Men 's Glee Club sings special notes for students'swmseet hearts lose $75 in pay monthly By MARK LANDIS University staff and teaching assistants are making about $75 less a month this year, because Congress ad- journed for its Christmas recess without re-enacting a law which makes tuition waivers non-taxable. The 1,700 graduate TAs only pay two- thirds of in-state tuition, and the University waives the other third as part of their contract. But now TAs must pay taxes on the tuition costs the University covers. THE GRADUATE EMPLOYEE Organization, which considers the tuition waiver one of the most impor- tant parts of the current contract, will fight the tax withholding, said GEO Vice President Jane Holzka. "Our lawyers advise us that the change in the withholding means that we can go in and bargain with the University again because (the tax) changes the terms of the contract;" she said. The union will hold a general mem- bership meeting tonight to decide what course of action to take. "WE DON'T WANT to renegotiate the whole contract.. but we would like to not see our members suffer so much," Holzka.said. The University believes that the tax withholding problem cannot be resolved by negotiations between the union and the University. "This is not between the GEO and the University," said Dan Gamble, manager of compensation and staff relations. "This is between the Federal government and the University as an employer." GAMBLE SAID HE hopes Congress will re-enact the law that makes the waiver non-taxable. "As soon as we find out that some kind of law has been passed, then we can get that money back in the hands of the students," he said. But for some graduate students, like English TA Chuck Wasserburg, the loss of that $75 is already being felt: "I have five dollars in my account, and I just got paid," Wasserburg said. By ANNE MANCOUR It's more expensive than a card, less fattening than a box of chocolates and guaranteed to bring a smile to your sweetheart's face on Valentine's Day. For $20 four members of the University's Men's Glee Club will put on their tuxedos and tails to deliver a rose and a song to your current flame. YESTERDAY, Glee Club members kicked off a four-day campaign to peddle their Valentine's Day services to studen- ts passing through the fishbowl. The men's group started the Valentine's Day serenades last year and made about 50 deliveries, said Glee Club business manager Douglas Bond. He said he expects the number to be higher this year. Last year "a surprising number of girls were requesting (the singing Valentines) for guys," Bond said. And several guys last year sent singing Valentines home to their moms, Bond said. For timid students who fear the quartet of tuxedo-clad singers would embarass their sweetheart, the Glee Club troops will also deliver a phone Valentines for only $5. Although last year Glee Club members tried to memorize personal love messages, the men will stick with standard favorites this'year such as "Let me Call you Sweetheart,." Memorizing different lyrics proved too difficult with the large number of orders, Bond said. Profits from the singing Valentines will be used to fund a Glee Club concert tour to Texas this Spring said Bond.

Italian Defense Minister Giovanni Spadolini said' yesterday he had or- dered Italy's military chiefs of staff to take "all necessary steps" for a gradual withdrawal. Panel debates cruise missiles in Holland (Continued from Page 1) nalist Michael Betzold. Bosscher's position was sharply criticized by Axelrod, a supporter of the Michigan Alliance for Disarmament. "EUROMISSILES have little to do with defense, deterrence, or peace," Axelrod said. "The purpose of the Per- shing, Cruise, the MX, and the Trident missiles is to win a nuclear exchange." Axelrod praised the Dutch peace movement for its opposition to the government's stance on Euromissiles. "Europe is unlucky enough to be a geographically good location for a first strike weapon. We should congratulate the Dutch for resisting U.S. efforts to deploy these weapons.". Blaker, a former deputy assistant to the secretary of defense, who is on sab- batical to teach a University class on international security, defended the U.S. actions saying, the Europeans wanted the deployment of Cruise missiles." Blaker said even if the Dutch did reject the missiles, he thinks deployment will continue in the other Western European countries, because it is unlikely to have any effect on the Soviet Union's continuing strategic ar- ms buildup.

State St. Suite 7/9 PO Box 4372 Ann Arbor, MI (313) 663-7779 48106 RA hopefuls compete for jobs (Continued from Page 1) Candidate Kevin Riley, an LSA sophomore, said he is excited about the chance to -become more involved with people, but he is also somewhat skep- tical about some applicants who want the position for "something to pad their resume with. " I'D LIKE to think I'm good RA material, but (the application procedure) is going to be tough. Mistakes are going to be made along the way," he said. For some RAs, the job has brought tensions and responsibilities they are happy to leave behind. "You instantly lose your private life, said LSA senior Lauren Wohl, an RA in Couzens. RAs must also try to strike the delicate balance between being both a friend and a disciplinarian to students on the hall. "YOU HAVE TO be the bad guy, and you don't want to be the bad guy," said LSA junior Laurie Clement, an RA in Couzens. Langer agrees that the .disciplinary side is "one of the weaker parts of the job - especially enforcing the drinking policy." But Engineering senior Elisa Mendel, a resident director at Bursley, has no regrets about her experiences as an RA. "I felt like I was putting something back into the University that I had got- ten out as a freshman," she said. Despite the large number of ap- plicants who apply for the spots, the Housing Office is also advertising the openings outside the state this year. "We've already gotten 27 postcards back from 12 different states, and we're very pleased with that," Coady said. "We'd like to bring in new blood and bring in a lot of new ideas." The application deadline for resident advisors is Feb. 16. Correction A letter endorsed by the Michigan Student Assembly Tuesday night criticized the University's proposed student code for non-academic conduct. The lead paragraph to an article that appeared in yesterday's Daily may have mis-led some readers to believe that the letter attacked the idea of a code for student non-academic conduct rather than the University's specific proposal.
