Sounds of music return
to West Halls this week
By KAREN NAGLE
Collegian Staff Writer
West Halls Radio may return to the
air this week because of the recent
election of last year's West Halls
Residence Association president to
general manager of the station, the
current WHRA president said Fri
day.
Christy Briggs said the election of
Steve Diano . last Thursday by West
Halls Radio Organization - - will ease
relations between WHRA, which
owns the station equipment, and the
newly formed radio organization,
which has exclusive operating rights
to the station.
WHRA and WHRO may take some
temporary measures to open the sta
tion this week, such as broadcasting
.WQWK through West Halls, she said.
Later, when the radio station is
operating normally again with its
own disc jockeys, WHRA will proba
bly insist that "top 40" music be
played when a lot of students are in
the dining halls, Briggs said. She said
a recent poll of West Halls residents
indicates they prefer "top 90" music.
WHRA and WHRO have been at
odds for several weeks. The dispute
stems from the Feb, 28 closing of the
station by then WHRA President Di
ano because two turntables used to
broadcast were stolen. At that time,
WHRA had operating rights to the
station
The chief engineer of the station,
Reginald Arford, under the impres
sion the station was to be closed on a
permanant basis, then formed WHRO
to get the station back on the air,
Arford said.
In a March.2B article in The Daily
Collegian, Joe Schaper', Undergrad
uate Student Government Supreme
Court Justice, said the court gave
operating rights to WHRO after the
justices saw a letter written by Diano
that said the station had been cloSed
"indefinitely." The court understood
"indefinitely" to mean on a perma-.
nant basis, he said.
Because WHRO has operating
rights but no equipment, and WHRA
has the equipment but no operating
rights, the two organizations need to
work together to re-open the station,
Schaper said.
However, until the election of Diano
to general manager, the two organi
zafions have not been able to work
together, Briggs said.
She said Arford lost the trust of the
council when he formed WHRO with
out WHRA's knowledge. As a result, 1,
council members have been reluctant
to work with Arford, she said.
Diano said the important thing for
WHRO now is to get funding from
Associated Student Activities, so that
it can operate the station normally.
Government offers cheaters the chance to pay up
By SALLY JACOBSEN
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON Conscience both
ering you, only a week after the
income tax deadline? Can't forget
about that little item you kept from
Army days? Want to help reduce that
monster budget deficit? Or just
grateful to be living in the United
States?
If so, the government has a special
place for you and your money.
The Treasury Department's bu
reau of government financial opera
tions handles four special accounts
for Americans who want to contribute
something extra to the government
or want to clear their conscience
about something they should or
shouldn't have done.
The oldest of the four is the .Con
science Fund, set up in 1811 when
"somebody sent us $5," William E.
Douglas, commissioner of the finan
cial operations bureau, recounted in a
recent interview.
Before the year was out, the gov
ernment had added $250 to its coffers
from people troubled by their con
science.
Since then, the fund has collected a
total of $4,814,352.94. Douglas said the
biggest sum sent in was 'about $139,-
000 in 1950, when the account also
received the most in one year,
$370,285.47.
Last year, it got $238,069.23. The
money goes into the general coffers
for running the government.
Douglas said the reasons people
send in "conscience" money vary,
but most "have to do with the feeling
that they have done something they
shouldn't have done or should have
done regarding the country or gov
ernment very broadly."

"The theme that runs through is
remorse," he said.
One man confessed he had "misap
propriated" a $5 pair of bathing
trunks from the military. Two de
cades later, he sent the government
$13.85 to cover the cost of the swim
suit plus interest, compounded
monthly, at 4.5 percent for 16 years
and 10 percent for three.
Another apologized for "waiting so
long to 'right' " his mistake and sent
money to cover a couple of machetes
and staple guns kept from his mili
tary days. A third ex-serviceman was
bothered by the $lO to $2O payout he
got several times from cheating a
pinball machine. •
one writer. Admitted "intentional
ly" burning two $5O bills a few years
earlier. "I am sending over $lOO to
reimburse my mistake. I should not
have done it," said the letter.
And a letter addressed to the "tax
collectors" wanted "to get something
straightened out with ya 'll before I
can ( be) with the Lord Jesus." The
writer's failing: Not reporting tip
income to the Internal Revenue Serv
ice.
While the Conscience Fund is the
oldest of the special accounts, the
fund to reduce the public debt may be
better known because IRS Commis
sioner Roscoe Egger included a mes
sage inviting such contributions with
this year's tax returns. He noted that
such gifts are tax-deductible..
Through April 13, the IRS said, 1,-
705 of this year's returns included
checks totaling $217,189 to wash away
some of the $1.4 trillion-plus in red
ink. The smallest contribution so far:
one cent. The biggest: $40,000.
Last year, the debt-reduction fund
got $911,179.45, bringing the total to
$7,058,912.16 since its start in the
sth overall
Love,
early 19605.
The biggest account is Gifts to the
United States, said Douglas.
Since its inception in 1843, it has
received donations of $53,017,030.29,
many from people who express pride
and gratitude to the United States,
Douglas said.
One contributor told the Treasury
he had "prospered a little this last
year and I would like to repay some of
the benefits I receive from my coun
try." Enclosed was a $325 check.
Another writer, who left Russia in
1906, sent $35,000. "With' me it is not
what the country will do for me, it is
what I can do for the country," he
explained in a letter to then-President
Jimmy Carter.
Some members of Congress unhap
py with their colleagues for voting
themselves pay raises have turned
over the extra salary to the govern
ment; where it has gone into the gift
account.
, Also returning money was a retiree
who said, "This money is from my
old-age pension, which I did not use so
am sending it back to you."
The newest, and smallest, of the
special accounts is the National De
fense Conditional Gift Fund, which
was opened in 1973 for donations
designated for the country's security.
One contributor, for example, sent
$2OO to do toward a tank.
Last year, the fund received
$54,872.97, bring the 10-year total to
$126,461.76.
For those interested in sending a
tle extra to the government, the
'dress is: Bureau of Government
rnaneial Operations, Treasury An
•x No. 1, Room 300, Washington,
.C. 20226.
Said Douglas: "Keep the cards and
tters coming." .
