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.
The Hot Lion is published to inform the Capitol Campus
community of all activities on, or concerned with, the
Campus. Everyone should feel free to use this service by
completing the entry cards available in the Student Affairs
Office [WlO5]. Deadline is Thursday Noon, the week prior
to date of publication.
