Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C., Friday, September 24, 1971
Number 7
Steineke, Nelda Join
In Salem Community
By Carole Field
It is hoped that the majority of
Salemites have had the opportunity
to meet Steineke and Nelda, this
year’s foreign students. If not, here
is some information concerning
them, in hopes that one will become
curious, seek them out, and learn
something from them.
Steineke Foot is from Amersfoort
in the Netherlands. Before coming
to Salem, Steineke attended a classi
cal grammar school, similar to an
American high school. She studied
English, French, German, Latin,
Dutch, Greek, History, Geography,
Physics, Chemistry, Gymnastics, Al
gebra, and Music. Now that Stein
eke is at Salem, she has decided
to concentrate her studies on music.
When Steineke returns to the
Netherlands, she will enroll in a
conservatory. She will have to find
a place to live and she will have
to be very independent. She appre
ciates very much the care she says
she is receiving at Salem. She
thinks we are very lucky to be re
ceiving our education in such a
‘'homey” atmosphere.
Nelda Bentos is from Montevideo,
Uruguay. Before coming to Salem,
Nelda worked for about six months,
having completed her studies at the
University. Nelda’s studies at the
University were concentrated on a
relatively new field called public
translation. As a public translator,
Nelda must translate legal docu
ments and certificates. It is inter
esting to note that Nelda has stu
died English for eleven years. For
seven years she studied under pri
vate teachers, for two years she
studied at the Anglo-Uruguayan
Cultural Institute, and the remain
ing two years she studied at the
University.
Both girls w^ere impressed with
the peacefulness and beauty of
Salem. Although they find there is
much to do, they say that there
seems to be no rush involved in
getting things done. They enjoy
what they call our “internalness,”
our warm atmosphere as exempli
fied in dormitory living. This is an
SALEM COLLEGE LIBPAPy
i
advantage they would not be able
to enjoy in their own countries.
Attendance at a university requires
that one either live at home (as in
Nelda’s case) or board with another
family (as in Steineke’s case).
Both girls expressed the wish to
be able to describe in detail their
countries and answer questions a
Salemite might have. They said
they would like to write more
lengthy newspaper articles about
their countries, but there is much
to be learned just in listening to
and talking wfith them.
