Versatile Korean
Arrives After Delay
The Korean student who inquired about RJC last year finally arrived here on Saturday, September 25. He is Johng K. Lim who
is enrolled in the pre-agriculture
course and hopes to become the
best farmer in Korea some day.
When Lim decided to come to
the United States to study agriculture, he was interested in Minnesota or Iowa because of the
farm land here. A deciding factor in coming to RJC was a recommendation by Dr. K. S. Kim,
former fellow in the Mayo Foundation now studying in Liverpool,
England. Dr. Kim is a good
friend of Dr. Pyung K. Lim, brother of Johng, a research fellow in
the department of physiology at
Northwestern University.
After Lim finishes at JC, he
plans to go to the University of
Minnesota or Iowa State College.
His subjects are chemistry, biological science, English composition, and' health.
He became interested in agriculture while he worked for the
American army as an interpreter
and translator. He was a "city"
boy up until then, born and raised in Seoul, where he graduated
from Kyunggi high school, the
best in the country, and attended  two years of  history courses
at Chosen Christian  University in
Seoul.
On the way to Rochester, Lim
visited with his brother, whom he
had last seen in 1949. The rest
of his family lives in Seoul. His
mother died three years ago, and
his father is a retired landlord.
Two of his six brothers are officers in the Korean army, one an
instructor in the naval academy
and the other attached to the
American fleet. His one sister is
15 years old.
In order to come to the United
States, he needed a "sponsor," a
citizen to vouch for him. Lim's
sponsor is Dr. Bennett Cohen, lecturer in public health at the University of California, who was a
fellow student in Northwestern
with Lim's brother. Lim is putting himself through school with
the money saved from his work
with the American army, and with
funds from his brother and father.
Lim enjoys horseback riding
and is very accomplished at it.
He hopes to be able to join the
local riding club next summer.
Before serving with the American
army, he was assistant instructor
in the metropolitan  mounted po-

New Course,
Big Success
The Freshman-Sophomore Mixer—the first big social event of
the term—was held Wednesday,
September 29 in the North Gym
of Coffman Building and was a
big success in the minds of everyone attending. Featured were a
swim-gym, entertainers, food and
dancing.
Swimmers had a great time in
the Coffman pool playing water
tag and just swimming in general. Don Kruse volunteered his
services as lite guard.
The South Gym was the scene
of enthusiastic games of badminton, while a large group of R. J.
C.'ers played volley ball in the
North Gym.
Later in the evening a program
of organized buffoonery got off
to a good start as Joe Alexander
left no doubts about his great
ability as a comedian. He gave
a very humorous monologue depicting his "life story" and a verbal impersonation of "Sam Shovel, private eye."
When he finished, Alexander
was joined by Carl Peterson and
Charlotte Blumers and the three
continued the comedy.
Next, a satirical impression of
the song "Frankie and Johnnie"
was given in pantomime with
Dorothy Thoe and Dean Ihrke doing the title roles. Dick Cutshall
was the bartender and Edythe
LaBrash the "other gal." Also
appearing in the skit were Pat
Hamilton, Pat McKnight, Kay
Brown, Pat Moe, Mary Joe Devlin, and Marlene Hardtke.
After refreshments in the form
of pop and sandwiches were served, the lights were dimmned and
the dancing began. Tom Jones-
disk jockey for the evening—spun
recordings by Les Brown, Les Baxter and other top name bands.
Members of the activities committee for this get-together were
Dick Jensen, chairman; Charlotte
Blumers, Margaret Lee, Roger
Ranfranz, Jim Evans, and Dick
Hamann.
Faculty members who helped
out were Mr. Rockenbach, Mr.
Walton, and Miss Evans.
