have contradicted Yeltsin, they get
promoted."
Staar said there were instances
where Yeltsin would make a
proclamation, but the Russian mil
itary would not comply.
"When Yeltsin made a state
ment that the 14th Army will
withdraw from Moldova, the
commander of the 14th Army got
up at a press conference and said,
'We may withdraw, but we can't
even think of doing this until
1995.' Was he fired? No, he was
promoted to lieutenant general,"
he said. "This is not uncommon."
Staar said the Russian military
industrial complex also has a con
siderable amount of assets.
"They have enough there to
provide for one fourth of the gross
domestic product," he said. "(The
military industrial complex and
the military leaders) are the ones
who intend to oust Yeltsin, or
make him do their bidding."
Staar said the Clinton adminis
tration is making a mistake in say
ing it supports.Yeltsin.
"The Republican administra
tion put all of its eggs in one bas
ket, and that was Gorbachev," he
said. "We're now putting all of
our cards on one individual,
(Yeltsin)."
However, Reese said, Staar
makes too much out of Clinton's
statements.
"Heads of state meet," Reese
said. "That is what they do. Just
because Clinton wants to have a
summit with Yeltsin doesn't mean
Yeltsin has Clinton's stamp of ap
proval. Who else would Clinton
meet with?"
The United States and Russia
agreed on Feb. 25 to have the first
summit between Clinton and
Yeltsin on April 4 at an as yet
undisclosed ske.
Staar's speech at the conference
for the Southwest Association of
Slavic Studies was co-sponsored
by the departments of modern
and classical languages, history
and political science, the Mosher
Institute and the Military Studies
Institute.
Ceiling

own bosses and run their own
businesses, Kern-Foxworth said.
The flip side is women may stray
away from business altogether
and turn toward other careers
such as nursing or education.
As a consequence, the business
track is hurt even more because
this exodus means fewer mentors
and fewer women in business to
provide encouragement to other
women who want to pursue busi
ness as a career.
"For the longest time women
have had to prove they can do the
work," Britton said, "but attitudes
need to change."
Kern-Foxworth said the prob
lems with former attorney general
nominees Zoe Baird and Kimba
Woods are typical among work
ing mothers.
She said women are not find
ing the panacea they thought they
would find in the business world
because corporate America is not
ready for working mothers or has
not provided benefits such as day
care centers and maternity leave.
But with President Bill Clin
ton's approval of the Family and
Medical Leave Act, that unpre
paredness should change said
Kern-Foxworth.
Some working mothers enter
the "Mommy Track," in which
they leave work for a certain
amount of time — sometimes
years — in order to rear children,
she said.
As a consequence, these
women can expect to lose work
experience, promotions and in
come, she said. This leads many
working mothers to ask the ques
tion, "Is this all really worth it?"
Kern-Foxworth said a double
standard exists among business
men and women in this country.
"Women are judged by a high
er standard than their male coun
terparts," she said. "For example,
it's OK if a man has a heart attack
. . . and takes off three months.
It's like a symbol or badge of
courage, but it's not OK if a
woman takes off three months to
have a baby."
Britton said every person
should have the same chances
based on ability — not race or sex.
Lynda Kilbourne, an A&M
management professor, said there
is definitely value in diversity. It
offers the opportunity to be cre
ative and bring in lots of perspec
tives she said, plus it makes good
business sense.
"In the future, America has to
become more diversity-friendly,
accepting all women and people
of color for the contributions they
have and will make to corporate
America, industry and society/'
she said.
Salaries

size, research and educational op
portunities.
According to this study A&M
salaries were 6 to 9 percent lower
last year than other comparable
institutions around the country.
"Obviously our salaries should
be higher than some, and we
shouldn't be lower than many,"
Gaston said. "Everyone makes a
subjective assessment of where
their salary is. Yet, I haven't had
anyone who thinks theirs should
be any lower."
Faculty salaries are based upon
their appointment as a professor ,
associate professor or assistant
professor. Gaston said A&M fac
ulty are expected to combine re
search with teaching, and their
salaries are built upon their schol
arly reputation.
The highest average faculty
salaries in Texas, based or the
first three faculty ranks, were re
ported by the University of Texas
at Austin, $57,224; Texas A&M
University, $51,280; University of
Houston, $50,763; University of
Houston - Clear Lake, $45,813;
Texas Tech University, $45,571;
and University of Texas at Arling
ton, $45,087.
