^27,1992 IShotts Gives 'humbs Up to Shining Through ByJngieShotts ^ "Jhining Through" starriirg Melarue Iriffith and Michael Douglas is the story an average secretary turning into a ames Bond. Sent into Berlin to discover -here the Germans are building a bomb ictorv, Melanie Griffith is thrown into he foie of a spy, while her only traininf Dines from watching spy movies. Mi- lael Douglas plays her boss and lover i-lvho must watch from the sidelines in stead of being the one to go undercover. ^Xhis movie has the refreshing twist of the woman risking her life for her juntry while the man stays behind and lopes for the best. Griffith's character is imilar to the one she played in Working ii Girl: entertaining but somewhat unre- iif; ilistic. Her sassy, outspoken attitude idds humor as she speaks her mind to those who are unaccustomed to hearing it and leads her character into some tense and suspenful situations. " Shin- ngfrhrough" is a well done, highly aining movie that I highly recom- !ic»iend, especially for those who enjoy ivies in which the woman plays the inant role. SG/4 letter contd. from page 5 [Wing an office. The fears of losing [your life to the office are unrealistic. Likedasses, everything has times when t is extranely demanding; these times dofiot last forever. By being involved you know what is going on around ipus and who are the best people to go to with certain problems. TTierefore, |)eople come to you with questions. After you tell them what they need to l®ow, naturally, a casual chit-chat be gins. This ensures that you do not lose irontact with your friends. In reference to doing a bad job, it is hard to do a bad job)iere at Salem. Everyone gives you Kjfeestions and possibilities for your office and usually all of them are gcxxl ones. What you have to decide is which ones can be accomplished. I also understand that it is uncom- . bletorunagainstyourfriends. This •s^peaally hard here because we are so if you are not a close friend 0 fomeone you are running against, f^ces are that one of your close friends Sbt with your opponent. We have ot ballots for a reason, and this is it. ®ople should vote for the best person °Hne job, not for who they consider a dpnk f believe that Salem stu- should and do understand that ^‘erunforoffices because they want 0 something for the schcx)l, not dft ^ believe someone else will ablp ^ ^ou't feel uncomfort- friends will respect you for **‘'youaredoing. lar. 15 6 p.m. Lounge Gentlemen Call I lar. 18 6 p.m. Lounge Dukes Men of fyale I I I So let's break the tradition of unop posed offices. All you have to do is lose your fear of it and "Go for the Gold." And remember this advice my father gave to me, 'Tt is better to run and lose than to not run at all. You become a better person by wirming,but even more so when you don't." Sincerely, Angie Shotts Response to "Aww Shut Up!!!" Contd. from page 5 ccbeen proven that the attitude of our students directly influences the percep tions of visitors, an editorial wntten deliberately to goad students (and fac ulty) into vocal and vehement reaction is not conducive to making a positive impression. Furthermore, it should be noted that unsigned letters to the editor have not been printed in The Salemj for the last three years; not should t be. One thing we must learn in college is the courage to put our names as well as our words in support of what we believe in. As responsible journalism and freedom of speech go hand in hand, I hope that in the future editorials can reflect both. Salem has so much to gam from the expression of student opinions when it is done well. Sincerely, Karen Lewis ScUemite Opening of the Salem Commons!
