Despite the women’s rights revolution, a study of women in rural
eas of five Southern states indicates a continued emphasis in the
aditional roles of nurse, teacher, secretary and housewife.
The women’s movement seems to have had no effect on career
hoices for rural women, said sociologists Dr. J. Steven Picou and
rthur G. Cosby of Texas A&M Univerity.
“It’s really amazing that this is still occurring. We are talking about
:cent opinions, not something that was happening 20 years ago,”
icou said.
The six-year regional study was based on 1,268 interviews with
'omen and men, both black and white, in Texas, Louisiana,
labama, Georgia and North Carolina. The project focused on eco-
omically disadvantaged youth and began in 1966 when they were
sphomores in high school, then as seniors and finally again four years
fter graduation.
“There is an obvious need for fetter occupational guidance in these
jral areas,” Picou said. “Rural females just haven’t had the role
lodels of successful women that are so often apparent in the cities,
hey see only what they have access to: women in their traditional
ibs.
White females were more inclined to follow traditional roles, said
bsby. More than 28 percent wanted to become housewives, while
inly 3 percent of the black females in the study expressed a similar
esire.
“This doesn’t mean white women don’t want to go to college,” he
Jid. “They were going to college more than black males.”
Picou said the high school years are significant in determining
iture educational attainment and career goals. The most important
actors for educational achievement were aspirations formed in high
Khool.
The black respondents in the study had high aspirations and, as
oung adults, planned on future college and vocational programs, in
pite of lower achievements than whites after high school.
These findings suggest a need for continuing educational oppor-
tmities for southern rural blacks,” Picou said.
“Although gains in educational and occupational achievements
ave been made by women and minorities in the United States dur-
ngthe last decade,” Picou said, “economically disadvantaged south-
rn rural youth could be called the forgotten minority.”

United Press International
ODESSA, Texas — Teen-ager
Ann McKinnon left tiny Wells Col
lege in upstate New York last May,
joined her parents for “three or
four” days at home in Flint, Mich.,
then caught a plane to West Texas to
become an oilfield roustabout.
The 18-year-old, participating in a
dual-degree program at the 510-
student college southwest of Syra
cuse, seemed a likely candidate for a
Texas-size dose of culture shock.
“I don’t know. I think I just kind
of carry my own little world around
with me,” she says cheerfully. “I get
along anywhere.
McKinnon, a summer engineer
and roustabout with Conoco Oil
Co., is participating in her college’s
“3-2” program. The program allows
students to collect two degrees by
spending three years at Wells and a
summer and two years at a cooperat
ing university.
At the end of five years, McKin
non expects to have received a lib
eral arts degree from Wells and a
bachelor of science degree from
Texas A&M University in petro
leum engineering.
Much of the credit for develop
ment of the program is given former
Texas legislator and lawyer Sissy
Farenthold, president of the Au
rora, N.Y., college.
But Farenthold, who enlisted the
help of Texas A&M, George Wash
ington University in St. Louis and
Columbia University in New York
City in setting up the program,
credits Wells’ trustee Gladys
Heldman with planning the
venture.
The 111-year-old school, nestled
alongside eel-shaped Cayuga Lake,
is more famous for its gorgeous
campus and afternoon art gallery
teas than its production of oilfield
roustabouts.
But Farenthold hopes to broaden
the school’s genteel image and she
refers to Ann McKinnon as “our
pioneer.”
After all, she adds, “It’s in engi
neering where there are so few
women today percentage-wise;
many fewer than in law or
medicine.”
Ann, who says “the money is
good,” works a 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
day, then catches a ride home to her
trailer at the University of Texas of
the Permian Basin.
There, she says, T come home,
take a shower, fix supper and col
lapse.
Although she earns $1,350 a
month, the work is difficult and
hardly glamorous.
“Not with all the paint and the
grease and the dirt. It’s pretty
dangerous. You have to have steel
toed boots in case you drop a
wooden box or a crescent wrench on
your foot. And your hard hat,” she
says.
McKinnon concedes that her
