Silver Competition
Offer Seholarships
During the months of February
and March, Reed & Barton,
America’s oldest major silver-
amiths, are conducting a “Silver
Opinion Competition” in which
valuable scholarships totalling
$2,500 are being offered to duly
enrolled women students at a few
selected colleges and universities.
Salem College has been selected
to enter this Competition in which
the First Grand Award is a $1,000
scholarship. Second Grand Award
is a $500 scholarship. Third Grand
Award is a $300 scholarship, and
seven Grand Awards of $100 each
scholarships. In addition, there
will be 100 other awards consist
ing of sterling silver, fine china
and crystal with a retail value of
approximately $100.00.
In the 1975 “Silver Opinion Com
petition”, an entry form illus
trates twelve designs of sterling
with eight designs of both china
and crystal. The entrants simply
list the three best combinations
of sterling, china and crystal from
the patterns illustrated. Scholar
ships and awards will be made to
those entries matching or com
ing closest to the unanimous se
lections of Table-Setting editors
from three of the nation’s leading
magazines.
Miss Mary Kathryn Taylor is
the Student Representative who is
conducting the “Silver Opinion
Competition” for Reed & Barton
at Salem College. Those inter
ested in entering the “Silver Opin
ion Competition” should contact
Kathy Taylor at 230 Clewell for
entry blanks and for complete
details concerning the Competi
tion rules. She also has samples
of 12 of the most popular Reed &
Barton designs so that entrants
can see how these sterling pat
terns actually look.
Through the opinions on silver
design, expressed by college wom
en competing for these scholar
ships, Reed & Barton hopes to
compile a valuable library ot
expressions of young American
taste^

By Kem Mims
August 1974 was the beginning
of a long awaited dream come
true as Hannah Huske and I set
off a la backpack for Prestwick,
Scotland in the cockpit of a Brit
ish Airways D.C. 10. We arrived
there safely, although not quite so
soundly, at 6:35 A.M. on a blus
tery Scottish morn.
Our first few days were spent at
the clan MacMillan gathering ad
miring the knobby knees of kilted
Scotsmen and enduring “Scotland
the Brave” played by bagpipes'en
masse. We then spent the next
four and a half weeks treking all
over Great Britain—from a week
at the Edinburgh International
Festival to a frantic pursuit of
the sun on England’s southern
most island. The Isle of Wright.
(By the way, our search only
yielded four days of the summer’s
worst storm.) All in all we spent
five and a half wet, but fun, weeks
travelling around before arriving
one sunny Monday morning (a bit
bedraggled, but quite excited) at
Warnborough College, Oxford,
England.
The first week we spent ad
justing to our four story “Ed
wardian” home and the four guys
and six girls we shared it with.
After adjusting to waking up at
6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning to
beat the crowd at the open mar
ket, cooking meals with ten other
people on a “virtual hot plate”
and having heat only two hours
in the morning and two at night,
we mercilessly plunged into the
British tutorial system.
Three one hour tutorials (class
es) a week sounds terribly ap
pealing at first, however, the prep
aration for each of those tutorials
could probably be published as a
graduate thesis. It was a case of
sink or swim at first, and I found
myself going down for the tliird
time with no lifeguard in sight.
I must say, fending for yourself
while trying (but rarely succeed
ing) to fit the role of an “Oxford
scholar” is a trick that takes
much practice to pull off smooth
ly. There were many a night of
burning the midnight oil and
many a meal of raisin and peanut
butter sandwiches. Hannah and I
came to rely on at least a “pint
of bitter” (beer) a day for our
vitamins.
All jest aside, the experience
was great and I did find that with
practice it is possible to read an
average of ten books for one tu
torial without sacrificing that es
sential pub life. We also managed
a fling at the London Playboy
club, numerous theatre trips, a
fall break in Ireland, and a little
cavorting with the local gentry.
Before I totally bore you be
yond resuscitation, a word about
English men . . . chivalry is not
dead in England and the guys
are extremely appealing. How
ever, don’t expect to see a 6’4”,
250 lb. hunk cruising down the
street. They are few and far
between. In all, I believe I out
weigh 80% of the English guys.
But do watch out for those ac
cents . . . they have a bad habit
of Peter Lawford-izing some of
the ugliest blokes.
We found ourselves quickly
caught up in the ways of the
“motherland.” Tea every after
noon is a great excuse both for
study breaks and visiting. Pubs
became our homes away from
home, and bike riding every
where became an ultimate ne
cessity.
The most rewarding experience
of spending a semester abroad is
the sense of awakening and per
spective you gain from it. You
find yourself questioning values
that you, as an American, have
been reared on. You also find
yourself questioning your ability
to adapt to a completely different
way of life and thinking. Hannah
and I both found ourselves much
more appreciative of the comforts
of home — and school. Often es
pecially on Sundays) we found
ourselves missing Ted Young
more than any human being on
earth.
Hannah has now gone back to
Oxford to complete her second
semester and I have returned to
Salem living. Despite how much
I love and miss Oxford, it’s really
nice to be “home”.
