Network, April 1984

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.

BOOSTING WOMEN Dear Editor, I enjoyed reading the article in your May issue about the mother-daughter business at the Nearly New Shop. It made me think of another mother-daughter business that has been a tremendous influence in my life over the past ten months. I'm talking about Ruth's World, an aerobics business run by Ruth Bowcutt and her daughters, Janet and Leslie. I had tried other exercise programs but never got really involved wholeheartedly until my nie.ce encouraged me to try Ruth's World. She told me how warm and friendly Ruth and her daughters were and how at home she felt with this group of women. Well, I started the program and needless to say, I'm still going. I have lost weight and feel healthier than ever, mentally and physically. Ruth is a very warm, happy person who should be very proud of' herself and her daughters and their accomplishments together. Ruth cares about her customers. She has been in the process of expanding Ruth's World the last couple of months and will be having her grand reopening sometime in June. At the 1983 Women in Business Conference I received a free 6-month subscription to Network. I was so impressed with your paper and what it's doing for women in Utah that I'm now a paying subscriber. Between reading your paper regularly and attending monthly Women In Business Chamber of Commerce luncheons I am more and more aware of how important it is for women to help other women as they strive for success in the business world. I want other people to know about Ruth's world. Kathy Lerch Contract Specialist Union Pacific System NO SErBACKS, PLEASE Dear Editor, An open letter to our Congressional representatives in Washington: in late February, the Supreme Court in its Grove City College vs. Bell decision, essentially gutted Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the only federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education. In that decision, the Court reversed the decade-old enforcement practice of prohibiting sex discrimination throughout the entire institution if it received any federal funds. The Court ruled that the law applied only to the specific program which directly . received federal money. The ruling severely limits the scope and effectiveness of Title IX. This ruling is not only a major setback for Title IX coverage, but other significant civil rights laws are also similarly affected. Women, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly and the disabled are now left without recourse ·against discrimination. There is now before the House and Senate legislation to restore those civil rights to their previous effectiveness. "The Civil Rights Act of 1984," HR.5490 and SB 2568, will overturn the Court's ruling and restore the comprehensive coverage the ·statutes had prior to the decision .. As a voting constituent from Utah, a woman, a mother of a daughter, and a member of the oldest and largest organization of working women in the United States, I urge you to support this proposed legislation, "The Civil ~ights Act of 1984," and vote yes for the passage of this legislation, without amendment, in this legislative session. Arley Ann Goris State Legislative Chair Utah Federation of Business and Professional Women/USA BEITER BAD THAN SAD Punk-street theatre in Salt Lake City? You should've titled your article "PunkSalt Lake City's Professional Victims." I've been what's called a punk for quite a few years and not because I hate myself, am depressed, mixed up and want to die, kill me now. But because when I walk into the Alpha Beta with my Mohawk standing up, and the people start gawking and whispering and the occasional brave soul yells out, "You look ugly" as they rush out the door, I see that this is my movie, I'm directing it, I'm starring in it. Maybe I didn't hire the extras, and they are pretty ridiculous, but it's funny as hell. I give it five stars. Bad Mike Park City p.s.: So take control of your life and you'll always get the last laugh. NETWORK, JUNE 1984, 3 Asking tough (and necessary) questions T hink of last spring's floods. They caught us off guard. We were all surprised. In the face of potential massive disaster, we pulled together and bagged enough sand to build new rivers down streets and highways to handle the floods. This year we have planned for the floods. They are still disrupting our lives to some degree, but we have made the necessary financial investment to compensate for a larger than normal spring runoff. As a result, the disruption is being held to a minimum. Rivers of water and mud that might rush uncontrblled through our cities and towns are a compelling reason to plan ahead. The floods of women entering the work force are not quite so visible, not quite so compelling because the effect of their absence on the home has not yet been fully felt. Fifty-two percent o( the women in Utah who are between the ages of 16 and 65 are working full time. 171,000 of them are second wage earners. 38,400 of them are tl).e sole supports of their families. Each of them earns only 54¢ for every dollar earned by a man. This wage discrepancy is true in all job categories. Male secretaries earn almost double the salaries of female secretaries {Men: $17,136; Women: $9,615). The statistics for male managers and administrators are similar (Men: $21,220; Women: $11,883). It will take years to know what will become of the thousands of unattended and poorly tended pre-school children in this state. Mothers who make a living wage or who can afford, because of their husband's wage, to pay for good day care are in the minority. Their children are safe. Most parents and single parent mothers face the choice between poor child care or no child care. We don't even know how many latchkey children there are in Utah because many parents are ashamed to admit that they are forced to leave their children unattended. Meanwhile, the children are alone. Furthermore, many single mothers choose to go on welfare rather than leave their children. As a result, the circumstances of their lives then set them apart and teach the children in these families that the ideals of fair play and the work rewards enjoyed by others are not for them. These children are likely to forget the American dream. For them, it simply does not exist. Of course, you Network readers know all of this already. The problem is that not enough people know ( though the number is growing) and practically nothing is being done. Network feels a responsibility here. This is our future, all our futures, that I'm talking about. It is time that somebody actually does something. Therefore, the Network editorial board has devised a plan. This is an election year. There will soon be a slate of candidates for governor before us. These candidates may or may not be empathetic with the needs of the woman wage earner. They may or may not have demonstrated in their careers and personal lives that wage equity is an important issue to them. Most likely they are like most people in this world and they have contributed to the climate that encourages a double standard of payment. They have probably paid the lawn boy twice the wage they paid the babysitter. They might have hired a female office manager for half the wage they would pay a male carpenter. Who can blame them? Who among us is innocent of saving a few bucks whenever the going wage scale permitted it? No question about it, wage equity is going to cost money. As long as we all could avoid being fair, it was more economical. • Being unfair paid off. That time has passed. I believe these families on welfare are costing us more in short term cash and long term social problems than any of us are willing to pay. It is a complex problem, and it must be addressed. Network is going to ask the candidates for governor a simple question: What will you do to correct the wage inequity betu.,een uiomen and men that exists in Utah? We'll ask the candidates this question by sending them a copy of this editorial along with a letter of explanation and a set of simple instructions ( see box). We will request each candidate to keep her or his answers brief and direct. ( One editorial board member says, "Tell them we'll print the first thirty words only, so the answer will have to be there.") That's a little extreme. We will, however, print only their first 250 words, and we will request a minimum of four action steps accompanied by a timetable and specific points of evaluation. We also promise, after the election, to hold the winner to the action plan published here. That is the second part of our plan. We will take the action plans of these candidates and publish them so that yot1 can know what they see and what they stand for and what they're willing to plan for. We hope that the public airing of our concern and their plans will force some action on this critical inequity. We almost didn't do this because of our concern that the candidates wouldn't be honest, wouldn't answer directly, wouldn't take the issue seriously. \Ye were also concerned that you would find their answers boring. It's not very entertaining, after all, to talk about how to tinker with the nuts and bolts that make the world run as it does (inequitably), or to puzzle over the least painful way to redesign a world that, whatever its shortcomings, is at least the world we know. We decided to put aside these fears because we think we know who yo~, the readers of Network, are. You are concerned. You are, according to our polls, among the most active, enlightened and responsible of Utah citizens. You are what is called in organizational development jargon change agents. Your opinions are important because they influence the opinions of so many others. So we believe you will read what these candidates have to say, and that you will read Network's continued assessment of the progress of the eventual winner's published plan with critical interest. We also believe that the candidates for governor can't afford to lie to you, to trick you, or to ignore you. We expect their answers to be serious. The challenge to the candidates will go out in June. The answers will return in July and we will publish them in the August issue of Network. Our hope is to begin a process that will close the wage gap between the men and women who work in Utah. LETTER TO CANDIDATES You are a candidate for governor of Utah. If you win, you will be the chief executive officer of a system of government and a citizenry that tolerates a huge economic discrepancy between women and men. According to the Utah Department of Employment Security, women in Utah earn 54¢ for every dollar earned by a man. This discrepancy carries across all job categories. (See attached report.) There is no evidence that equal pay for equal work is practiced except in isolated pockets of the economy. The Utah figure is well below an already shockingly low national figure. Nationally, women earn 60¢ for every dollar earned by a man. Network believes that no socio-economic system can be healthy when nearly half the labor force-40 percent of the Utah labor force is female-is paid a significantly lower wage than the other half. The blatant unfairness of perpetuating such a system is quite literally unAmerican and a betrayal of the Utah Constitution. We assume that you will also find these facts unacceptable. Therefore, we ask you to complete the following statement: If I am elected govern.or of Utah, I will work to correct the wage inequity between u,omen and men in the following way: - We will print the first 250 words that you write, so please attempt to make your answers brief and to the point. Not counted as part of the word limitation will be the time frame you attach to the action steps you enumerate. Finally, we request th.it you also state how you will determine the effectiveness of the actions you propose. Thank you for your participation in this forum. We are sure that you agree with us that this is an urgent problem that must be quickly addressed if the families in Utah are to remain healthy and intact. Sincerely, Karen F.

