TATJANA PLUME, Latvian displaced person (center) chats with Delber S. Robb, (left) moderator of Westminster Fellowship at K.U. and Dr. John H. Patton, University Presbyterian minister, at a reception at Westminster hall held in her honor by the Presbyterian students.
A Year's Dream Is Realized By Refugee
After a year of hoping and preparing, the dreams of a Latvian displaced person have finally been realized in a birthday gift of a new homeland and a university scholarship.
Miss Tatjana Plume, a refugee from Riga, Latvia, arrived in the United States just one day before her 23rd birthday which was Sept. 13. She came to Westminster hall, 1221 Orcad, Sept. 16, where she will live while attending the University. The Westminster Fellowship of Presbyterian students here is sponsoring her.
The warm reception that Miss Plume received as she arrived at Westminster hall was quite unlike the treatment she has received since fleeing to Austria in the face of Russian expansion in 1944.
A full scholarship offered her through the World Student Service fund, the American branch of the World Student relief, which is active on the campus, made her attendance here possible.
Acting somewhat shy but looking comparable to any American college woman, Miss Plume left Austria August 18 and sailed to New York on an International Refugee Organization ship carrying IORR. IQR-charted vessel carrying 1,368 D.P.s to new homes in this country.
She then journeyed to Center Cross, Va., where she visited a distant relative, Miss J. Clarkson, before driving on to Lawrence.
Miss Plume was born in Riga, Latvia, which is only 800 kilometers, or 500 miles, from Moscow. Latvia located along Russia's western border and about the size of West Virginia, was formerly a part of the Russian empire, but with Russian
and German expansion and domination of the small country in 1944. Miss Plume and her mother fled to Austria.Her father joined them later.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Plume, plan to be resettled in Canada this month. Their daughter hones to visit them there.
At the end of the war, with the help of I.O.R. and the World Student relief, she was able to complete six semesters at Innsbruck university in Austria, studying philosophy and philology. She earned money as a coach of American children in swimming classes in Germany and as a part-time nursemaid. She also learned tailoring.
Miss Plume is able to speak, read,
and write Latvian, German, Spanish,
Russian, and English. Sports
and raucism are her outside interests.
As an expert swimmer, she was the "woman champion of Latvia" from 1942 to 1944 and was a member of the Austrian national swimming team while living in a D.P. camp outside Innsbruck.
Miss Plume's classification at the University is yet unknown, but possibly she will enroll as a graduate or special student. Her classification will be determined after University officials evaluate the courses she has taken with those of the University.
Plans to bring her into this country originated in Sept., 1949.

Three Teachers Write Manual
"Write Now." the laboratory manual which will be used in the new English course la, was written in collaboration by A. C. Edwards, associate professor of English, and Miss Natalie Calderwood and Edgar Wolge, instructors in English, Professor Edwards, who is supervisor of freshman-sophomore English, was in charge of the writing which was begun last spring and was completed this summer.
It is hoped that students will learn in the extra three hours a week they will spend on the lessons in this manual to organize their material, listen critically, state a proposition clearly and correctly, and read with attention.

Also along the Naktong river, th spokesman said, British troops ar advancing and have wiped out pocket of 300 North Korean troop
The spokesman's report was given at a morning Pentagon press briefing.
On the northern perimeter of the southern front, the spokesman said there are further indications of withdrawals by the North Korean troops.
One bridgehead, he said, is in an area northwest of Changnyong where the U.S. 2nd division has advanced about two miles west of the Naktong river.
Washington, Sept. 19—(U.P.)-Allied forces now have three "well-established" bridgeheads across the Naktong river on the southern Korean front, a military spokesman said today.
Three Bridgeheads Cross Naktong River In Korea
Enemy lines on the southern front are stiffening, he said, but United Nations forces still are advancing.
The spokesman said he could not pinpoint the other two bridgeheads.
The only new information offerc about fighting in the Inchon-Seoul area was that there still is no evidence of red troop movements from north of the 38th parallel.
As for the campaign in the south, a spokesman read from a personal letter written to a friend by Maj. Gen. John H. Church, commander of the 24th division.
"The whole thing can be characterized by too many hills, too much rain and too many North Korean troops," Church said in part.
