Temperatures Sadat's wifi By Ron Brackett Three years after the assassination of her husband Egyptian president An war Sadat, Jihan Sadat still says the anniversary of that Oct. 6 event is a very hard day. She still asks "Why?" "He was a great man ? searching for peace ? and he paid his life for it. We were two partners complementing each other, understanding each other, loving each other. It was very hard to lose him." "For peace he died," she said, adding it was better to die that way than without doing anything. "He left oenina nis beliefs and his ideas." SADAT AGREED to talk to a few reporters last Wednesday in the library of USC President James Holderman's home. She and the Holdermans have been friends for several years. This was her third visit to the university. Holderman introduced her as a "first lady of the world," and Sadat displayed the characteristics of such a woman. She wore m dit?nifir?rt ornv v;nit ? ?o o* with a simple gold necklace. The bright lights and television cameras had little noticeable effect on her as she discussed her life. "I'm a liberated woman," she said. However, she added, "I believe two bosses at home is wrong. There is one boss, and that is the husband. When you give him respect and love, he Rives you much more than you want." This attitude, however, has not dampened her efforts for women's rights outside the home. Sadat frequently lectures on the status of women in Egypt, a status improved during her husband's presidency. She was instrumental in having a civil rights law passed. This law, called I : SI.. -* .

Sadat said she was happy about Geraldine Ferraro running for vicc president in the United States. "The idea is very nice for a feminist." However, she would not discuss the contenders for the office of president because she didn't want to impose herself on American politics. She is content to concentrate her political activity in Egypt. She said the government should give women more facilities, such as daycare centers and low-cost laundry services, so they don't have to leave their jobs. "She is serving her country there also. The whole burden is on the woman in our country." But taking care of a family is not ~ i 1? j ly a uuiucn. ror racial, a family is "the best gift from God . . . a good family with close ties."

She said she was usually portrayed in the film as kissing her husband. "The kissing must have been the best part," she said with a laugh. The interview ended with Sadat announcing that she would teach a course at USC in the near future. The course would deal with the role of women in the world, stressing the part of tgyptian women.