"WU'/ rs rr ARoVND HERE- 1ffAr ACHIEI/EMf!Jr 1.s NJ.JAYS AS50CIA1E.D WITH DIM10N~f" Last February, the Women's Center at BYU held a women's conference, on a theme of excellence. A poster and a logo were commissioned for the occasion. However, the design chosen for the conference poster featured a line drawing of a diamond with a remarkable resemblance to a stone from a titantic engagement ring. Wayne Pullen, a BYU student and cartoonist, proposed a cartoon on the subject to the BYU student paper, the Daily Universe. They gave him the go-ahead. Pullen produced the cartoon above. Pullen recalls that Universe editorial staff then rejected the cartoon, citing the cartoon's use of the logo as an infringement of copyright. Pullen reports that he redid the cartoon so that the poster was not pictured. But the revised cartoon was pulled as well. Max Gardner, the Editorial Page Editor for the Universe, explains, "A fellow downstairs who had been laboring with the women's conference got wind of the cartoon and was very upset. He came upstairs having difficulty breathing, and so on. He made it clear that he would cause a hoopla if the cartoon was run. As it turns out, I had already laid out the editorial letters and there wasn't room for the Pullen cartoon, so we ended running a Benson cartoon instead. It was not-I repeat, it was not-a case of censorship or intimidation. It was purely a problem with layout space." Whew!-were we relieved! PRESSED FOR TIME Helaine Victoria Press is a nonprofit educational organization which collects historic photos of women in history, and publishes them using an old hand-fed letterpress. The latest addition to the HY list is a postcard showing Madam C. M. Walker in her convertible, around 1915 or so. Madam Walker was a black factory-owner and inventor and the first self-made woman millionaire. She started as a laborer in the cotton fields, promoted herself to laundress, invented hair preparations for Black women, built the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. in Indianapolis, and was an outspoken advocate for economic equality for women and blacks. To obtain a copy of the Madam Walker card along with another card of notable women, send $1 to the Helaine Victoria Press, Dept. MW, 4080 Dynasty Lane, Martinsville, IN 46151. THEY HffiE HORSES, DON'T THEY? According to business forecaster Marvin Cetron-quoted in Salt Lake Tribune, May 9, 1984-Utah's attitudes toward women may be inhibiting the state's business growth. According to the Tribune account, Cetron said that "one of the biggest problems facing the state is its image outside of the state, with many people making negative comments about the position of women. 'With that kind of image, businessmen don't want to bring their wives to the state or raise their daughters here,' he said, 'and the image needs to be changed."' TANG RUNS In April, Marilyn Millet Tang announced her candidacy for the Utah House of Representatives. Tang is the owner of Certified Interior Systems, a multi-million-dollar distributor of industrial storage and materials handling supplies. Tang, a Democrat, stated that she was entering the political arena because of her strong feelings about small business legislation, cooperation in education, taxation, the lack of balance in the legislature, and lack of community involvement in the state legislative process.

Myrna then tries to carry on as if she were in her own living room. She explains to the nearest flight attendant, in a voice that carries well back to the uninterested smokers, that they are on their way to see their married daughter in Utica, because the daughter has been ill and her husband was laid off work .. . and on and on. Meanwhile, a businessman across the aisle has been having difficulty with his sinuses. Unlike Myrna, he does not talk about them, but you're going to live with those sinuses all the way to New York just the same. For a while, there is a lot of snuffling. Then there is the delicate operation of applying some nose drops. (At least our friend in 14B can close his eyes during this ritual.) Soon we have quite a concentrated spell of nose-blowing. These activities continue ad lib as a background to , everything else. A few rows back is a 4-year-old with a high, strong whine that could out-perform most lasers. He will ask "why?" eleven hundred times on this trip. His parents have already been partially deafened by this child's insistent noise, so they usually do not respond until he has asked, "How come that man is wearing an apron?" six times. If you think he will fall asleep during the flight, you are not a seasoned flier. Now my point in all this is simple. Close and concentrated exposure, on this personal level, to people whom we do not know and about whom we do not care is bad for our character. In order to endure Myrna's endless prattle and the businessman's snorti~g and the child's whining, we have to harden ourselves. We at best tune them out, and at worst become sarcastic (if only in our minds) and cynical. By contrast, when we know Myrna, or Sinus Sam, or the child, when they are our neighbors, family friends, associates, we develop the kind of compassion that comes from interaction. A Native American from the Northwest went back East to school, and at the end of his sojourn commented on the values of living in the small Indian community of which he was a part. There were perhaps four hundred people in his tribe. They expected to live together all their lives. That made a great difference in how they treated each other, how they' settled fights and quarrels. It resulted in a very different attitude towards neighbors and clansmen. This man's personal "people environment" was much healthier than that of a person who is constantly exposed to hundreds and even thousands of people who must be viewed essentially as irritations-as something other than human beings like himself. This kind of "people pollution" breeds inhumanity. What to do about it? I'm not ready to give up planes, or even the pleasures of the big city. Maybe we ought to ask Miss Manners, because what are the social graces if not agreed-upon ways to keep from driving each other crazy? We might even go back to teaching that old-fashioned subject, deportment, in schools! 'ffddtOt1fl DOUBLE A NEW ACOUSTIC ALBUM b~!-1q_!_ly ~ec;Jr "The Chimney Therapists" Larry Richie, M.S., M.S.W.

YOUR CLOSETS r-=-i c ., - - •1 --- 6 NETWORK, JUNE 1984, IN SEARCH OF THE NEW FATHER .by Mary Dickson Editor's note: The father's changing role has been the focus of research, magazine articles, movies and popular discussion. The following story is based on interviews with experts and fathers as well as material from a conference on "The Father /Family • Connection" held at the University of Utah. A s economic necessity dictates that more and more women leave the home to supplement the family income and as the women's movement changes the way women and men view their roles, traditional notions of a parent's responsibility are bound for change. Women have had to rethink their roles in the workplace, and now men are having to rethink their roles at home. An·increasing number of men, driven by practical necessity or desire to establish more nurturing and intimate relationships with their children, are becoming more involved in child care. Media reports and movies like "Kramer vs. Ki:amer" and "Mr. Mom" have focused attention on the father's increasing inyolvement with his children. Some experts have even gone so far as to tell us we're in the midst of a "revolution" in fathering. On the other hand, there are studies showing that child care continues to be the primary responsibility of the mother, whether she works outside the home or -not. The sharpest critics tell us that fathers, on the whole, are still doing very little and remain peripheral, nearly invisible parents. Given such conflicting reports, what are we to make of the father's role. ls it, in fact, changing? James A. Levine, director of the Fatherhood Project at the Bank Street College of Education in New York, points out that while more men are interested in nurturing their children, we are not really in the midst of a revolution. Rather, he says, w~ are undergoing a "significant evolution" toward increased father involvement. Dr. Michael E. Lamb, University of Utah psychologist and internationally noted researcher on fathering, stresses that while the father's role is certainly changing, the change must be kept in perspective and not overstated. "We've moved into an era of fatherhood hype," he says. "We'v~ come to pay an enormous amount of attention to the importance and role of fathers in children's lives. It's true that fathers-like mothersconstitute an important part of a complex • system within which children are socialized. The father's role must be viewed in the context of this socialization." Ifs hard work because they are aeating a new role with few models to follow. Nevertheless~ fathering mav be coming into its own as a respected activity for fathers. The bulk of research, he notes, shows that fathers can be just as sensitive, nurturing and competent in caring for children as are mothers. "With the exception of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, there is no reason to believe that men are inherently less capable of child care, although these potential skills often remain underdeveloped," he says. He points to studies of single fathers which show that fathers can be skillful parents when necessary. "For years, men's potential as fathers has been ignored," says Dr. Abraham Saig, professor of social work at the University of Haifa, Israel, and co-author of Fatherhood and Family Policy. He says that while fathers can be as competent as mothers, mothers are still the most significantly involved parent. "We need to make a distinction between actual and potential performance," he says. The actual increase in the time fathers spend with children has been gradual. A study by researchers from Wellesley College showed that the actual amount of time fathers are spending in child care has not increased dramatically even in families where mothers work. According to these studies by Dr. Joseph H. Pleck, fathers are actively involved with their children about one third as much as mothers and are available to their children only half as much. "The biggest discrepancy comes in the area of parental responsibility," adds Lamb. "The father may be taking the child to the sitter, but it's still the mother who finds the babysitter, makes the arrangements, picks out the clothes the child will wear and decides what needs to be done."

