Record no. of grads go to college

Editor's note: For your infor­mation, the following article was reprinted with permission from the American Council on Educa­tion newsletter Higher Education and National Affairs.

A record 58 percent of the na­tion's 1985 high school graduates went on to college, and most other high school graduates were able to find a job, according to a recent Labor Department report.

But students who dropped out of high school during the 1984-85 school year did not do well in the job market; only 62 percent were working in October 1985, the report said.

And while women high school graduates going on to college slightly outnumbered men, the proportion of blacks attending college was only 42 percent.

The proportion of high school students going on to college has been rising since the 1970s, when it hovered around 50 percent to 52 percent, reaching 55 percent in 1984.

The Labor Department study found that nearly 2.7 million young people graduated high school in 1985.

Focus on FacultY�������������� EMU'S Martin sheds light on women judges

Dr. Elaine Martin, assistant professor of political science, studies the different perspectives women judges bring to the bench.

"Females judges are very often the only women in their court systems. They're tokens, and it may make them afraid to take innovative stands," said Dr. F. Elaine Martin, EMU assistant professor of political science.

For four years now, Martin, 45, has studied the role of women judges in the courts and is the reci­pient of a 1986-87 EMU faculty fellowship for her research.

"A woman judge hearing a case, for example, on sexual discrimination is going to have a different perspective than a man would," said Martin. "But the issue of gender difference isn't that simple," she added, "because the female judge "also" is a lawyer and has had the same education and training as the male judge. The question is, then, which is more important - her socialization as a lawyer or her socialization as a woman?"

As part of her fellowship, Martin addressed that question and others at the Eighth Annual Con­ference of the National Association of Women Judges in Florida last year. There, she conducted several personal interviews and distributed a ques­tionnaire to all of the conference participants.

In the questionnaire, Martin focused on the im­portance of being in a support group like the association. "I want to see if women who belong to the organization are going to be more likely to make positive or strong decisions jn favor of women's issues," she said. "For example, we've found that with state legislative women, belonging to a support network of some kind makes them more willing to become activists in getting women's issues passed."

Martin is not teaching this semester so she can concentrate on her study. She is mailing the same questionnaires to "all" female judges and to a matched sample of male judges. Then, she will in­volve herself in direct gender comparisons as well as look for differences between members and non­members of the NAW J.

Later this year, Martin will write a paper on her

findings for presentation and publication. Martin became interested in the role of women

judges when President Jimmy Carter appointed 41 female federal judges; there had been only eight of them prior to Carter's administration in U.S. history. To date, President Ronald Reagan has ap­pointed 15 women, including Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman Supreme Court justice. "The im­plication is that the obstacles have broken down," said Martin. "Women will continue to be ap­pointed."

At present, approximately 55, or IO percent, of all federal judges are female and approximately 1,000, or eight percent, of state judges are female.

Martin earned her bachelor's, master's and doc­toral degrees from the University of Oklahoma. Before arriving at Eastern, she taught at the Univer­sity of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City University, Mankato State College in Minnesota and Albion College. She also was a city planner in southern California prior to attending graduate school.

Her husband, Dr. Charles Schutz, also is a political science professor at Albion College.

Martin enjoys traveling and has been to the British Isles and Mexico several times. "We really like to go to little out-of-the-way kinds of places," she said, describing a trip to the Isles during which she and her husband traveled 50 miles per day for three weeks on bicycles. "We saw no cathedrals, museums or tourist traps but were in little villages and stayed in pubs and 'bed and breakfasts' . . . We really saw the country."

Martin admits she enjoys gourmet cooking "and" eating, which is why she makes exercise a "must." She attends an aerobic dance class four days per week and walks four miles daily.

Physical fitness has become a part of life for Martin and her family. Her five-year-old daughter has been riding a bike since she was three. "She bicycles, I walk, my husband jogs . . . and the dog runs alongside us," Martin said.
