Show THE THUNDERBIRD Japanese class is offered A key d.isi on Southern Utahs evening class schedule is Business Japanese, which will he taught on Wednesday evenings lrom r to 9 p.m. Courses will he offered in Beginning Business Japanese (BA Z'U) and Interniediate and Advjnced Business Japanese (BA 4 !2), nd will he taught hy Katsuva Igarashi and Andrea beginning Sept. 2o. The two most important langaugcs for North Americans to know are Spanish and Japanese, Nielson said. ici-o- Considering Japans position as one of the worlds top economic powers, Nielson said that knowledge of Japanese is invaluable to members of the business community. In fact, having Japanese on a resume would greatly enhance any business majors employment prospects, she noted. Nielson said the course will emphasize speaking and understanding spoken Japanese rather than a more formal language approach. The advance course will be taught on a tutorial basis. The courses also tie in with a significant recruiting effort in Japan that, if successful, will see a number of Japanese students on the Southern Utah University campus in the fall of 91. The result would also see English being taught as a second language at the university, Nielson said. Intensive summer programs in English and Japanese are also being planned that will house Japanese and American students together to accelerate learning. In addition to recruiting students for the program, others with a working knowledge of Japanese are being sought to help. Tuition for the classes, which will be taught in the Dixie Leavitt Business Building, room 103, is $150 plus books. Three credit hours will be given for successful completion of each of the classes. Registration should be completed at the Registrars Office as soon as possible. S&L collapse to be explored (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15) base and more bad debt. To offset this, said the SUSC professors, but high risk, many thrifts began to invest heavily in high-yiel- d junk bonds in an attempt to remain solvent. The current thrift crisis is evidence that many institutions have failed in this attempt, said Hillyard. Although the thrift crisis has received major attention, the authors also noted that many banks are potentially in trouble. Higher oil prices (resulting in high inflation), recession and war are all scenarios that could trigger a wave of bank failures, he said, and all three are currently looming ominously on the horizon. Bank failures have increased dramatically since 1980 which has put great pressure on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to continue to insure their institutions, some of which are technically insolvent. In 1989, 207 banks failed and another 121 had failed by the end of July 1990. At this time, the FDIC has only 70 cents in reserves for every $100 they insure. As conservatism has declined, abuses have grown, said Hillyard and Hamlin. In their paper, the SUSC professors say ultimate responsibility for this crisis must be borne by the federal regulatory authorities, which were both slow to act and not supported by Congress.
