Central's Korean  Orphanage  Committee  was
just informed that the orphanage at Mun San,
Korea is in need of $2,459 immediately, due to a
debt incurred three years ago.
The debt came about in September of 1965
when Uh Byeong Sang, now 17 years old and in
the orphanage, was struck by the truck purchased
for the orphanage by the Central students during
past Korean Orphanage drives.
The bone in his left leg was shattered and as
of May 10, 1967 he had made four subsequent trips
to the hospital. The initial entry into the hospital
lasted six months.
Borrowed 200,000 Won
Corn Sow Song, director of the Mun San orphanage, borrowed 200,000 won (almost $2,000) in
November of 1965 to help pay the initial hospital
bill. He then took a number of loans which would
not draw interest, to build three buildings, hoping
that the rent from the leasing of these buildings
would, also help to pay for the boy's recovery
charges.
However, the profits from this did not adequately pay for the bill, and Song found himself
even deeper in debt.
In June of 1967, Song borrowed more money
to finally pay for the remainder of the hospital
bill, thus /> curtailing all connections with the
hospital. In order

to pay for the
June loan, Song
borrowed from
two  separate
sources   i n   November of 1967.
Subsequent
loans,  not  fully
known about by
the   committee,
brought the total
to at least 14, and
all 14 loans are
paying 10 per
cent interest.
Sixty per cent
of    the   $450
monthly support — -—
payments the
committee has sent in the past has helped to pay
off parts of the total debt, and the remainder has
supported the 83 hungry boys and girls at the
orphanage.
Open Meeting Called
Korean Orphanage Committee chairman
Pamela Sowton, Lapeer senior, has called a meeting of the committee and any interested students
and faculty members, for February 27 at 8 p.m.
in the Derrick Room of the UC.
George Blackburn, adviser to the committee
and Henry Han, professor of political science, plan
to attend. Han, a native of Korea, replaced Blackburn as adviser during his recent sabbatical leave.
At this meeting, the committee must make an
important decision. Should they continue to send
the $450 a month support or allot the entire $2,459
and discontinue the monthly allowance?
If the latter is elected, no further support would
be sent until possibly June, when the committee
would send one cheek for the entire summer, as
has been done in the past.
Miss Sowton was informed of the deficit by
Chong Su Chon, who has taught English at the
orphanage and is now studying on Central's campus, and she then related the problem to Blackburn.
Song, director of the orphanage, has informed
the committee that he is thinking of moving the
children throughout South Korea, due to the proximity of the home to the southern line of the DMZ.
The orphanage is only two miles from the DMZ.
line.
SSAC is sponsoring a dance in the spring with
donations going to the Korean Orphanage account,-
to be used next year. The Korean Orphanage
committee itself is planning a full scale membership drive in the spring.
