Bob Riley called for a nationwide travel boycott of Aruba on Tuesday until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island cooperate more fully with the family of a teenager who has been missing since May. Riley said he is concerned the Aruban investigation has produced no results in the case of . 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, and he’s not convinced everything is being done. “There are no other alternatives to get Aruban authorities to take this as seriously as they should,” Riley said in calling for the boycott. “I am reaching the point of exasperation,” he said. “Every time we talk to them we get a different response.” Riley was joined at Alabama’s Capitol by Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, who contends Aruban authorities Rob Carr / The Associated Press Alabama Gov.

Riley called for a nationwide travel boycott of Aruba until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island cooperate more fully with the family of the missing teenager. have failed to adequately investigate the possible murder of the Mountain Brook teen, who was with a Dutch teenager and two Surinamese brothers on the night she disappeared. The young men were held for a time but have been released. Twitty and her husband, Jug, did not speak and left before reporters could ask them questions. Tourism accounts for 70 percent of the gross domestic product of Aruba, an island of 97.000 residents which receives some 728,000 visitors each year and another 550.000 cruise ship passengers. Island officials have said more than 70 percent of the visitors are from the United States. Aruba Police Chief Gerald Dompig said later Tuesday the investigation into Holloway’s disappearance is not complete and that authorities want to interview Mountain Brook teenagers who were on the trip with Holloway. “We want to talk once more with various students because their first statements, taken by the FBI, were very short,” Dompig said. “There are a few crucial questions that they still have to answer.” He would not say what those questions were. 4 Island authorities previously detained 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot, the son of a Dutch justice official, and his two friends, Surinamese brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18. They have said they were with Holloway on the night she disappeared, but a court ruled there was not enough evidence to continue to hold them. The Alabama House passed a resolution during a special session in July urging residents of the state to boycott Aruba. But the resolution never came^ up in the Senate because the family asked lawmakers to hold off to give Aruban authorities more time. DRESS • CODTIliUCD FR0I111 Conferences, agree that piercings should be removed, unless they are not visible. “If I cannot see them, like navel rings, it obviously is a non-issue,” Steele said. “If I could see a navel ring that would be another issue in itself.” The suggested attire is very conservative and professional, but there is flexibility for some students. Salters said students should dress for the job they want, and jobs in creative fields such as art and fashion allow for more stylish options. Students should also research employers to have a better idea of what attire they expect. Occasionally, employers come to an interview dressed casually, but Salters tells students to still wear professional clothing. “Even if an employer is dressed down, you need to dress for the position,” Salters said. “They have their job. You don’t.” Other than looking professional and making a good impression, Salters says wearing a suit might also help boost students’ confidence when interviewing for jobs. “There’s something about dressing for the part that makes you be the part,” he said. George and Mavis aren’t the only resources for students wanting to do well in job interviews. The career center offers career counseling, a career library, internship and co-op information, mock interviews and other services. Dressing well is only one aspect of a good job interview, but it is one that can easily be achieved, especially with George and Mavis now setting a good example for students. “There is truth in the phrase ‘You never have a second^ chance to make a first impression,’” Steele said.
