Hie world was chocked weeks ego when a
South Korean airplane was ahot down over Soviet
territory, and 2C3 paceer.gcrs were killed. -
7hi!2' meat people overcame the shock and began
to speculate about the causes end consequences-,
severe thousand friends sad relatives cf the victims
grieved. To them, it was, more than sn international
polities! event; it was, and is, a personal tragedy.
Okon Hwan, a UNL student, is one of the grzevcrs.
Her former piano te acher died on Korean Air Lines
Flight 007, she said. ', .. .. , -
The hte Jur.g Ju Oh, professor of piano pedagogy
at Korea University, wa3 cn.her way to Seoul Sept. 1,
after having completed a trip to the United States.,
She had traveled to this country to help her son
move to an Ivy League university, Hwan said.
Hwan learned cf her friend and teacher's death a
few days after the incident, when her mother
phoned her from South Korea, she said. .
Hwan said she was very upset to hear the news,
because she considered her relationship with Oh
very special '.- ,:. '-...,:v
"She taught me to play the piano correctly. . .'
Because of this, I was able to get into Seoul National
, University, the beet music college in Korea," she said,
j Kvan, 23, said she owes her current position as a
first-year graduate student at UNL's School of
Music, in large part, to Oh.
"She was a great instructor very famous to
musicians throughout my country " Hwan said.
Hwan said she had known Oh for about five years,
and had studied with her for one year. In that time,
Oh and Hwan's mother had become close friends,
Hwan said. Hwan also knew Oh's two children.
Hwan saw Oh for the last time in Seoul at her
piano teacher's home. x
"I went to her home to thank her for all that she
had done for me. It was she who wrote my recom
mendation to thi3 university ," she said.
Her memory of Oh, whom she believes to have
been in her early 50s, is of "a really nice, warm and
moreover, a very beautiful woman."
Hwan, a musieology major, said she doesnt know
much about politics. She said she does not believe it
is her place to discuss the Soviet Union's actions and
their implications.
"I really don't want to think about that," she said.
She did say, however, that she believes Korea
. should take harsher measures against the U.S.S.R.
to make up for the suffering of so many people.
Hwan said she wa3 sad because she knows nothing
can ever make up for the death of Jung Ju Oh.
"I think she was the perfect woman. Her death is a
great loss to my country and to myself," she said.

In recent years public and private
institutions have placed great
emphasis on making buildings more
accessible to people with disabilities.
Most physical fitness and recreation
programs, however, have not yet been
modified to include those people.
To help integrate disabled indivi
duals into recreation programs, the
League of Human Dignity and the
Lincoln YWCA have developed a
workshop to aid various health-care
if tv a IS ! vf
eskting programs to.meet the needs of
the disabled.
The culmination- cf a year's work
and research, the first workshop was
presented Thursday and Friday at
Southeast Community College. ix
teen professionals attended the
workshop which included a series of
lectures, discssssier.s and . practical
exercises.
the league, said the project begin
because of complaints voiced by

Nancy Erickson, project coordi
nator for the league, explained the use
and misuse cf words and how they
a!Tect the attitudes of the disabled. She
said words like cripple, victim, af
flicted, suffers from, and vegetable
should never be used.
"A lot of disabled persons' problems
have to do with our attitudes toward
each other," she said. - , -
Erickson and McXeeman made their
comments during a panel discussion
Thursday dealing with disability
information and accessibility and
transportation problems.
After the panel discussion, the
group divided into sections to practice
disability simulation. Each person
either was blindfolded, had cotton
stuffed in his ears, or was confined to a
wheelchair.-'.
- - After being assigned a disability, the
groups wandered the halls cf the
college and tried to perform certain
social functions, such as going to the
bathroom, getting a drink cf wat er and
asiang a stranger tor r.c'p.
