Student exchange programs between
the Soviet Union and the United States
could suffer because the United States
has few students who study Russian,
according to a UNL professor.
The United States is not able to
make full use of exchanges because so
few students take and master foreign
languages, said Richard Lonsdale, act
ing Executive Dean for International
Affairs, director of the Institute for
International Studies, and professor of
geography at UNL.
"The expansion of cultural and stu
dent exchange has received a lot of
attention because of the summit,"
Lonsdale said. "But it is one thing to
talk about it and another to implement
it."
The study of Russian is particularly
uncommon in the United States, ac-
r-i .
cording to William d. Gibbon, protessor
of modern languages.
"The number of students who take
Russian in this country has been rela
tively small compared to Spanish, French
and German," Gibbon said. "I think
that will always be the case."

Chock thoso points:
o Am I stitl eligible for coverage under my parent's plan?
A. Is there an age limit? Most policies limit the age for
dependent coverage to age 23.
B. Are you thinking of marriage? Most policies exclude
a dependent after hofcccomes married
o Have I declared financial independence from
my parents by receiving financial aid, and no
longer eligible as a dependent under their plan?
o Would a medical emergency deplete funds
set aside for my education?
courses at UNL has remained steady
and has not increased because of the
November summit between Reagan and
Gorbachev, Gibbon said.
Lonsdale thinks the internationali
zation of the U.S. economy is causing
more interest in foreign languages and
international affairs. The United States
is coming more into contact with other
societies due to U.S.-based multi
national corporations and the U.S. mil
itary presence in the rest of the world.
"It is now thought that knowledge of
a foreign language can be useful pro
fessionally," Lonsdale said.
Lonsdale said there is still not enough
effort to understand the countries we
are having such an influence on. More
language courses and courses with an
international content should be offered
at the college-level and earlier.
Accomplished
UNL professor
dies of cancer
George A. Vidaver, 55, an accomp
lished UNL chemistry professor, died
last week, apparently of cancer.
Vidaver taught biochemistry and a
course in amino acids.
Robert Johnston, a UNL chemistry
professor, praised Vidaver for his work.
"He was a very stimulating teacher,"
Johnston said. "I don't know of anyone,
including several Nobel Prize winners,
that had the knowledge in molecular
biology that he did. He gave everything
he had to teaching and research, right
up until the time he died."
Johnston said Vidaver was one of the
pioneers in the field of membrane
transplantation. Vidaver published
several research papers on the subject
in scientific journals, and many of his
research projects will be continued by
his students, Johnston said.
Vidaver earned his doctorate in
chemistry from the University of Chi
cago in 1955. He taught at Northwest
ern University, the University of Wis
consin and Indiana University before
coming to UNL in 1965.
Vidaver is survived by his wife, Anne,
a UNL professor of plant pathology, son
Gordon, daughter Regina and brother
Rodney.
Memorials for Vidaver are to be sent
to the University of Nebraska Foundation.
