SECCA, and

events at N.C. School of
the Arts as well as
events at our own
school.
I asked Mrs. Morrill if
her husband discussed
business with her or if
he asked her advice. She
replied, “He likes to talk
to whoever is around.
He’s always telling me a
new idea or having me
read something.” I
asked her how
everything was working
out and she said they
are very enthused with
the responsiveness of
the students, the staff,
and the faculty. “So far,
it’s been smooth sailing.
People have been so
cordial and warm.
We’ve had nothing but
good feelings. Everyone
is so cooperative, and so
wonderful, we just hope
the honeymoon can
last!”
We discussed
problems that may
arise during the year.
Mrs. Morrill said that
they knew about in
flationary problems and
the admissions
problems but things
were more pleasant
than they had hoped.
She told me of some
ideas she had discussed
with her husband
concerning admissions.
They’d like to see
Salem’s name appear
more often publically
and nationally. “We
want to make the
academy and college
more visible. We would
like to travel to alumnae
groups to keep their
enthusiasm alive. The
attitude of the people in
admissions is so good
and that’s half the
battle. Everybody is
willing to do everything
they can, and with that
kind of spirit, they’ll
find a way.”
Mrs. Morrill said that
she and her family
wanted to participate as
much as possible. She
says the girls were
impressed with
orientation'-especially
the skit. “They’re so
fortunate to live here.
We’re enriched to be
here. Dean Johnson
cares so much about the
students and there is
nowhere you can go
where people are
rooting for you like that.
We’re lucky to be here.
How does it feel to be
calmly settled into life
at Salem after traveling
throughout Europe for
several months, living
in a Kibbutz in Israel,
skin diving near the
coral reefs of the Red
Sea, and painting
houses in Portland,
Oregon? Well, Sarah
Williams, one of our
freshmen, has had all
these experiences and
she feels that the Salem
Community is great, but
that it is very different
from communities she
has seen in her travels.
■ Sarah, who lives in
Pittsburg, PA, spent
most of last year
traveling throughout
Europe on a youth
Eurailpass. The pass
entitied her to visit all
European countries
except East Germany
and Czechoslavakia for
a relatively inexpensive
cost. All Sarah had to
pay for was her tran
sportation, her food and
lodging, and any
souveniers.
So, Sarah and a friend
set out last September
on a grand tour. They
didn’t start in Europe,
though. First, they went
to Israel where Sarah’s
family was on sab
batical. While in Israel,
Sarah and her friend
lived in a Kibbutz for
two months.
A Kibbutz is a com
munity that is based on
equality-there is no
private property, and
everyone works for the
good of the community.
The base of the economy
is subsistance farming,
and Sarah hoped to get a
job working in the
fields, but she was put in
the kitchens and the
laundry. The Kibbutz
life is isolated from
other communities;
however. Kibbutz
workers could visit
nearby Jerusalem or
other towns. All workers
received food and
clothes, and each person
had his own apartment.
Sarah enjoyed working
the the Kibbutz at
mosphere, but she and
her friend left after two
months since they felt
that they were victims
of job discrimination
because of their sex.
However, before they
left Israel, they visited
the Sinai, saw the Dead
Sea, went skin-diving in
the Red Sea, and toured
St. Catherine’s
Monastery (the first
monastery ever built,
and the site of the
burning bush.)
It would taxe weeks
worth of column space
to tell all of Sarah’s
experiences on her trip,
so this article will just
touch on the highlights.
The countries and cities
Sarah visited are;
Athens, Greece; Corfu
(island); Crete; Rome,
Italy; Venice; Florence,
Italy; Austria; Swit
zerland; Nice, Bar
celona and Madrid,
Spain; Portugal;
Granada, Spain; Pans,
France; Munich,
Germany; and London,
Some of Sarah’s
favorite experiences
were; riding motopedes
all over the small island
of Corfu, going through
the Alps, celebrating
her birthday in Madrid,
meeting friends in
beautiful Munich, and
staying with some new
friends in London.
Since her trip was not
guided, Sarah could go
wherever and stop
whenever she pleased.
Mostly, she stayed in
youth hostels, (inex
pensive hotels in
Europe, that supply
youths with meals,
showers, beds,
fellowship, and in
formation). Any person
who is a member of the
International Youth
Hostel Association is
entitled to stay in a
hostel.
After visiting London,
Sarah flew home via
New York, because her
two-month pass was
almost over. She spent
her summer working
with her sister in
Portland, Oregon,
where they painted
houses.
Sarah loves to travel
(as you’ve probably
guessed) and she hopes
to spend her junior year
abroad. Her next trip,
she says will be to the
British Isles, but for a
while, she’ll be right
here at Salem. So talk to
her about her travels-it
will be well worth your
time!

Incunabula
Bread as AR T
Why is Incunabula
sponsoring a bread
baking you ask. Isn’t
Incunabula the group
that publishes Salem’s
literary magazine in the
fall and spring? After
all, a loaf of bread
doesn’t exactly qualify
as a piece of “per
manent” art, as prose,
poetry or as music. We
agree that a well-made
loaf of Jewish braided
bread might not be an
example of “per
manent” art, but it is a
piece of rather tasty art,
and we hope that in the
making, baking and
breaking of our bread,
we will get to know each
other better.
Mrs. Lyerly, Babcock
Residence Hall
Director, has agreed to
give us a lesson on
making loaves of Jewish
braided bread next
Thursday afternoon,
Sept. 27. We will meet in
the Home Economics
Lab, on the third floor of
the Science Building at
4;(X); mix our dough and
then let it rise for two
hours. After supper, we
will return to the lab to
make the loaves, let
them rise another hour
and then bake them for
30 minutes. There will
be plenty of time for you
to study or run errands
while the bread is
rising. You may bake a
loaf by yourself or team
up with someone else.
We are charging two
dollars per loaf in order
to ''ay for the
ingreoicnts. If you are
interested in par
ticipating, please sign
up on the poster
provided in the refec
tory and pay your two
dollars to Lynnette
Delbridge, 201 Strong,
or Fran Johnson, 224
Gramley, by 6;30
Tuesday, Sept. 25.

Numerous Salem
students have spent
January on other
campuses, and firmly
support this opp-
portunity. It is a
priceless experience for
it allows you to enjoy
new surroundings,
possibly attend a dif
ferent type of school,
take interesting cour
ses, learn to cope with
different living
situations and meet
people from all over. It
is a wonderful op
portunity which endures
a stimulating January
term.