According to University of Utah social worker Naomi Silverstone, by six months of age babies have learned that "moms are for soothing and dads are for playing." Dr. Elizabeth Whelan, in her book A Baby Maybe, tells about a young father who shared the raising of his l8-month-0ld daughter. "She calls me 'Mommy' when she's in trouble, and 'Daddy' when she wants to play," the confused father said. Dr. Raymond Montemayor, a University of Utah profe_ssor of family and consumer studies, has found that mothers spend considerably more time with children when they are young whereas fathers become more involved as -the children get older. His findings make sense when we consider that fathers generally feel more comfortable around older children. "It's just now, when Dylan is four, that I feel a closeness," says Patrick Zwick, who plays with the Utah Symphony and leaves the primary responsibility for child care to ,his wife Rebecca Terry (one of the singing Saliva Sisters). "As he talks and learns things, I can teach him. He adds a new dimension to my life that I really treasure. Sometimes I let other people take care of him because I don't feel I have the skills or patience. I don't feel bad about it because the time I do spend with him is extremely special to me." Many men yield child care responsibility to their wives because they lack confidence in their parenting skills. "We encourage girls early on to babysit, but we don't do that for boys. We need to provide those options," says Levine. To provide them, his Fatherhood Project offers baby care classes for boys and girls ages 10~ 12. While men grow up without learning to care for children, most women grow up expecting that child care will be their complete domain. Some women find that they are reluctant to relinquish control over that domain. One of the greatest determinants of a father's involvement is how much his wife wants him to be involved. Lamb cites surveys showing that only one third of women actually want more involvement from their husbands. Some women-even those who have their own careers-feel they are better suited than their husbands to meet children's needs. "I always told my husband I wanted him to help out with the kids more," says one successful journalist. "But when he did, I resented it. I know it was irrational, but I felt that he might replace me." "However much a new mother may require and desire her husband's participation, she is often ambivalent," writes Whelan. "She may be the most modern and liberated of females, but steeped in tradition, she may be subconsciously convinced that no man could possibly change a diaper or administer a bottle as .well -as a woman." "Yes, there are definitely deeply ingrained roles," says Ivan C-endese, principal·of Glendale Intermediate School and a 48~year-old father who takes care of his two young sons for at least two hours a day. His wife Jan is a Gestalt therapist. "I "For years, men's potential as fathers has been ignored." .NETWORK,JUNE 1984, 7 ADVERTORIAL think mothers do some things better. I can console and offer love and hugs as well as Jan can, but the boys have a definite need for their mother. Even when I'm around, they tend to be more attracted to her." Today's fathers are more likely to be amenable to shared care than were previous generations. However, experts agree that a variety of factors affect paternal involvement, including societal expectations. One expectant father tells how his peers belittled him for reading a book on having children. "They asked me why I was reading it," he says. "They told me it was my wife's problem. I want to be supportive and help her, but it's all very confusing to me. I don't get any support from my friends to do that. I actually get the feeling they think I'm letting her tell me what to do." "Ideally, shared parenting is the way it should be," says Zwick. "But it's very hard to do-it. It's not my natural inclination. I'm an only child and I'm very selfish. I didn't like kids when I was a kid. I liked adults. Becky grew up as one of five siblings and she's used to taking care of children. She wants me to be more involved. I don't have the least bit of problem with my current involvement. I'm comfortable with it and 5>ylan seems to be comfortable with it." On the other hand, there are families where dual employment causes fathers to be more involved as a matter of practicality. 0 lt's the only way we can do it," says Roberta Zalkind, who is expecting her first child in October. Both she -and her husband Larry ~re full,time musicians with the Utah Symphony. 0 Larry and I agreed before we got _married that we would share the child care. With both of us pursuing careers it's the only kind of arrangement that will work." Adds Larry, "We waited so long to have a baby because we wanted everything logistically in place. We'll be splitting parenting down the middle and I'm looking forward to it. I want to have a very prominent role in the upbringing of the child." If a man works eight hours a day and his wife isn't employed, he is more likely to consider child rearing her responsibility. "I could use some help with the kids," says Ann DeBirk who has two pre,schoolers and doesn't work outside the home. 0 But I feel bad about asking John for help since he's at work all day, so the kids are basically my responsibility." Pleck notes that the more hours men work, the less ·hours they spend with their children. Fathers who take advantage of flextime, particularly those who arrive and leave early, spend more time with their children than do other men, he says. "Even when men have time off, they're not necessarily going to spend it with their children. They have to be motivated and feel they have the skills and support to be involved." And support isn't readily available in the workplace. "The working mother is established as a social issue," he says. "There is more resistance on the part of employers to think of men as working fathers. Employers view a man's fathering responsibilities as his private life." Unfortunately, the time of greatest career demands and pressures is in the early stages of a man's career, which is also the time when most men are starting families. "You read about men rethinking their career plans because they want to spend some time with their families," says Cendese, who at 48 is already well establishe_d in his career. "I'd have to tbink twice about changing the direction of my career or taking on more work just to make more money. I keep making the decision ''The working mother is established as a social issue. There is more resistance on the part of employers to think of men as working fathers." that I want to spend time with tny family. But it may be my age: I'm not in my 20s and trying to establish myself in a career, so I have more flexibility." Sagi cautions against conveying the message that all fathers must be more involved. Such mandates, he says, cut off a father's options and may not work best for each family. To illustrate, he uses the cases of two men who were in the delivery room with their wives. The first man wanted to participate, and reported experiencing a sense of fulfillment and an increased commitment to his child. The other man had been very upset about what might happen and preferred to not be present, but he decided to participate anyway because that's what all his friends had done. His memories are not pleasant and he reported developing a sense of estrangement from his wife. "Instead of viewing a shared delivery as an option for fathers, we have made it a mandate for them," says Sagi. "Our aim should be to provide options for fathers and mothers with the understanding that a liberal approach won't work for all families. We shouldn't speak of the ideal father style, but rather of a diversity of acceptable styles." "It's dangerous to set up prescriptions mandating that fathers should be more involved," agrees Lamb. "We need to avoid establishing new constraints. What's important is that individual couples make the decision, based on their own career goals and their personal values." Studies have shown that increased father involvement-when it is by choice-is positive, notes Lamb. In such cases, boys and girls have higher cognitive achievement, greater empathy, social understanding and awareness, and less stereotypical attitudes toward male and female sex roles. These positive effects, says Lamb, are probably due to a constellation of factors, including two highly involved parents representing more diverse types of stimulation, parental agreement about the ways in which child care should be divided, low marital conflict and values which facilitate the father's involvement. ' But some fathers, on the other hand, are highly involved because they have been laid off or are unemployed. "They don't want to be at home, so they don't view the child care responsibility positively," says Lamb. "What these studies suggest is that children do best when parents are able to divide child care in ways that make sense for them, given their own values, preferences -and socio,economic circumstances," he adds. "Children, and husbands and wives, do best when they feel comfortable with the arrangementregardless of what the arrangement is." .........._....... @~ll@tlfL.1-.l~-.l ••.• •• ·:-- Mary Dickson is a freelance UJTiter and a staff UJTiter at the University of Utah Department of Public Relations. ALTA LODGE "Once you're up here you might as well be a million miles away. Yet you can get to town in a hurry if you need to," says Alta Lodge assistant manager Brian Flandro. That's the beauty of living in or around the Salt Lake Valley. It's not every city that boasts a selection of accessible and beautiful canyons nearby, with rriany recreational offerings, less than an hour's drive from downtown. Alta Lodge is located in the town of Alta, once a notable mining boom town and now a skier's paradise. The historic lodge, built in 1940, features gables, a copper roof, fireplaces, sun decks, hot pools and saunas, dining rooms, lounge and forty glass,walled rooms which are filled winter and summer. uDuring the summer it's quite busy because of conferences and wedding receptions," says Flandro. "And we're booked a year in advance for the winter. 85 percent of our winter guests return year after year." Skiing aside, summer is a lovely time to visit Alta Lodge. Flandro admits that it is his favorite time of year in Little Cottonwood Canyon. "Once the snow melts there is hiking, and the wildflowers bloom," says Flandro. A set of beautiful photos and descriptions of wildflowers grace the entryway of the lodge, making them a yearlong presence. Scrounging is another popular pastime, and Flandro reports finds of an old tobacco pipe, china, buttons and bottles. Along with the spectacular views and sunsets, fragrant mountain air and clear lakes, Alta Lodge is noted for its excellent cuisine. The Summer Dining Room offers an array of items including scampi, abalone, salmon, steaks, and homemade breads and pastries. A popular summer package is Saturday night lodging and Sunday brunch for two, starting at $59.50. The lodge is also open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner during summer. Flandro recommends calling first to assure that dining rooms are not being used by conferences or other scheduled events. In addition, the gift shop is open for browsing and offers a range of T-shirts and , other souvenirs. Whether you want to take an afternoon drive or stay for a week, try Alta Lodge for a friendly mountain retreat.

A sales executive I work with would like to get in shape, but all he sees when he thinks exercise is Jack LaLane in tight jumpsuits and ballet' slippers. Last week at.coffee break, he squirmed in his chair while the rest of us talked spas. Finally, he ventured into the conversation: u5o tell me, when a guy goes to these places, uh . . . what does he wear?" We may question his motivation-how important is the right outfit, after all? But few of us are any different, really. Most of us keep our investments in the health craze at a minimum. If our enthusiasism flags, the most we'll forfeit is what we've spent in memberships and exercise couture. For a few women in Utah, there is considerably more at stake. They've put emotional, physical and financial resources on the line and opened fitness businesses of their own. Their names are becoming familiar: Carrie Bissell of Body Tech and Design, Sandy Beveridge and Enid Enniss of the Racqueteer, and Terrell Dougan of the Valhalla Program. • They're all in great shape-pulmonary systems so clean I could cry with envy. But what's a low resting heart rate to a commercial loan officer? What good is a perfecf fat-to-muscle ratio in dealing with a disgruntled employee, or in developing a marketing strategy? Each of these women learned the hard way that running a fitness 1:;msiness takes a lot more than counting jumping jacks. QUICK-FIX FITNESS When Carrie Bissell pulls up in a white Mercedes 450 SL with personalized plates (AROBIX) and emerges in a mink bolero jacket, heads turn. Unvoiced questions hang in the air: did she marry well or inherit the money? Bissell, a 29-year-old ex-stewardess, has earned it all herself in less than ten years. Her business, Body Tech and Design, a nonstop aerobics-only business, is flourishing. Each month, 12,000 students swamp the 24,000 square feet under lease at two locations. 226 classes per week keep her twenty-six employees lean and busy. The Body Tech image is geared to attract a youthful clientele. The trendy decor says so: chrome and brass fixtures gleam everywhere. At least one wall in every studio is plate glass. Body Tech is like a fashionable discotheque: a good place to look and be seen. High-resolution black-andwhite photos of Bissell and other instructors hang in the downtown foyer. They make a very enticing statement," remarks one firsttime patron. "You can't help but want to look like that." Bissell, who still teaches classes herself, hand-picks all instructors. She often hires gymnasts and dancers who have experience teaching or backgrounds in academia. "I want aggressive people with personality who are knowledgable in fitness. We don't have any untutored 20-year-olds on staff telling customers to 1do this' or 1do that."' Applicants are screened at an initial As fitness becomes the personal goal of hundreds of thousands, the places where people go to get and stay fit are farming a dynamic growth industry that is as healthy as its patrons. Four women 'in Utah are providing leadership in running these businesses right. audition. Then, after a rigorous three-month training period, another cut is made. Those remaining are added to the work schedule. Back in 1972, Bissell was with Frontier Airlines flying in circles: New York, then Los Angeles and back home to Dallas. Already planning to enter the fitness business, she sampled aerobics classes in cities coast to coast, and spent layovers studying and refining her concept of how her business would be run: instead of the typical urban spa with uwhirlpools, etc. that no one has time to use," she'd offer a spa alternative: a place where busy people could drop in any time for a workout and shower, and then get back to their desks. She'd segregate classes into various levels of activity, build a staff of well-paid instructors, and replace memberships and contracts with pay-as-you-go punch passes. In 1977, Bissell began holding classes at home on her days off the flight schedule. Next, .she took many month-long leaves of absence devoted to aerobics only. Leaving the airlines meant taking the ultimate risk; , she kept putting that moment off. Finally, in 1979, she quit the airline, borrowed $5,000 from her husband and leased 800 square feet of studio space for $300 a month., From there, the size of her studios and classes began the geometric progression that has astounded even Bissell. Two years ago when Life magazine decided on a fitness-boom feature, she made the issue. usweat is a Status Symbol," read the bold caption. And there was Bissell, pictured against the slopes at Snowbird, leading several Body Tech faithfuls in a routine. Her long--term plans include franchising her operations in California, but "every expansion has been a scary experience," she says. "Taking risks is just an unavoidable part of business. What I've tried to develop is the ability to tsee around the corner.' I figure if the odds are 80 to 20 that I'll succeed, I'll take the chance. After that, I try to follow my instincts."

