After slugging each other around outside for a second, they burst inside and proceded to push and bump one another while using foul terms to describe their friends.

The other two boys asked, "C'we git a application?" Ah job hunters, I thought. I immediately noticed what they were wearing shorts, sneakers, concert T-shirts and baseball caps.

Danceact auditions to be held Tiffany, an 18-year-old, decided to apply for a job as a sales clerk at a prestigious department store in her local mall. After dressing up in a sharp-looking suit dress, she walked confidently over to the personnel desk wearing a sincere smile, extended her hand, and introduced herself to the manager. Next, she presented him with her typed application and resume' and genuinely expressed her interest in joining the company. She was granted an interview at that very moment. Later that evening, she received the call that gave her the job! PLAY THE GAME In Corporate America, the name of the game is "follow the leader." According to Molloy, a person should dress, act and sound like the gang at the office. In short, he must fit the company's image. "If you don't want to dress up, don't play the game," he said. In every aspect of life, most of us know that in order to win, we must play the game. For instance, no one has ever been known to win a game of chess without having played it first. Bored?

The performance, sponsored by the Associated Students of WSC, begins at 9 p.m. in the Shepherd Union Building Gallery. It is free to the public.

Reporter Jim Ahrens wrote, "It's as if someone had spliced together pieces of a Marx Brothers movie and an Errol Flynn swashbuckler."
