Chinese follow end of rainbow to America
Staff Reporter
By BONNIE DUNHAM
There is an American dream about a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and there is a Chinese belief that hard work and thrift hold hope for the future.
The dream and the belief join in the Chinese immigrant's expectations.
Some fulfill their expectations and others do not.
"There has been a kind of traditional romantic view of the U.S. among many Chinese. But the reality of life here may not be consistent with what they expected," said Professor of political science and co-director of the Center for East Asian Studies.
The romantic ideal of life in the United States goes much further into the past than modern movies, books and magazines. The U.S. tradition has been the most favorable of all western countries for more than a century. Lee said.
The attempts to come to the United States followed the exodus of millions of Chinese from mainland China in 1948 and 1949 after the civil war between Nationalist forces
soldiers at the border in addition to the 16,000 already guarding the area. They are now watching an area 15 miles larger. Not many people can escape now."
Four days earlier, the article said, the guards captured 1,000 people trying to cross the border in boats. Of those captured, many are returned to their homeland, but others begin new lives on the other side of China. People's Republic of China from Hong Kong.
The food budget for the Wyandotte County sheriff's department is $110,000 each year. The county has a surplus of $698,453.
The Wyandotte County sheriff's department spends $5.02 a day for food for their prisoners. This is more than twice the amount of fourthCounty counties spend for their prisoner's food.
Three area county jails vary in daily food budgets
A translation from the July 13 Ming Pao Daily News in San Francisco state, "The Ranch of the Rancher," was published.
"We have a full-time cook who prepares the meals at the jail," he said. "The cook is assisted by five trustees who serve the food to the prisoners."
under Ching Kai-shei and Communist forces led by Mao Tse Tung. Now legal exits from the People's Republic of China, though Mr. Xi has said that escapes have been cut back sharply.
"It is my impression that there is no organization to get out of China, but mainly individual members of families who may feel frustrated in their own area or
The Wyandotte county sheriff's department meets the federal guidelines, Filtowitz.
"All of our food is bought retail, except for just a few canned vegetables," he said. "I will always depend on you and depend on it, the money left over will be allocated to some other expense. Likewise, if we overpass our budget, money from the expense will be given to the food budget."
There are federal guidelines that must be met by the sheriff departments. One is that at least two meals must be served each day. The other is that set of at least 2,500 calories must be served.
The Douglas County sheriff's department allocates $4 a day for food for each prisoner. Included in the $4 are the cooks' wages, said Sherif Rex Johnson.
The Wyandotte County jail, which has an average of 60 prisoners a day, serves three meals a day. Many times, at least two meals are "hot." Filtwitz said.
Both cooks earn $7,000 a year, Johnson said, and out of the $4, each cook would pay $150.
"I have two cooks because heas
help use out doesn't work," Johnson
Before Johnson hired the cooks, his wife cooked for the prisoners.
"He put me in charge of handling all of the food," said Johnson's wife Shirley. "I cooked for about 15 prisoners a day. I cooked full-time from 1965 to 1969. At that time, we lived at the jail behind the courthouse. That also is where I cooked."
From Jan. 1, 1976 to the middle of March,
the sheffler's department was given $5 a day.
The department was given $10 a day.
"The prisoners were getting too much
she asked for $4 a day for it." Sheriff Johnson
The Douglas County Corrections Committee makes surprise visits to the jail to ensure that the prisoners are being adequately fed, Johnson said.
The Leavenworth County sheriff's department allocate $2.50 food for food to
"We have one cook and her wage is included in the $2.50," said Sheriff Terry Carlsen.
"We have a two-week rotating menu," Campbell said. "The meals are prepared in the kitchen at the jail and the cook is assisted by two trustees."
"Most of the prisoners probably eat better in jail than they do outside. Most think two people are better off."
Correspondence study may be the answer to the gas shortage for students who need just one or two more courses to complete their degree. The director of independent study said recently.
Correspondence courses help students save money
"Few people realize that in many cases they can go back to school to complete a degree requirement without actually having taken it," she said. "And take courses at home on their own time."
Students still are scheduled to drive to the
final exam. However, arrangements are usually made for it to be given in each of the three examinations.
Most of the correspondence courses are taught by the KU faculty members who conduct the course.
KANSAN On Campus
The only problem with the correspondence study program is that people are not aware it exists. Voth said. Kansas has a student program in the study program with its headquarters at KU.

