Where's the
cash machine?
BY ANN VID-01 STAFFWRITER
Do you want a cash machine on campus?
Check-cashing privileges would still be avail-able,
but...a cash machine, all computerized and
simple, no writing necessary. Just punch the
correct buttons and it spews out crisp paper
money, or deposits the check you need deposited
NOW, or just reassures you that your register
balance is precise.
There are no cash machines on campus right
now, nor are there any even south of Sixth
Avenue. There have been several attempts by
-Northern to obtain one for our campus. Mike
Breitner, Director of Student Activities made an
attempt last year and was unsuccessful. This was
the subject of much discussion at the October 1
Student Senate meeting.
Norwest has made a proposal to put a cash
machine on campus, but NSU has to pay $1,180
per month. Northern would need approximately
2,700 transactions a month just to break even on
this agreement. First Bank would only charge
NSU $950 per month for a cash machine. At this
time, F&M bank had no formal proposal but
would not put a cash machine on campus if
another bank did.
It was remarked that perhaps Northern
shouldn't pay to have a cash machine on campus,
as it would benefit the bank to have more active
accounts. South Dakota State University was
lucky to have been in the middle of dueling
banking institutions. Their school has two cash
machines on campus, and are paid over a thou-sand
dollars per year just to have one of them
located there.
There is also talk of having a national chain of
cash machines set up on campus. They would be
eligible to use over 12 different types of cash
cards, including Cirrus and major credit cards.
There would be little or no cost to NSU with this
option, and there is the likelihood that more
students would benefit from this one machine.
While I think it would be fun to stir up a little
competition among the local banks, I realize it
would be somewhat difficult as Norwest Bank
serves 40 percent of Northern's students.
