asked its students studying abroad to come home and fight, he would ro.
"I think that our'duty, but (if students go) I don't think it will have much effect," he said.
MOHAMMAD AFISHR, Tehran senior, had 'similar views'.
"It it gets bad, I surely would go back," he said. "If they call me up or dread我, well he'd to get defend your country. I hope a settlement exists between us, but I don't think the war will end very soon."
Students who said they would not fight for Iran usually based their decisions on their dislike of the oppressive regime.
"Personally, I never did like Khomeini," said Shahram Tazighadeh, Tehran senior. "In the first place, he's a joker. He has not done one positive thing since he took over.
"Oh sure, he overhew the shah, but he's worse than the shah. All he's succeeded in doing is killing a bunch of people and getting us into a war.
"Would I fight for him? No way; he not worth
it. Why my parent don't get killed or
itself."
Mohamad Aliv, Abadan, Iran, junior, said the revolutionary government in Iran had failed to achieve the goal.
"I supported Khomeini before the revolution but not after it," he said. "I didn't like the shah, and Khomeini was the leader against him, so I supported him."
"但after he gained power, he didn't do anything for the people. I thought he would bring autonomy for different peoples, like the Kurdish and the Turkish and the Arabs. But he hasn't let them be autonomous. He believes everyone should be his kind of Moslem."
Alvi said he would not fight under Khornein's government even if he was asked. Instead, he said the group had been indicted for the crime.
"I believe they would give the people autonomy and freedom of speech and let them speak," she said.
IF HE COULD BE able the opposition groups were sincere in wanting to provide freedom for them and to protect themselves.
An Iranian pre-med student, who asked not to be identified, said he was a member of the Bahai religion, which did not permit him to hold any political views.
Member of the Bahal faith, the largest imminent danger has been persecuted by the Islamic majority for years.
Bahais' basic philosophy, however, is still. We do not support the government, but we do observe it.
He said that if his name was revealed, someone might misinterpret his comments and think that some Bahais favor the overthrow of the Khomeini government.
All the students interviewed said their educations were being financed at least partially by their parents. Transferring funds between Iran and the United States has been difficult since the revolution, but it has become even harder during the conflict, they said.
The student said he would not be allowed to join the Iranian army because of his religion. But even if he could join the army, he said he would not.
"My education is more important, and one person going back wouldn't do much," he said.
Under a new set of regulations, the Iranian Ministry of Education keeps a detailed file on all teachers who have been in contact.
CERTAIN CONDITIONS must be met before
Iranian students are allowed to remain in the United States, he said.
"You must be a full-time student, and you must have a major that is considered good for the country," he said. "You have one year to change your major if it is not acceptable."
The students said that they were concerned about their families in Iran but that they had little communication with their hometowns.
In the past, Iranian students could receive a maximum of $1,000 a month from Nesayeh. Kazakhstan has no such limit.
Engineering and medicine majors are usually most highly prized, and those in the arts are unacceptable, Afshar said.
"I really don't know how it's affecting my life," Taghizahad said of the fighting. "Apparently, they are OK, but they don't answer all to me what to do." They make me feel good so I won't worry as much.
MANY IRANIANS are losing their jobs
collinaries or oil refineries are being destroyed,
Afshar arab.
His family now has two motorcycles instead of cars, he said.
Tahagizadeh said that Tehran had been suffering from a gasoline shortage since the outbreak of the war, and that many residents had been buying bicycles.
Many Iranian students said they hoped to live and work in the United States when they finished their studies.
"After the refiners are gone, there's nothing
that's important. I go back, I'll just join all the
unemployed."
"I didn't come here to stay," said Tofidi, who plans to go back regardless of the outcome of the case.
"My died had a farm there. I may go back and
have a farm there." I also, else, I would have to wait and see after graduation.
"People are curious," Afshar said. "They may be about it, but we really really con- centrate on them, and they are my good friend."
Reza-yazi said, "Americans don't care that much about the war. They think, Oh, they're going to die."
