machine... The House of Representatives and President Bush have set forth a $150 billion economic stimulus package to help stimulate the economy. The new plan was also a large priority in Monday’s State of the Union address and is now waiting to be passed by the Senate. However, many additions look to be made to the bill. The economic package was originally created by House Minor- ity Leader John Boehner (R- Ohio), Brad Michael Negulescu Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, World News Editor and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.).

I would just sit there in disbelief at how different the world was back when my grandma was my age.

John Carroll University administrators will have the job of trying to find an individual not only to replace Rombalski, but one who will continue to make the same progress. This position is vital to the maintenance of student develop- ment as this individual oversees all functions of this division and offers leadership, vision and creativity. The administration must invest time and effort into finding a replacement that embodies these characteristics that Rombalski displayed while holding the position. Since Rombalski accepted this position in 2002, major changes have been made at JCU. He has been involved with the campus master plan, the strategic plan and safety decisions. He cultivated relationships with administrators and students and has given significant attention to improving various aspects of the JCU community educationally, socially and spiritually. Also, Rombalski has given much awareness to safety concerns and ways to develop social awareness. Hiring an individual for the sole reason of fulfilling the posi- tion will not only impede growth of student affairs but will also Cartoon by Shane Gullette“ cause dissatisfaction among students.