Prompt Delivery and Sat Isfaction Gauranteed When Sandy Beveridge and Enid Enniss conduct a tour of the Racqueteer club, they invite scrutiny. A guest sees everything. Everything. Even the inconspicuous cubbyholes in the walls of the racquetball courts "for keys, extra balls, whatever," that would otherwise clutter up the playing surfaces. For them, attention to detail is what building and running a family fitness facility is all about. "Notice how the running track is banked _ on the curves? That prevents knee injuries," Beveridge explains. uAnd see the skylight over the Nautilus area? We told the architect to create an atmosphere of space here, so people using the weight equipment wouldn't be assaulted by the smell of sweating bodies." The tour continues. "The dance floor in the aerobics room is suspended to absorb the shock of landing when people jump. Cuts down on stress in the hips. And this is the fitness assessment lab. There's the hydrostatic weighing tub( here's the pulmonary function testing apparatus . " "The problem with all this quality," Enniss injects, uis people walk in and think right away they can't afford us. 1 I can join spa X for nearly nothing,' they'll say, and we have to come up with some pretty good reasons why they should come here instead." A variety of memberships is available. Members may use the racquetball courts only or have access to the entire facility-fees are tailored accordingly. An individual house membership (full facility), for example, costs $30 per month with a $120 initiation fee. "And," Beveridge stresses, "no additional fees are ever charged unless members have fitness assessments done in • our lab." In 1976, the two partners scraped together enough money to purchase two acres of land in Sandy where they hoped to build their center. uwe were confident," Beveridge relates, uthat we'd find someone to finance this project for us." She pauses, amused at their naivete. uwell, we didn't." At least not right away. In 1977, the two met Janet and Nancy Parry and Susan Flandro-a nurse, doctor and lawyer, respectively-who were all principals of Parry Development Corporation of Anaheim, California. "Back then," Enniss recalls, uthey weren't in a position to help us. We pretty much forgot about them." But the sisters didn't forget the Racqueteer project. In December, 1982, still convinced of its merit, they contacted Beveridge and Enniss. By June of 1983, ground was being broken. Unvoiced questions hana in the air-: did she mar-0' well~ orinher-it the money? The two partners- work under a management contract with Parry Development but retain complete control over the operation of the club itself. Their credentials say it all: Enniss, who holds a master of science in physical education, taught for sixteen years at the junior ao.d high school levels and four years in the College of Health at the University of Utah. Beveridge, who received her doctorate in physical education, has been teaching at the University of Utah for the past ten years. Their staff of fifteen is drawn primarily from the ranks of academia as well. Says Enniss, "We want to know that the people we hire know about exercise physiology, anatomy and kinesiology. Textbook learning isn't crucial, but they have to know the effects of exercise. Can they, for instance, prescribe exercise for somewone who's 20 years old and for someone who's 50? For someone who's very fit and for someone who's handicapped?" "We've built a facility ," Beveridge says, uwhere no quackery goes on, one that is NETWORK,JUNE 1984, 9 indu stry Carrie Bissell of Body Tech and Design: Her business suit is a leotard.

REJUVENATION IN THE MOUNTAINS Terrell Dougan has, she says, a "rich person" complex. She's driven to prove that what she has is a result of her talent and ingenuity and not a fluke of fate. Perhaps this explains her eclectic background: she's co-authored two books, been a newspaper columnist and worked as an assistant to ·Governor Scott Matheson. But it's her devotion to health and helping others that inspires her unique contribution to fitness in Utah. ··one lendercame r-iaht out and iaid ther-e~d be financina available Pf"OVided we involved a male in the pr-oject. In December, 1982, Dougan, her husband Paul and two other investors, Pam and Rick Prince, opened the Stein Ericksen Lodge in Deer Valley. The winter debut was auspicious. But when the skiers left the following spring, off-season profits began dipping. Dougan saw the slump as an opportunity to develop an elite resort spa at the lodge, and boost summer bookings in the bargain. Her inspiration for the project came from her own visits to the Golden Door and the Ashram, both renowned spas in California. Like these, her Valhalla Program provides guests a retreat from the stresses of everyday life, and an intensive course in the relationship of health to nutrition and exericse. But Valhalla's mountaintop setting is what Dougan feels sets her spa apart. "The Golden Door," she admits, "has three acres of land devoted to vegetable gardens alone. I can't possibly compete with that. • We're a ski resort that happens to offer a spa program. But no one else can match our mountain hikes.'' In addition to hiking, a "sample day'' for the twenty-five guests who visited last year included water exercises, massages, yoga and aerobics classes, and other more cosmetic pursuits such as color analysis and skin care advice. Since fitness to Dougan means a well mind in a well body, Valhalla engaged lecturers. Topics ranged from the metaphysical ( right hrain/left brain theory) to the inspirational (how to achieve the success you deserve). All this has a price. The week-long stay, which costs individuals $1,800 (couples $3,000) puts the pleasures of Valhalla beyond the reach of many. In addition to elegant accommodations and specially prepared foods, Valhalla provides the expertise of five consultants including a nutritionist and exercise physiologist. Individual attention is the key to this program; the number of guests is restricted to twelve per week. "When I spent $900 to stay at the Ashram a few years ago," Dougan confesses, "I thought that was exorbitantly expensive. Now that I'm on the other side of the business, I realize how costly it is to run one of these places. Last year, Valhalla lost $140 per guest. This year, if we don't break even or come out a little ahead, the program's over." Dougan dislikes discussing Valhalla in terms of financial realities. She is not a dilettante, but she's also not profit-oriented. This is sometimes difficult for her business partners to understand. Her motivation comes from effecting positive changes in others' lives. She feels the experience Valhalla provides is best described by guests who, after a week's stay, leave with "an entirely different perception of their problems. This may sound corny, but I believe that what makes people come away changed is the power of being in nature. It would be arrogant of me to say we did anything except give people the time and proper atmosphere to discover the possibilities in themselves." "I want guests to feel how it is to exerci~ every day, to be constantly moving all day long in the water, in the mountains. When you get away from everything for a • week, something goes on inside your head. Suddenly you know that you're going to be good to yourself from then on." Enniss faced was establishing credibility. Of the three businesses, the Racqueteer required the largest outlay of starting capital. "We were," Beveridge explains, "just a couple of school teachers with no collateral or business experience who needed about 1.5 million dollars to start with." Enniss continues: "One lender came right out and said there'd be financing available provided we involved a male in the project. Another stipulated that we engage an established club to act in a consulting capacity until we got going. But we wanted our concept, not someone else's." Bissell, too, faced a test of wills when arranging for space in the Coordinated Financial Center. "An acquaintance introduced me to the leasing representatives," she elaborates, "and they seemed very anxious to work with me. I told them, 'You are going to have 12,000 tights and leotards walking through a professional plaza full of CPAs, lawyers and bankers. You'll have a bass drum beat going through walls, ceilings and floors; traffic in your parking lot like you won't believe. The building and this business just aren't compatible." Bissell was afraid they didn't understand how different her requirements were and so she emphasized as clearly as possible all her needs. They still wanted her to sign the lease, which she did. Then the problems began. "Suddenly," Bissell recalls, "I was swimming in a sea of sharks." Agreements that had been made in the lease had to be remade as Bissell demanded that the Coordinated Financial Center 1ive up to their promises. "I was one woman facing down eight men, but I just had to face them _squarely and stand my ground. They finally agreed," she recalls with a sigh of weariness and pleasure. Continued on p. 14 FAST TRACKING-LEAR NING TO RUN A BUSINESS "There's an aerobics studio or spa on every corner," complained one new owner of a Jazzercise franchise. "And it's not just commercial fitness we're competing against. There are church-sponsored exercise programs, even cottage businesses run out of residences, all taking slices out of the pie." With competition this fierce, it seems that a solid background in business might be the difference between success and failure. Beveridge, Enniss, Bissell and Dougan all report that the "nuts and bolts knowledge" of starting and running an organization was their most glaring deficiency. "The business end is still the most baffling part of Body Tech," Bissell admits. "When I got this bill from ASCAP ( American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) saying I owed them royalties for using their music in my studios, I was amazed. I had no idea how to handle it." "Fortunately," says Dougan, "I could rely on personnel at the lodge to handle some business functions at first. The accounting for Valhalla, for example, was handled with other transactions there." "Enid and I are managing, plus doing clerical work," says Beveridge, "because we forgot to add secretarial help in our initial budgetary projections. That's just lack of experience in business showing." The greatest challenge Beveridge and I came here for an abortion. I'm glad I had a choice.

