Science employs fewer women
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Unequal pay and the difficulty of juggling a research career and a family push women scientists and engineers away from jobs in industry, a National Research Council report stated yesterday.
Women make up 45 percent of the total work force but only 12 percent of the scientists and engineers working in industry.
Women tend to choose careers in life sciences, behavioral sciences and
social sciences, fields in which industry plays a fairly small part, the report said. In 1899, 75 percent of science degrees awarded to women were in those fields, compared to 46 percent for men.
The report also found:
—Female scientists are twice as likely as men to leave industry for academic or government work. They also quit twice as often as their female counterparts in government.
an male salary, $32,800 vs. $39,000.
—At $21,000, the median salary of women scientists with bachelor's degrees and up to two years' experience was 73 percent that of their male colleagues in 1990. Those with doctorates made 88 percent of the medispring air twin mattress

—Corporations make it difficult for female scientists to juggle career and family. The council recommended that companies offer higher quality day-care and flexible work schedules so women don't lose their edge by taking lengthy maternity leave.

THE NEWS in brief
Camipt, 73, a former governor of Italy's central bank and the country's first premier not aligned with a political party, saw himself as a transitional figure. In his eight months in office, he pushed through electoral reforms and started selling off state-owned industries at the heart of the nation's patronage system.
The Associated Press
Premier Carlo Ciampi resigned yesterday, opening the way for parliamentary elections that are expected to oust the scandal-scarred parties that have dominated Italy for five decades.
President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro planned to meet today with the leaders of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, a necessary step before dissolving Parliament.
The period was marked by a change to direct elections of individual lawmakers and the widening of investigations in a corruption scandal that has implicated most of Italy's political and business elite.

Amid government reform Italy's premier resigns making way for elections
That would bring on the elections foreseen as the culmination of a year of reform.
In local elections in December, voters handed humiliating defeats to the Christian Democrats, Socialists and smaller allies that have governed since World War II but have been entangled in corruption investigations.
The former Communists and other leftist parties and pro-reform groups such as the separatist Northern League are poised to be the new power brokers.
Ciampi's departure was widely expected. On taking
office in April as head of Italy's 52nd government since World War II, he set his main tasks as fiscal and electoral reform.
Luxembourg donates flood aid
A $70,000 donation to Elwood will mean new school playground equipment and maybe a new city park.
ELWOOD, Kan. — American soldiers liberated Luxembourg in both World Wars, and now the small European nation has come to the aid of the Midwest, raising $370,000 for flood relief.

In Missouri, Missouri City and West Alton also will receive donations.
The Christian Democrats and their allies wanted to delay elections to give themselves a chance to regroup. The disbanding of Parliament also would mean members under investigation would lose their parliamentary immunity from prosecution.

Schaeffer and visiting Luxembourg residents took a trip to Elwood in early December and decided the community could use their help.
The "Hands Across the Atlantic: Luxembourg Relief Fund" project was the idea of Robert Schaeffer, Luxembourg's consul general for a seven-state region based in Kansas City, Mo.
Schaeffer put out the call for donations in Luxembourg, appealing to Luxembourg citizens' memories of American help during World War I and World War II.
The $370,000 collected represents nearly $1 for each citizen of the country.
