Continued from page 1 TECH campus, supervisors will also be spending two afternoons a week there to make sure everything is running smoothly. If any problems arise that the west campus staff can't solve, they will be able to contact the main campus staff. "We're probably going to put in an interactive TV unit out there, so if there is a problem they can always call back to main campus and get help," Janz said. Though all the final details have not yet been decided upon, Janz said that west campus support would most likely be open during the afternoon and evenings because students will most likely be on main campus during the morning hours anyway. "I can say this: We are going to do it and we're going to start it next fall. There are some details we are kind of ironing out, and we've been talking to people to see best how to do it. I think it's a win-win for everyone involved," Janz said.

Gary Stern, president of Federal Bank in Minneapolis, spoke Thursday to students about how they can affect the country's financial problems. Much of the presentation given by Stern was based on information in his most recent book, "Too Big To Fail: The Hazards of Bank Bailouts," which he co-authored with Ron J. Feldman. The book gives recommendations and offers a positive approach to the current crisis that the U.S. economy is now facing. Stern said the most important thing that can be done to help today's economy is to bring reform and change, and evaluation of policies is one of the first things that should be done. He posed a question about why, if his reforms seem so effective, they have not been adopted. He spoke about both sides of this issue. One of the outcomes of the reform solutions he offered would be easier access to credit. Stern also said reforms may not have stopped the economic crisis, but could have prevented the extreme downfall that occurred in the past months. While Stern has a reform system in mind for the current economic crisis, he knows, as history has shown, reform will take time. For policy makers to bring the economy back to what it was, communication will be vital to the process. The economic crisis in the U.S. is not just an American problem; it affects the entire world.