A children's rhyme or a formula for success? Sisters Nancy and Janet Parry and their friend Susan Flandro, friends who grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, took the choice seriously. Between them they have filled all those occupations and more. In addition, they have formed a sturdy, , reliable business partnership which has survived the test of long hours and the direct conflict which is inevitable when strong, independent people try to make decisions together. All three now live in Anaheim, California. There, Dr. Nancy Parry is a board~certified family practitioner, Flandro an attorney, and Janet Parry a registered nurse. They are greater than the sum of their parts. The three add up to at least a six when their complex roles as physician, nurse, lawyer, investor, entrepreneur, and chief executive officers·of the Parry Development Company are measured and weighed together. How a Doctor and a Nurse Became Tycoons In 1968, after Nancy had earned her B.S. from the University of Utah, her M.D. from the University of California at Irvine, and completed her internship at LDS Hospital, she decided to practice in Anaheim, California. Janet, who received her B.S. in nursing from the University of Utah, first became a nurse in Nancy's practice, and later the office manager. Noticing the problems medical offices have with moving patients efficiently through the rooms to the doctor and maintaining their • comfort ( wouldn't patients be more at ease with a private dressing room in the examining room?), they decided to design office space that worked for them. Some of the techniques and systems Janet came up with were so successful she was able to market them. Now, in addition to being vice president of Parry Development Company, she owns and operates another business which helps other medical personnel, Medical Management Consultants. Nancy's dream was different; she wanted to construct her own 20,000 square foot medical building which would offer all the amenities and efficiencies she felt doctors and patients would appreciat~. Together, the Parry sisters embarked on a four year project, spending $2.5 million in the process.

Flandro became interested in law while dating a law student. Teaching had lost its appeal. "I couldn't believe humans could wriggle so much," she recalls. When Flandro told her father she wanted to be a lawyer, he concluded that she was "obviously confused" and should work for him until her head cleared.

NETWORK, JUNE 1984, 11 Utah wom en developers a teacher in the Jordan District and the College of Health, were looking for financing. They needed help because buying the land had exhausted their capital. Parry Development was interested in the project and even had another close business friend interested in the project as well. When the-potential partner was killed in an airplane crash, they halted all plans for two years. By this time, Beveridge and Enniss were almost without hope. They had sold and hocked everything just to hang onto the property. Losing it appeared certain. Parry Development finally looked again at the project, adopting it for a couple of reasons. First, it fit in with their penchant for building medical buildings because as Nancy says, "A proper sports club is preventive medicine." Second, they were sympathetic to the plight of Beveridge and Enniss at the same time that they were impressed with their tenacity. The Racqueteer Sport and Fitness Center, 615 East 9800 South, Sandy, Utah, opened last October. Parry Construction and their limited partners, who are all physicians, own it. Sandy Beveridge and Ehid Enniss manage it and its all-professional staff. To date, Parry Developmen t has completed $45 million worth of construction projects, and more are in the planning stages. How Three Women Managed in a Man's World Since the construction business is •dominated by men, one wonders how three women manage successfully in what could well be a hostile environment. "The biggest problem," says Nancy, "is getting builders and architects to take us seriously. For example, once the Racqueteer became our project; the builder didn't think we meant business until he came to California and saw our other projects." Both Nancy and Flandro 0anet Parry ~as not in Salt Lake for this interview) agree that the reason for the doubtingThomas attitude is that "we are women venturing into a man's world." They add, "Once the architects and contractors know that we are serious, we get along just fine." However, to meet specifications and deadlines, they have a plan. "We do have to be firm with contractors. We have found that getting angry doesn't pay. We have to handle problems, not rant and rave. That doesn't work. Beside, we don't want to be accused of having 'typical female moods.'" Flandro says they do have to "put a lot of trust in contractors." But when that trust is abused, 'she and the Parrys are ready. First, Duane Eckard, the Project's Coordinator, applies pressure. If that doesn't work, Flandro negotiates. Finally, Nancy applies clout. For instance, when the Racqueteer Club's contractor did not meet deadlines, Nancy enforced the small printno work, no payday~. This approach is obviously successful. Nancy says that though they have only occasionally had "to push," all their projects have been done on time, some a little closer to deadline than others. Contractors were laying rugs and installing glass just minutes before the The Racqueteer's grand opening-but it opened on schedule. How Three Women Get Along As Business Partners They like each other, and they are all likable. Most of all, they work equally hard and thrive on what they do, including long, late hours that might fray the nerves of less energetic people. Janet Parry runs Medical Management Consultants. That office adjoins Parry Construction's so she can conveniently wear two hats. Hers is the most consistently mild temperament. Neither of her two partners can remember seeing her angry. Nancy Parry, M.D., carries a full practice keeping regular office hours and a full surgical load, even though she devotes as much time, if not more, to Parry Development. She also is rarely angry. "But when she is," says Flandro, "people know it and really perk up." They know because her normal sparkle fades, her constant smile is gone. The contrast speaks for itself. Mostly she's eventempered and enthusiastic. Dr. Parry loves constructing buildings; she also loves being a doctor, a career she chose when she was eight. Enthusiasm and satisfaction radiate from her. Flandro divides 12 to 14 hour days, seven days a week, between Parry Development and her own Flandro and Company which handles the legal affairs and syndications for real estate partnerships. She says she "enjoys work too much," and criticizes herself for "not making time for other things." Enid Enniss and Janet Thurgood: Making the education, the vision and the patience pay. Flandro's special skill is managing the employees. She and Dr. Parry take turns being the heavy when it's necessary. They trade wearing the black and white hats, agreeing before they go into meetings who will wear which hat for that particular meeting. When just the three of them meet, they settle issues family style, discussing differences loudly, unworried about whether they're engaged in being emotional. Together they are able to deal directly with each other. Their open candor with each other has worked well for them, and they have always managed to emerge from these family skirmishes as friends, having made good decisions in the process. So far, there have been no winners or losers-except for the business, which always wins. To date, Parry Development has completed $45 million worth of construction projects, and more are in the planning stages. Currently, they are considering developing more medical offices, outpatient surgical centers and office buildings. Some of their plans may lead to more buildings in Salt Lake City. Parry Development currently employs ·nine people, including its own financial officer, projects coordinator, space planner and interior coordinator. Some of these employees are men, and some women. They value each employee and say they get along especially well with the women who work for them because they have noticed some qualities about them that they particularly like. "Women," Flandro says, "are intuitive and tenacious; they pay attention to details SMITH& BURTON INTERIORS Team of three· Weekly or biweekly and will follow through and finish a job." •For these reasons, Nancy and Susan feel that as other women get the oportunity to take chances, they will succeed in all types of businesses and careers. Why These Three? How did three little Mormon girls from Utah grow up in this conservative milieu and go on to become doctor, lawyer, nurse and consultant, and real estate developers instead of wives and mothers? Flandro says she was expected to fill the traditional roles and never "consciously made a decision not to marry. It just happened that way." Now she is too busy to get involved" but certainly has not ruled out marriage. Janet was married for a short time and is now divorced. Nancy says, "I made up my mind in high school not to marry because I had no role models-I knew of no happy marriages.'' Besides, the time commitment of a physician "makes it tough." The hours spent on Parry Development make it even tougher. Flandro was not expected to be a lawyer, but she was strong-willed enough to follow her own path. The Parry's mother told them, uyou can be anything you want," and they obviously believed her. Nancy's favorite needlepoint says it all: "Don't tell your daughter to marry a doctor or lawyer; tell her to be one." :•ff:;:::£:q:f':f::§JblBi:"~:0 Joan Lally is an adjunct associate professor of management in the O>llege of Business at the University of Utah .

