4 Page 2 -The Michigan Daily-Monday, November 16, 1987 Jobs await minority engineers IN BRIEF (Continued from Page 1) America leads the world going into the 21st century." Provost and Vice President for Academic Af- fairs James Duderstadt cited a National Science Foundation prediction that 700,000 to 800,000 jobs in science and engineering will go unfilled by the turn of the century - a time when the country's population, he said, is predicted to be one-third Black and Hispanic. DUDERST ADT stressed the need to encourage minorities to move into science and engineering professions. He said science and en- gineering graduate degrees lead to management roles, not just jobs in research and development. Erdogan Gulari, associate dean of the College of Engineering and a conference organizer, en- couraged students further, telling them the aver- age lifetime salary for an engineer with a doctor- /" " 1 ! I. l " i T ate is 50 percent higher than for one with only a bachelor's degree. Mary Jarrett, director of financial aid in the graduate school, headed a workshop on financial aid, outlining loans, work/study programs, and fellowships-free funding with no repayment plan. "RESOURCES are available if you just look for them. Don't think of financial aid as an obstacle to your graduate education, you'll get something," said Hector Richard, a Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology masters stu- dent and University aerospace engineering gradu- ate. Organizers of the regional conference, spon- sored by Rackham Graduate School and the Na- tional Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Mi- norities in Engineering, hoped to draw students and faculty from Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsir but almost all of the 60 faculty, students, and administrators present were from the University. Since they fell short of their goal, Gulari said the University might organize transportation for students from other schools in the future. "I HAD other things to do today," said Vin- cent Lane, a senior in physics at the University's Flint campus who attended the conference held at the Chrysler Center, "but I gave them up because I really wanted to find out about graduate school." "My biggest fear was finding funds but after today I feel its conquerable," Lane said. Following a workshop on applying to gradu- ate school, Alicia Jay, an engineering senior, said of the application process, "I didn't know how long it took. I'm starting earlier than I would have." Tornadoes kill three in Texas CALDWELL, Texas (AP) - Tornadoes swept through east-central Texas yesterday, killing three people, injuring at least 15 and damaging mobile homes, barns, and power lines, authorities said. Two people were killed in Cald- well when a twister cut a 16-mile path of destruction through the city, officials said. Second Holocaust not impossible, Rep. says (Continued from Page 1) Franklin Roosevelt's War Refugee board. Roosevelt wanted to save the few remaining Jews left in Europe and called on Wallenberg to lead the effort. Wallenberg took down the names of Jews and ordered Swedish passports made for them. Because Sweden was a neutral country, the Jews were able to escape to that country throughout the war. Wallenberg was taken by the Soviets in 1945. His whereabouts have been unknown since that day, and the Soviet Union has changed its account several times. The Soviets say Wallenberg died in prison of a heart attack in 1947, and have maintained that story since. However, the October '87 issue of Moment magazine reports that the Swedish Wallenberg Association has reported seeing Wallenberg as recently as a year ago. Lantos concluded the evening by saying, "It is easy to get excited about the persecution of our own people. Raoul Wallenberg taught us that we must speak out. If necessary we must put our life on the line for people you have nothing in common with except for humanity."

The crash, the second-worst in the nation's history, killed 156 peo- ple. Regulations require that a variety of settings, including the flaps, be checked by one of the two crew members and confirmed by the other prior to takeoff. Investigators have said the plane's flaps were not extended in takeoff position. According to a National Transportation Safety Board transcript of the cockpit voice recorder, neither pilot John Maus nor co-pilot David Dodds talked about the flaps setting during a pre-flight checklist. Poll shows Simon leads field DES MOINES, Iowa - Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) has moved to the top of the Democratic presidential field in Iowa, while Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) holds a narrow lead over Vice President George Bush in the GOP race, a poll published yesterday indicated. The poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register, said Dole was fa- vored by 36 percent of those likely to attend the Republican precinct cau- cuses in February, compared to 30 percent for Bush. The rest of GOP field trailed far behind. Among Democrats, Simon got the backing of 24 percent of those who said they'll attend Democratic caucuses, with Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in second at 18 percent. Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.) who led in the last poll published in August, was third with 14 percent. Ortega briefs Mexican leader on Central American treaty MEXICO CITY - Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega made a surprise stop in Mexico City on his way home from the United States Saturday and said he would brief President Miguel de la Madrid on a new Nicaraguan proposal for a truce in the Contra war. "Now is a good time to exchange views with President Miguel de la Madrid, so he knows directly the steps my country is taking to comply" with a Central American peace plan, Ortega told reporters when he arrived at the Mexico City airport Saturday. Nicaraguan and Mexican officials declined to say what Ortega was doing yesterday. Kemp predicts own '88 success U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp (R-New York) defended his alliance with Pat Robertson in the battle for Michigan Republican presidential delegates, but said Saturday that he had a better chance of winning the 1988 GOP nomination that either Robertson or Vice President George Bush. Kemp predicted that he.would finish second to Robertson and ahead of Bush in Michigan's complicated GOP presidential delegate selection process. "I'm the most likely candidate who could speak to the working man and woman on those issues important to them: their pocketbooks, jobs, families, pensions, Social Security," said Kemp, who campaigned Satur- day in Flint and Bloomfield Hills. Most polls of precinct delegates show Kemp trailing both Robertson and Bush. EXTRAS Lottery winners swap ideas GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Bound by a common trait of incredible luck, more than 100 millionaires swapped stories of the good life during a gathering of winners of Michigan lottery jackpots. The gathering included two former roommates who won separate lottery jackpots while living in the same Muskegon home. John Upchurch and David Kuh arrived in a chauffeured limousine Fri- day at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel for Saturday's gathering of jackpot winners celebrating the 15th anniversary of the lottery. Kuh won $1.4 million in August 1985, which translates into 20 annual after-tax payments of $55,100. About a year later, Upchurch be- came a $2 million winner, which means he receives $80,000 a year after taxes for 20 years. "It's a real strange coincidene," Upchurch said.

(Continued from Page1'W The ideological debate between focusing the assembly's attention on campus as opposed to non-campus issues has split many of the other parties. THE PARTY believes students want to be involved in student government and want to be heard, but the assembly is not reaching out to them. "MSA can't exist in a vacuum," Case said. To increase the assembly's awareness of what the students want, he proposes conducting bi-monthly opinion polls, and increased contact between the assembly and the individual college governments such as the Engineering Council and the LSA Student Government. "MSA has treated other organizations at best arrogantly and at worst has cut them off completely," Case said. LSA candidate Laurel Goulding said that by increasing contact with the college governments the assembly will be brought down to a level more accessible to students. "WE WANT to bring MSA back to the students where it belongs," Case added. One of the primary planks in the party's platform is increased contact with the College of Engineering. "We'resalready out on North Campus as it is," said Change Engineering candidate Aaron Williams. But, he said, "their views need to be heard just as well as anybody else's." A "road rally" by three engineering societies last spring, during which parts of the shanty on the Diag were stolen, prompted the assembly to refuse the three groups their student organization status. By increasing the assembly's responsiveness to students' opinions would also lead to increased respect of the assembly by the administration, they said. "(The administration) sees MSA as a bunch of people... who have no contact with the outside world at all," Case said. "To any observer, especially the administration, (MSA) is not a representative organization." The Change party would like to see the creation of an orientation workshop on the problems of racism, sexism, and classism, but they are opposed to the creation of a mandatory class to be taken during the year. rthree-year and two-year scholarshais on' makecolleg easier just easier to pay for. ; Even if you didn't start college on a scholarship, you could finish on one.
