The event is sponsored by David Shellenberger, owner of The Suit Club, and Foley’s. Tassie Boultinghouse, an em ployee for Foley’s and Class of ’90, will speak about the corpo rate culture and what is appro priate attire for women to wear to a job interview. Shellenberger has worked in the men’s clothing business for 29 years and said he believes stu dents can put themselves at a competitive advantage if they prepare for their job interviews. “Students have spent time preparing themselves academi cally for a job; they should pre pare themselves for their inter views as well,” he said. He said if a student invests money in an education, job in terviewing is an area of prepara tion they should make time for before an interview. “It’s like betting $80,000 on getting a job; if you prepare, you can expect a return investment,” Shellenberger said. Terri Morrison, assistant di rector of the Career Center, said this seminar is the kick off for this interviewing year. “This seminar will help stu dents prepare for interviewing — they will learn what would be suitable to wear to interviews,” she said. Morrison said students can learn how to begin building a professional wardrobe. “At the seminar, speakers will show students how to shop for suits, what are the best fabrics and fabric texture, how to acces sorize and how to choose the right shoes," Morrison said. Shellenberger said when it comes to interview dressing most students have a lack of knowl edge. “Students may have gathered misinformation about what to wear,” he said. “At the workshop we use research from John Mal loy’s book. Dress for Success. Certain things students wear to an interview are correct; others are totally incorrect." Morrison said if students attend the workshop they will learn the difference between business for mal and business casual. "To skeptical students I would like to talk to them about how critical first impressions are — they make a tremendous impact. One of the first things an inter viewer sees is a person's clothes," she said. “We want our students to look as professional as possible. ” She said a person's shoes could have r terviewer.

In an interview with Newsweek, the former president refused to discuss the scandal that threatens to bring down President Clinton. He referred to it only as “current events.” Bush told Newsweek he be lieves the institution of the presi dency will emerge intact. “When Carter left office, Lloyd Cutler wrote an article saying maybe the (presidency) had be come too big for any individual to cope,” he said. “Reagan came in ... and made very clear that he could cope.” Bush is calling attention to his own legacy, having written a new book, A World Transformed, with his former national security advis er, Brent Scowcroft. The book chronicles how Bush handled the end of the Cold War. Continued from Page 1 Melissa Oestreich, Vice Pres ident of Membership for College Republicans, hasn’t always agreed with President Clinton, but thinks his presidency has been somewhat of a success. “He hasn’t done a bad job as president.” Oestreich said.” I don’t always agree with him on specific policy issues but he has done a decent overall job.” When asked about the al leged offenses, Aggie Democrat President Michael Schaub doesn’t see any of the presi dent’s actions as grounds for impeachment. “I think that it is pretty clear that he hasn’t committed any impeachable offenses.” Schaub said. “ He has done a great job as president so far, and I think th^t we.need to ignore the per sonal and concentrate on his policies.” Eva Darski, President of Col lege Republicans has yet to read any of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s reports. c/fis. ^ijou FOR YOUR JOB INTERVIEWS? • Do you know what colors are most successful? • Do you know which is best?

It is all in Con gress’s hands now. 1 believe that Congress will make an in formed decision about the pos sible consequences of his ac tions. 1 have confidence in our representatives to do what is best for our country.” As far as possible repercussions in other areas of politics, Schaub doesn't see any of the latest con troversy as terminally damaging. "He has admitted to his mis takes and we need to move on." Schaub said. ” I don't think that this has crippled him beyond re pair. It might affect some of the national Democrats, but as far as the 2000 election. Gore will inevitably be tied to that. It all depends on who they (Democ ratic party) put forth for the election.” Carter feels any damage done lately will not be lasting. “It will possibly hurt the par ty (Democratic) for the next two elections, 1998 and 2000. After that it will die down, just like Nixon and the Republicans,” Carter said.
