New program offers students internships in London, Dublin
As summer approaches, hundreds of University of Kansas students will begin searching for internships.
For the first time, students will have the opportunity to work abroad in either London or Dublin for credit as part of a new internship program run by the KU Office of Study Abroad.
The program is called Interships Abroad. It is a collaboration between KU and European Study Abroad, or EUSA, a non-profit organization
run by Boston University.
The seven-week program allows students to earn academic credit and to gain professional experience in fields such as art, business, communication, politics and health care. The Office of Study Abroad provides accommodations in student housing.
"Once they've been accepted; EUSA guarantees an internship. If a student is asking for a specific request, we'll go out and find it," said Samantha Cooper, EUSA director of university relations.
Applications are due Feb. 15. In
addition to an application, interest- ed students must submit a resume, a statement of purpose, a photograph and an ARTS form or transcript. An academic reference is also required. Students should submit materials to the Office of Study Abroad.
EUSA representatives will be on campus in March to hold interviews and begin placing accepted students in internships. A phone interview with prospective employers might also be required.
"its such an individualized process between the student and the internship sponsor abroad." Cooper
The organization currently finds internships overseas for students from 46 U.S. universities.

Chavez takes control of oil
- Edited by Trevan McGee
Socialist revolution takes off with Presidential decrees
BY IAN JAMES ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — The Venezuelan government will take majority control of oil projects in the Orinoco River basin by May 1 and any foreign oil company that resists can leave, President Hugo Chavez said Thursday as he elaborated on his sweeping nationalization plans.
Chavez told a news conference that his government is "not posting any conflict" to oil companies British Petroleum PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., Total SA and Statio ASA that are upgrading heavy oil in the Orinoco.
Chaver, who, a day earlier was given power by congress to issue laws by decree in energy and other areas, said he was ready to sign a decree for the nationalization of the four Orinoco projects by May 1. He said that state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, would take a stake of "no less than 60 percent."
He also said that 3,000 Venezuelan employees in the Sincor project — jointly owned by France's Total, Norway's Statoil and PDVSA — would become PDVSA employees.
When private companies producing oil elsewhere in the country submitted to state-controlled
joint ventures last year, few resisted because they were reluctant to abandon Venezuela, which has the largest oil deposits outside of the Middle East.

Chavez tried to quell those fears Thursday.
"I ask you to see the truth. Don't let yourselves be terrorized. Be free," he said, accusing some media outlets and governments of trying to demonize his efforts. "Evaluate with objectivity and you'll see that there

increasing intervention in the economy has rattled more risk-averse sectors and chilled investment among those who fear a radical turn to his so-called socialist revolution. Critics say that as he begins a fresh six-year term, Chavez is taking steps reminiscent of how Fidel Castro monopolized leader

is no reason on the horizon to feel any kind of fear."
"We are not going to copy the Soviet model nor the current model of socialism in Europe nor the Cuban model.
We are going to create our own model." Chavez said.
Chavez has said he will use his special decree powers, which will be in force for 18 months, to also nationalize the country's biggest telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors.
》 GAMBLING
Caesars Palace sets record straight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — In an attempt to set the record straight about one of its best customers, Caesars Palace took the unusual step Thursday of disclosing the casino losses of Celine Dion's husband and manager, Rene Angelil.
It did so because of a report in London's Observer that quoted a senior official of Caesars' corporate parent as saying that Angell giggled as much as $1 million a week. Jan Jones, senior vice president of communications and government relations for Caesars owner, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., later said she was speaking hypothetically and that she did not know how much he gambled. She also apologized for referring to him by name.
Caesars said Thursday that Angell's casino losses in 2005 and 2006 totaled exactly $230,300, but were offset by his tournament poker winnings of $259,079. The casino said it released the totals with his permission.
"In life and in business, Rene is a winner, and one of the finest people I have ever known," Caesars president Gary Selesman said in a statement.
