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.

Although Truffaut evokes the romantic nostalgia
before World War I, JULES AND JIM
exquisitely illuminates a modern woman.
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.

Nixon’s bombing halt
may be violated here
President Richard Nixon’s scrubbing, at least for the time
being, of aerial attacks on North Vietnam has not grounded
Charlie Porter’s bombing mission over Eugene.
Porter said Tuesday that he plans to go ahead with the
demonstration slated for noon Saturday. However, he added
that these are his own feelings and the final decision will be
reached at a 2 p.m. Thursday meeting in his office with the two
peace organization — Quit the War and Eugene Committee to
End the War — that he represents.
Present plans, according to Porter, include the dropping of
leaflets, from either a low flying aircraft or a helicopter, around
noon on Saturday. Scheduled targets are downtown Eugene and
Springfield, the University campus, LCC campus and
Congressman John Dellenback’s office at 14th and Pearl
Streets.
