Job workshop planned to help foreign students
Foreign students will have the chance to enhance their job-hunting skills with a workshop sponsored by the Office of Foreign Student Services this weekend.
The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to noon tomorrow in 110 Strong Hall.
Diann Stewart, assistant director of Foreign Student Services, said yesterday that the purpose of the workshop was to give foreign students information on how to find a job and addresses of prospective employers.
There will be sessions on resume writing, cover letter writing and interview preparation, Stewart said. There also will be information from companies about job opportunities in the United States and abroad.
This is the first time the office has sponsored such a workshop. If it is successful, she said, Foreign Student must complete one a year, or possibly one a semester.
Superdance kicks off today
So far, 42 students have signed up for the workshop.
The KU Superdance for Muscular
Distrophy will start at 5 p.m. today
and run until 5 p.m. tomorrow at the
National Guard Armory, 200 Iowa
Notices were sent to juniors, seniors and graduate students, Stewart said, but foreign students of all levels are welcome.
Sponsored participants will wince a 24-hour marathon for prizes, including a weekend trip to Houston, for the top money collector. The money the dancers collect will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Beer, pop and special activities for the audience have been scheduled throughout the Superdance.
The Superdance is sponsored by Panhellenic, the Interfraternity Council, the Association of
University Residence Halls and the All Scholarship hall Council.
Jeannie Seitz, Superdance chairman and Topeka junior, said local businesses had been crucial to the planning of Superdance.
Many downtown stores donated gift certificates for prizes for the dancers and audience and others donated food for the dancers. All the pop and beer were donated by the Adolph Coors Co. and Seven Up.
Headmasters Inc., 1602 Massachusetts St., will be cutting hair for $1,895 to 3 to 5 pm. tomorrow for $10, and 66 of that will go to the Superdance.

Birkenstock
Feet in the sand make footprints. Feet in Birkenstock footwear do the very same thing.
The Birkenstock footbed is heat and pressure sensitive to mold to your foot, and become your footprint.
So walking in Birkenstock is a lot like walking barefoot in the sand,with one very convenient difference.
You can walk in Birkenstock all year long.
