A Letter Paves Way To KU For 'Mickie Kim' Of Korea
A small dark-haired, olive-skinned girl stepped from an airliner at the Kansas City, Mo., airport. Her name was Young Wha Kim and she had just completed a flight from Seoul, Korea.
A few hours earlier, Mickie Kim (as she is called by her American friends) had been in Los Angeles.
"I was afraid because it was so big and there was no one there I knew," Mickie said.
The people in Kansas City were very kind compared to those in Los Angeles, I felt safe."
Members of Delta Gamma sorority, where Mickie was to make her home, brought her to Lawrence from the airport. The new home at first seemed "so big and the girls all talked so much and so fast," Mickie said. "But now I don't feel like I am in America among a different race."
Mickie was employed in the Seoul offices of The Readers Digest at the officer's club in Seoul.
The story of Mickie's coming to the United States began nearly two years ago, when she met Capt. Stephan Merrill, an Army chaplain and the uncle of Barbara Seymour, then a Delta Gamma pledge at KU. Capt. Merrill quickly noted Mickie's overwhelming desire to attend school in the United States.
Capt Merrill suggested that Mickie write to his niece who could, perhaps, give her some information about college life in the States. Mickie wrote the letter and through this friendship, she was eventually able to come to the United States and KU.
Series of Tests
Soon Mickie found herself taking a series of exams.
"One test was given by the Ministry of Education and included English, western and Oriental history. The last test, given by the American Embassy, was the hardest." Mickie admits.
"After I learned that I had passed these tests, I had to take, oh, so many more tests and answer so many questions. Each time I would finish one part, I would think that I had failed. But no, each time they kept calling me back and I began to get very excited! My visa arrived in July and soon after, my passport came. Then I knew I had really been accepted."
She continued to work until the day before her journey began because "I had so many good friends at the office that I would not see for such a long time. I could not just quit and leave them so soon."
"I am so lucky." Mickie said sincerely. "Everything about this trip has been lucky and I am so happy here. I like my classes and although I still get scared sometimes, they are not so bad and the teachers are very kind. But I want to learn to understand and make American jokes!"

Georgia Gets Grant To Study U.S. Art
ATHENS, Ga.—(IP)—A project to discover materials for the study of the arts of the United States is being conducted at the University of Georgia. Under a $110,000 grant from the Carnegie Corp., there will be a comprehensive study to identify outstanding examples of American arts including painting, sculpture, architecture and crafts.
Facultv Groups Organized
The selected materials will be reproduced and assembled in a form suitable for use in courses of instruction. The new program is an attempt to remedy a serious dearth of teaching materials available in American art.
JERSEY CITY, N.J. —(IP)— To provide opportunity for faculty thinking, discussion and recommendation across departmental lines, 35 faculty members at Jersey City State Teachers College have been organized into divisions corresponding to the educational levels for which the institution prepares teachers—divisions of early childhood education, general elementary education, and upper elementary education.
