Network, February 1982

The Network magazine (1978-1989) published through the Phoenix Center was a women's magazine created by Mary Gaber, Jinnah Kelson, and Lynne Van Dam who saw the need for an intelligent magazine that would address women's issues and appeal to women in Utah, whether they were in the business world or not.

I have never seen the logic and agony put so well. I just wish reality conformed with your concerns and desires. The United States was late ( and unprepared) in getting into both World Wars and really didn't get involved until forced to, although our close, ethnic ties with Europe were a factor. It wasn't fun for the mothers to hang blue star flags on their windows, and few men enjoyed Guadalcanal or North Africa or the Bulge. We hoped we had learned some lessons for good: 1. If someone is intent on war you cannot negotiate peace from • weakness. 2. Aggression must be stopped anywhere before it spreads. 3. Few people will attack the bigger guy, and the defense forces must be immediately available. These lessons led us to take some • postwar actions that were vecy significant, and sometimes controversial. 1. Maintaining militacy forces, in alliance with others, so strong that no one dared attack. How mu.ch is strong enough? 2. Getting involved in Korea and Vietnam to "stop aggression before it spreads." Our first shock occurred when our "ally," the Soviet Union,increased their forces in Europe while we were disarming like crazy. Berlin troubles followed, and then Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. These situations were real and the Soviet effort at hege:mony and its ideological mission were real, and still are. (Poland.) Our problem, then, is as you expressed in·your article and so clearly. But it is naive to think that it can be negotiated away or unilaterally ended by disarming. We must be strong-and that strength has to lie in the mind of the opposing force. The other question is: Is freedom worth dying for? Many people in the past felt so. For example, the editor of Network would be one of the first ones executed or put in a "thought" camp in South Vietnam. I was in Cuba when Batista was in power, and the sense of police power and lack of freedom was pervasive and scary. I think Karen Shepherd would be on the front lines. Allan Fechsu Salt Lake City INSENSITIVITY SHOWS Recently I had occasion to write to a number of people listed in The Index, in search of certain kinds of services.

KAREN SBEPREBD Many people these days are at least minimally involved in the democratic process. Those of us who care about the future need to be informed, to vote, to support causes which seem worthy. Indeed, this is an age of a bewildering variety of energetic, sometimes frantic, social movements all working to control the present in order to have some influence on the future. One of the must crucial decisions now being made will determine how we educate our children as we prepare them to be the leaders and citizens of tomorrow. To my way of thinking, living in a world that is changing as fast as ours requires that people be both creative and flexible and that they hold values for the worth of each individual. As we approach the future, it is, of course, important to glean lasting values and lessons from the past. Taking the best and the most relevant forward with us as we face the issues of the future is different from clinging to comfortable, old values even when they no longer help us to cope effectively with our lives. To be specific, an educational program which places limitations on the information available to students, in effect, limits the options available to solve problems or to understand issues. Such a program blocks creative thinking and will cripple their capability to be effective problem solvers.

As I drove down University Avenue, raindrops splashed against the windshield. The electricity had been knocked out in that part of town, leaving the intersections dogged with nervous drivers. I parked my car and hurried through the rain to a meeting of the Alice Louise Reynolds Forum at the home of one of its most distinguished members. Algie Ballif lives in a stately brick home in the heart of the city, close to the Brigham Young University campus and downtown Provo. She has spent many of her more than eighty years involved in campus, community, and religious affairs in Provo and through it all has maintained a dedicated interest They have been bonded by a sense of common purpose, and, sometimes, of common suffering. in women's rights. Appointed by President Kennedy to serve on his commission on the status of women, Algie has for years been an active supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. Ballif is one of the founding members of the Alice Louise Reynolds Forum, and it was at her home that rainy evening that the members of the forum met to make plans for the future. The living room, lit by candles in the absence of electric power, held twelve women. I knew only a few, but I quickly felt comfortable in the warmth and affection that filled the room.

Once a month, from September to June, the group holds a meeting that is open to the public. The women of the forum invite speakers who can address issues of special interest to women. These meetings are unique in this conservative area of Utah, known for being closed to new ideas. In addition to being thought-provoking and informative, the forum meetings provide an opportunity for feminists to meet and form friendships.

