A lack of encouragement from family and peers may explain why few women are earning advanced degrees in math or physics, University of Michigan researchers have concluded. The study sought to determine why in 1989 and 1990 American institutions awarded only 158 doctorate degrees in mathematics and 129 doctorates in physics to women.

That was about 18 percent of all such degrees awarded in mathematics and about 9 percent of physics doctorates. "The small numbers of women studying graduate level mathematics is especially puzzling, because men and women graduate with math majors in roughly equal numbers nationwide," said D.J. Lewis, professor of mathematics. The study found no significant difference between male and female undergraduates in intelligence, grades, high school preparation or innate ability to handle a demanding math and science curriculum. The study was based on surveys of 249 Michigan students and research at other universities.

Major findings included: Women are more sensitive to a lack of positive reinforcement from faculty and peers than men. Male students reported a higher incidence of active encouragement from faculty than did female students. Women responded much more negatively to poor quality instruction, large class sizes and competitive situations than men. hot its each piece 9.97 (compare '20; SAVE 50 AT STEIN MART!)

The programming, heard on same headsets that travelers have used for prerecorded programming, will be a radio version of CNN Headline News. Though advertiser-supported, programming won't be interrupted by as many commercials as on the typical AM news station, Cooke says. How quickly air passengers the service on Delta depends on how soon equipment be installed.

Eventually Sky Radio will be provided on other airlines. New Spanish format gives WUNA a boost When the managers of WVCF-AM (1480) converted the money-losing Ocoee-based religious station to Spanish programming last October, they wanted to show they meant business. WVCF is now WUNA that's UNA for No. 1, says general manager Juan Nieves. Last fall WUNA became the fourth station serving Central Florida's burgeoning Spanish-speaking population.

It has quickly become an influence to contend with. "In the short time we've been the air," Nieves says, "We've got more advertising accounts the air than any other Spanish-language station." To reach the multinational Spanish-speaking population in Orlando, Nieves has built programming around news and music hits from not only Puerto Rico the foundation, he says, the region's other Spanish stations but also from Mexico, Cuba and Latin America. WVCF's format "didn't work all," he said. "The only choice to bring something better than the other stations, to bring something different, to bring something unique so we can compete." Sound bites Michael Collins, formerly a Gainesville Top 40 station, joined WOMX-FM (105.1) this month on the station's 7 p.m.-to-midnight shift. Collins, 30, a native of North Dakota, has been warming up in Florida for seven years.

Walt Disney World last week awarded WUCF-FM (89.9) $2,500, citing the non-commercial station as "an outstanding example of cultural and community programming." WDIZ-FM (100.3) will air The Bruce Springsteen Story from 9 p.m. to midnight Sunday. The syndicated special will feature the rocker's most popular music as well as interviews with him and members of the Street Band. Thoughts about what you hear Central Florida radio?

The host of American Public Radio's daily magazine of business and finance (WMFE-FM 90.7 weekdays p.m.) began playing tourist in Central Florida after appearing Tuesday at a WMFE luncheon dedicating the station's new public broadcast facility. He might even have picked up a story idea or two. After one rain-drenched day at Epcot Center, Angle said he wished he had equity in Disney's enterprising rain poncho business. Whatever story Angle relates on Marketplace, you can be sure it will be told with your pocketbook in mind. The show, which Columbia Journalism Review called the best business program on radio or television, has distinguished itself for reporting financial news in the language of the consumer.

"The difference is we are a show about what's going on in the world with an economic perspective instead of a show about business and finance for only those who follow such things," says Angle, who has hosted the show for almost two years. The Texas native, 45, brought 10 years of experience with National Public Radio to his job at Marketplace, including six years as NPR's White House correspondence. As a White House reporter, which Angle describes as "days and days of boredom punctuated by sheer terror," he covered five U.S.Soviet summits, as many economic summits and Reaganomics. The stories covered on Marketplace, whether they be a presidential candidate's economic plan, a stock market report or the effect of a Third World crisis on U.S. supermarkets, are the most compelling issues of the day, Angle says.

Marketplace, produced at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, today is heard by 1.7 million people on 148 public radio stations. Angle believes there's potential for audience growth. "I think we've got tremendous potential because of the issues. These issues are going to be current for the rest of the '90s. It's not just the recession.

It's that everybody is worried about their future." 'Sky Radio' to debut this spring on Delta Frequent air travelers who feel lost in time en route to Atlanta, Los Angeles or some other far-flung, destination are soon to get some relief. USA Today Sky Radio will begin a rollout of its live news broadcast for airplane passengers on Delta Air Lines flights this spring. "It will be the first live anything on airlines other than a thoughtful pilot who may have tuned in to a station down below," says Holland Cooke, vice president of radio.
