compensation

[JANE NELSON <JNELSON@UWYO.EDU>]

This question came through on the WAC list.  It's definitely appropriate for
this list, so I am posting it here, with permission from the original sender. 
I told her I'd collect all responses and send them to her.  And she may also
subscribe to wcenter, herself. --Jane Nelson
