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-held city.
A statement from the Kurdistan Democratic Party said the Iraqi army was massing forces in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit to launch an attack on the northern oil city of Erbil.
The statement, sent to The Associated Press in Nicosia, Cyprus, by telex, could not be confirmed independently.
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.
They said the two installations were amorous, that they government forces controlled in northern Norway.
The rebels also said they seized a government camp at Faardyia, on the road from Marrakech.

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 Kirku, Kefri, Dohuk, Kalar and Tuz Khormatu.
In southern Iraq, where Saddam's forces largely have succeeded in putting down rebellions by Shite Muslims, hunger was a major factor. The war against refugees fleeing into allied controlled areas
The Kurds said they feared a new threat *starvation*. The only supply route now open is on the southern side of the city.
In the Iraq border town of Safwan, food rucks broke up yesterday as Saudi Arabian food workers returned.
"We tried to be organized, but the people are just too hungry," said Maju Joussef Al Abourt of the Saudi military "They see the food, and they go crazy."
No serious injuries were reported in the
At the United Nations, a new Security Council resolution would hold Iraq liable for the environmental havoc caused by tactics such as dumping millions of gallons of oil in the Persian Gulf and setting Kuwait's oil wells alight.
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.

Mock interviews helpful in preparation
Bv Carev Pratt
Special to the Kansan
The University Placement Center in Burge Union offers various services that assist students in their preparations for obtaining a job. I took advantage of the mock interview, an experience which I found to be very helpful. My session is conducted as a real interview, but in the mock interview you have the benefit of being video taped.
I had never realized that the opportunity of a mock interview existed. The idea of viewing myself on video tape while receiving constructive criticism or valuable suggestions was an interesting concept and I thought that it would be very helpful to me. I knew that if I were to have any characteristics that should be avoided, this was the time when I would find out. I was absolutely right.
The mock interview was easily arranged. I stopped by the Placement Center, 110
Burge, and very simply signed up for an appointment. This same procedure could also be accompanied with a telephone call. The appointment was scheduled for a week later. I advise that you expect and plan for a similar time frame.
I was told to wear clothes that I would wear in a professional interview. In other words, wear a suit. The idea is to view a video tape where you are dressed and acting as if in a real interview situation. The objective is to become comfortable in that dress and to become aware of any negative habits you might have, such as jiggling the change in your pocket or bouncing your crossed leg.
I advise that you feel comfortable in what you wear and how you look. This is not the time to make changes to your appearance.
For instance, don't part your hair differently if at the interview you are unsure of how it looks. All throughout the interview you will pat your head self-consciously to make
sure your hair is OK. This action will be distracting and the interviewer will only remember you as the person who kept playing with his or her hair.
In my personal experience, I learned never to wear lipstick. I'm not comfortable wearing lipstick, and during the interview, I had become very paranoid about having it on my teeth. I was so nervous about this that throughout the interview, I kept running my tongue across my teeth. After viewing the video tape, I realized that this action itself was more distracting that anything else that could have happened. I'm glad I found this out in the mock interview.
The mock interview has since had a great effect on what I have worn and how I have acted in interviews that have really been important to me. Being comfortable with different types of clothing is more confident. Test your comfortability level with a mock interview; you won't
regret it.
In addition to learning about my idiosyncracies that the video tape had shown to me, the interviewer conducting the mock interview made very helpful suggestions about questions she had asked me during the session. Her questions consisted of those that were commonly asked by many professional interviewers. Not only was her ad-hoc approach well suited with them to answer a question, but the interview with her prepared me to have a response to those common or sometimes awkward questions.
Prepare for such questions as: What would you like to tell me about yourself? What are your long-range and short-range goals? or, what Do you consider to be your greatest strengths and weaknesses? Do you want the opportunity to help the interview Center will help you develop positive answers to these and many other interview questions.
Strong interview skills impress most hiring employers

A good job interview is often the key to getting a job. Knowing how the interviewer weighs such aspects as grade point average, extra-curricular activities and character traits can help you have a successful job interview.

Although each interviewer may not look for the same qualities in an interview candidate, some professionals offered some guidelines.

chance to prove yourself.
Jacobs said that he was not too concerned with a student's GPA as long as it was above a 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Like Jacobs, he was also interested in Prestestrel Concrete in Chicago, said GPA was not a big concern, although he warned that students should "know their
stuff." Obviously a student should have a higher GPA in courses related to the major.
Both Jacobs and Goodmiller stressed the importance of extra-circular activities. Interviewers look for well-rounded individuals with a variety of interests.
"What you do in your spare time tells people who you are." Jacobs said.
Goodmiller said he looked for candidates who demonstrated a willingness to learn as well as flexibility. A company is making an investment in you by hiring you and it wants to be sure it will benefit from this
decision.
"Plan your career goals and make sure you can fit into your career goals," Jacobs said.
"Don't be opinionated. The shortest interview I ever gave was to an applicant who made a snide remark about a university in Boston. I informed him I had graduated from that particular university. The interview was over."
Interviewers are human too. The bottom line is to be prepared, know what you want and go after it with confidence.
