' I Students may receive income tax filing help The Tax Advising Center (TAC) received an $850 budget recommendation at the Tuesday night meeting of the ASUO Fiscal Affairs Committee. The decision will go to the senate for final confirmation. TAC representatives told committee members that the money will be used for hiring accounting students to aid students in filling out income tax forms. Committee head Mike Marsh said he thought the request was recommended because it was estimated that about 2,000 students would benefit from TAC. The committee also recommended that Switch board receive $640 for phone costs. A Switchboard representative told members that Student Com munity Projects (SCP) had promised Switchboard to fund its phone costs for 10 months but had not done so. The proposed funding is intended to clear SCP’s obligation and to continue to fund Switch board till June. Chinese Student Association (CSA) President David Cheng received a loan recommendation to help finance a Chinese New Year’s Dinner Feb. 11. Cheng told members that he had expected to be funded by the Foreign Student Organization (FSO) but had been unable to do so because the funds of FSO had been frozen. Committee Chairman Mike Marsh said he thought the Chinese Student Association was “one of the most active student unions on campus,” and that they “deserve the money.” Isaiah Obot was recommended by the com mittee to receive $56 for transportation costs to enable him to attend a council on immigration and other topics relevant to the foreign student. The council is sponsored by the University of Washington. Obot said he will be representing all of the foreign students at the University at the council and will inform them of what happened when he returns. The National Student Lobby (NSL) received the committee’s recommendation that it receive $200. NSL lobbies for student interests in Washington DC. Hie Constitutional Committee received a recommendation for $200 to be spent on hiring typists. Constitutional Committee member Gene Cyrus said the committee served as a judicial body to arbitrate issues concerning the senate and the executive and to clear up problems concerning the ASUO constitution. Fiscal Committee Head Alike Marsh said the Constitutional Committee deserves the money because it serves the purpose of “keeping a check on the senate, and the executive.” At the close of the session an informal discussion was held in which Committee Chairman Alike Marsh said be would resign from the com mittee. He suggested to Senate President Cliff Zukin that he appoint long-time committee member Peggy O’Farrell chairer. Parents of student extorted Federal authorities joined State Police and local authorities in Ashland Tuesday in searching for three or four men who ex torted a large sum of money from the parents of a University senior. Sergeant George Winterfield of the Oregon State Police said that a man went to the home of George and Carol Felger Sunday night and asked to use the phone. When Felger opened the door several other men forced their way in. The men held the Felgers prisoners until Monday morning, when they ordered Felger to get a large amount of cash from the bank (identified by one source at $10,000). The men reportedly threatened to harm the Felger’s two daughters, one of whom attends the University. Neither of the girls were themselves threatened according to State Police. The couple was released unharmed Monday after payment of the amount demanded. An Ashland Police spokesman told the Emerald Wednesday that the search for the suspects was continuing.

Kathe, amoral and classically beautiful, loves two fraternal friends and must have them both - even if she must die to do so. For her, no com mitment is forever and only death is final. Joyously realized and vitally acted by Moreau, Werner, and Serre, the film established Truffaut as the leader of French New Wave directors.
