Yester- day at their monthly meeting the University's Board of Regents ex- tended their practice of billing graduate student assistants for the taxes - rather than withholding them from paychecks - through the fall term. And for now, students who do not pay the taxes won't receive hold credits or other penalties. THIS PRACTICE is the Uni- versity's temporary solution as it waits for Congress to decide whether to re-enact the student tax exemp- tions that expired last winter. But the waiting is almost over. If the exemptions are not rein- stated before Congress adjourns in October, said University Interim Provost Robert Holbrook, the Uni- versity will work with the GEO to find an internal solution to the tax problem. "We are looking with an eye to modify the contractual rela- tionship," Holbrook said. The 1750- member union will begin bargaining on a new contract this winter. Indeed, members of both the GEOC and University administration seem doubtful Congress will take action on the issue. "Realism suggests... people are simply unwilling to open up (the Tax Code) to amendments now," Holbrook said, although Uni- versity Vice President for Govern- ment Relations Richard Kennedy Rally Continued from Page 1 "In the last two years the Univer- sity has seen what organized student movements can do," Levy said. "And the administration is preparing its army and training it well." "To make major change, we must become more militant and more united in our struggle for an anti- racist and anti-sexist institution," she said. "Workers have the strength and the power to shut this university down." UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT James Duderstadt said security offi- cers were not deputized to repress campus protest but to help stop ris- ing incidents of campus crime. "The action taken has nothing to do with protest," he said. "Rather, the issue is crime on the Diag at 2 a.m. You can't use two deputized officers to control hundreds of protesters." "Bullshit!" said Michigan Student Assembly President Michael Phillips, an LSA senior. "Our statistics don't show it. There is nothing on our campus that calls for deputization. The Ann Arbor Police Department patrols the campus enough to keep the campus crime on an equal level of all campuses." Duderstadt said that, to his knowledge, "(We're) the only uni- versity in the country where there is not deputization or campus police." REGENT DEANE BAKER (R-Ann Arbor) instigated the policy changes at the May regents' meeting when he asked former Interim Uni- versity President Robben Fleming to propose a plan "to assure the peace- ful functioning of University schol- arly, and other, activities." stressed yesterday the strength of University's lobbying efforts Washington. Getting the GEO and administ tion to agree to the terms of an ternal solution, however, may difficult. GEO, working with its own t lawyer, has suggested two solutio One would redefine the tuit waiver as a fellowship or scholars to avoid its taxation. The ot would allow non-residents to p taxes only on in-state tuiti waivers. But the University, working w a different tax-lawyer, says neither these solutions would maket waivers tax-exempt. "Even if the waiver is conside a scholarship, if it's guaranteed the contract then it's considered t able compensation," Holbrook sa Similarly, granting residency to nc residents isalsoconsidered comp sation, he said. Counsel for the GEO wasu available for comment last night. Demetriades said the GEO w not accept the University's propo solution: to remove the tuit waiver from the union contract.I doing so, Holbrook said, the waiv would no longer be guaranteed co pensation, and thus considered n taxable.

Abortion ads may mislead LANSING - Commercials by the committe To End Tax-Funded Abortions are deliberately misleading and conceal the real agenda of anti- M. abortion crusaders, the League of Women Voters of Michigan complained yesterday. s. The 3,000-member organization, which never endorses candidates but some-times takes sides in referendum compaigns, takes issuewith the pro-Proposal A compaign primarily because of what the television commercials say and what the campaign isn't saying. The Committe To End Tax-Funded Abortions is trying to focus voter atten-tion on the issue of money rather than the real issue of abortion. An abortion typically costs the government little more than $300 compared to about $7,070 on a hospital delivery and the first two years of care for each baby born to a welfare mother.
