S /come bad by Kim Schmidt Battalion Staff Although many young omen believe that inequality pfttween men and women in the work force has been eliminated, they should be realistic about the actual work conditions, Dr. Lynn Haskin said Tuesday. ■“This idealism and optimism must be maintained,” Haskin said. “But I think we must cau- ^tion students also to be realistic.” 4 Haskin, professor of journal ism at Penn State University, spoke along with Dr. Sara Alpern, assistant professor of history at Texas A&M, at a lun cheon program held in observ ance of National Women’s His tory Week. ,I)uring the luncheon, a state ment from Dr. Frank E. Vandiv er was issued proclaiming March 6-12 as women’s history week at Texas A&M University, friie luncheon program, enti- ed Perspectives on American term investments and how they will affect a company. Many companies are faced with pressure to increase earnings every three months. •Management must find sources of money to finance business endeavors when the capital necessary to run a busi ness is in short supply. •Management must be able to maintain cost competi tiveness between companies in an industry. McCardell said the only way industry can sur vive will be if companies are competitive in the price of their products. •Management personnel must be able to manage risk taking. The daily pressures of management inhibit risk taking, but some business risks must be taken. •Management must be able to set objectives that are appropriate to their business goals. McCardell said a major goal of a business should be to try to be better than the best competitor and not just look at its own performance re cord. •Management must be able to handle labor unions and their demands. •Finally, the most impor tant challenge of manage ment is to remember that peo ple in an organization are the most important aspect of the business. McCardell said man agers should learn to criticize employees privately, compli ment employees publicly and set objectives that are chal lenging to the employee. Cops’ tips may prevent Kart, Don’t Women,” was sponsored by Women in Communications, Inc. and Phi Delta Gamma and outlined the history and future of women’s rights. Haskin said young women are optimistic because they believe that things will be different for them. They believe they won’t experience discrimination be cause they have a college educa tion. Although conditions are better today for women with de grees, problems still exist espe cially in the area of pay, she said. Haskin said among ’ people with bachelors degrees, women earn 35 percent less than men. Among people with graduate degrees, women earn 29 percent less than men, she said. “And it is a fact that women with college degrees earn less on the average than a man w'ho drops out of high school,” Has kin said. Students are optimistic abdut getting better treatment in the working world for other reasons also, Haskin said. “Women entering the work force and students are optimistic because they believe women who came before them already have fought the battles in the work place,” she said. Alpern said that essential to the advancement of women’s rights is the passage of the prop osed Equal Rights Amendment. The amendment, which fell three states short of the 38 states needed for ratification in 1982, was reintroduced to Congress in January. Haskin agrees but said women also have other channels with which to influence the adv ancement of womens’ rights. Getting state equality amend ments passed, electing qualified political candidates who support womens’ issues and by obtaining leadership positions women can further equality rights, she said. by Leigh-Ellen Clark Battalion Reporter Every spring break there is a mass exodus of Aggies to their homes, the beach or the ski slopes. But when they return to their dorms and apartments, will everything still be there? “Crime happens when a per son has the ability, the desire and the opportunity to commit one,” University Police Chief Elmer F. Schneider said. Not much can be done to re duce a person’s ability or desire to steal, but the opportunity can be reduced, he said. Schneider suggested some ways that stu dents can secure their property while they’re away. Doors and windows should be locked on dorm rooms and apartments and roommates need to make sure the last per son to leave double-checks all entryways. Items such as jewelry, radios, expensive textbooks and other small valuables should be taken with the student if possible. “If you can wear it or carry it, then take it with you. That way someone else won’t,” Schneider said. Bicycles should be locked and chained to the bike racks. Don’t rely on simply weaving a chain through the spokes — a free standing bicycle is easier to take than one secured to a stationary object. But don’t use trees or handicap rails as substitute bicy cle racks. crime Schneider said off-campus students who plan to leave their cars may park them in Lot 48, the blue sticker lot behind KAMU-TV station, but should not leave valuables inside the car. Students staying in College Station need to be aware of the reduced population, Schneider said. If a student sees something or someone suspicious, he shouldn’t hesitate to call the police department, he said. “We think it is much better to investigate a report of suspicious activity and find nothing, than have to investigate an incident after it’s happened,” he said. Senate considers lobby issue tonight Student Senators will consider 13 bills at their meeting tonight at 7:30 in 204 Harrington in cluding three from the Legisla tive Study Group. The study group submitted recommendations to the Senate to lobby on higher education fees, the legal drinking age and minority recruitment in the Texas Legislature. The group proposes lob bying for an increase in tuition by a set percentage of prede fined costs, and for the use of funds directly appropriated by the Texas Legislature for minority recruitment. It will lob by against raising the legal drinking age from 19 to 21. The Bicycle Committee has submitted a hill recommending new bicycle registration proce dures, the establishment of cam pus bike paths and bike racks. r i i i 1 i Go Italian with Pasta From: IFAftMEM MMmi 1 BAKERY — DELI OPEN 7 AM — 9 PM MONDAY THRU SATURDAY Orders to Go 779-6428 One Block North of First National Bank First National Bank I B Brazos ^ • Saving. □ .! 2700 Texas Ave. Bryan Manor East Mall TEXAS AVE. rrn Ramada Inn Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired « BRYAN 216 N.
