PRGFILE: ARTHA A DERSO By Samantha Meltzer Martha Anderson is an energetic senior who believes that everyone has something to contribute and has tak- en her own advice. She worked her way up from news writer to Features Editor, To Editor-in-Chief of The Simmons News. During her four years at Simmons, she served on dorm council for two, co-chaired the Mr. Simmons Contest, and completed a non-credited internship with the Boston Red Sox. I never planned on being a communications major or a newspaper editor, states Anderson who originally wanted to be a physical therapy major. Due to her per- sonal enjoyment of writing and her interest in Alden Poole's journalism class, she decided to switch majors. Anderson is quick to point out the support system at Simmons which made the demanding job of editor worth the effort. I would not have realized the strength of the support system here unless I took challenges. Although Anderson believes it's important to recog- nize the criticism of others, what I think about work is most important to me. I set high standards for myself and tend to be an extremist. She is excited to graduate and says she would not have made it without the support and encouragement of her family and friends. I've had to become tough-skinned and confident enough to take a stand. My family has been great about helping me keep things in perspective. The newspaper takes a lot of time and seems all-encom- passing. My friends and I manage to take advantage of free time to really enjoy ourselves.
