February 19, 1976 Spring Rite Tax Bite (CPS)-Taxation even with representation can be tyran ny as many people are discovering again this wint er. To get those tax refunds in plenty of time for spring frolics, wage-earners must first do a mad scramble with forms, instructions and tables. Students are not exempt from this annual rite. Even students under 21 years who have a gross income of at least $2350 or have any other unearned income (like int erest on savings accounts) must file returns. Smart taxpayers will file their returns in January and early February when refunds will be mailed in four to five weeks. Procrastinators who file just before the April 15 deadline might be waiting two or three months for their refunds. New tax laws passed in 1975 mean slightly less tax for many people. The standard, deduction has increased from 15% to 16%. Also, the low-income allow ance has been raised from $lO,OOO to $15,000. Students who have worked on and off for the year can take the standard deduction and in many cases, so can their parents. If the student is over 19 years old, ws a full-time student for five months of the year, both students and parents can claim him as a deduction. if you didn’t have an income tax form sent directly to you, contact the state or federal revenue office. Ask for a short form, 1040 A, if you have an income less than $15,000 or earned less interest than $4OO. It’s simpler and can sometimes save the taxpayer money. Chief Paul Suggests Turning Off In conjunction with the efforts of The Executive Energy Conservation Com mittee at the University, Chief Paul of the Dept, of Safety, Security Police re quests that all members of the staff, faculty and student body make every effort to conserve on energy in the form of heat and electricity. Chief Paul stated he learned from reports from his patrols, that lights are left burning in unoccupied classrooms and other areas in the Main Building, and it is not until midnight or later that these lights can be turned off by the Security Police. If the last person out of the room or area would just turn off the lights, a fantastic saving in resources could be realized. Another savings can be easily realized if occupants of rooms and houses would be careful about open doors and/or windows when the heat is turned up and if Meade Heights would please extinguish their night lights outside their houses, some noted to be burning for 24 hours.
