News brief
CPC to review
communication policy
The Campus Planning Committee
is holding a meeting today from 9:30
a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Knight Law
Center Presidential Lounge.
The meeting is a continuation of
the 2003 East Campus Development
Policy review, which began in Janu
ary. Today’s meeting will focus on the
updated communication section of
the policy document. It is the last sec
tion of the document to be reviewed.
Members of the CPC have
worked with Neighborhood Adviso
ry Groups to update the communi
cation section. The update clarifies
the long-range development policy
and outlines boundaries for areas
containing homes that must receive
written notice of development.
The CPC will also consider several
suggestions and comments made at
the Feb. 7 CPC meeting. According
to the planning office, these sugges
tions include a clarification of high
density residential/institutional areas,
a definition of appropriate parking
structures, a definition between
building maintenance and preserva
tion, a determination of zone changes
and a direct reference to the Sustain
able Development pattern.
After the committee finishes re
view of the policy they will be
asked to provide a recommenda
tion to University President Dave
Frohnmayer. Frohnmayer will then
present the policy to the City of Eu
gene for review. The policy can not
go into effect until it receives the
approval of the city.

Taxes
continued from page 1
and has been at the University for four
years. Tax professionals from the IRS
and accounting firms Moss Adams,
KPMG and Deloitte & Touche will as
sist the volunteers to ensure that
everyone receives accurate tax advice.
“We offer full tax service, 1040
forms, everything,” VITA coordina
tor Daniel Bayley said. “We do both
state and federal.”
Bayley, like most of the volunteers,
is an accounting student who is do
nating his time to gain experience.
“As accounting students, it helps
us a lot,” he said. “We like doing
this stuff. It’s career driven, and it
helps a lot with some of the class
es we have to take.”
Beta Alpha Psi is a coed honors
fraternity open to business, ac
counting and finance students who
have excelled in their studies.
“It’s an honors fraternity, so they
don’t just let everyone in,” Bayley
said. “It’s more of a club than a
fraternity.”
The group will offer additional clin
ics April 5 and April 12, also in Chiles
288. Participants should bring all rele
vant financial documents.
In addition to the Beta Alpha Psi
program, the Eugene Public Library
is hosting a tax program every Sat
urday through April 15, reference li
brarian liana Ferris said. The pro
gram is sponsored by AARP and is
designed for moderate- to low-in
come earners. Everyone is welcome
to attend the drop-in sessions, held
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the li
brary’s Singer Conference Room.
The University’s Office of Interna
tional Programs is offering a similar
program for the school’s interna
tional students.
“I think it’s intimidating to have
to deal with taxes in a different
country,” said Ginny Stark, director
of International Student and Schol
ar Services. “Most other countries
do taxes differently than we do.
They just take money out of pay
checks. Here, we do that, and we
have to file a report.”
OIP has workshops and drop-in
office hours to help international
students navigate the often-confus
ing details of the U.S. tax system.
“With the workshops, we try to
demonstrate how one would typically
file non-resident forms,” Stark said.
“Students can bring their W-2 forms
and other financial documents and
see how to complete them correctly.”
In most cases, international stu
dents file slightly different forms
than residents. Stark said an inter
national student filing a federal tax
return would complete a 1040 NR
EZ form rather than a 1040 EZ
form, and an Oregon form 40 N
rather than an Oregon form 40.
Most international students file
taxes only in the United States.
“Many countries have tax-exempt
treaties with the United States that
exempt low-level earners from do
mestic taxes,” Stark said. “Usually
earnings are not so high that they
have to pay elsewhere.”
OIP workshops for federal and
state non-resident taxes are Monday
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in 207 Chap
man and April 6 from 2 p.m. to 4
p.m. in 100 Willamette. Drop-in ses
sions for international students who
have completed their tax forms or
have minor questions are on April 8
from noon to 2 p.m. in the Metolius
and Owyhee rooms of the EMU,
April 11 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the
EMU Rogue Room and April 14 from
1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Metolius and
Owyhee rooms of the EMU.
