Chinese diplomat
praises exchange
The ambassador to the United States from the People
Republic of China praised Chinese-U.S. exchange pro
grams while addressing faculty and staff members and stu
dents Friday afternoon at a reception sponsored by the
UNL Department of Chemistry.
Chai Zemin, here at the invitation of NU President
Ronald Roskens, also toured the experimental farm at
Mead and some laboratories here on campus.
Speaking through his interpreter, Zhou Wenzhong,
Zemin said cultural, scientific and technological exchanges
have grown rapidly and satisfactory since China and the
United States normalized relations three years ago.
Zemin said more than 3,000 Chinese students are
studying at more than 300 universities in the United
States and instructors from both countries have participat
ed in exchange programs.
He said the exchanges, which have taken place in
virtually all fields, have been very fruitful. He said he
hoped that through the exchange programs, developments
useful to both countries will be realized.
"I am convinced there are many other things we would
like to learn from you. We will continue to send scholars
to your university, Zemin said. "Both sides can learn
from the other's strong points.
Zemin said the People's Republic has developed
exchange programs with about 30O American universities.
Zemin said he makes one or two "goodwill missions a
month to American universities to promote the exchange
programs.
Congressmen appear
at campus open forum
First Dist. Rep. Douglas Bereuter sponsored a fund
raising event in Lincoln this morning, although he has not
formally announced his bid for a third term in 1982.
However, Bereuter has filed forms with the Clerk of
the UJS. House of Representatives, which permit him to
raise funds for a re-election campaign, said Marge Hewitt,
Lincoln campaign office manager.
The Lincoln fund-raiser at the Hilton Hotel, featured
an appearance by Rep. Barber Conable, R-New York, who
was instrumental in revising the tax bill recently pass by
Congress, Hewitt said.
Conable is also the ranking Republican member of the
House Ways and Means Committee, she said.
After the Hilton event, both congressmen are schedul
ed to appear in an open forum at UNLs College of
Business Administration, Donald E. Pursell, director of
the Bureau of Business Research, said.
The presentation, to begin at 40:30 ajn. in the College
qf Business Administration third floor lounge, will include
discussion on the passage of the tax cut legislation, Pursell
said, but questions from the audience on any topic will be
received.
Insurance coverage
available for renters
Apartment or house tenants who don't have renter's
insurance are taking a risk with their belongings, said an
extension family economics specialist at UNL.
Kathy Prochaska-Cue suggested renters consider
tenant's or renter's insurance coverage to reduce that risk.
"If you rent, you have set up housekeeping and
probably own furniture, appliances, clothes and many
other valuable items,' she said. "Fire or theft could easily
cost you hundreds of dollars which you probably would
not be able to recover through your landlord's insurance,
Prochaskaue said.
The insurance a landlord has would cover his building,
but probably would not cover a tenant's personal belong
ings. "Landlord's insurance also would not cover your lia
bility to others such as injury or damage which you could
be held responsible for, she said. For example, a friend
could slip and fall in a person apartment, causing him to
lose his sight, and he could sue for thousands of dollars.
A special policy known as Tenant's Form is available to
meet the particular insurance needs of tenants, Prochaska
Cue said. Combining coverage for personal belongings and
liability to others, this insurance also will provide for
living expenses if a person is temporarily not able to
occupy his residence because of certain situations.
Prochaska-Cue said one could determine how much
insurance coverage was needed by making a hst of all
belongings, noting prices and dates of purchase if possible.
