By Kristi Fogler
Kansan staff writer
To increase the student participation in the game, the Athletic Department announced yesterday it would allow students with a valid KUID into Thursday night's game for free.
Bernie Kish, director of ticket operations and sales, estimated that as of last week, 20,000 tickets had been sold for the California game. But Kish estimated 40,000 people, including KU students, would show up for the game. Memorial Stadium seats more than 50,000.
Students who want to attend the game but do not have tickets can enter the stadium after 6 p.m. through Gate 35. Seating will be open for those students.

How to find the right career is a question many freshman and sophomore students need to answer. The College of Liberal Arts and Science at the University of Kansas reports that 1,875 freshmen and 622 sophorores were undecided majors during the Spring 1992 semester.
Indecisiveness about your major is not
Rod Bowens, a freshman, said he expected to find some answers at the Business Career Fair on Tuesday at the Lawrence Holidome. "I think it will help me learn about available opportunities and how I can prepare for them," Bowens said. "I'm especially looking for information about internships."
uncommon. Alison Thien, a junior in education said, "I thought almost daily for nearly two years about my major before deciding upon education."
Barbara Dean, representing Mercantile Bank of Kansas City said, "It is especially important for freshmen and sophomores to attend because it helps them explore many areas of the job market."
Fred Madaus, director of the School of Business' placement center and organizer of the fair, said, "The Business Career Fair provides an opportunity to talk to representatives from several companies. It should guide you to produce a list of companies for targeting in the future."
The fair may also help you decide where your personality traits fit best. Michael Johnson, an operational manager for Dun and Bradstreet Inc., said that the fair not only could expand your knowledge of the job market but that it also could show you what
qualities employers expect in new employes.
"You must know yourself and fit your career to your personality," Johnson said. "Strong self-motivation and good communication skills are characteristics most employers look for when hiring. The people who get excited about career opportunities early are the ones who get hired first."
Sheryl Moseback of Spring Publishing and Advertising stresses the importance of internships.
"Internships help you to gain knowledge of your profession," she said. "Because internships indicate your initiative to college recruiters, this increases your chances of being hired."
Students get ahead with computer resumé
When students know what to include, software can have documents looking error free
By Liz Schrag Special to the Kansan
When you are working on your resume, it helps to know an expert. For Amy Tieperman, Arkansas City senior, that expert was a software package.
"Before I used Resume* Expert," said Tieperman, "I had no idea what a good resume looked like. Now I have one that I hope will lead me to a great job."
200 or more resumes daily, each may receive less than one minute's attention. During that sixty seconds, your resume can stand out in two ways, positively or negatively. I once received a resume that had been handwritten and torn out of a spiral notebook."
Fred Madaua, director of the KU Business Placement Center, said necessary information includes personal data, job objectives, educational background and experience. "Include the information which you are comfortable in sharing," he advised. "Include a high school accomplishment only if it is outstanding. Similarly, do not provide a photograph or information such as your height, weight and social security number."
graduate assistant at KU Business Placement Center. "Certainly employers want to see correct spellings, readable type, complete sentences and all of the information they need in order to judge a candidate's qualifications."
What makes a good resumé good?
To help avoid some students avoid handwritten resumes, the center offers the Resumé Expert software program, which provides six different resume formats. It can be purchased for $50 at the Business Placement Center in Summerfield Hall.

"There are no absolute wrongs or rights," said John Morris,
Maddus adds that the final resume should look as important as its content.
"Before I used the Resumé Expert program, I had no idea what a resumé even looked like," said Beth Peterson, a KU graduate. "With its help, I now have a great job!"
"Your goal should be to have a resume that looks professional," he said. "Because an employer may typically review
