Girardeau said, adding that the difference between (ompanies that do basic re search and companies that do manufacturing is one of moti vation "The motivation of basic re searchers is to learn and under stand," he said. "The motiva tion of manufacturers is to make money.” Manufacturers employ scien tists and that's where it gets "a little hazy."

"The reason for that has to be that we haven't got the news out about what we can do for the state. The state hasn't been generous with money for higher education in general.