These wome1'. continue to provide the energy which helps the Alice Louise Reynolds Fonun flourish in Utah County. NETWORK,FEBRUARY1982•5 The forum was originally formed out of frustration and despair. The International Women's Year Convention, held in Salt Lake City iri 1977, made Utah's feminists aware of the power and hostility of the anti-feminist movement. After the shock of that convention, in an effort to begin a process of healing, Fem Tuylor, Anna Tuylor, and Algie Ballif hosted a luncheon at Anna Tu.ylor's home. They met to honor Jan 'fyler, who had served as chairperson for the IWY Convention. After these women had shared their feelings and experiences, they decided to meet again. The first meetings were primarily social. A few of the women left the group, others joined. As the identity of the group strengthened, its identity formed and Reba Keele suggested they declare themselves a chapter of the Alice Louise Reynolds Club. The suggestion reached into the past of several of the group. Alice Louise Reynolds had taught at BYU when the school was young. She founded the English department, played an important role in establishing the library, and served as a role model for many women students. Her -enthusiasm for literature inspired Hoping to fill a void in this conservative Utah valley, the women decided to open their meetings to the public in March 1978, and two months later announced their meeting in the local Provo newspaper. The scheduled speakers were Loneta Murphy and Jan 'fyler. The subject was sex discrimination. Officials at BYU banned the meeting from campus, declaring the ERA and sex discrimination too controversial for campus discussion. The meeting was hastily moved to the Provo Library. The group was disheartened, but did not disband. The calling list for meetings grew from fourteen names to over a hundred and since then many filled-to-capacity meetings have been held. Committed to learning, growing, and understanding, the forum has sponsored notable speakers covering topics such as sex discrimination, being black in Utah, family planning, rape , humanism, and sexism in school texts. The group shuns a formal hierarchal structure. There is no president and there are no written rules. The group refers to itself as "fluid."

Prior to announcing her decision, Farley had maintained that if her supporters could raise $25,000 in campaign contributions by January 26th, she would take on Marriott rather than seek re-election to the state senate. According to Farley, by the 26th deadline she had raised nearly $30,000, almost entirely through word-ofmouth. The last candidate to challenge Marriott was able to raise only $27,000 during the entire campaign, compared to Marriott's $347,000, she said. "It's been an overwhelming groundswell of tangible support. I feel a responsibility to fulfill the faith in me." She will propose a limit on campaign spending, she says, noting that the current amount of spending for congressional office has become "outrageous," and will , encourage the media to provide more forums throughout the campaign to allow the public to become better acquainted with both candidates. PSYCHOLOGISTS LOOK AT BEAUTY A new study by Psychologist Marsha B. Jacobsen, suggests that jurors in rape cases may go easier on attractive defendants and harder on unattractive victims. In a study in which a mock rape victim positively identified her assailant to a subject jury, while the assailant maintained his innocence, the University of Dayton researcher found that 82 percent of the jurors who encountered an unattractive suspect found him guilty, compared to only 57 percent for an attractive suspect. Once convicted, attractive rapist was likely to receive a lighter sentence than an unattractive one--14 years to 10 years. Attractive and unattractive suspects were both more likely to be found guilty when paired with a prettier victim. The strain of being judged by one's looks is particular- an NOTHING .NEW: THEWARON POVERTYHAS AMALEBL\S A new study by the National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity, "Women and Children: Alone and in Poverty," indicates that although two out of three poor adults are women, m0st efforts to lift them off welfare will fail because the programs are designed for men. While the number of poor families headed by males dropped between 1969 and 1978, the number headed by women jumped from 1.8 to 2.7 million, and the proportion is likely to increase, according to Diana Pearce, co-author of the study. "Basically, I think the aim of welfare programs is to make a woman's life so miserable that a miserable marriage seems the most viable alternative," she said. "They are clearly not aimed at making a woman economically independent or enabling them to become economically independent."

In his study, female high school and college students who • were rated attractive had significantly lower blood pressure than those rated unattractive. The difference did not turn up, however, in teenage boys, or in adult men or women. Psychologist Phyllis Betman says that aging women lose their beauty in men's eyes by convention, rather , than by conviction. According to her study, men rated middle:-aged women's looks less attractive than those of men of the same age only when they had to give • their opinion publicly to other men. Those who rated the same women privately said just the reverse-they considered middle-aged women more attractive than men who were the same age.

According to a government economist, the work of an "average" homemaker-care and feeding of kids and spouse, shopping, repairs, mending, housework, etc.-is worth $12,500 per year. The work of a "super" homemaker, however, may b.e worth double that or more. A woman who works outside the home puts in more hours than the average man in combined job/ house work, according to the same economist. A fulltime working woman toils 66.9 hours weekly, including close to $6,000 per year's worth of housework, compared to 63 hours per week for the average full-time working man, including almost 12 hours a week of housework.

