Figure Salon i omen at work By COLIN CROMBIE 'The employment of women in icutive positions at Texas A&M rsity appears to be following ional trends. “We are seeing more women Jving into high executive pos- >f Austin 1 B ns on C ampus,” said Ray Smith, >75,000 tollttph,,. of the University personnel hooks dtp T e p iir tnient.

But she said that it is hard to jeheralize because attitudes can nge between organizations and h between departments. Greenfeld questioned more than women on the fears and anx- es of success. Her findings indi ted that the women in male- inated jobs have very few dif- Itences from the women in ale-dominated jobs.

Ilhe first few female ves in »mpany tend to be seen as the I 1 el of all female executives, leenfeld said. They feel pressured to succeed to set an example for other ™en to follow,” she said. *4 Slle dis app r oves of this at- AVotnen should have the oppor- 'y to fail just as men have the ortunity to fail, and should not P e the model for all other A&M coed who recently graduated with a bachelor of science degree. She was the first woman to be hired by an oil company, and was told that she’d be the model for all women to come. Studies show that an increasing number of subordinates are indif ferent about the sex of their boss, Greenfeld said. Subordinates are more willing to accept a female executive with power who can help them in their own career, she added. An advanced college degree helps a woman in a male-dominated job, Greenfeld noted. Cynthia Irby, Texas A&M’s Af firmative Action officer and the newest woman executive on cam pus, said that she was chosen be cause of her experience and her higher education (master’s degree). Personnel director Ray Smith said that at all levels on campus the qual ifications and experience based on the requirements of the position that is open are the considerations of employment. “Our policy is no discrimination, it is to consider women and men equally, Smith said. “Recent laws have given us a keener awareness of the civil rights movement.” Greenfeld remarked that the fu ture of executive female employ ment is heading in the direction of an egalitarian society.

Dr. Jack R. Nation, an assistant professor of psyc hology, is conduct ing basic experiments with animals under a $5,850 National Institute of Mental Health grant. He is trying to see if animals, once rewarded for remaining absolutely still, can reverse' their behavior and learn to run for reinforcement, or if they will retain their former habits. Nation said recently the 1 cognitive theory of behavior, which in this ease states that subjects learn that their responses and rewards are related, predic ts that the animals will pic k up on the new task and run. Another theory, that of instru mental learning, indicates the ani mals might suppress responses to the new situation, relying on their past experience that not moving meant reward. Nation said the testing of these two theories will assist in establish ing a fundamental model for study of neurotic depression in humans. Since* scientific examination of the field is new, some of the Texas A&M findings may provide a base for fur ther experiments.
