The Straight Talk on
Wayne's World
by Angie Shotts and Betsy Giannini
Two thumbs up! Excellent! Party On Betsy! Party on Angie! Wayne's World,
as we all know originated from a Saturday Night Live skit. Therefore, the humor
is aimed at the young adult aowd. The movie is highly entertaining The plot is
thin, but the humor carries you through. Waynes's World is a great movie to see
after a long hard night such as sophmore/Senior. Dana Garvey, Mike Myers and
even Rob Lowe show their true talent in this film. So, go enjoy and pick your own
ending. And remember, that babe- a licious babe sure can wail.
Straight Talk
This movie stars Dolly Parton and James Woods. It has the common theme of
poor girl turn famous. Caught in the lie of pretending she is a doctor, Dolly learns
that honesty is always the best policy. This movie is full of down home southern
wit and is done in Dolly's usual clean manner, but we still enjoyed it!

The Salem Commons
by Hester Havercamp
The Salem Commons has most defi
nitely seen its share of action since
opening on February 28 for the Winter
Formal. Friday's Casino Night and the
Winter Formal dance in the Great Hall
were a big success. The accoustic band
Harrison and McClure also entertained
Sunday afternoon in the Commons
Lounge.
Salem was also entertained in the
Lounge with the memorable songs of
the Gentleman Callers from Wheaton
College and the Dukesman of Yale.
Other special events in the Commons
included Strong's pre-St. Patrick's Day
dance party in the Grille area and the
mysteries of
magician extraordinaire.
Debbie Cates welcomes any new
suggestions for the Commons and hopes
that all the many requests for "a place to
hang out" and "yogurt" have been
happily met! Ironically, the delivery of
the beautiful new chairs for the Grille
was delayed due to the civil war in Yu
goslavia, where they were n\ade!
On April 25 Jane Powell, Jazz, R&B
and Motown singer, will be singing in
the Commons for the Alumnae and
Founder's Day Weekend.
Lastly, the post-Sophomore/Senior
party in the Commons was a tremen
dous success. The band Residew from
Davidson College provided excellent
tunage and both the 25 cent draft and
Salem's charming women (not neces
sarily in that order!) drew a good-sized
crowd. As on WFU male visitor com
mented as to what brought him to
Salem,"We saw all the flyers at Wake,
and this time we came!" Keep it up Sa
lem!
Eco Notes
Environmentally Safe Cleaners
by Jeni Thomas
Household cleansers can be very
helpful products that allow us to clean
and freshen our world. However, these
products, while helpful, can be very
damaging to the enviroiunent. Most
cleansers end up going down the drain
(via sinks, tubs and toilets), and out
into the soil, water and even the air.
Here, these harsh chemicals can dis
turb the natural balance of the environ
ment— killing animals and plant life,
and even poisoning our own water
supply. While this is a dismal pros
pect, there are several things you can
do to help. First, pin-point your cleans
ing needs and find an environmentally
safe substitute. For example: baking
soda is an excellent scrubbing and
cleansing powder that vdll not scratch
or harm surfaces. Vinegar is a wonder
ful grease cutter and window cleaner.
Both of these products are significantly
cheaper than conventional cleansers.
There are also several commercial envi-
ronmentally-safe cleansers available at
vour local health food store.
Whenyou find thatyou have to use
a conventional cleanser such as laun
dry and dish^etergent, make sure that
itisphosphate-free. A cup of vinegar or
baWng soda in the final rinse of you
wash in an effective whitening agent
instead of bleach.