Network will conduct thorough research into the career opportunities various Utah business and industries offer women. The goal is to collect information that will allow those seeking careers to evaluate which business or industry ~ould best fulfill their goals. In each instance, Network will examine, where appropriate, salary ranges, entry level jobs, career tracks, training opportunities, the numbers of women at various levels of management, the numbers of women serving on the boards of directors, the attitude of executive management toward career advancement for women, and the attitudes of women working within the selected business or industry. by Patty Kimball A •• f n industry steeped in tradition, banking has always been the province of the very rich and powerful. The very word calls up images of dour curmudgeons gathered in posh, exclusive surroundings. Very conservative, very formal-a metaphor for the status quo. Are women in this picture? No. Even the waiters are male. That was then. Lately, banking has undergone some big changes. The focus of ten years of affirmative action audits, and aeregulated during a severe recession, banks have had to change in order to survive. In this new picture, there are some women. Unfortunately, only a few are in upper management. The upper echelons are still exclusively male. Women in Utah, like women nationally, go into banking in large numbers ap.d form the majority of bank employees. Few get to the top of the management hierarchy. In the conservative climate of Utah, there are no female presidents or chief executive officers of any commercial bank or savings and loan institution. Nor are there any female executive vice presidents. Only at the senior vice president level do women begin to show up. Even there, Network could find only four. At the level of vice president, women begin to be better represented but still at a rate lower than might be expected given their numbers at the lowest levels ( see box). Why this lopsided distribution? Why do so many women go into banking only to go nowhere once they're in? What happens to them along the way? To find the answers, Network talked to 24 bankers-mostly local, mostly womenfrom both big and small banks and savings and loans.· Their reports reveal an industry at a crossroads, facing an uncertain future. In Utah particularly, banking is still very much a man's world, though there are many women anxious to join them. Large numbers of women enter banking because of the nature of the business itself. Banking needs women. A service industry where traditional female traits of getting along well with people and attention to detail are much in demand, banks want women to deal with customers and handle the minutiae of daily business. Because banks like to look successful, they offer above-average and sometimes plush ( as in First Interstate's new "plaza" in downtown Salt Lake) working conditions. There is also a certain amount of prestige associated with working at a bank. Before the recent deregulation, there was job security. Banking has never been known for its high pay, however. According to William Hinchman, president of American Savings, low pay is probably why banking has attracted more than its fair share of talented women. Presumably, talented men have tended to go where starting salaries are better while women have accepted less money just to get a foot in the door and a chance at a career. So why don't most of these women reach the top? The truth i& that few try. Most women in banking are "working until." They work until they get married, have a baby or can afford a down payment on a house. They are not career-minded. Their lack, of career focus is responsible for the skewed numbers showing so many women at low levels of banking. This group also fuels a stereotype that career-minded banking women must constantly battle. Because the "until" workers have no career expectations, banks have few expectations of them. Consequently, the banks don't think to offer them advanced training or other career.-enhancing opportunities. According to Clea Rasmussen, a senior vice president at Sandy State Bank, the serious career women in banking has to broadcast her career aspirations "loud and clear." Otherwise, she risks being thought of and treated as one of the "until" workers. Even among those women making a career out of banking, observers often detect a certain ambivalence. Most of this stems from internal conflict. As career women, crtifitb ;i~~liA:: On Location Estimates Free" Servino the Wasatch Front these aspiring bankers must endlessly balance their family responsibilities with their work. And they must do that while they compete with men who can give their undivided attention to their jobs. Getting ahead in banking requires a lot of time-time that wives and mothers may be unwilling or unable, depending on their circumstances, to give. The men at the top see this conflict as a liability. "The family issue is a difficult hurdle for women to overcome," says Hinchman of American Savings. "One's late twenties and early thirties are critical years for a banker. It is at this point that she or he establishes the visibility needed to get to the top, all the while gaining absolutely critical experience. This is often when a woman interrupts her career for years at a time or substantially slows it down in ,order to have and care for children." Of the four women who are senior \lice presidents in Utah, two are with the savings and loans and two are in banks with assets of less than $20 million. Leon Harmon, president of First Interstate Bank of Utah agrees. "It is very difficult for a women to have both a career and a family," he says, adding, "It is a burden that most men don't have to shoulder." To be successful, he says, "Women need to put their jobs at top priority."· At least some of the WOJll.en competing for top banking jobs agree that combining the roles of career women, wife and mother is difficult..More common are career women who are single mothers or career women Linda Farrell: Leaving Western Savings and Loan for a job as a bank consultant in sunny California. At 33 she has found few barriers to achieving her goals. Yet when she leaves, there will be only three women in Utah who are senior vice presidents. who are married without children. Only in one instance did Network find a career woman, wife and mother combined all in one and that person said her career was effectively on hold. For the time being, her family is her top priority, even though she knows it will cost her at work. In fact, among the younger, most ambitious women, Network noticed a trend toward deciding against motherhood altogether. "I don't want to be that frantic," said one woman. "I like my career and I don't want to stop," said another. ' "You Do The Dreaming ..." But career-minded or not, women still don't show up in the ranks at the top of the banking establishment. Lack of education is not to blame. "If education were a measure," says Linda Kruse, a vice president in human resources management at Prudential Federal Savings, "women in the financial industry should be farther along." Banks take pride in the fact that their industry is among the very few where someone with no formal education can rise to the top. Leon Harmon, president of First Interstate Bank, is an example. With only a high school diploma, Harmon began his career in 1946 as a file clerk and a messenger boy. Lack of experience, loyalty or longevity in the corporation also doesn't explain why women have not made it to the top. According to Shauna'a Walton, a senior vice president at W estem Savings, it is typical for women to have 20 to 30 years of experience· with one institution and still rank no higher than assistant vice president. The best explanation for the dearth of women at the top lies in the career paths that women have taken. Typically, women have entered as tellers, then progressing to "customer service representative" and then moving on to branch management or n higher level within the "operations" division.

Donna Killian, senior vice president at Capitol City Bank, the reward of 30 years of service. transactions-deposits and withdrawals-are tracked. Connie Robinson, a vice president at Pioneer Bank, describes these employees as "sitting in a corner taking care of the customers." It is a vital area-"vastly -µnderrated", says Robinson-but not a path to the executive suite. Operations "is the ·female area in banking," says Sandra Scott, a vice president and auditor at American Savings. She estimates that eighty to ninety percent of women in banking are in operations. Other areas where women tend to congregate are marketing, personnel, training, legal departments and data processing. Though there are many good jobs in these areas, they are not the places from which bank presidents emerge. Marketing, personnel and training may be considered expendable during periods of low profit. In other words, during lean years, people employed in these areas may find themselves out looking for a job. In comparison, few men ever begin their banking careers as tellers. They are more likely to begin in lending, credit or accounting. As the profit center of a bank, lending provides individuals with great opportunities for visibility and advancement. "This is where the power and the glory are," says Robinson, "and men covet it." Investment departments are also profit, making areas and like lending, tend to be male-0ominated. In sum, women in banks, as in life, have congregated in departments which provide "support functions." Meanwhile, men in banks strive to work where the money is being made. And, it's the latter that produces executive personnel. Women's choices, combined with bank managers' stereotypes about where women do best, make the failure of women to rise through the ranks a mutual responsibility. For the few women who set their goals on the executive suite, the going is slow. Historically, promotions given to women have been earned by endurance, and the goal they finally achieve is markedly "female" in character. Many of today's highest,ranking women in banking demonstrate this fact. At First Security Bank, three of the five female vice presidents are SO years old or more and have come up through the ranks to occupy positions in personnel, operations and the Eccles Foundation ( administering philanthropic grants). Doris Taggart, the first female vice president at Zion's First National Bank, retired this year after 38 years in banking, 19 of those with Zion's. -Among her duties as vice president: planning the receptions for the opening of new branches, running the children's Chris~s tree program and the Adopt,a, School program. Says Taggart, "We didn't have the opportunities that men had . I worked a lot harder and a lot longer to get where I did." Marian Southern is 64 years old and has been with Zion's 24 years. She started as a teller and last year was named a vice president in branch operations. Both Taggart and Southern say they accepted their lot. "We didn't expect much." Personal Barriers, Female and Male Lower expectations have definitely helped keep women out of the higher levels of banking. "Our gals have been a wee bit reluctant to strive for that senior level," says Robert Heiner, president of First Security Bank. 0 We- found they didn't like to take risks, that they wanted to be comfortable." Today, Heiner sees that as having changed. But women themselves mention lower expectations as a stumbling block. They also point to other culturally conditioned factors such as lack of confidence in their abilities, a need for security, and passivity. "It was hard to leave the security of my old job," says Robinson, referring to her Jirst big career move ( to another bank). "But careers aren't made of security." And according to Diana Johnson of First Federal Savings, "All the things that make us good in a service Another example of unconscious but damaging discrimination lies in the fact, reported by Johnson of First Federal Savings, that men are reluctant to give a woman the constructive criticism that they give other men. This reluctance cuts the the women off from feedback they need to deal with their shortcomings and to get ahead. (!There is an ingrained belief among men that a woman can't take it or that she'll take it wrong," says Johnson. And there are the ''superior ones," the second type of male banker who, according to Robinson, sincerely believes in male superiority because "it's God's plan." Whereas men who unconsciously discriminate are possible to work effectively with, Robinson believes the ''superior ones" will never change. She advises avoiding human of president vice Linda Kruse, them. According to Shauna'a Walton, the resources management at Prudential Federal Savings, leaving to start a most important thing a woman in banking consulting firm with Prudential should do is to be selective in the people client. first her becoming she works for.

Among Utah financial institutions, only credit unions /'_ show good representation of women in •• management. These smaller organizations afford women greater visibilty and the opportunity for better recognition for individual efforts. Smaller organizations also cannot usually afford the luxury of training new people and are therefore more aggressive in promoting talent from within. sharing and career counseling.

Most women bankers believe yes, that it's only a matter of time before a member of their sex will land in the executive suite. To them, ten years of affirmative action has not been enough. "There just hasn't been enough time," says Laura Headden, president of the National Association of Bank Women, Utah Chapter. "If we work hard and persevere, it'll happen," she says. Headden, age 34, is an assistant vice president at First Security Bank and is confident that within the next five to seven years, she will achieve "a very senior position." Eventually she would like to sit on the bank's board of directors and be recognized as a leader in the financial world. Donna Killian, a senior vice president at Capital City Bank, has seen a great deal of positive change in her 30 years of banking. "Women are moving up in management much more rapidly," she says. "They are taking advantage of training and educational opportunities and show more drive and push than ever before." Vee Car lisle, who has combined banking with a political career, also sees the situation as greatly improved since 1971 when she established the consumer services division at Tracy Collins Bank. "Women have made their mark," says Carlisle, who also sees herself as a role model and finds it "very satisfying" to help younger women along in their careers. "I think you do whatever you can set your mind to do." Shauna'a Walton is also optimistic. She predicts there will be a female bank president or chief executive officer in Utah within the next ten to fifteen years. "When it comes to money," says Walton, "people tend to be neuter." Working hard and taking chances has opened many doors for Linda Farrell, the youngest ( age 33) of the highest ranking women in Utah banking. On the "fast track," Farrell is leaving her present job at Western Savings and Loan where she is senior vice president for a position with a management consulting firm in Los Angeles. "I've never had a career plan," says Farrell, "but I've never hesitated to take advantage of opportunity." Leaving Utah may be what it takes, according to Elaine Weis, Utah's Commissioner of Financial Institutions and a past vice president at American Savings. She sees the climate in Utah as so conservative that there are "only limited career possibilities for women in the financial institutions of this state," and, says ' FITNESS INDUSTRY continued from p. 9 Marketing and advertising was another frustration for these fledgling businesswomen. Beveridge and Enniss found the idea of "selling" the Racqueteer particularly abhorrent. "Enid and I never pretended to know marketing," Beveridge explains, ubut we knew we wanted to make a comfortable profit and provide services to the members. We thought as long as the consultants we hired used their knowledge to stay within our philosophy, things would be fine. But sales representatives kept parading in, telling us to oversell memberships and cut our prices-all totally adverse to our way of thinking." "The first ad agency I approached," Bissell relates, "suggested a billboard showing a woman's behind with the caption, 'Bottom Line-Body Design.' Then they wanted to use the slogan, 'Keep him home tonight: Go to Body Design. 1 I found both notions extremely offensive." In desperation, Bissell designed her own campaign. The billboard captioned "Waist Away," showing a bikini-clad belly ( which she admits, when pressed, is hers) took the Utah Ad Weis, "no possibility for a woman to become president or chief executive unless it's of an outside bank." Says Weis, "Only in the big financial centers of New York and California, where it doesn't matter who you are as long as you make money, is there opportunity." Lois Owen, a vice president at First Interstate, is also pessimistic and unimpressed by recent history. uI thought it would change faster, that after ten to fifteen years this new generation would not be so biased." But she sees in the younger group today the same sort of female/ male stereotyping she thought was on its way out. "There is a lot of re--education still to be done," emphasizes Owen. Whether the new, deregulated environment will open more doors for women is also disputed. Many institutions such as First Interstate, Tracy Collins and Commercial Security Bank are in the process of cutting back on personnel. Zion's Bank and First Security have also recently reorganized to become "leaner, lower cost" operators. It looks as if it will be much harder for women-or men, for that matter-to advance, at least in commercial banks. On the other hand, the new environment is also a much more competitive one. Today, commercial banks, savings and loans, finance companies and stockbrokers can all offer the same services. "The competitive forces coming together are incredible," says Hinchman of American Savings. "The industry will need a lot of talent. We can't afford to ignore women ... the greatest force to eliminate prejudice is economic hecessity; we have all the ingredients for that." Is it worth pursuing? The business of finance is not easy work. It's very complex, increasingly competitive and changing constantly. To get ahead, one has to play by the rules the boys play by: a lot of hard work, many long days, and the kind of devotion to one's job that some men even question. The rewards? Money, influence and ultimately power. Women are still required to work twice as hard as their male counterparts. Says Roy Simmons, president of Zion's Bank, "No, it's not fair, but it's a fact."

