"The disappointment isthat

much and we didn't get to it
enough and we didn't punish
their receivers enough."
Schembechler said. "You can't let
them lob those passes like that and
not be cracking them."
In the second half, the
Wolverine defense pulled the
trick it did last year. Michigan
held the Beavers scoreless despite
allowing 145 yards.
"I'm surprised we moved the
ball so well on Michigan," said
OSU head coach Dave Kragthorpe,
"but that's our nickel and dime
game. Today we felt good about
our kids."
Schembechler couldn't find as
much to feel good about.
"Our offense did not play well.
We had one guy botch up a' play
every time we snapped the 'ball,"
lamented the 18-year head coach.
"WE FUMBLED the ball, we
jumped offsides, we snapped the
ball early, we fumbled the
pitchout."
The Wolverine offense had
some bright -spots, however, as
Harbaugh completed 14 of 18
passes for 171 yards. The senior
signal caller threw two passes for
touchdowns and ran for another.
After Oregon State went ahead
3-0 on Marty Breen's 34-yard
field goal, the Wolverines came
back with a 59-yard drive and
scored on Harbaugh's nine-yard
pass to Gerald White at 8:52 of the
first quarter.

Federal tax code will modify 'U' finances

By TONY SHERMAN
The proposed reform of the federal tax
code will apparently affect the
University in several important ways,
including a reduction in alumni
donations, increased taxation of student
loans and scholarships, and gradually
decreased take-home pay for teaching
assistants.
The tax bill, which has passed a
House/Senate conference committee and
is likely to be approved by November,
would drastically reform the federal tax
system. The bi-partisian legislation
would shift the tax burden away from
individual Americans and place it onto
large corporations. It would also

eliminate loopholes that have reduced
taxes for corporations and richer
individuals.
SINCE THE University is a non-
profit institution and presently pays no
taxes, its tax status will not be altered.
But according to University
administrators and lusiness school
professors, Michigan will still lose
money due to reduced alumni.
contributions.
Officials could not cite direct loss
estimates because the bill remains in
draft form. They predicted, however, that
the University's losses could exceed $1
million.
The tax bill "is likely to reduce

enthusiasm in giving (alumni) gifts,"
said James Brinkerhoff, the University
chief financial officer. "It will affect a
substantial amount of gifts."
UNDER THE current tax system,
donors in the highest tax bracket, 50
percent, are able to deduct half of their
gifts to non-profit organizations like the-
University from their income taxes. The
proposed legislation would cut the highest
personal tax rate to 28 percent and would
tax donors at a higher rate. This would,
in effect, make the cost of giving more
expensive and would discourage gifts
from alumni who had given to obtain
deductions.
Gifts other than money, such as

artwork, land, and stocks and securities,
will be most directly affected, according
to Grant Clowery, an assistant professor
of accounting. 'Ihe new bill would reduce
the minimum tax rate to 15 percent and
will negatively affect philanthropists
who are likely to give property.
SOME PROFESSORS, though,
predicted that most alumni would
continue contributing to the University
regardless of tax rates. Accounting Prof.
James Wheeler compared this to
churchgoers who will always give to
their parish, even when their income is
lower.
Students will also 'be directly affected
if the tax bill becomes law. Under the
Univers

bill's proposed structure, interest on
student loans will no longer be tax
deductible, which would make the loans
more expensive.
Parents who begin to save for college
tuition when their children are young
will lose loopholes that currently exist in
"Clifford Trusts." These enable parents
to transfer money to children under 14,
decreasing the parents' tax payments due
to the children's lower tax bracket.
IN ADDITION, students on
scholarships that include room and
board, who presently pay no tax, will be
required to pay tax on the room and

SACUA issues sex statement

By MARTHA SEVETSON
A statement issued by the
Senate Advisory Committee on
University Affairs(SACUA)
condemns sexual relationships
between faculty and students,
even mutually consenting ones,
as "a basic violation of
professional ethics and
responsibility."
The statement, drafted on
April 2, was first presented at the
faculty Senate Assembly meeting
last week. The statement is an
informal policy agreement
among faculty and will not be
submitted to administrators for
approval.

THE UNIVERSITY had
previously only condemed sexual
relationships that resulted from a
faculty member harassing a
student. This policy was
enunciated in the Standard
Practice Guide-which regulates
faculty conduct- and a policy

SACUA members Dan
Moerman, an anthropology
professor, and Cheryl Easley, a
nursing professor who co-
authored the document, agreed
that a faculty-supported statement
was necessary.
"We're not setting forth a
policy that has sanctions
established," said Easley. "What
it gives us is a common ground of
expectations or ethics for the
faculty."

Police are investigating the
death of an Ann Arbor man who
was found behind the
University's ticket office at 1000
S. State street Saturday
morning, according to Sgt.
Allen Hartwig of the Ann Arbor
Police.
Edward Hershey, 25, a
medical researcher at the
University Hospital's radiology
department, apparently fell
almost 50 feet to his death.
Hartwig said a conduit pipe on
the side of the building was bent

and had been torn loose from the
brackets that held it in place.
HERSHEY WAS found by
another University employee
Saturday morning. According
to Hartwig, "it looked like the
right side of his head was
crushed."
"He apparently was trying to
move from one roof to the other,
or climbing a conduit pipe,"
Hartwig said.
It is not known why Hershey
was climbing the building.
