One of the activities, a professionaldress fashion show, is scheduled to take place on Sept. 23 at noon at Center Stage. The fashion show will display various outfits that are appropriate for professional settings, including job interviews. Alison Gray, the employer relations specialist, explained that "Our department has the responsibility to teach students how to dress professionally and be competitive. One way we have found ... to tell students about what to wear is through fashion shows." The fashion show will be sponsored by Dillard's. "Dillard's mentioned that when applicants come for interviews in jeans and other inappropriate attire, they become very concerned, so they are offering to help," said Gray. Gray passed along the following tips to dress for success.

White published the children's classic Charlotte's Web in 1952, it became a best-selling favorite. The story of Wilbur, a pig destined to become bacon, and his friendship with Charlotte, a spider who is set on saving his life, is full of universal themes that are important for children and adults alike - and yes, "adults" includes college students. "I chose this one because I think it's a beautiful, touching story that many people can relate to," director Christopher Clark said. "I just thought this would be a great opportunity to do something theatrical with a story that so many people love." And the something that was done is quite remarkable. Joseph Robinette's stage adaptation, created under White's direction, is traditionally performed with actors in animal costumes. What makes this particular production unique is that all of the animal characters are brought to life by puppetry- A children's story with puppets? It might sound like a turn-off to twentysomethings, but quite the opposite is true. The way the puppets are constructed allows their mechanisms to be clearly visible and it is intriguing to watch the actors interact with their "other halves.*' The puppeteers' work alone makes attending the show worthwhile. An integral part of this dynamic is the voice acting. Although the minimalistic puppets are carefully and precisely constructed - Wilbur, for instance, can blink - what brings them more to life than anything else is the voice acting. The strength AL SON WORTHEN/ UVU Review of the production truly lies A scene from Charlotte's Web Is brought to life by Kelsey Kendall (Fern), Ames E.
