Kurdish rebels seize Iraqi camp while citizens face starvation
The Associated Press
ZAKHO, Iraq — Kurdish rebels yesterday claimed they had seized a government-held air base and camp in northern Iraq but said there were signs Saddam Hussein's forces were preparing for an assault on a key rebel-built city.
A statement from the Kurdistan Democratic Party said the Iraqi army was massing forces in Saddam's hometown of Tkrit to attack on the northern oil city of Kirkuk which is hostile to the government.
The statement, sent to The Associated Press in Nycus, Cyprus, by telex, could not be credited.
Saddam has been struggling to quell rebellions in the north and south that flared after his defeat by the allies in the Persian Gulf War. The fighting halted with a cease-fire a month ago.
President Bush said yesterday that it was unlikely that Saddam would remain in power for long because the Iraqi people were fed up with him.
"There's enough dissent and disorder, but it appears the Iraqi citizens are trying to do something about this," he told reporters in Bethesda, Md.
Kurdish leaders reported gains in northern Iraq — but also heavy casualties. They said guerrillas overran an Iraqi air base near Kirkuk on Tuesday and captured two Soviet-
made warplanes, a MIG-21 fighter and a Soviet-made Sukhoi bomber.
The rebels also said they seized a government camp at Faardtaa, on the road from Dhahran.
They said the two installations were among the last that government forces controlled in the city.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party said in a statement issued in London that the attack on the Khalid military air base was launched to stop the bombing of rebel held areas.
The statement said that more than 1,000 people were killed in the past week in air attacks on the northern cities of Kirkuk, Kefri, Dohuk, Kalar and Tuz Khormatu.
The Kurds said they feared a new threat starvation. The only supply route open is into the village.
In southern Iraq, where Saddam's forces largely have succeeded in putting down rebellions by Shite Muslims, hunger was causing desperation among thousands of refugees fleeing into allied-controlled areas.

"We tried to be organized, but the people are just too hungry," said MaJ. Youssef Ali Abourat of the Saudi military "They see the food, and they go crazy."

rioting.
The permanent members of the Security Council - the United States, Britain, France, China and the Soviet Union - meet in private to refine their checklist of conditions the Baghdad government must meet before a permanent cease-fire is approved.

Watkins plan
Center gives students career advice
By Gordon Gilges
Special to the Kansan
Even the calmest people have felt a wave of panic wash over them. It was suddenly time for them to decide what they wanted to do with their life. It's a decision that no one can make for anyone else. But, if they needed some help, they could have gone to the University of Kansas Counseling Center to help tell you what to do, but they are hopeful that they can help you decide for yourself. That's what they are there for — to help.
From the moment I first approached the receptionist in the Counseling Center, I could tell that this staff took its job of help with very very very seriously. They were also very friendly.
My main contact was with Carrie Winterton a junior staff counselor who was in charge of the project.
She had a few minutes and I was able to ask her a few questions about te Counseling Center, the counseling process and the people who use it.
Q: If you had an auditorium full of students with questions in some kind of career counseling seminar, what would be the first thing you would tell them?
A: "Basically, we just try to encourage them to make their own decisions, so if they were going to come into the Counseling Center for services, we would have them probably take some interest inventories to understand how their interests compare with the interests of the people who are acting in those fields. We would assess their fields. We would assess their values, what activities they are interested in and we try to put together a picture of that person."
what they should do. We just help them to come to their own conclusions. What I would recommend to students that are undecided about a college major is to start trying to collect information about themselves."
"Ultimately, we don't ever tell students
Q: Do you have many people that come in and don't really seem to have a solid grasp of it?
A: "Yes. I think if a person comes in to see a career counselor we try to find out their functional skills — like if you've taken Career and Life Planning. But one-to-one counseling is a more personal experience than taking classes or doing a workshop. We offer individual counseling and sometimes we've had career groups. Sometimes we offer seminars and talks on career decisions."
Q: So you don't really stress graduating in your years? I know that's a goal for a lot of people.
A: "It is a goal for a lot of people, but we've had some people come in for career counseling who are starting up their junior or senior year and are just realizing that maybe this isn't the field that they want to go into. If they are undecided and they're not sure what they want to do, it may take them five or six years, but that's OK. We try to tell them that it is OK and a career plan will be made. You'll your field for five, 10 years and realize that maybe you want to go back for an MBA or something like that and go into a different field or maybe work up in your field. So I try to help my clients realize that they have many options open to them and what they need to do is assess what their skills are, what they value and what they would like to be doing in their work.
"I think people have stereotypes about certain occupations and once you go out and talk to the people in the fields, you get a clear picture of what the average salary is like, what the working conditions are like, how much school you have to go through to get where you want to go. It's just good to know that you're not going to go into that field because that informational interview may end up being a good connection for a job later on.
Q: What do you say to someone who is really stressed out about these types of
A: "Sometimes when you're struggling with your future and thinking about 'What do I want to major in,' it can interfere with other aspects of your life. Sometimes when people are undecided career-wise, they are undecided in other aspects of life. Sometimes when people are having career indecisiveness they also may have personal issues that they want to focus in on too. I think it's important for students to balance out their student role, their social role and the other roles in their life."
Q: How involved do you think students are with any or all of the counseling services?
A: "It depends. I don't know about any other counseling services, but when people come in for career counseling, they come in for one session.
"I think career exploration is a very personal experience. I don't think you can provide advice to someone as to what they should do with their life. So I don't think we ever tell people 'Go into this field because it's right for you.' We encourage them to come to their own conclusions based on information they've collected,
