Farm women — a misunderstood group but a potentially strong
female labor force — have not traditionally invested time and money
in training and education because jobs are not readily available for
them, a researcher at Texas A&M University says.
Concerning farm women’s need to work, Texas A&M sociologist
Dr. Elizabeth Maret said Friday, “The people that live in these areas
have to drive to buy their groceries, market their products and care
for their sick. Rising costs affect them like they do anyone else.
Urban assumptions about the conservatism of rural areas are also
false, Maret said. They are no more conservative than anyone else
and in some cases, they are more liberal.
“Rural areas have never succumbed to the idea that a woman’s
place is only in the home. I believe you have more of this notion in
urban areas, she added.
The sociologist said rural women frequently are ignored by Ameri
can industry because companies think they don’t want to leave the
farm and don’t need the money.
The study, however, indicated many farm incomes were at or
below poverty level and the only reason rural women did not seek
outside employment was because they traditionally were unsuc
cessful at finding jobs.
The two-year study, which Maret conducted with graduate student
Lillian Chenoweth, included more than 1,500 women living in rural
areas. An area with a population of 2,500 residents or less was consid
ered rural.
Award-winning film shown
Werner Herzog’s “Everyman
for Himself and God Against All
(The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser)
is the first film in the New Ger
man Cinema to play in the Texas
A&M University area. The MSC
Arts Committee will show the
film tonight at 8 p.m. in the MSC
Basement Coffeehouse. Tickets
are available at the box office in
Rudder Tower for $1.
“Every Man for Himself and
God Against All” is based on a
historical event. One day in the
1860s a young man named Kas
par Hauser appeared in a town in
Germany. He could not speak
and was barely able to stand.
Taken in by the townspeople, he
was taught to speak, read and
write. As mysteriously as he first
appeared, he was murdered.
spent most of his life in institu
tions. He brings the character to
life in almost magical terms.
The New German Cinema is
composed of directors whose
works have come into promi
nence in the ’70s. With Herzog,
such directors as Fassbinder and
Wenders have made this the
most exciting time in German
Cinema since the expressionism
of the late ’20s.
WERNER HERZOG
Bruno S., a non-actor who por
trays Hauser, has a background
similar to the character he plays.
He was abandoned as a child and
Herzog’s films are noted for
unusual locales and techniques,
while the movement as a whole
is marked by a formal, distant
aesthetic approach.
The film won the Grand Jury
Prize at the Cannes Film Festi
val in 1975 and runs 110 min
utes.

Soviet President Leonid
Brezhnev Saturday issued a stern
warning to the United States to put
aside any thoughts of intervening to
keep the Shah of Iran in power.
Brezhnev said such action woidd be
viewed as a matter affecting Russia’s
security interests.
New anti-shah violence broke out
in parts of Iran. Reports reaching
the Iranian capital of Tehran Satur
day said troops and demonstrators
clashed in several sections of the
country, leaving at least three pro
testors dead and two others
wounded. Casualty reports from
some areas were not available.
The Soviet Union, Brezhnev said,
"which maintains traditional good
neighbor relations with Iran, states
resolutely that it is against any
foreign interference in the internal
affairs of Iran by anyone, in any form
and under any pretext.”
The Soviet leader said his nation,
which borders Iran to the north,
views the current unrest in Iran as
“a purely internal affair and the
questions involved in them shoidd
be decided by the Iranians them
selves.
“Any interference, especially mil
itary interference, in the affairs of
Iran — a state which directly bor
ders on the Soviet Union — would
be regarded by the U.S.S.R. as a
matter affecting its security inter
ests,” Brezhnev said in a special
statement in Pravda’s Sunday edi
tion.
The Communist Party newspaper
carried the text of Brezhnev’s re
sponse to a Pravda question about
his assessment of foreign press re
ports “on interference by Western
powers, especially the United
States, in the events in Iran and
even the possibility of military
intervention by them.”
Brezhnev replied: “What puts
one on guard is the fact that officials
of the states concerned actually do
not deny such reports.
“If they deny attempts to inter
fere in Iran’s internal affairs — as
was done recently by the U.S. pres
ident — they right away make res
ervations which do not exclude the
possibility of such interference
under an appropriate excuse."
The United States has said in
powerless to intervene in theeventi
in Iran but Brezhnev’s statement^
cused on what he termed
American refusal to exclude the pos
sibility of action to save the shall
he were in danger of being over
thrown.
The new premier, Gen. Ghokl
Reza Azhari, head of the 12-day-oyj
interim military governm«at|
brought in to control the riotii|
said Saturday his aim was toresta
peace and order so his successaF 1 ' 1 ;

American oil experts Saturday sas
Iran’s crucial oil industry was a

two-week strike. They said oil pi}
