In US resume has to be a one page structured document for two reasons.
a)   The interveiwer can go through your resume quickly as he has lot of resume to see.
b)  Its easy for you to highlight your skills and avoid repetitions.

Following is the structure which is followed in US for on-campus, internship and full time job resume's
Name
The name should be first line on the page and in the centre because its the centre of the page where a person will look at on first glance.
Students can either put name in capital letters or runnning script but capital letters is recoommended.
.Below the name write your residential addres, e-mail contact and phone number.Try fitting in one line

Objective
It is very important to write objective because accordingly the HR might sort out the resume
For Example For
Oncampus - To obtain a student assistants job at San Francisco State University
For Internship - To obtain an internship in area of data analysis or learning JSP
For Full Time job - To obtain a full time position in treasury operations or marketing.
Be very specific about your objective.Students will have to think of sentences in such a way that it covers most of their feild of expertise.
Skills
This is one of the most important part of resume as at a glance the interveiwer comes to know about your skills.However it differs from MBA to Computer Science.
An MBA student would write about his commmunication and team player skills whereas a computer science student will write about the programming languages he knows under different category
A rough format of the two types of resume is given at the end.
Academic
Under this section write the most current academic qualification first with name of the university and place.
Work Experience
This is the most impotant part of the resume and the only one which your interveiwer is interested.If you are a student with proper work experience mention the name of the company, time frame you worked and the palce where worked from
Mention about your work in about three bullet points.Make each bullete point fits in one line.
Students without work experience can write about their project under the projects section.They can write about any part time jobs they have done but for example a freasher with computer science background can write about his on-campus job but it is recommended to stress more on projects unless the student is doing something like website development,maintainance on his on-campus job.
Projects
The format of the projects is same like the work experience section just that instead of the name of the firm the student writes the name of his project.The student has to mention the objective of the project as bullet point and what he learnt for the project and the different task he did to complete the project. All in bullet points.
Extra Cullicular Activities
This section has to be in one line and is to some extent imporant specially if you know to play some instrument or you had some professional traning like singing classes.It reflects the multi tasking quality if the student.It does add value to an MBA resume.As far as interest are concerned reading short stories would not count as "reading novels"
Resume Format
It important to describe work profile.The outcome of the work profile and activity performed to get the outcome.
Students should also include industry key words to describe their work profile. The best palce to know the key words used is the job descrition of the position you are applying for