Gruff with patients, she has a sargeant's voice and is the type who wouJd show distain for a woman moaning in pain during labor; she herself has gone through labor twice without anesthetics, a doctor, or a hospital. This formidable stereotype may be the most common portrait of a woman as doctor. Before I did the interviews for this story, it was my stereotype too. I have to wonder at my belief, since I have grown up as the women's movement has been teaching us that women are as capable as men. Still, Iwouldn't have submitted my body to the unsympathetic competency of the i female/Roman general described I above. Who would? Yet, I won; dered, how many people must share 1 my grim vision? I Happily, I have disproven my own stereotype and am here to say that women doctors, if the crop I interviewed can be taken as typical, are not rough imitations of men. In becoming doctors they have clearly not given up being women. Indeed, I can now hope that the field of medicine might once again become a human, rather than an almost purely technical discipline. They are the survivors of perhaps the most difficult of all courses of study, and I wanted to ask them how they managed in that relentless male world. Listening to them look back on their experiences, I was struck by their need for emotional economy. Except for a few isolated incidents, they say they were treated as well as the men. They tried, as a survival strategy, not Gail Jansen Radiologist Dr. Anne Osltorn liked the hard work and coapetiti-veness of aedical sehooL even liked medical school and says that men and women were treated pretty much alike. "They didn't ask us to do anything more. ·Everyone had to do the same horrendous things." She also describes ignoring incidents that might have upset her like the famous "annual breast lecture" given by Dr. Hashimoto, University of Utah Medical School, who used Pl,ayboy pin-ups as visual aids. "I just tried to have fun," she says. I was struck by their need for emotional economy. to focus on the differences. Being personally sensitive to unconscious or even conscious discrimination would have siphoned off vital energy they needed to succeed. Dr. Terri Aagaard, an emergency room physician at Lake View Hospital, roared up late to our interview in a fast, expensive foreign car. Looking, with her long brown hair, more like a cheerleader than a physician, she helped me and her two small children up the steps and into the house. She decided to be a doctor when she was eight years old, she says. Mothering had sounded boring to her, as a child growing up in Logan. She had seen something "magical" about doctors. "I kept thinking I would turn 'wonderlul' when I got my degree," she smiles. Her life is not lived strictly at the professional level...I love being a woman, being feminine, being a mother and a wife ... I'm not sure I would choose medicine again, but now I feel I have to practice. I took someone else's place in school." Nor does she feel she can take time off now and return to her practice when her children are older: ''I'd lose my skills, the information changes so fast." Aagaard seems every bit a person who will make the most and the best of any situation. She claims to have Still, she had her share of experiences that could have happened only to a woman. Once, while interviewing for a residency she eventually accepted in Indiana, the doctor interviewing her asked whether she would still practice if she had a retarded child. "I hated him for that, but he ended up being my favorite person." In another interview for a residency position in San Diego, Aagaard was told, "We don't need to accept you. We've already accepted a woman and she's black, so we've filled two quotas." Neither experience made Aagaard bitter. She concludes about life that "if you have a positive, happy attitude, people have to try hard to get you down." It was difficult not to be intimidated by the classic, tailored figure of Dr. Anne Osborn, associate professor of radiology and assistant dean of medical education at the University of Utah Medical School. Watching her coolly authoritative manner with her colleagues made me scramble frantically for brilliant, dazzling questions. I didn't want to waste her time. It was a h~ctic interview as I followed her and a male intern around a room filled with the mysterious, terrifying machines known only to radiologists. She had liked medical school. "I enjoyed the hard work, the competitiveness. It didn't bother me at all." Had it made a They respond to my human qualities eventually." And, she adds, "I difference being a woman?

Dr. Susan Mirow, who, in addition to being a physician, has a Ph.D. in anatomy, was thoughtful about her life as a physician and a single woman. "Many people are intimidated by doctors," she says. When Mirow meets someone at a party, she never tells them she's a, doctor; instead she says, "I work in a hospital." As the first woman to be clinical director for the Utah State Hospital and as a psychiatrist, Mirow talks about her experiences at the hospital. She supervises a totally male staff, many of whom are also doctors. "People get used to you after a while," she says. "They say, 'she's competent, likable.' few role models and so little support. I realized, as I reflected on the experiences of Mirow, how few women as doctors or students had "wives" to smooth life out for them. These are women who, of necessity, do it all themselves. Where, I began to ask myself, is there room for the "ordinary" doctor? Dr. Martha Humphrey, an internist just entering private practice, is another extraordinary woman who could remember no real problems in medical school, though she finds herself less certain about her future private practice. "The real acid test is whether or not you'll be accepted by your colleagues; whether or not they will refer you patients." Humphrey's husband is also a doctor so she has his / The Practice Of Medicine: Still No Plac~ For The Ordinary Woman. . ,. "If you think you're okay and believe it, then other people will accept it.

