The Career Center is holding a
“Dress for Success” seminar
Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in 159
Wehner.
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

NEWS IN BRIEF
Clinton
Bush: Presidency
will remain intact
NEW YORK (AP) — George Bush
believes the institution of the pres
idency remains strong despite the
White House sex scandal.
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.

“I have no desire to read any
of Starr’s reports or to see the
video testimony. 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.
