of Pierce University.

"Some studies conducted by Bronston College, which is also located in a small town,

reveal that both male and female professors are happier living in small towns when their

spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. Therefore, in the interest of

attracting the most gifted teachers and researchers to our faculty and improving the

morale of our entire staff, we at Pierce University should offer employment to the

spouse of each new faculty member we hire. Although we cannot expect all offers to be

accepted or to be viewed as an ideal job offer, the money invested in this effort will

clearly be well spent because, if their spouses have a chance of employment, new

professors will be more likely to accept our offers."

trend began shortly after harmful bacteria were found in a few raw Gulf Coast oysters.

But scientists have now devised a process for killing the bacteria. Once consumers are

made aware of the increased safety of Gulf Coast oysters, they are likely to be willing to

pay as much for Gulf Coast as for northeastern Atlantic Coast oysters, and greater

profits for Gulf Coast oyster producers will follow.