Remembering medical school, Humphrey says being a woman helped in an ironic way. "The • rewards are for the obedient and useful. Many men chaffed at doing the 'scut' work and having to do what they were told. Medical students are rewarded for being good slaves. Many women could take the position more gracefully. They wouldn't openly rebel." In fact, she continues, the surgeons in her medical school "appreciated women students who were interested and who flattered them." She recalls a small furor when the chief of general surgery was looking over the list of students who had been chosen-as first assistants in surgery. "Most of them were women," she says. "Surgeons favor people who are interested, helpful and who work hard. Women may be better prepared for this." Dr. Laura Fife and I met onlyon the phone. She is working in her residency through the University of Massachusetts in Boston and enjoying every minute of it. Looking back on her years at medical school at the University of Utah, Fife recalls it was tougher for women there than elsewhere. She believes the difference is in numbers. "Because there were so few women, I felt I was an oddball," she says. "I always felt noticeable; that they were watching women more closely." Speaking of the same kinds of "isolated incidents" of discrimination tha,t the other doctors have men- tioned, Fife speaks of how she dealt • with them. She and several other women students would simply go talk to the professor involved. "In most cases that took care of the problem," she says. Working in Boston is a refreshing experience for Fife. The environment is strikingly different. "There are so many women physicians that being a woman is not an issue here," she says, tossing in the fact that 50 percent of the first year medical students at the University of Massachusetts are women. 'Tm respected for my ability as a person. I never encounter any prejudicial thinking on the part of my peers," she says. It is only with patients that she experiences resistence. "It's especially the older patients. Still, it's a rare patient who will refuse to see a woman doctor." Will she return to Utah to practice? "No," she says, "I really believe that it is different in Utah.

We all have known at least one--the wife of the corporate executive on the way up the corporate ladder. She has moved four to six times in 10 to 15 years, has given birth in St. Louis, Seattle, and Daytona, has established networks so many times her Christmas card list looks like a dental office billing, and has dealt with so many moving estimates that she knows the girth and weight of each of her personal possessions. As discussed last month in this column, the corporate wife is gradually giving way to the corporate spouse--employment offers to relocate are being made in today's work world to both partners. The pressures faced by couples in a dual career situation are enormous, yet corporate America has no standardized response or assistance to couples in a dual career squeeze. Family problems receive little tangible assistance , from employers. The impact of relocation on each l:)artner's career is difficult to measure: Whose career takes priority becomes the question, according to Christy Z. Lueder in the October 1981 issue of Mining Engineering. Her research of female mining engineers was very pointed and clear. All B.S. graduates from 17 universities in mining, mineral engineering, and extractive metallurgy from 1960 to 1970 were surveyed with nearly~60 percent responding. Fifty percent of the women said transfers or job offers would be examined on a case-by-case basis, weighing pros and cons for both parties. The husband's career took priority with 47 percent of the women; their own careers with only three percent. These statistics conflict with comments from two employee relations managers, however. Both said most female engineers they've encountered are married to men who follow their wife's career. Another variable in this particular survey which is uncommon to most other career couples was that 70 percent ·o f the married respondents said their husbands were also engineers. Some male and female engineers met on the job; others joined the company as a package deal. When both partners share a particular profession, relocation problems can be eased, since a company which offers a job to one can often provide a spot for the other. The company gets two new hires for the relocation cost of one. The real stress to relationships exists when a package is not so attractive and the company can or will not offer assistance. In the case of Jim and Kay, the traditional roles were reversed successfully. Kay, who was in her early 40s and a recent college graduate, was recruited for a management position in a distant Montana town. Her already successful spouse agreed that sh~ should accept the offer. Jim anticipated finding a new position quickly when the couple moved. But two years later he still had found no eqlployment. The strength of the marriage was tested repeatedly during Jim's extended unemployment, the couple agrees. Their situation was saved when Kay accepted the first available position in a much larger city where Jim secured a professional position on his first day in town. Would they do it again? Yes, says the couple, hesitantly. Even though the financial ' and emotional costs were very high, the risk was rewarded; both partners now have positions they value and a marriage that survives. In another relocation case, a Utah woman was approached by a previous administration to accept a White House appointment. During the negotiation process, the Washington staff questioned her on the employment needs of her spouse. Included as a part of her offer was an offer of employment with a suitable agency for him. Unfortunately, this kind of cooperation is rare. Eyidence suggests that couples cope on their own without much external support. Relocation is one of the most difficult problems for two career couples. The resources available to meet the challenges of this problem center on the resources of the couples involved. The consequertce of a relocation crunch for a couple can be either a strengthened or·a weakened relationship. Rarely does an employer suffer equivalent consequences.

