According to the IRS, many taxpayers who postpone their tax work until the closing days of filing season submit tax re turns containing mistakes which are apparently the result of hasty preparation. Such mistakes, including math errors, missing entries and unal lowable deductions, can often delay the processing of a return. For taxpayers expecting refunds, the delays caused by certain errors can set back receipt of the refund by several weeks. Each year the IRS urges tax payers to file early, but millions nevertheless wait until April to complete the annual task Unpaid loans NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (CH) - Rutgers University has reluctantly readmitted a student who avoided about $25,000 of loan obligations by declaring bankruptcy. The university had balked at accepting the student but a federal court had ordered it to do so. The university contemplated an appeal but decided not to pursue the case when the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare advised the institu tion that corrections of abuse of the student loan programs could be best handled administratively, rather than through the courts. One Rutgers administrator al so said "It would have been bad public relations to pursue the case," noting that the student involved is handicapped and a minority. Crime survey BOSTON, Mass.(CH) - If all 39 students in the current Crime in America class at Boston Col lege were to be punished to the full extent of the law for crimes they have committed they would spend an average of 15 years in prison and pay $10,335 in fines. This startling report was the result of a survey of class participants who admit ted to numerous crimes from littering to buying and selling drugs, from shoplifting to steal- ling articles worth over $50. The survey was taken to illus trate the pervasiveness of unde tected crime in American society and to demonstrate the inaccur acy of the FBI uniform crime report.
