It now has more than 13,000 members nationally, 70 percent of them students. The Michigan chapter has 253 members. About 15 percent of the members are male. "We've had many more men join, especially this year Theresa Bonner, a senior in mechanical engineering, said. Men were originally in an auxiliary group and were allowed to become full members in 1976. None of the women interviewed said they felt discriminated against because of their gender. Marchiano said professors have always encouraged her when she has come for help with comments like "good work." "I think people make a big issue over it. I wouldn't want to be hired over someone just because I'm a woman," Bonner said. Facktor said SWE is primarily known for the services it provides. It sponsors a "pre-interview" evening where company represen - tatives and prospective interviewees can mingle in an informal setting. SWE co-sponsors an annual career fair with Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honor society. THE society also compiles a resume book every year. Students give copies of their resumes to SWE, which compiles them in a book and gives them to prospective employers. Bonner said she got an interview from a company which saw her resume in the book. SWE runs an outreach program, where members go to high schools and talk about engineering. Many HENRY RUSSEL LECTURE FOR 1986-87 Philip E. Converse Robert Cooley Angell Distinguished University Professor of Sociology and Political Science "PERSPECTIVES ON THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS" TUESDAY, March 17, 1987 RACKHAM AMPHITHEATRE high school students think engineering is only "building bridges," Marchiano said. Part of the outreach program is a week-long introduction for women who have already been accepted to the University and want to know more about the College of Engineering. Marchiano said SWE accepts 60 women for the summer program. She said the society has received an "overwhelming" number of applications. Bonner said she was "sold" on mechanical engineering after partici - pating in a summer outreach program at Michigan Technical University similar to the one SWE now sponsors here. She joined SWE at the urging of male friends and was impressed by the respect it receives. "Aerospace has such a tremen - dous potential for growth. There's so much yet to be discovered," Facktor said. She said she didn't join SWE with the intention of becoming its president, but she was attracted to it because of its accomplishments. She said one company offered her an interview because of her position. M ozamb ique a was ranks first in suffering WASHINGTON (AP) - Moz- ambique is the scene of more hu- man suffering than any other na- tion, while Switzerland is the most comfortable place to live, according to an analysis by a Washington population group. The analysis, called the Inter- national Index of Human Suffering, was released yesterday by the Pop- ulation Crises Committee. Using data from a variety of sources, the committee developed a numerical scale of human misery with more than 100 nations rated between zero and 100. "Our basic message is to get a snapshot of the world and how we're doing,'and for much of the world we're not doing very well," "said Dr. Joseph Speidel, vice pres- ident of the Population Crisis Committee. Mozambique, a former Portu- guese colony on Africa's southeast- er coast, was rated at 95 on the scale, the most suffering recorded. At the other end of the scale, Switzerland was given a misery ra- ting of only four. Soviet freighter sinks off N.J. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A listing Soviet freighter apparently sank yesterday, leaving behind only an oil slick and some floating sacks of flour while its 37 crew members got a taste of American hospitality ashore after a dramatic helicopter rescue. The Komsomolets Kirgizii, which was carrying flour from Can- ada to Cuba, began listing in rough seas Saturday and was last detected before dawn yesterday by a Coast Guard cutter's radar, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Michael Schultz. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Bomb derails train in India MADRAS, India - Saboteurs blew up a railway bridge yesterday in southern India, derailing an express train and killing at least 22 people, police Said. Police reported 150 people injured, according to the United News of India news agency. Investigators said leaflets left at the scene pointed to Tamil extremists as the bombers, angry that India was not lending enough support in the fight by Tamil separatists in Sri Lanka for a homeland in that nearby island nation. The bomb blasted the Rockfort Express locomotive off the track and sent the engine and eight cars, most of them carrying passengers; crashing into the dry riverbed below. Police said three coaches were left dangling from the bridge, about a third of which collapsed. About 1O feet of track were destroyed, police said. UAW strike may target Ford DETROIT - The United Auto Worker's strike target in this year' contract negotiations is swinging between Ford Motor Co. and GenerMa Motors Corp., with local union leaders favoring Ford in a report pu- lished yesterday. But agreement on a new contract with Ford might not help its larget rival GM avert a strike, the UAW officials told the Detroit Free Pres in yesterday's editions. Ford's earnings in 1987 exceed those of GM by $350 million - th first time Ford made more money then the industry leader since 1924 The union's contracts with both automakers expire Sept. 14. Ford's robust financial health, coupled with the UAW's belief thizdi Ford can better guarantee job security, has some union officials eager o agree with the No. 2 automaker on contract terms the UAW then woul demand of GM. Hungarians decry enslavement BUDAPEST, Hungary - Thousands of Hungarians marched arm-if- arm through Budapest Sunday, singing, chanting and applauding call by a dissident for democracy, freedom of assembly and freedom of th' press. "We will not be enslaved any longer!" the crowd chanted, quoting poem by Hungarian poet Sandor Petofi. The loudest cheers came when dissident Gyoergy Gado evoked tlfh memory of Imre Nagy, the former prime minister who was executd after Russian tanks crushed the 1956 anti-Soviet revolution in Hungary. Police photographed and filmed demonstrators, but did not directly interfere with marchers on a national day commemorating the abortiv 1848 revolution against Austrian rule. Last year, police wielding truncheons broke up a similar unaut- orized demonstration. Congress considers immunity WASHINGTON - Congress is considering granting immunity to key figures in the Iran arms affair before its investigators have interviewed all the staff members who worked directly for formr National Security Adviser John Poindexter. "All I can say is that's it not the classic way to go about it," said James Neal, who was associate special prosecutor in the Watergate case. A source close to the Senate investigation, speaking on condition he not be identified, insisted everyone relevant to the investigation would be questioned. He said the panel might vote soon to give Poindexter immunity as a "recognition of the inevitability" of providing that immunity, but said Poindexter might not testify for two months or more after that.:7 ' ur.:tx: EXTRAS It's not easy being green Twenty tons of love-struck toads are run down every year in Hambleden, England as they migrate across busy roads in search of the perfect mate. But the British have been up in arms - and buckets - to protect the tiny Casanovas. For the past three years the toad patrol his carried bemused amphibians across a highway the toads must cross to get to the lake where they breed. The Fauna and Flora Society of Britain has done the bucket brigad one better. On Friday they cut a ribbon that opened a 10-inch high, 40- foot long toad tunnel that runs under the lethal Henley road, 35 miles west of London. The tunnel is placed along their migratory route, with a foot high fence of clear plastic along the roadway to guide the toads to. the tunnel. When the warty toads - Bufo bufo bufo in Latin - emerge from hibernation later in the month, the society hopes more than 200 toads an hour will use the thoroughfare, along with badgers, hedgehogs, and other low-slung creatures. The Society hopes that the $4,000 tunnel of: love will encourage other towns to build their own toad holes. - Rebecca Cox with wire reports If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
