Marriage retards female profs’ careers MADISON, Wl (CPSJ - Mar- riage, not sexual discrimination, may be the most important inhibitor of female professors' careers,, according to research by University of Wisconsin socioligist Gerald Marwell. Marvyell, who, along with socioligists Seymour Silerman of Columbia and Rachel. Rosenfeld of the University of Chicago, tried to dinf out why there were so. few women in top academic positions, discovered that women. "often turn down better offers In othe.r cities rather than disrupt their husbands' careers." Xr A few creatures found at the Halloween Disco.

C. "On the other hand," he.added^ "women tend to move with their husbands when .the husbands accept better positio.ns." . Commuter marriages some times help both husband and wife get and hold top-level jobs, but Marwell found they don't "always work out. Eventually, one of them will probably quit his or her job so the couple can be together." Indeed, a University of Michi gan study released last January showed that women college presidents don't usually have much to do with families. Women presidents are much more likely to be single than male college presidents. Most women college presidents say they get "emotional support" from their collegues. Most, male college presidents cite "family" as their major source of emotional support. on their way up the academic ladder. But Marwell. cautioned, that "we're not saying discrimination doesn't exist in academia. What we're saying is. that another reason for the difficulty schools have in recruiting female pro.- fessors is the geographic limi tations marriage places on women." m Read The Columns Mexican trip by Ronnie Lawrence Are you tired of spending your weekends doing nothing?
