Wilkins cuts groups’ funds By Dane Claussen Of th» Emtrtld ASUO Pres Rich Wilkins ve toed the entire Incidental Fee Committee allocations for two organizations Thursday, saying the groups had little relevance to University students Wilkins vetoed the entire al locations of $50 to the American Chemical Society chapter and $60 to the Cuba Study Group, explaining that the two are "new groups with very small utility to students and no track record whatsoever " They should come back (for funds) after a year of activity," he said Wilkins' vetoes can be over ridden by a vote of a least 5-2 by the Incidental Fee Committee "I'm disappointed — a little bit of money means an awful lot to a small group," said Tony Steen kolk, a member of the chemical society I don't think he's put nails in the coffin by doing that (veto)," he said However, the group would not be able to do some of the activities it wants to next year, he added Wilkins also slashed the Fo reign Student Organization, the MBA Association and the YW CA Cutting more than $700 from the FSO's $8,000 budget, Wil kins said he thinks the “IFC should not attempt to absorb costs which were previously on payback " “FSO has a very large budget even under the executive recommendations, and we feel that it is large enough, par ticularly in view of the likely de cline in foreign student enroll ment due to increased fees," he said The MBA Association received a cut of $180 from the IFC allocation of $480 for next year "This increase is much too generous in view of the com mittee's decision to fund IRSA (Industrial Relations Student Association) separately," Wil kins said "This program should cover more newsletter costs through a user fee " The cut will have a "pretty big" effect on the MBA As sociation, said MBA member Mandie Rush She called it a pretty big blow" on top of cuts already made, which will reduce the number of publications the group produces Rush said the IFC and ASUO have "gone a little overboard on us," despite "cracking down" on all newsletter-type publications Cutting almost $340 from the YWCA's budget of about $2,750, Wilkins balked at the substantial increase the IFC recommended "We accept the necessity of protecting important programs such as the YWCA from the worst of the fiscal realities fac ing us, but to give them a 13-percent increase while other important programs are being cut is unacceptable " "I think they're very intelligent and responsible vetoes." said IFC Chairer Karsten Rasmus sen Rasmussen said he would consider overriding the vetoes of the Cuba Study Group and American Chemical Society budgets but not the other three “It's really a matter if we should fund first year groups like that," he said He said he would discuss the two budgets with Wilkins and fellow IFC members Rasmussen said the IFC had voted to reconsider the FSO and YWCA budgets anyway. "Rich’s point is well-taken" on the MBA Association budget, he said Check that paycheck twice University employees who didn t hear about a change in the Internal Revenue Service s tax-exempt policy got a rude surprise this month — taxes ta ken out of their paychecks The payroll office sent a memo to all deans, department heads and payroll personnel in Fundraiser successful KWAX radio s semi-annual Friend raiser" fundraiser brought more than $22,000 in pledges from almost 940 people before it ended Tuesday morn ing, says Denny Guehler, the station s promotion and development director Guehler says it was originally predicted that the fundraiser would take at least nine days to raise $20,000 from 911 people While the fundraiser exceed ed its goals earlier than expect ed, Guehler says he's encouraged that almost 500 of those contributions were new The average pledge during the fundraiser — which was highlighted by several special programs — was $24, he says Guehler says the station, which plays mostly classical music, is pleased by the number of contributors and contribu tions considering the state of the economy "We definitely know we have strong support out there among listeners for what we re doing," he says.

People who hadn’t filed the W-4 form by Feb 15 had taxes taken out of their March pay checks — substantially reducing the size of some checks. ’’We've had people shocked when they found their taxes ta ken out," Heaton says Employees who have no tax liability for 1981 and expect to have none for 1982 are permit ted by law to claim exemption from withholding for federal and state income taxes W-4 forms are available at the payroll office on the first floor of Oregon Hall We try to satisfy you.
