Women
Continued from page 1
The top 10 occupations for men and women
have a huge salary gap, Bethman said.
“The problem with the earning gap is women
aren’t always as good at negotiating,” Bethman
said. “Also, when you look at women having
children, the gap grows.”
At some point, many women have children
and exit the labor force, making the statistics
favor men in earnings, Rettenmaier said.
“Children take time away from labor force,”
Saving said.
More women also work only part-time, and
there is a small percentage of stay-at-home dads,
Bethman said.
Bethman said that as far as women's atten
dance at universities goes, the gap between
white men and women is not too large, with
only slightly more women than men attending.
Fewer black and Hispanic men attend college,
with gaps approximately 60-40 in favor of
Hispanic women over Hispanic men and 65-35
in favor of black women over black men,
Bethman said.
“In the 1990s, men were more likely to be
able to get decent paying jobs without going to
college than women were,” Bethman said. “Bill
Gates never finished college."
Bethman noted that A&M is an interesting
case because the enrollment between men and
women is close to 50-50. with only the last
few incoming classes having more women

club
Waldo Sebesta, a BARF
member from Snook.
Although the powered chutes
can attain an altitude of 8,000
feet, most of the club members’
flying will be at around 500 feet,
Sebesta said.
People attending Chilifest
are urged to exercise caution
while driving, as well as
patience, Gaas said.
“Parking has always been an
issue, and we really want to
stress to people that they can
use the park and ride,” said
Brandon Wallace of Chilifest
Inc. “This year’s location for
the park and ride is the old Wal-
Mart in Bryan by Gold’s Gym.
We are offering a $5 coupon
that people can use toward the
price of the ticket or merchan
dise there at Chilifest if they use
the park and ride.”
Wallace said that there will
be nine buses running from the
old Wal-Mart to Chilifest from
9 a.m. until everyone has left
the concert.
“I think the park and ride is
a very good idea,” said Kerah
Eldredge, a junior animal sci
ence major from Lubbock.
“The bigger the crowd, the
more fun we have.”
After Chilifest is over, Gaas
said independent contractors are
hired to clean up the trash.
“One year there was a con
tractor who did not fulfill their
duties to clean the area, and
there were some problems
there,” Gaas said.
Josh Isenhour, a second-year
grad student from Lampasas,
said he thinks the size of
Chilifest has become a problem.
“The first year I went. 1 saw
Charlie Daniels, and we all had
a good time; there weren’t that
many people there,” Isenhour
said. “The next year I went, the
line of traffic was several miles
long, so we just turned around
and went back home.”
Despite the crowds, Chilifest
is still expecting to draw a large
number of people. Tickets for
the event can be purchased at
locations listed on its Web site:
www.chilifest.org.
“It’s not the music or the
chili. It’s getting that many
Aggies together in one place
that makes Chilifest so much
fun,” Eldredge said.
