"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.

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
