JSX donates computers

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) donated on
Friday 36 personal computers to six private and state
universities in a move to facilitate the teaching-learning
process during the economic crisis.

JSX president Cyril Noerhadi symbolically handed over the
computers to the rectors of state-run Bandung Institute of
Technology; Brawijaya University of Malang, East Java; Diponegoro
University of Semarang, Central Java; and privately run Trisakti
University and the National Development University -- both in
Jakarta -- and the Yogyakarta-based Indonesian Islamic
University.

JSX also signed a memorandum of understanding with the
University of Indonesia's Institute of Economy and Social
Research to provide software which would enable students to learn
the art of stock trading.

Minister of Education Juwono Sudarsono, who attended the
ceremony, said the donation of the computers and software would
help socialize stock trading in the country. (gis)