"1 tried a direct mailing back East to advertise Valhalla," Dougan groans, remembering. "I had the highest rejection ever known in the history of direct mail. Not one, not ONE, of the 20,000 letters I sent out came back. Things began tb turn around a bit when Town and Country magazine featured us in one of their publications.'' Another obstacle these women faced was subduing their altruistic tendencies. "All of us in the human services," Dougan remarks, "go into it because we love to help people. I have yet to find a real Machiavellian in the fitness business. Every time we start to make a profit, we want to pour it back into the business to increase the service." Enniss and Beveridge concur. "Even though we've left education," Enniss comments, "our goal is still educating people. But the business world is very different from teaching school. In the classroom your first thought is, 'What can I do for the students?' It's hard for us, but we've finally had to start thinking dollar signs more than we used to."

Bissell boasts that, of the other aerobics businesses in Utah and around the country she's visited, her salaries are the highest she's found. Hourly wages range from $12 to $30. "If I had one thing to change in doing this all again," she says wryly, "it would be reducing my overhead in the area of payroll. Funny thing, when people are making $25 an hour, come raise time, they want to be making $50." Body Tech's employee relations are warm. With the airline, on the other hand, Bissell was just another number. "My supervisor didn't care a thing about me. She wouldn't even give me my wedding day off! Really! 'You'll just have to cancel it,' she said, 'and if you try trading the trip or calling in sick, I'll fire you.'" Now an employer herself, Bissell does things differently. "I was having problems with a key employee, and I didn't want to fire this guy. So I hired a clinical psychologist to sit with us for several sessions until we'd ironed everything out. We're still getting along fine.". Beveridge and Enniss believe their gender causes difficulties for some employees. Occasionally during an interview they'll ask point blank if an applicant would have trouble working for a woman. "We realize we're reaching into a male domain here- there just aren't facilities as involved as ours being run by women. Recently our racquetball coach quit over a dispute with Enid. We really feel he left because he felt so much conflict working for a women." The two are also sold on employee involvement, education and advancement. "We feel employees who are involved in the planning process will like their jobs better. We insist our people in college finish school. In fact, we structure their work schedules around their classes. We put our professional employees on salary because we feel this improves attitudes and is expected by the caliber of employee we want to attract and hire." * * * Interviewing these women over the course of several weeks, I found myself feeling their frustrations as well as their triumphs. I was experiencing, vicariously, what they had in building viable businesses from nothing. They had, each of them, persevered and overcome. Hackneyed as these ideals may be, I was proud of them, proud of what they'd accomplished. Sweating clean through my Lycra leotard will never be quite the same again. tw~mmr~~rn ,~:t,t<~11~~in1.'i Dawn Jacobson is a freelance writer who is a regular contributor to Network. NETWORK, JUNE 1984, 15 4#-y lfec/:er Live it or leave it R elocating in Salt Lake City could be "risky" for a woman, according to Savvy magazine. However, she may "reap rewards." In October, 1983, Savvy published its "Guide to the cities that offer women the best-and the worst-prospects for success." Salt Lake City was listed as a "sleeper" city with potential business and political dpportunities for women, while remaining a urisky" city for women because of its "anti-businesswoman tradition." As a recent relocator to Salt Lake, I'm aware of the dilemma. I and other recent arrivals I've talked to have a common kind of experience upon moving here: feeling isolated, yet feeling thrilled by the opportunities. Utah's economy is growing, and mor.e growth is coming. Companies such as American Express are relocating to Salt Lake City or expanding existing operations by bringing in employees from other cities. As a result, many career women are arriving in Salt Lake to establish themselves in the professional community. Over the past three years, I've talked with many of th~se newcomers. Many of us have heard each other (and ourselves) making a strangely familiar observation: ttThis place is really different." Suzanne Clow, a child care consultant at the Phoenix Institute, is a transplant from Texas. When she and her husband moved to Salt Lake, they immediately got a dog and called themselves a family. Remembering, she laughs about it: "I mean, we'd never wanted a dog qefore we came here." For many newcomers, the beauty of _ Utah's family values are often complicated by a sensed pressure to conform when the newcomers don't meet the community standard for "family" behavior. That sense of family behavior permeates the workplace and has a negative impact on women from Utah, says Marion Steeples, a business consultant who relocated here when her husband took a job at Westminster College. She took a job with Hercules and set her goals without realizing that there was anything different about the job culture in Utah. What she learned is that her expectations were higher than those of many other women she met. uThe women with a more traditional view of themselves perhaps don't see opportunity as I do. I didn't know the situation was different here, so I just went ~head. And I was promoted four times in three years. I think if women in Utah believed they had more choices and were willing to look for opportunity, they would be more successful." Many newcomers I've talked with express a sense that women are not as readily accepted as professionals here as they are elsewhere. Yes, Utah's economy is strong. Yes, there are companies who promote women. But there aren't many women in decision-making positions, and many newcomers say that men here are comparatively inexperienced in working alongside women as peers. Life at work is often a struggle. As a result of this struggle, women in Utah have found getting and maintaining contacts with other women a vital work function.

Phoenix Sojourn i counselor at the University of Utah, came to Salt Lake six years ago after living in Louisville, Denver, New York City, and Ithaca. She recalls that one of the reasons she and her family picked Salt Lake was the support she had felt from other women during an initial visit. "I feel that women here experience a need for networking, and so they learn to network exceptionally well." Newcomers talk about social life, too. One recent transplant, an ambitious businesswoman who asked not to be identified, commented on the Salt Lake scene: "The main reason I'm staying in Salt Lake is for outdoor recreation. As for restaurants, work life and night life-well, I'd prefer a more diverse menu for all three." While opportunities for outdoor recreation are rich, the prospects for evening socializing-especially for single women-are grim. Newcomers ask, "ls there life after five?" In a culture that values traditional family images so highly, there are few ways for singles to meet other singles. As the sleeper city continues to doze, I want to suggest several ways to resolve the dilemma of always feeling udifferent." First, if you are a new person in Salt Lake, you need to consciously make a decision: to stay, or to leave. If the answer is "stay," then you need to become actively involved in some aspect of the culture that suits you. This might mean joining organizations, working for social causes, attending a church, or joining a special-interest recreation group such as the Wasatch Mountain Club, the Beehive Track Club, or the Sierra Club. Or you might make regular NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPAIR YOUR LEAKY PLUMBING OR YOUR LEAKY ROOF, RE• PLACE YOUR CRACKING SIDEWALK OR PANEL YOUR FAMILY ROOM, PAINT YOUR PEELING ·PORCH OR REPLACE YOUR SAG· GING STEPS, BECAUSE ... WE'LL DO IT FOR YOU. trips to the ski resorts, as Courtney Hall ( a recent New York transfer) does. Many women survive and thrive here by selecting some activity-often something they've enjoyed to some extent before, in other places-and making it a way of establishing a support base here. Others take photography classes at the Art Center, or join soccer or softball teams, even though they've never done those things before. For business and professional contacts, the list of women's networks available in Salt Lake City provides a good sampling of potential resources. The Index section of every Network provides a partial list of these organizations. In addition, your profession may have a professional association with a branch here. - Those who don't become actively involved in the ways listed above generally leave Utah to plant roots in more nourishing soil. These people have not failed-they've simply chosen to live somewhere that doesn't offer so many obstacles to personal development and lifestyle. Salt Lake is different. Looking back on my own life here, I'm amazed that my own adjustment was so long and tedious. I've travelled quite a lot, lived in many different states, and even spent three months living in Taiwan. Yet the most difficult place for me to feel acceptance in was right here in Salt Lake City. (I'm still here, by the way, and for the time being, pleased to be.)

