Education of rural women
evaluated in state report
Although the number of rural Nebraska
women in the labor force has increased by
almost half since 1970, their educational
needs are not being met, according to a re
port published by the Women's Employ
ment Opportunities Division of the Neb
raska Division on the Status of Women.
The report, published in September,
said rural women do not have equal access
and opportunity to educate and support
themselves. Efforts to obtain equal services
and education are hampered by lack of
adequate information.
Although cooperative extension
agencies, which are funded at the local,
state and federal levels, function in all of
Nebraska's 93 counties, they are based on
more traditional sex role models, the re
port said.
Need different courses
For example, women's extension clubs
provide classes in food and nutrition,
clothing, health, housing and family life.
"Only recently have courses been offer
ed in estate planning and consumer protec
tion." Nebraska Educational Television offers
credit and non-credit courses through the
State University of Nebraska program,
which helps those in rural areas. However,
"unless a student is near a library resource
or learning center, there are no in-depth
research facilites to supplement TV and
correspondence work."
Of rural Nebraska women, 66.7 percent
are expected to be in the labor force in
1979, which is a 49 percent increase over
1970. Among women aged 16 to 22, the
increase is 90 percent over 1970 figures.
Unemployment high
Unemployment among rural women is
higher than the state unemployment rate
of 4 percent. Among white rural females,
who make up 99.1 percent of the rural
female population, the unemployment rate
is 4.7 percent. For black women, who com
prise .2 percent, and women of other races,
who make up .7 percent, the unemploy
ment rate is 13.5 percent.
According to the report, "the legal
status of women is of vital concern for the
rural women, especially those involved in
family farming. Farm wives have been par
ticularly affected by the inheritance tax
laws which assume that all property is
owned by the husband. On his death, the
wife pays an inheritance tax."
In conclusion, the report said, "Farm
women and girls make significant contribu
tions as unpaid farm workers and in some
instances as owners and managers. To be
successful, they need training and educa
tion in all aspects of the farm: farm man
agement, financial planning, estate plan
ning, and related areas of the law."
NUPIRG to sponsor booths
providing election information
By Denice Smee
The Nebraska University Public Interest
Research Group sponsored booths in the
Nebraska Union will provide students in
early November with information about
the general election, NUPIRG director
Margy Meister said.
"We want to make people aware of the
important issues in the election and get
them to vote," Meister said.
The information will primarily cover
three areas: the regents who are up for re
election, an energy proposal, proposition
three and the bottle bill.
The recents up for election are Edward
Schwartzkopf and Leo Hill in the First Dis
trict and Harlan M. Nelson and Kermit
Hansen in the Second District.
Meister said NUPIRG will try to put to
gether biographical sketches on the regents.

"It will be "what every student should
know about their regents," she said.
She said NUPIRG wants students to
take a more active role in elections. She
added that their parents and friends may
then become interested.
"Many people outstate don't even know
who they (the regents) are or what they
do," she added.
The energy proposal, proposition three,
states that Nebraskans will not be taxed for
increased property value if they install
energy systems powered by the wind, sun,
water, or solid waste conversion. Meister
said this is strongly supported by a large
number of people in the NUPIRG office.
"We're not trying-to push students into
voting one way or the other, but we want
to let them know about the issues," she
said. Passage of the bottle bill would re
quire a five cent deposit on beer and pop
containers.
NUPIRG as a group advocates passage
of the bottle bill, Meister said.
NUPIRG contributes labor to the
Nebraskans for Returnable Containers,
Inc., which is the group lobbying for the
bill's passage, she said.
NUPIRG prepared a slide presentation
on the bottle bill that is available upon re
quest, Meister said. The lobbying group
paid for the presentation.
NUPIRG is also discussing the possibil
ity of making bottle bill presentations to
various groups such as to the Greek houses
just before the election, she said.
No definite plans concerning these pres
entations have been made yet, she added.
