Hayslett Women’s rights have ridden the crest of the wave around the world in recent years. The nation of ie was swept up in the onrushing tide. In a society where, just a few short years ago, women hid behind the draping cloak of black chadores, were seldom seen in public and were considered by their men to have more hair than brains, these women began, not only to attend school, but to teach, hold respon- sible positions in business and government, own property and serve in the armed forces. However, even though Iran became a rapidly advancing power, freedom for its women was not completely. won. An example is the law that a married woman could not hold her own passport, but must travel on -her husband's By Mary Kelley passport and then only with his written permission. A case that highlights the dire consequences of such a policy con- cerns a young American woman who fell in love with and married an lranian student attending the same university as she. After grad- uation the newlyweds settled in the groom's native country where his bride eventually took a teaching position at an international school for Americans. The couple lived in bliss and eventually made plans to have a child. When the woman was five months pregnant, her husband’s Iranian wife whom, unbeknownst to his American wife, he had married before going to the United States, demanded that he come back to live with her. He did. He also refused to give permission for his American wife to leave Iran and event is be a festiv President Donnelly yesterday. that Alpena Community College will, as a movement toward conserving energy, relocate the East Campus building to the main cam- pus, Sunday, April 1. It was suggested by the Student Senate that the college utilize its immediate resources for the project. Keith Titus, speech instructor, says that his discussion class was asked to hold an enlightening session Wed- nesday, March 28, for the college community. During the session they will dis- cuss the best possible location and the hazzards of transporting the building. Possibilities for transporting the 80-year old building are: commis- sioning Joe Faber’s psychology stu- dents to run a survey on the number of telepathic students who would be willing to expend energies for the project, (2) begging Wally Strom’s chemistry classes to invent a shrin- king potion to reduce the building to a handy size that could fit be- tween the edge of Johnson Street and the centerline, (3) or trapping ‘the hot air generated by the faculty concerning the jukebox in Van Lare Hall to inflate 3,000 gaily colored balloons to float the building to its new location. It was suggested by Gerry Hardesty’s welding students that all three possible solutions be combined to make the task as easy as possible. picture for Bee aes to one. The dorm residents, who ae brate every weekend, indicated to President Donnelly that they are planning a parade to lead the buil- ding to its new destination. Final plans are expected to be made Sun- day, March 31, at 6:30 p.m. in the piano room of Wilson Dormitory. During a recent interview by Campus Update with the north wall of the East Campus building, the building disclosed that it was un- “happy with the proposed transition. It revealed that VLH and it have a personality conflict and refused to elaborate further, saying that since the birth of the project, a nervous condition has greatly affected its heating system.

The Iranian government had no provisions to force him to do so. At this point, escalating turmoil in Iran reached a point that forced the indefinite closure of all inter- national schools, leaving the Amer- ican woman without a job. The Iranian government, itself crumbling in a revolution, could not help, © and the U.S. Embassy also in a- precarious and uncertain situation found its hands tied. With the new Iranian government less sympathetic to Americans and their plight than the previous regime, the future of this young lady and her unborn child are very bleak indeed. As she-is pulled under in the rising tide of male-dominated Islamic tradition on the upswing in that country, there sinks with her Iran’s newly-found women’s freedom.

Student Senate President Paul Meyers and Student Activities Direc- tor Henry Valli feel that the poor turnout by the community was due to the numerous activities taking place during the same time slot. One hint that numerous activities in the community affected the 50- person attendance is the fact that there were more students from Os- coda than there were from Alpena.