Helene Holt and her group might argue, along with Max Raff~rty, that fifty years ago kids learned how to read and write in school because those who didn't were expelled or strapped. Now too many leave high school without those basic skills, they say, and the reason the standards have slipped is that educational methods have become soft and permissive. They blame the educational system for the failure, rather than the role it . plays in society. Fifty years ago the public school system did not try to educate everybody. The hard cases simply never finished high school and no one cared. Since World War II, the goal has been for every child in America to receive a complete public education. Nice goal. Lots of children don't fit. To meet the challenge, educational thinkers began to study why and in ~hat circumstances people learn. Thanks to the research on the psychology of learning and to contributions from scholars like John Dewey and Carl Rogers (both of whom Holt holds deeply suspect), we have some objective knowledge about the learning process. Researcher Edgar Dale, for example, demonstrated conclusively that we forget 90 percent of what we read, 80 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, and 50 percent of what we hear and see. By contrast, we remember 70 percent of what we say and write and 90 percent of what we say while we are experiencing something. Neither adults nor children are "sponges" and the book and lecture method of thinking is the least effective for most of us. Talking and doing are best. Now that we know this, what sort of antediluvian logic is it that would make us deny what we've learned? It «:ONTINlJED TO PAGE 20 Close, Natural, .

Northwest Corner Trolley Square BY C:ARMA PRESC:O'IT I never wanted to be a feminist. Feminists are angry. I thought if I avoided the label, I would also avoid the anger. And I don't wear lables well. They seem to slip around on me, binding my movements, tipping my balance toward precariousness. So when anyone asked, I said "no." Of course, that was before yesterday: Yesterday, I sat in a group of women over lunch who laughed at rape, thought "seduction" a better description than "force," and joked that female interest in the subject was the result of wishful thinking. I had no answer, hypocrite that I am, all the while watching the sweet teenager just to the left of my eyes who had been raped last month. The part of me that wants all the world to be carefree and filled with glee, smiled at that chatter, while the rest of me watched her labored intake of tainted air. She has talked with me. I know she was intimately desecrated in the most violent way possible and now lives without the right to be angry. She, the victim, pays for the crime. Someone should be angry. Yesterday I counseled a disturbed child trying to find safety in the student's life. She believes that the dead will protect her at night but can find no s~curity for the day in the cruel and thoughtless world of peers. She wants to be valuable by being the nurturer, my mother~child. She thinks "it's wrong for -h er brothers and father to live without a girl to cook and wash for them." And me? I think it's wrong that a confused fourteen-year-old must concern herself with the "feeding and care" of the American male in order to have enough value to exist. How long before she abandons them like the alcoholic mother who came before, because her homemaking skills and their reward is not enough? Or will they abandon her because her homemaking will be interlaced with the terror, and also the chann of a fantasy world where the dead walk with the living, and power comes from sleeping under an inverted cross? My homemaker isn't angry. Sh~ is trying very hard to learn all the talents and techniques that will allow her to take care of people, hoping they in tum will care for her. She will be good at "mothering." She has to be in order to survive. She isn't angry, but someone must be. Yesterday I sat in a staff meeting of professionals who reminded me "college isn't as important for girls because they'll never finish and are only looking for husbands anyway." .MY counseling colleague, who has a daughter of his own, smirked at the things "gals" want to study, and then refused to discuss a math scholarship with female students because "boys are naturally better." I listen to the "good-oldboy" talk about the "little woman" at home and know that these women who have consented to so much are validated so little. Perhaps I could be a little angry. And finally yesterday, a mother and two daughters appeared at the door to my office. They want consideration from the principal, and she wants to know what .extraordinary, magical words will make him listen. The husband and father cannot be here, and she, who has taken these two daughters ~d three sons through illness and sorrow; the difficulty of childhood, the trauma of adolescence, does not know how to stand before a male authority and say "my daughters have the right to a good education and we would prefer another teacher who is more challenging." She's afraid to do that because she is only a housewife. For sixteen to twenty hours a day, she is an "only." And sadly for me, I know that this woman feels no connection to me, my professional, competent self. Nevertheless, I too have moments when I feel an "only." Yes, I am angry. When I am asked again, "When did you start to call yourself a feminist?" I shall smile, and say, "Yesterday." Reluctant, but I will consent to wear the label. Today, I have enough anger.

