.The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 5, 1987- Page 5 Goodman addresses women's progress (Contnuedfrom Page 1) possible," said Goodman, who writes a column called "At Large" for the Boston Globe. Goodman said that although women have made achievements in the work world, they still earn only 70 cents per dollar earned by their male counterparts. She said women have had more success in adapting to male values - achieving power, success, being competitive - than men have had in adapting female values. However, she said women must deal with a "double burden" because they still are expected to provide family nurturing and do most of the housework. Peace Corps offers new internship program By HEATHER EURICH Riding in a horse drawn carriage to her job as an English teacher was one of University Peace Corps Co- ordinator Louise Baldwin's most memorable experiences. Baldwin, who volunteered in Afghanistan from 1973 to 1977, re- members her work fondly. "I made some very good friends there," she said. This year, Baldwin is coordinat- ing a new program designed to give undergraduates the same kind of fond Peace Corps memories. The University Peace Corps of- fice will nominate two students to work as interns in capital city Peace Corps offices around the world. They are looking for people who can speak Spanish or French and are fa- miliar enough with word processing to perform management tasks, work with computers, and do research for regular Peace Corps volunteers. This is the Peace Corps intern-. ship program's first year. Unlike the regular field assign- ments which usually last two to four years, internships only last 10 to15 weeks. The interns are also respon- sible for paying all expenses - about $2000 - except their lodging and training. Baldwin said the main purpose of the program is to educate the interns. She said the program is similar to the Public Service Internship Pro- gram in Washington D.C. which is run by the Career Planning and Placement office. Dartmouth College in New Hampshire developed the pilot progam for internships when it sent eight students abroad last year. Since then, 120 college presidents have agreed to participate in Campus Compact, the organization sponsor- ing the program. The goal is to provide public ser- vice opportunities to students who will return to college and relate their experiences to other students. In this way, students can learn about other cultures. Baldwin will screen the applica- tions, which are due Friday, and then she and Jane Dickson from the International Center will interview students. They will send in the names of their two nominees, who will compete with almost 240 nom- inees nationwide for about 20 posi- tions. Baldwin expects most of the ap- plicants to be LSA students. The short time committment - one semester - attracts many, she said. Financial assistance is available for those who need it to participate. Read and Use Daily Classifieds Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Ellen Goodman, who writes for the Boston Globe, discusses women's and men's changing roles in society at a lecture last night at Rackham Auditorium. Goodman's column, called "At Large", is syndicated to 325 newspapers. John Irving reads . from latest novel (Continued from Page 1) "Does the person who makes the cardboard box know what it's used for?" Irving drew loud laughter from the crowd when his usually soft- spoken voice took on a new tenor as he read dialogue in the broken falsetto of Owen. Irving's characteristic irony came across particularly sharply in one scene. Owen delivers the body of a dead soldier to the deceased's family. Describing the younger brother's apparel, Irving wrote, "What I thought were carpenter's pants stained with oiled were actually jun- gle fatigues like the recruits re- In 1985, a controversia novel portrayed the wild, excessive lives of the kids i n Beverly Hills. ceive... and he wore a cartridge belt with loaded shells." Irving's trademark style also came across in sexual references from Owen's comment, "I like your sheath," to Owen's lonely girlfriend who thinks that the Fourth of July fireworks "look like sperm." Irving's freak occurrences were there, too - Owen killed his best friend's mother with a line-drive foul ball at a Little League baseball game. Irving disappointed some of the crowd by leaving the ending unre- solved, but from the rest of the reac- tion last night, Irving's novel could be his biggest success yet. On Friday, November 6th, brace yourself for the motion picture. ANDREW McCARTHY JAMI GERIE ROBERT DOWNER JR. Bill to deputize campus cops faces end in House (Continued from Page 1) "not committed either way on the bill." He said his committee will discuss the bill and make a decision either to kill it or pass it on to the entire House sometime in the next month. "We're going to have some dia- logue and find out what people think about (the bill)," Leland said. Other members of the College and Universities Committee could not be reached for a comment. MSA President Ken Weine and member. of the Student Rights Committee are scheduled to meet with Leland today to discuss the bill. Senate bill 339 would grant the University's Board of Regents the power to decide if public safety offi- cers can carry guns on campus and make arrests.
