Cause For Assessment
Recent Communication
Students who have been won
dering about the . $1:50 tax on
their athletic book will have to
be satisfied with the fact that the
assessment was necessitated by a
recent ruling by the Internal
Revenue Department.
Prior to this, educational insti
tutions were exempt from having
students pay any tax on athletic
books. However, a recent com
munication to the College from
the Commissioner of the Eastern
Collegiate Conference revealed
that students would have to pay
the 20 per cent amusement tax on
the $7.50 cost of the athletic
book.
"The tax itself is not on the
College, since the institution is
exempt from such taxes. But, the
student must now pay taxes on
athletic tickets or books just as
he does on movie or other enter
tainment tickets," said the Col
lege Auditor.
