Statistically, women remain with a company for 1.3 fewer years than men, Sutton said. Women tend to quit their jobs to raise children or to relocate when their husbands get transferred, she said. However, she said women are chipping away at the inequities in the business world. In 1965 one mil lion women were in executive or managerial positions, whereas in 1985, 4.5 million held these posi tions. She quoted one of her women re spondents, “Women must keep knocking on the door.” She drew attention to the fact that her respondent said knocking, not hanging. Sutton was the lone speaker, but the president of the local chapter of the National Organization for Women, Wendy E. Stock, com mented on some of Sutton’s re marks. The program was sponsored by NOW and Texas A&M’s Associa tion of Professional Women. Stock said she felt she must say some things with which Sutton would probably disagree. She said many women quit work to raise chil dren, but that was the fault of the businesses since most do not supply in-house child care.

Sutton’s information on women executives comes from her master’s thesis, which was published in the September-October 1985 issue of the Harvard Business Review. She said in 1965, 50 percent of the men had unfavorable attitudes about women in executive positions. However, in 1985, less than 5 per cent did. But women’s attitudes have not changed as much, she said. “We may have to work twice as hard as men to earn respect, but we can’t demand it,” she said. She explained that if women de mand respect, people are put off and more ground is lost than gained. Her suggestions for the short run included dressing like a profes sional, acting like a professional and controlling emotions while on the job. And Stock said women should be more vocal in what they feel. Sutton said she advocates change from within. She agreed it would be slower change. However, she added that women can protect their posi tions if they work at equality quietly. After the program, Sutton added that there is nothing wrong with try ing to fit into a male-dominated sec tor. She said if enough women just fit in sooner or later, it will no longer be a male-dominated sector. Sutton said there is enough room for both the quiet and the pushy perspective in the business world. She said she was asked to speak from the business perspective, though. Sutton said job security is lost when the pushing begins. Women should play the business game too — men have been playing it for years, she said. Presently Sutton is working on her doctorate in A&M management. She received her master’s degree, as well as her undergraduate degree, from Baylor University. Top Texas Court abandons 1952 co-insurance decision AUSTIN (AP) — The T exas Su preme Court on Wednesday aban doned a 1952 rule in holding that a woman could recover on a fire insur ance policy, although it was her es tranged husband who had burned their mobile home. Both Betty and John Kulubis were named insureds in the policy with Texas Farm Bureau Underwriters Insurance Co. In 1982, after Mrs. Kulubis filed suit for divorce, her husband set fire to the home, destroying it and all the personal property inside, according to court records. Mrs. Kulubis sued to recover on the policy hut an Austin trial court ruled against her. The 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin affirmed that judgment, with one justice dissent- ing. The appellate decision was based on a 1952 case that held that an ille gal act of one of the co-insureds pre vents recovery by the other co-in sured. ■What s up' Thursday AMERICAN RED CROSS; is accepting donations for the Sausalito th e victims at 207 W. 29th St. in Bryan.
