IRS Tax Motion
Draws Quick Fire
From CP8, Special Reports
WASHINGTON—The Internal Revenue Service’s proposal to elimi
nate all tax deductions where taxpayers Rain job advancement from
their educational expenses will be contested by several parties in
cludinR NDKA at public hearings.
The IRS suggested the new regulations on July 7 to tighten 1958
guidelines allowing taxpayers to deduct from their gross income all
"business expenses” leading to improvement of skills, regardless of
whether a degree, promotion or raise resulted. Business expenses
include educational expenses to improve skills and apply to me
chanics as well as teachers.
IRS issued the new regulations to prevent taxpayers, and teachers
in particular, from deducting more income from their taxes than the
1058 rules allowed. If instituted, the IRS rules would bar exemptions
for educational travel, including sabbaticals, and provide tax relief
only for expenses necessary for maintaining employment.
Congressional reaction to the IRS suggestion was immediate and
intense. Forty-five senators have introduced bills to bar the new
IRS rules, and the move has gained similar momentum in the House.
Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) has attached a teacher tax credit
Amazon Resident
Committee to Meet
A meeting of the newly-formed
Amazon Resident Committee has
been called for 7:30 p.m. today
in the Roosevelt Junior High
School cafeteria in order for the
group to organize a liaison body
with the University Housing of
fice and residents of the Amazon
Project.
The group was originally form
ed to register complaints with the
University Housing Office about
living conditions and disrupting
of privacy for making repairs to
the houses in the project.
Spencer Block, member of the
Committee, said that Director of
Married Student Housing John
Thorpe had met earlier with the
group and had recognized it as
■'beneficial to all concerned."
dim as a nacr to an unrelated
bill on taxes which is pending
before the Senate Finance Com
mittee. In the House, a bill spon
sored by Congresswoman Edith
Green (D-Oregon) is the first
measure for consideration before
the Ways and Means Commit
tee.
The Hartke amendment may
be in severe trouble because the
chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, Senator Russell Long
(D-La.), Democratic majority
whip, may pigeonhole the bill
if the Johnson administration
takes a stand against tax exemp
tions for teachers.

SU Board Sets Foundation
For 'All-Campus Sign'
By JAQI THOMPSON
KmrraJd Staff Writer
The Student Union Board pass
ed a resolution establishing a
standard, all-campus sign with a
permanent concrete base on the
lawn of the SU in its meeting
Wednesday.
The sign itself will not be per
manent, but will be constructed
to be put up or taken down in
five minutes. It will have an oil
cloth face which will be changed
for each event.
The sign will be the only one
allowed on the SU lawn, and in
accordance with SU policy, will
be available for all-campus events
only, such as Homecoming, Junior
Weekend, Dad’s Day, etc.
Also in accordance with pres
ent policy each group will need
the permission of the SU Board
to use this sign. A group could
then purchase—at cost from the
Board—a cut-to-size square of oil
cloth on which to paint their mes
sage in advance.
The sign will be placed so as
to be readable from "Hello Walk”
and 13th Avenue. The probable
size of its face will be four feet
by eight feet.
By the standard size, location
and construction of the sign, the
detraction from the aesthetic

beauty of the SU and lawn will
be kept to a minimum, the Board
feels.
Other campuses have already
established a Student Union lawn
sign of this nature, according to
Ken Scttlemier, who introduced
the resolution.
In other action the Board:
• Appointed Jeff Dorrah, Scott
Farleigh, Jim Stevens, and Kathy
Turnbull as members of the rec
reation council.
• Re-opened petitioning for
the chairmanships of the Per
sonnel and Movie Committees.
• Heard a report that space
in the SU basement now occupied
by a program of the Speech De
partment would not be available
for student activities office space,
since the Speech Department is
said to have a written contract
for space in a “fireproof build
ing.” Since the space it now oc
cupies is the only unoccupied
space in any of the buildings
considered “fireproof,” it is likely
to stay there. The Board may
look into the situation further,
and is considering asking for
space in the Agate Street offices.
