When she came here she spoke virtually no English, but she was eager to learn. “It was scary at first,” she said, “but it will be easier to get a job if I am bilingual.” Kieko took an English class at North Carolina State University during her first semester at St. Mary’s College, but she says she learned a lot of her English just watching television and listening to her roommates. As far as her other classes go, she said they are difficult. She believes, however, that she shouldn't receive special at tention and she works very hard. “They do not study nearly as much at the universities in Japan as they do at the universities in America," she said. “It is very hard to be accepted to the universities in Japan, but once you get in you graduate automatically, no matter what.” Not everything is different in North Carolina than Japan though, Kieko says it is “very Americanized in Tokyo. There are even Pizza Huts there.” When it comes to the dif ferences in the people in Tokyo and North Carolina, Keiko says, “In Tokyo, strangers never speak to each other. But here everyone says ‘Hi. how are you? ’ I think that’s nice. I really like it here.” Jones Wins Scholarship Lynn Jones Miss Lynn Jones of Sperryville, Virginia, has won the T. Marshall Hahn Scholarship at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The scholarship, valued at $1,500. will enable Miss Jones to pursue her study of architecture.