Perhaps Holt and her committee haveonlysecondhandexperienceon which to base their opinions. As a teacher of 11 years, I experimented with dozens of teaching methods. In the beginning, I taught with a whip and chair in the most authoritarian, strict academic approach I could muster. Gradually, as my experience accumulated and confidence grew, my methods changed to permit the students to contribute to the knowledge we gathered together in the classroom. I learned a lot and I am positive they learned more than when I had been my own version of Mrs. Grundy. In my last teaching job as an instructor of English literature and composition in the late 60s and early 70s; I saw all kinds of students and together we discussed all kinds of issues. It was a process in which they stated their opinions, got new information, heard.one another's opinions and came to their own personal decisions. In the process they frequently told about themselves, described feelings. Unfortunately, I had many students who had no interest in either talking or hearing. They lacked curiosity and gave little credence to others' points of view. What they knew, they knew. For what they didn't know, they asked for the right answers so that they could repeat them back to me. Despite all my efforts to stimulate intellectual interest, more students than I want to admit left my classes having had scarcely a thought of their own. They were people functioning on.borrowed ideas. They knew how to memorize but they had never learned to think. They had the will to defend what they had already been told to believe but they lacked the resources to sort through data and opinion and make their own decisions. In all certainty, they are now, as adults, vulnerable to the clever manipulations of any appropriately vested authority. The Family Protection Act is now before the finance committee in the U.S. Senate. Part of its purpose is to take discussion, investigation of current value-shifts and individual feelings out the school. The threat is real and those of us who care about the future must voice our opposition to this absurd attempt to hang onto the past. If we want our children to be thinkers, they must understand their world.

Have you decided that you want a "new you," but the "old you" is in financial shock. Wouldn't it be great if you could buy all kinds of things at less than retail prices? Well, take heart, because you can. Like everything else, bargain hunting is its own science and a good hunter knows the basics. Where to begin? Examine your present wardrobe. Putting sentimentality aside, weed out all the clothes that no longer fit or that haven't been worn for years. If these store. In many cases the merchandise is of lower quality, but good buys can be found in children's wear, underwear, linens, towels, and accessories. Beyond the familiar stores, bargains are now available in a variety of discount stores. At the end of this article I've provided a list of resources to check for names, addesses and descriptions of local stores. But before you set out, there is some basic information you should know. Zeal, in a factory outlet, must overcome modesty. clothes are still fashionable and in good condition, take them to a resale shop and tum them into cold cash. Or, donate these discards to your favorite charity and take a tax deduction. Once you've cleared your closet, the next step is knowing where and how to shop. Salt Lake has many places for the bargain hunter to investigate. To begin with, retail stores are often the place to start if you know when to shop the sales. The two best months are January and July when savings of up to 80 percent are possible. By keeping track of the times during the year that your favorite store holds its special sales, you'll know when to shop for the biggest savings. Don't neglect the bargain basement (not always located in the basement), when shopping at a large department The The best thing to happen to Salt Lake City for true-blue bargain hunters, has been the appearance offactory outtets, discount outlets, and sampl,e shops. The differences between them are important. Factory outlets represent individual manufacturers and are usually located at the company's plant. Prices are usually close to wholesale, but savings of 75 percent or more can be found. Merchandise consists of overruns (first quality merchandise which the manufacturer has overproduced), irregulars ( merchandise with minor defects or flaws which are not noticeable and do not affect durability), samples, discontinued lines, and cancelled or returned orders. These shops keep prices down by requiring cash and they usually have, as well, a no-return, no-exchange policy. Be warned, also, that dressing rooms are often community affairs, and are sometimes not available at all. Zeal, in a factory outlet, must overcome modesty. Discount outlets are fast becoming the most popular with bargain hunters. They differ from factory outlets in that they represent a variety of manufacturers and more closely resemble a retail store. The quality and selection are usually excellent, especially if they've just received a new shipment.
