Page 8/The Battalion/Wednesday, January 16, 1987 Report: Saying ‘I do’ to college doesn’t mean ‘no’ to marriage WASHINGTON (AP) — Going to college no longer dims a woman’s chances for marriage and family, and additional schooling, in fact, is likely to increase her matrimonial prospects, a new study says. Censys Bureau researcher Jeanne E. Moorman reported Tuesday that the “negative association” between marriage and education seems to be diminishing, and in coming years “more highly educated women will be more likely to marry.” Her findings differ sharply from a study published by Yale University researchers last year that indicated that women’s marriage prospects dimmed as they pursued educations, and careers. In terms of combining marriage with educations and careers, women are learning to behave more like men — no longer having to choose among those options, Moorman said. Although better-educated women have had lower marriage rates than those with less schooling in past years, the negative association be tween education and marriage ap pears on the verge of ending or re versing, Moorman reported in her study, “The History and the Future of the Relationship Between Educa tion and Marriage.” Moorman found that while going to college may delay marriage, it seems likely to improve a woman’s prospects for her eventually being wed. That, she said in a telephone in terview, is because higher education is becoming more the norm than the exception for women, allowing edu cation to become a more common part of their lives and to blend with family and marriage. Women now in the 30-35 age group may well be the last group for which a negative relationship be tween education and marriage will exist, she said, and even for them the effect is minimal. Moorman launched her research last year, following the widely publi cized study by Yale sociologist Neil Bennett that found that if a college woman wasn’t wed by age 30, she stood little chance of ever being mar ried. Bennett speculated that women had begun sacrificing marriage for their careers and educations and suggested that college-educated women who reach the age of 30 without marrying stand only a 20 percent chance of ever being wed. Moorman, also analyzing Gensus Bureau statistics, concluded that those women actually have a 66 per cent chance of finding a husband. The fact that women have been marrying at lower rates as they go to college and begin working is widely documented, with many women choosing to cohabit rather than en ter into a formal marriage. Judge sentences aging mob bosses to 100 years each NEW YORK (AP) — Three of the Mafia’s top bosses were sentenced Tuesday to 100 years each in jail by a federal judge who said he wanted to give their would-be successors some thing to think about. The bosses of the Colombo, Geno vese and Lucchese organized crime families received the century-long terms for membership on a commis sion that had settled disputes, di vided loot and occasionally ordered rubouts for the Mafia since Prohibi tion. U.S. District Judge Richard Owen said he had to send a message “to those out there who are undoubt- edl\ thinking about taking overtlJ reins of power.” And authoriiiri cautioned that the convictions anJ sentem ings did not mean iheendol the mob in America. “The worst mistake we can malJ is to declare a final victory,”Thoitiil L. Sheer, head of the FBI’s NeJ York office, said following thescrrl tencing of the bosses and five mcil underlings at federal court in Marl hattan.

Tony" Salerno, 76, applied; WASHINGTON (AP) — The Reagan ad ministration has not decided whether to op pose efforts by Democrats to raise the mini mum wage, which has been $3.35 an hour since 1981, Labor Secretary William E. Brock III said Tuesday. But Brock indicated a willingness to nego tiate on legislation to make employers give advance notice of plant closings when the law makers consider Reagan’s program to triple aid for retraining laid-off factory workers. In a study last year, the congressional Of fice of Technology Assessment said fewer than half of the 2 million Americans thrown out of work annually by such closings get more than two weeks notice, making it vir tually impossible to provide them with timely help in finding or training for new jobs. “I’m sure we can negotiate something,” Brock said when asked about an announce ment Monday by Reps. William Ford, D- Mich., William Clay, D-Mo., and Silvio Conte, R-Mass., that they intend to make mandatory notification a part of Reagan’s $1 billion job retraining program. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., chair man of the Senate labor panel, indicated for the first time publicly Tuesday that increasing the minimum wage will be part of the agenda. “A person who worked full time, all year at the minimum wage would earn $6,700 — $3,000 short of the poverty line for a family of four,” Kennedy said. “It is not a living wage, and it is not a decent society in which a full-time job means a lifetime in poverty.” During Reagan’s first term, the administra tion tried unsuccessfully to cut the minimum wage for teen-agers to $2.50 an hour, saving it would help reduce unemployment among black youths in cities. Brock sidestepped a direct question from Kennedy on whether he would support rais ing the $3.35 minimum now. “I’m not sure changing that law is the fun damental answer to the problem.” Brock said. “There is a danger that a substantial increase of the minimum wage would result in a loss of employment for those who don’t have skills.” “You, dully spe ing this c gain," he to The othc a century Persico. 53 and Ant hoi 73, the lx>s!i sir, in my opinion, esst nt all your lifetime terror otumunity to your finant told Salerno. r (< >p b sscs sentence >1 tl ( >\ Per: d tin Carmine “JunH I of the (lolonifc my Ducks" Con |e Lucchese mob. terized Salerno j ling on this conn nit (let s and violei I nun (lets and ‘ Welcome Back Aggies Wickes Lumber 11 ’ x 7’ Loft Package li'o"- Hollow Cinder Blocks $1. 16 ea. 8x8x16 Brass Shelving Clips • T’s - L’s - X’s • Bright Brass • Fits 3/4” Shelf Boards • Shelf units can be as sembled and disas sembled in minutes unassembled Complete with plans and assembly instructions We Cut Lumber - Doesn’t Cost Much -Saves You Time Pine Boards • Smooth on all sides • Easily painted or stained 1x12-4 $3. 5S 1x12-6 $5.* s 1x12-8 $6. 9!
