Three women visiting
campus on Ella Olesen
scholarships have discovered
Moscow and the Isle of Man are
A world apart
W
here in the hell is the Isle of
Man? And, what would two women
from this small commonwealth
and one from Denmark be doing
in Moscow, Idaho? Why studying, and
learning about the University of Idaho,
of course.
Three women - Rosemary Callin !tom
Santon, Isle of Man, Tracey Dean from
Glen Vine, Isle of Man, and Anni
Vanggaard from Hjorring, Denmark -
are the 1982 recipients of the Ella
Olesen Scholarship.
Ella Olesen, former UI Registrar and
long time resident, founded this scholarship
several years ago in order to allow
women, from designated countries, the
opportunity to continue their studies for
a qear at Idaho. "This program," according
to Olesen, "was established with
the hope that it will be a small contribution
toward international understanding
by providing the opportunity
for a number of UI students to
associate with a girl from another country."
Olesen's mother emigrated to the U.S.
from the Isle of Man, United Kingdom;
her father was from Denmark. For the
past several years, she oHered this
scholarship to two or three Manx women
who just recently graduated from a
university or polytechnic. Although
Olesen has, in the past, sponsored a
woman from Jamaica, Vanggaa rd was
the first Dane to receive this award.
Callin, who received a B.S. Honours
Degree from Edinburgh University,
Scotland, finds Idaho very beautiful.
"Since this is my first visit to America,
I'm also interested," she said, "in seeing
New York, D.C., Boston - all those
American cities I've heard so much
about. I love to travel, to see everywhere
I can, and so this scholarship offered me
an opportunity to do just that."
Dean, who had been to the U.S. several
times previously, planned on visiting
here again even if she hadn't received
this award. "Who's going to pass up an
opportunity to come to America?" she
good-naturedly asked. "Not me. I like
this country, although I do miss home. I
like the people because they're kriendly
and I love the scenery - especially the
mountains, oceans and cities. Everything
is so much larger." .
Dean graduated last June from
Kingston Polytechnic, London, with a
B.A. Honours Degree emphasizing
Graphic Design. "There are fewer
students here when compared to the 120
at Kingston," she explained. "And, this
program aims at the Northwest Market,
whereas ours was geared towards a
much broader one. But Idaho's program
is very good at teaching tha mechanical
process, an important aspect of
Graphics."
Dean claimed that she enjoyed her
drawing classes at UI the most. "The