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1984, $13.95 cloth $6.95 paper. ''N ineteen Eighty,Four could be a watershed year in American political history. . It marks the first time that women, through their voting power, their numbers and their organized strength, could decide who will be the next President of the United States, which party will control Congress, who will serve in the governors' mansions across the nation, who will serve in state legislatures, and who will fill thousands of elective posts at the town, city, county and state levels." So predicts Bella Abzug, dean of political activists, in her new book, Gender G.ap. According to Abzug, the "gender gap" is the phenomenon-first noticed in the 1980 election, which widened in the 1982 election and is expected to widen still more in 1984-in which women are voting differently from men, and are voting against President Reagan's policies and candidates. She points out that women hold more progressive views than men on the "gender gap" issues: war and peace, the economy, equity, environmental protection and social welfare. Noting that women are a majority of the electorate-they outnumbered male voters by six million in 1980-she predicts that women voting in record numbers could unseat Reagan and influence national electoral politics as never before. In the book she also covers events of the 1970s which contributed to the "gap," the way in which both the Democratic and Republican parties are responding to it, and she speculates about what it might be like when women and men share power equally. The author, a civil rights lawyer, a past three,term Congresswoman, a past U.S. Senate candidate, New York mayoral candidate, and founder of the National Women's Political Caucus, speaks with authority because she was and continues to be in the center of the events she describes. A who's who and what's what of women's politics, the book was a trip down memory lane for me. The national political conventions of 1972, 1976 and 1980 are here. So is the formation of the National Women's Political Caucus, the McGovern campaign for President which thrust me and many others into the political process, and the International Women's Year Conference in Houston, Texas. (Will any of us ever forget the precursor to Houston-the now,famous IWY Utah Women's meeting which drew 13,000 women to the Salt Palace during that hot summer of 1977?) Abzug also comments upon why so few women run for political office and why even fewer win. Lack of money and lack of support from the political parties are the chief causes, she says. She also gives an insider's account of recent elections, including her own, and spices all of this with her unique wit and unconventional wisdom. Having heard Abzug speak on many occasions, I can vouch for her strong convictions and concern. That energetic commitment jumps off the pages of this book. In one chapter, "The Possible Dream," Abzug wonders how it would be if the U.S. had a female national president, Supreme Court Justices, cabinet officers and congressional leaders. Says Abzug, "It would be justice at last, the first time in recorded history that a country was run almost exclusively by women. Even if some turned out not to be geniuses or great leaders, they could hardly do worse than our male leaders have done-and they would probably do better, if only because they would come into political power without a sizeable vested interest in the institutions and forces that are turning the American Dream into a nightmare." Abzug is not content to talk passively about women's potential power. She wants to translate ideas into action, as always. With experience gained in a six,state pilot project she directed as president of WOMEN USA, she suggests a three,step prescription to insure that :women have significant influence in the 1984 elections. She says we must organize to register women to vote where they work, in their homes, and at meetings they normally attend; educate them on campaign issues, candidate positions and votihg records; and make voting convenient for women by . offering them rides to the polls, providing day care services, and explaining voting procedures. "The Gender Gap has been established as a political fact of life," says this seasoned politician. "It is endlessly being measured, dissected, probed, analyzed, and debated by pollsters, academics, sociologists, politicians, the media, and by women themselves. Most agree that it is not a flash in the pan, a sometime thing. It will remain." With the presidential campaigns of 1984 already warming up, we should soon be able to find out whether Abzug's analysis of the national mood is reflected in Utah politics. Eloise McQuown is an associate librarian at the University of Utah 's Marriott Library.

Models open 11-7 pm NETWORK, JUNE 1984, 21 On yo~r marks, Entrepreneu rs! A few months ago, President Reagan .released his 1983 Annual Report on the State of Small Business, and the statistics were fairly impressive. While we have always known that sm~ll businesses have long formed the cornerstone of our national economy, this report indicated that they are becoming an even stronger force than ever before. It also seems that women, who are fast becoming a major factor in the work force, are also taking a strong position in their own small businesses. Here are some interesting facts: * From 1977 to 1980, the number of female-owned sole proprietorships increased 33 percent. * From 1980 to 1982, the number of self-employed women rose from 2,096,000 to 2,309,000-a 10 percent gain. * In 1982, nearly half of all women who worked had preschool children, compared • to 10 percent in 1948. * Most women-owned businesses are in the retail trade and service industries. For the first three quarters of 1983, new business starts were up 13 percent over the same period in 1982, and there was a significant decline in business bankruptcies in 1983 (over 10 percent). There is no question that the resurgent success of small business is due in great part to the confidence of business owners in the economic recovery and their willingness to invest their capital and take risks. i ·•ill If«• It is also interesting to note that these businesses-many of them with ·fewer than 100 employees-created all the new jobs during the deepest part of the recession. While large businesses lost over 1.5 million jobs, small businesses created over 25 million, for a net gain during 1981 and 1982 of 984,000. The study was broken down into regions of the U.S., and 85 percent of the new jobs created between 1980 and 1982 came from tQree regions, including the Mountain States of Montana, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming. In Utah, we rank very high nationally in the percent rise in proprietorship income (9th) and in percent rise in wage and salary income (10th). Utah has always been a small business state, with well over 80 percent of our citizens employed by those enterprises. New business incorporations-almost all representing small firms-rose 12.24 percent during the first six months of 1983. During that time over 2,000 new corporations were . formed, while in 1982, the total for the year was 1,837. What this means to many of us is that .now may just be one of the best times in history to launch ourselves into a business. If you have ever had a burning desire to establish your own enterprise, take the time to look into the feasibility of doing just that. Write up a business plan and present it to your banker or accountant to test its practicality. One sure test is whether or not you are attempting to enter a field familiar to you or aki_r. to your background. Most business failures result from lack of knowledge, so don't try to embark on a venture that requires a whole new area of expertise ( such as a food franchise if your background is in social work). An excellent source of information is the Small Business Administration, which offers classes in various aspects of owning and operating a business. Attendance at one of these classes will usually either strengthen your resolve to go into business or turn you away from the idea. There are professionals in the SBA who can offer advice and, if you need financing and the business idea is deemed worthy, can provide assistance in obtaining financing. For an already established, successful small business needing capital for expansiop, there are several areas of financing available if the ability to repay the loan can be demonstrated. A federal program, The Small Business Economic Revitalization Program, was instituted to assist such businesses, and Utah has a state program that operates under those federal guidelines. Information on the Utah program may be obtained from the Utah Economic Development Division at 533-5325. Another source for local financing is the Deseret Certified Development Company; a private financing entity. These agencies use monies from the SBA "503" loan program, as well as other sources of financing, and will work with a business owner in obtaining funding for · fixed asset expansion. They will not provide financing for working capital, debt consolidation or repayment, or refinancing. Eligible types of deals include machinery or equipment, land/ building acquisition, building construction or expansion or renovation and modernization. Once you determine that your business concept is workable-or that you need money for expansion of an existing business-start looking for the means to accomplish your goals. The time was never better for a budding entrepreneur.

Until very recently, I'd never paid much attention to deli-style food, or specialty foods served in portions from glas~fronted cases. Since my awakening, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time standing in front of delicatessen cases, admiring the things inside, whimpering with pleasure. This pursuit may have something to do with being involved in the publishing business, which seems to ensure that its workers know something about the Good Life while being able to afford nary an item or service associated with it. Whatever the reason, I find that I get pleasure and some modest instruction from peering in, and occasionally, I buy things. For me and for a few others I know, conversion began about the same time that the Upper Crust opened. The name of the shop is a nice pun in danger of becoming a literal statement of fact. It's located on Foothill Drive, in deliberate proximity to the thickest wallets in town. Those of us who expect a deli and coffee-house to produce the glorious ferment of the modern city-its sights, its smells, its diversity, etc.-are a little intimidated by the Upper Crust. Personally, as I go in, I always tuck in my shirt, check my fly, and try to look respectable, futile though it may be. The offerings within are a considerable incentive to shape up, however. The cases are the cleanest iri town, and the contents are a perfect match. The Upper Crust provender is the most stunningly beautiful array of food-in composition and display-that I've ever seen. The deli stuff that I'm most attracted to-the greek salad, the pasta salad, the potato salad-have been magnificent there and I've enjoyed the bread, as well. Others speak highly of the complex croissants, desserts and other things inside the case. Others have spoken about a certain languor of service found there, as well; several of us watched slack-jawed with wonder as a young server made a 10,minute job out of brewing a solitary _cup of coffee with the customer standing at the counter pawing the air and panting in expectation. In fairness, that took place some time ago, and things are said to move along faster now. Another comparative newcomer is the Salt Lake Roasting Company, located just north of the Hall of Justice, on 4th South. The Roasting Company roasts and sells coffee along with selling premium cheeses and an inventive assortment of deli-style dishes. By the way, there are times downtown--east of the Roasting Company along 4th South generally-when I can smell the coffee roasting. We need this fine stink badly; I vote it the most desirable pollution in town. The Roasting Company has several cases with admirable things within. Recently, I peered into one containing a casual jumble of sausages and cheeses-most imported, most pretty exotic. I especially admired a chunk of Gouda with a sign saying, "The World's Best! in enthusiastic handwriting. Tossed in next to this aristocrat was a shallow wooden crate fitted with French sausages bristling with strange fibrous wrappings. This case and others also contain huge wheels of cheese. The food is displayed in these disparate cases with a kind of ratty, disordered splendor. The food takes a similar approach, wild-eyed and adventurous. It might be bratwurst one day, steamed mussels or a Joe's Special the next. Recently, pressing my nose to the case, I saw an unusually colorful potato salad there. I bought a helping for lunch. It had an eyewatering charge of red onions in it, and it haunted my thoughts all day. Finally, about 10:00 p.m., I couldn't stand it. I drove the mile or two to the Roasting Company, just before they closed, and bought all the rest, smug as a pig. Another recent discovery is the cheese case at the 2nd Avenue Market, where a vast assortment of wrapped cheeses are displayed in an attractive case convenient to peer into. It gives an effect similar to "bigscreen involvement," which I heard some TV fanatic discussing the other day. I made a considerable acquaintance with a gloriously-veined chunk of Stilton that day. I was broke and did not buy, but I'll be back. The 2nd Avenue case is also a little more democratic than most in that the door is on the front, and the admirer can open the door and pursue the acquaintance freely. It is the most inviting display of ambitious cheese in town. Marshall Ralph 'te~tau 'tant 1352 ~o. 2100 Cad ~aft ...Cake Cit9 15 % 099 On 9athe:.•i'i CJ:)a!J § ift Ce:.'l.tificatE.i Sweet Summertime!
