of testosterone often favor their left hands and develop immune disorders such as allergies. Both of these traits are twice as common in mathematically gifted children than in other children. These studies suggest that testosterone slows the development of the brain's left hemisphere, thus enhancing the development of the right, which is associated with many of the reasoning skills needed to solve mathematical problems, Benbow said.

Since 1974, the anthropologists have been studying 25 children across the country who live in religious communes. The children, now 12 years old, function well socially with their peers and do well in their studies, the UCLA researchers reported last week at the annual meeting of the American Assn.

for the Advancement of Science. They described the children as "bicultural" and attributed much of the children's attitudes to what they say is the Americanization of religious communes meaning that many of the communes stressed such traditional values as family, hard work and achievement in life, they found. "Although the groups have a significant effect on the families' religious and cultural attitudes, the children are still developing in culturally appropriate ways," Thomas S. Weisner said. "They so far also show culturally normative developmental profiles for American children." He said the study does not involve children of cults.

Television station KTLA simulcasts Spanish dialogue for news and some entertainment shows. Disc jockeys on oldies-but-goodies radio station KRLA sometimes give call letters a bilingual twist.

Along with the economics, the social bottom line of the Latino media boom is reinforcement of the Spanish language and Latino identity by media and advertisers playing off Latin themes. "There are a lot of economic factors pushing for reverse assimilation," said Carlos Arce of Nu Stats, an Austin, research firm. "The direction we have gone on the continuum of assimilation has been reversed. There is an increasing ability and desire to retain the Spanish language and Hispanic interests."

Nationally, advertisers spent an estimated $333.5 million to reach Latinos in 1985, up 17 from $284.5 million in 1984. Media directors for Latino advertising agencies say clients now fine-tune their appeals to segments of the Latino audience, just as they do with advertising in English. "Los Angeles is a terrific Spanish radio town because we've got five viable stations," said Mario Lazo of Mendoza and Dillon in Newport Beach.

"They the stations have to know who they are and where they want to be. 'Do I want the young people, or the housewives, or to go after "They are conscious of how they format and who they go after." Lazo cited KWKW with traditional Mexican music; KALI and KSKQ with pop music in Spanish; KLVE with a soft, beautiful music appeal, and KTNQ with the most popular disc jockey. In television, KVEA also wants to distinguish itself from KMEX by offering different programs. "It's largely alternative, counter-programming," KVEA's Wal-lach said. "If someone is watching a no vela on KMEX, maybe you can have a documentary.

It's giving the viewer a choice." KMEX and KVEA offer entertainment shows produced in Latin America. But KVEA also airs Spanish -dubbed versions of U.S. movies, such as "Dr. Zhivago," and television programs, such as "Medical Center."
