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 kill Kabul and Baghdad, which was seized by the insurgent Kutuk.
The statement, sent to The Associated Paperhouse, said that Telex, could not be confirmed independently.

"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 Faardiya, on the road from Dohuk to Mosul.
They said the two installations were among the last that government forces controlled in northern Korea.
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, Kefu, Dokhan, Kalar and Tuz Khormatu.
The Kurds said they feared a new threat *starvation* the only supply route now open is into Aleppo.
In southern Iraq, where Saddam's forces largely have succeeded in putting down rebellions by Shite Muslims, hunger was a strong factor in the lands of refugees fleeing into allied-controlled areas.
In the Iraqi border town of Safwan, food riots broke out yesterday as Saudi Arabian food trucks arrived.
"We tried to organize, but the people are just too hungry," said Major Youssef Ali Albourd of the Saudi military "They see the food, and they go crazy."
No serious injuries were reported in the
rioting.
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.

Under the measure, Iraq would have to let U.N. experts destroy its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

Internships offer students valuable work experience
By Allison Burgess

Special to the Kansan
Have you ever wondered what makes an employer choose one applicant as opposed to others?
Interests are one of the best forms of experience available, and for those students who are serious about competing in sports or games they are an essential part of their educations.
In addition to improving your resume, internships can give you a feel for the field itself and let you see if it's the right one for you.
If you are a student who has already decided on a major, it's probably a good time to think about getting an internship. As a rule, it's never too early to start, but most schools recommend that students take a foreign course of courses in their major before applying.
"Working inside the place and learning about the internal functions of the staff helped me realize this is the right field for me." she said.
In some cases, internships can be used for course credit, others for a regular wage and some are strictly voluntary. If you decide to apply for a credit internship, make sure you check with your respective school first.
Karen Burdick, Harrisonville, Mo.
juniar, said her work experiences last
summer with an advertising firm gave her an
edge that many students lack.
Finding out about internships possibilities is easier than you might realize.
First, students should contact someone in
their department. These contacts can tell you what internships are available, and they can inform you where to get additional information about the internships. Students can also get help at the Student Employment Center, 1 Strong Hall, the University Placement Center, 110 Burge Union, and the Career Resource Center, 116 Bailey Hall. In addition, there is information available at Watson Library.
You should get the name of a company's personnel director from these sources, and then gather information to send to him or her.
Some companies will request a copy of a student's transcript, so it's a good idea to keep one on hand. The student will need to send a resume, cover letter and references. It's also a good idea to send work samples if possible. A student should make himself as available as possible; try to make it easy for people to interview you.
County companies will send a reply even if they choose not to interview an applicant. Always write a follow-up letter, even if the company sends you a rejection letter. It's good etiquette, and it's another opportunity for them to be in front of the person who does the hiring.
Students gain confidence from working with professionals, and internships provide students with work samples to show prospective employers.
Most importantly, however, internships give students practical experience that will give them an advantage in competing for jobs. It is not unusual for companies to hire students who have worked for them as interns.
When interviewing for that important job, you need to be prepared. Let the KU Bookstores help.
We have everything you need to assist you in your job or internship hunt.
