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.

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.”
