Corporate jobs elude attractive women WASHINGTON (UPI)-The more beautiful a woman, the less likely she is to land a corporate management position and the more likely she is to be put in a "pink collar" job, the author of a new study said yesterday. Thomas Cash, writing in the Decem- ber issue of Psychology Today, said studies show that when women tried for corporate management jobs-a male- dominated field-"the more attractive women ° were discriminated against relative to less attractive women in those managerial applications." CASH, ASSOCIATE professor of psychology at Virginia's Old Dominion University, said in a telephone inter- view that attractive women are "at a real disadvantage when they aspire to occupations in which stereotypically masculine traits-such as being strong, independent and decisive-are thought to be required for success." The flip side, said Cash, is that beautiful women more often get the "pink collar" jobs, ones traditionally dominated by females. "When the job was non- managerial...a clerical position, nur- sing, receptionists, teaching-in that case, when it is perceived as requiring feminine traits for success-attractive women are at an advantage," he said. Cash, who wrote the article with fellow professor Louis Janda, said their studies showed the same held true with appearances and grooming, which con- tribute to gender role stereotyping. The choices made by male and female corporate personnel consultants 't more than 200 corporations on the basis of photographs suggest "that the less feminine the appearance, the more competent the woman, even though the candidates" were considered equally qualified. Cash said a new study not mentioned in the article showed the most attrac- tive candidates tended to get jobs in which "social skills, like relating to customers," were required. "If . people perceive that a management position requires masculine traits, most attractive women are at the disadvantage," the study said. Cash said an attractive woman "ac- ting tough or competent" may get the job over a less attractive candidate because she would "violate expec- tations, stereotypes." The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, December 4, 1984 - Page 3 Page presents MSA case at Union meeting By KERY MURAKAMI Leaders of the Michigan Student Assembly went before the Michigan Union Board of Representatives yesterday to present their side of a recent controversy over who should ap- point students to the board. The board decided to form a commit- tee to look at ways of making the procedure more acceptable to the assembly. "The alumni pick the alumni on the board, the faculty pick the faculty on the board, and MSA should pick the students on the board," said MSA president Scott Page. He said the assembly was afraid the board would choose students likely to conform with the rest of the members. Page also said the assembly was con- cerned about the two groups not working together. He suggested that he and board chairman Michael Perigo, an LSA senior, might work more closely with each other. Student representative to the board David Evans said this was a good op- portunity for the two groups to get together. "We now have two leaders (Page and Perigo), who are not political adversaries." Another representative, David Ber- nstein, added that he had been through the selection process three times and was rejected twice because of tension between the two groups. Perigo said there "must be better relations between the board and the MSA" and said there is room for com- promise in the dispute over board ap- pointments. Duck !

Supreme Court considers school prayer E a{ r d t f a 4 From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - Two of society's major chur- ch-state disputes-whether to allow silent prayer in classrooms and state aid to private and parochial schools - confront the Supreme Court this week. The most volatile topic facing the court is whether to allow prayer back into classrooms. President Reagan has campaigned for a return to prayer in schools, and Congress was considering the issue. THE COURT did agree to examine Alabama's "minute of silence" law, which allows a student to pray, meditate, or reflect. The statute was challenged by a Mobile man, Jehmael Jaffree, who says he does not want his children forced to say prayers in class or grace before meals. The Justice Department will review those arguments today when an official is expected to argue that silent prayer is simply a way for government to allow "both religious and nonreligious introspection in a setting where, ex- perience has shown, many desire it." Tomorrow, the high court will hear arguments in two cases raising a more complex, but potentially more sweeping, issue - how far can a state go in aiding non-public school students? IN OTHER business, the Court said yesterday it will decide whether the federal government is unlawfully discriminating against Haitian refugees. The court's decision, expected by July, will not affect the government's policy of treating most Haitians as economic refugees, rather than political ones, and refusing them asylum. Instead, the justices will focus on arguments that immigration officials treat Haitians differen- tly than other aliens caught while trying to enter the country illegally. Also, the court must decide whether the Food and Drug Administration properly decided it did not have the power to regulate lethal injections in 14 states. Lawyer Stephen Kristovich, arguing in favor of a federal study of lethal injection executions, said the FDA has a legal responsibility to make sure the drug executions are not cruel and unusually painful.

This amendment called for the U.S.S.R. to allow Soviet Jews to leave the country in order to gain a more, favorable trading status with the U.S. The high point of emigration came in 1979 when 51,320 Jews were allowed to leave but the level fell to 21,471 the following year when President Jimmy Carter boycotted the Moscow Olympics in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Exit visas have since slowed to a trickle with 730 Jews being allowed to leave so far this year. "THE ANTI-SEMITIC campaign is Nazi-like," Stern said.

"A few centuries of Jewish history have been erased," he said. Children studying history don't know that Judea ever existed. The holocaust is never mentioned, Jerusalem is not on their maps, no monuments are erected to commemorate concentration camps, and Yiddish art and literature is outlawed, Stern said. The risk of Jews being arrested on exaggerated or false charges is in- creasing, he said. To illustrate this point, Stern pointed to the case of Alexander Kholmiansky, a 34-year-old computer engineer from Moscow who he said was arrested on July 25 on charges of "aggravated hooliganism and mailbox tampering." KGB agents subsequently entered his apartment and allegedly found a loaded gun which sources say was planted at the time of the search. Kholmiansky, a six-year refusenik, has been on a hunger strike since Sep- tember 13 and is being force fed in a Tallinn prison. His wife Tatiana has been on a hunger strike for 45 days to protest the false charges in her husband's arrest, Stern said. Stern compared emigrating from the Soviet Union to "trying to escape from prison." The U.S.S.R. only "acknowledges human rights where there is something to be gained," Stern said. He said that if the United States does not make Jewish immigration a top priority for conditions of trade the plight of the Jews will worsen and many will be killed. Stern is visiting cities around the country pleading for support of Soviet Jews. Out-of-State enrollment discussed (Continued from Page 1) a technicality that was written into the appropriations bill before the "enrollment realities of today" set in. While the University is technically in violation of the act, the legislature seems to have little concern. "We're not going to have a lot of problems with the state over this ... the legislature would cheer us on," Walker said. With a reduced number of available students within the state the University's continued expansion into the out-of-state market would allow the smaller, less prestigious state univer- sities to draw from the graduates within the state. The University could comply with the law by increasing recruitment with in the state, something Walker would like to see.
