Korean children brought by Reagans arrive in New York for heart surgery
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Two ally South Korean children brought to the United States by President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, for heart health care. "Everyday and were taken to a New York hospital.
The 7-year-old girl, Ahn Ji Sook, and 4-year-old boy, Lee Kil Woo, into La-Guardia Airport waving American flags. They were taken to St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, NY. They were treated for surgery unavailable in Korea. Both have holes in their hearts, and Ji also suffered aides' injuries.
A hospital spokesman said that the children would immediately undergo complete physicals and then would rest for a few days. If the tests do not pass, in the meantime, the operations will be performed next week.
Their arrival in New York followed a long flight from Seoul with the Roagans and a visit to their home country.
DURING REAGAN'S SPEECH on the lawn, both children fidgeted impatient and stared around them at the trees bursting with red and gold foliage. The girl bashily held her head behind Mrs. Reagan's arm when the president gestured in her direction.
Reagan looked down at the pair affectionately and said, "They had their first airplane ride and their first helicopter ride — and they have been very active some 16 or 17 hours," referring to some cawing in the aisles of Air Force One on the way back from Seoul.
Kil, wearing a blue shirt and blue trousers.
appeared somewhat apprehensive and shook up by the attention that he had received at LaGuardia. He be relaxed when a man in the greeting party held him in his arms, and his shyness dissolved when he was hoisted on the shoulders of another man.
JI, DRESED IN A Green 'plaid jacket and skirt and a white blouse, had been poised throughout the trip. She calmly munched popcorn during a brief set of speeches at LaGuardia. During the flight from Seoul she had explored various compartments of the president's plane, positioning on typewriters and showing off her skills by producing a precise caricature of Reagan.
At both the White House and the LaGuardia arrivals, the children waved American flags at the hundreds of people who showed up to greet them.
They were accompanied from Washington by officials of Gift of Life Inc., a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation based in Manhasset, N.Y., that is the main sponsor for the children. The organization is administered by volunteer members of a local Rotary Club chapter.
St. Francis Hospital also pays some of the doctor fees, according to a White House aide.
HARRIET HODGES, A 66-year-old U.S. woman living in Seoul who introduced the children to Mrs. Reagan, said the first lady had been a "very warm-hearted woman." Mrs. Reagan and her hand-games with the children gave them constant attention during the long flight, from Seoul.
"I am a sucker for children," Mrs. Reagan said of her young traveling mates. "They'redy come to me."

faculty and more opportunity to develop new initiatives from our office."
Burchill said, "As I understand it, what Vize Chancellor Tacha wants is someone to work with her on everything. She's just been swamped. I will have a role in essentially everything."
Burchill said his responsibilities and goals in the office would probably become more specific as he grew.
Tacha said she was seeking someone with experience in University administration and governance to fill the position. Burhill was chairman of the division of biological sciences several faculty committees, including the several faculty committees, including the building committee for the Haworth Hall addition.
AFTER MORE TIME in the job. Burchill said.
he might have to forego more teaching and research work to devote time to administration.
"It's the most fun part of the whole job," he said. "Working with students in the lab — that's just really, really fun. Giving lectures is hard work."
As on most nights, Burchill said, he worked last night at the McCollum Research Lab on West Campus. His research specialty is cell metabolism, although he has done much work studying the effects of radiation on cell functions.
That research has kept him at the lab many night late, he knows that he's not expect his wife to be easier next semester.
"When you take an administrative position, you're signing on for lots of late nights," he said.
Shuttle
The gray tones of the black and white radar photographs, which will be sent to KU from National Aeronautics and Space Administration about three months after the shuttle flight, will be adjusted according to the brightness of the calibration target on the photograph.

DOBSON COMPARED THE experiment to a photographer's attempt to adjust the color in a color photograph so that the flesh tones in a person's face would be correct.
If the calibration target looks right on the image, then everything else will look right, he said.
Dobson said that the photographs developed from the radar would determine how well the equipment could map vegetation on Earth.
The KU experiments were scheduled to take place in Iowa when the flight of the space
Fawwaz Ulaby, director of the Remote Sensing Lab, said that the experiment would use high-frequency radar, which until now has only been used on airplanes. High-frequency radar was better than low-frequency radar in mapping vegetation because the radio waves bounce off vegetation instead of penetrating it.
BUT BECAUSE THE space shuttle flight has been postponed until Nov. 28, Dobson cannot measure growing crops, which he needs to be able to measure Earth's biomass, or living material. However, he said he could get the data from storing trees in the West German countryside.
shuttle was scheduled for Oct. 28, Dobson said.
HOWEVER, AFTER A team of scientists at the NASA conducted a simulation of the shuttle flight, they discovered that the spacecraft could lift off from orbit much energy to be operated for a long time.
Because of this, NASA officials decided to turn off the X-band radar during the orbit that would have passed over Iowa, thus preventing Dobson from conducting the experiments there. The radar would, however, operate during the orbit that passes over West Germany, giving Dobson one second to do the experiment.
A third experiment that Dobson will conduct is to measure the amount of water in the soil.
