"The tremendous variety of practice available to today's nurse certainly is one factor attracting both men and women to nursing," said Penny S. Brooke, assistant dean for student affairs. "Career options arc much broader than ever before. They range from traditional hospital nursing to careen as certified nurse mid wives, community health nurses, nurse practitioners and psychological nurses," the nurse educator said. "Many of the students in our program are registered nurses who have returned to pursue a baccalaureate degree in nursing," Brooke said. "Others arc 'traditional students who arc interested in a career in nursing plus the general educational background provided by a university experience," she said. . "There is a constant demand for nurses in the military and there are some excellent scholarships available. Our Utah College of Nursing has a number of alumni who have made careers in the military, and they say it is a great experience," Brooke said. Students in the baccalaureate program take regular university courses their first two years and then apply for admission to the College of Nursing. Following two years of nursing courses, they graduate with a bachelor of science degree in nursing.

Socialization may be another barrier, with the nuclear family (one breadwinner, traditionally male, and a learned as an American ideal . Hilda Scott, author of The Feminization of Poverty, says traditional female sex roles, in, which women have primary responsibility for children and home, constitute a full-tim- e job. It may be women working outside the home more often find it necessary to take traditional jobs, which credit women with little service-typ- e responsibility for planning, andt offer less money. This dwindling nuclear family dream faces the reality of growing numbers of dual wage earners, single parents, working widows and wives whose husbands arc unemployed. Social scientists have documented the "feminization of poverty": nearly half of all poor families are headed by a woman, says the Center for Philosophy, and Public Policy, It is estimated if women were paid wages that similarly qualifcd men earn, the number of families in poverty could be halved. Women's low pay cannot easily be explained as a response to market forces of supply and demand. For example, according to the American Hospital Association, hospital nursing vacancies are between 65,000 and 70,000 nationwide, while nurses salaries remain depressed. In our market economy, income is not distributed according to any set formula ("to each according to need, merit, effort"), states the Center for Philosophy and Public Policy. Individuals make different choices about how to produce, consume, save and invest. If they produce, two-thir- ds bear. Thayne Robson, professor and director of the U. Business College, said the labor market is "probably the least perfect of all systems," but it is questionable if our economic system can bear pay equity because no one can define it. increases in business costs are Although short-ru- n benefits such as likely, equity proponents expect long-ru- n higher productivity and stronger commitment to offset higher costs, says the Harvard Business Review. Opponents also argue pay equity will harm women by driving up their wages and reducing their employment.

CORPORATION But if the market is supposed to reward people according to choices they make, why are women being paid 59 cents? It seems either women are making wrong choices, or the mechanisms that match choice with reward are out of balance. This is where suggestions of "comparable worth" have come to notice. Why not evaluate jobs based on such factors as training, skills and working conditions, and assign value or "points" to different occupations, say pay equity proponents. of all Americans arc Although more than paid on the basis of a job evaluation plan, assigning point value to a job is a controversial practice in implementing pay equity, says the Harvard Business Review. Critics say this system produces too many subjective judgments and costs will be more than our economic system is able to The National Security Agency analyzes foreign recommend approval of the change, but Clayton said the council has taken no position on the desirability of a separate professional school of accounting. The move nationwide to establish schools of accounting began in the 1960s in Texas and Illinois, but it wasn't until 1973 that the first school was established at Long Island University. As of 1985, several dozen universities-includ- ing most with the highest-ranke- d accounting programs had established such schools. The school of accounting concept had been casually discussed among U. accounting faculty members for many years. However, it wasn't until BYUand Utah State began such programs that the issue was pushed to the forefront of the faculty's concerns. The Board of Regents must now approve the change to a school of accounting before it becomes final, but that approval is expected.