During the past 30 years, Hong Kong has absorbed hundreds of thousands of refugee from Mainland China and has become one of the densest populated cities in the world.
Those who manage to cross the border into Hong Kong by land or sea can be classified as born refugee if it can be identified with a political or religious persecution if returned to China, according to Ron Brooks, deputy district director of immigration services in Hong Kong.

However, there is currently such a backlog of requests by refugees that the immigration service computer simply states that the category is not available.

He said the total allowable immigration quota for each fiscal year is 290,000 people from all over the world, unless the government has done with refreshes from Vietnam.
The U.S. immigration regulations are among the most complex in the world, with legal assistance, the opportunities also exist to penetrate legal barriers to immigration. In many large cities there are always who specialize in processing etas.

Wasserman said the limitation arose from an 'anti-black provision.'
Wasserman said he had successfully obtained visas for several people under the United States' visa program.
Chang is one of the few members of his family who speaks English, so he manages to get along well with them.
Heven Sye, a post-doctoral student in botany at KU from Taiwan said, "They work hard to have a very good material life, which is important when you have not had
Chang still works 14-16 hours a day in the restaurant seven days a week.
Robert Chang, 26, came to the United States from Hong Kong six and a half years ago because he said, "You get better living here."
Legal fees for bringing a relative to the United States vary between $500 and $3,000.
The "better life" often is filled with long old days, part of the Japanese tradition of longevity.
"It is definitely a better life for them here," he said. "It is better than Communist China."
The Chinese living in the United States also are faced with conflict between family and friends.
Sye said, 'Some Chinese never really understand why foreigners, as they call them, do some things. For example, Chinese parents often teach their children not to show off and keep what they know to themselves, not to boast.

"Chinese children in a classroom do not often raise their hands. Many Chinese do well in school and then they miss out on them, life that are not really related to grades."
According to traditional Chinese custom,
chang will remain in his parents' home
until he is an adult.
"The girl I marry will know ahead that family is first," he said, "but he will not allow his parents to choose a wife for him, ending one Chinese custom.
Every Month Chang sends money to his 95-year-old grandfather in China.
"My grandfather says he too old to leave China," he said. My father ask him and ask him. I know my father good son. He have my sister. In other son, so it my duty to send money."
"Life in China is better now. People there pretty hanv."
Often it may be the older Chinese person who has the most difficulty adjusting to the Western culture. The grandmother of Jack Low, Tongonxion, upset her neighbors in Salma, after she rearranged their flower bed and could look better according to her standards.
The grandmother assumed that, as the oldest person in the neighborhood, she had no need to worry about her health.
Jack Low, the family's first Americanborn son, said his parents still expected him to live at home and run the family restaurant even after he went to college.
Low, now an operations research analyst at Fort Leavenworth, said he felt his parents were now glad he did not take over the business. He said they understood the limited opportunities.
“Most of the Chinese of my parents’ generation are changing and wish their sons would get out of the restaurant business,” she said. “They don’t money, but they don’t see much future in it.”
All three of the Low family's American-born sons married non-Chinese women. Although they do not live with the parents, they have a family ties and follow many Chinese customs.
Tanya Low said, "When I married Jack I married a family."

“CIRCLE OF IRON”
After receiving degrees in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on the Chinese language, she said she was familiar with Chinese customs.
There are, however, problems which stem from different cultural backgrounds.
"Jack is extremely frugal," she said, "much beyond my expectations."
Eastern and western cultures are mixed in the Low home.
"When Jack's parents need us for any reason, be it terribly important or not so important, we are expected to make a great effort." We must cancel it, even at the last moment.
It cuts my freedom quite a bit. It is difficult to have a quarrel in the family situation or to get anything talked out because all the family takes sides with whatever Jack says since he is the oldest son and, perhaps, because he is male.
In the garden they raise American vegetables, but use a Chinese-style raised bed.
"We take off our shoes at the door," she said, "but our company does not because we don't make a big deal of it. The children, however, have crisis-crossed, sometimes taking them off at the door, then putting the shoes back on to run through the house."
"We eat hamburgers and hot dogs with rice. We eat rice almost daily. On vacations we might go to a Greek or French restaurant and then gravitate to Chinatown," she said.
Rather than finding the customs and close family ties oppressive, Tanya Low said, "The family just makes more people to love."
"The Chinese family members all have the rules set down so if they abide by the rules, it works well," she said. "Everybody has a place."
