The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 18, 1989 - Page 3 IRS braces the return rush DETROIT (AP) - Internal Revenue Ser- vice employees braced for a late evening and postal workers broke out rain gear to keep emptying the mailboxes as time ran out yes- terday for last-minute income tax filers. Some people thought last-minute fliers would be few because the normal April 15 tax deadline fell on Saturday this year and the deadline was extended to midnight last night. But human nature prevailed, said Steve Papineau, owner of the H&R Block branch office in Sault Ste. Marie. "We've had a lot of people buzzing around. It's pretty crazy here." "Eighty percent of our customers make appointments. But we've probably had a dozen people in here today without appoint- ments who just showed up," Papineau said. Filers still were scratching their heads and chewing their pencils, and the IRS continued to get calls for help. An early sampling showed operators an- swered 3,000 calls to the agency's toll-free lines in Detroit in two hours yesterday morn- ing, IRS spokesperson Elcy Maccani said. IRS workers in 22 walk-in assistance of- fices around the state were ready to stay and answer questions until the last taxpayer was helped, Maccani said. "And cheerfully, I might add." Greek premier files libel lawsuit against Time NEW YORK (AP) - Greek Premier An- dreas Papandreou filed a libel suit yesterday accusing Time magazine of defaming him in a story that suggested he took millions of dollars in payoffs, his American lawyer said. The lawsuit was announced here by lawyer Leonard Boudin, who said the lawsuit was filed in London because the story was more damaging abroad than in the United States. He conceded, however, that another factor was that it is easier for a public figure to make a case under English libel law than un- der American. The Time story, which concerned allega- tions of financial wrongdoing at a Greek bank that have rocked the Papandreou government since last fall, was on the cover of the maga- zine's March 13 international edition. A similar story ran in the U.S. edition, but it. was not the cover story. *The articles quoted former Greek bank president George Koskotas, who is jailed ini Massachusetts and fighting extradition to Greece, as saying he passed millions front he Bank of Crete to Papandreou and other figures. in the premier's Socialist government.

'Drunk driving convicts hear gggg accounts from accident victims BATTLE CREEK, Mich (AP) - On one side of the table were more than 30 people convicted of drunken pdriving. 'On the other side were five vic- tims of drunken drivers. The drunken drivers were ordered by the Calhoun County District Court to attend the first monthly session of the Victims Panel. The victims volunteered to tell their sto- ries, and as they talked, the drunken Speeh Continued from Page 1 to communicate," said Croxton. . Zorn has expressed that council mrembers generally share the same outlook on the policy and only small details remain to be ironed out. But the ideological divisions that tcaused the council to dissolve two years ago - over the student code 'of non-academic conduct - have not vanished with the group's reconvening. Instead, the council members have been more willing to put aside their differences in order to keep the council alive. The regents have threatened to disband the council if its members could not prove they were able to work productively. The members' differences are still J present, though heated debate is ab- sent from council meetings. Council member Julie Murray, an LSA sophomore, said she does not sup- port the policy. "The reason why I'm on 'U' Council is because it is the lesser of the two evils. Either the drivers listened. The first two victims, who all used first names only, described what it would be like for someone else to be a victim. Sue told of the last moments of her son's life.

"Once you start putting restrictions and guide- lines in place, you start losing peo- ple who would otherwise speak out," she said. Rackharn graduate student Corey Dolgan, a member of the council, said he thinks the CLB guidelines are flawed and his job is to "guarantee that any mechanism adopted to enforce the policy doesn't increase potential repression." With its last meeting of the semester scheduled for next Monday, the University Council continues to make progress towards drafting a statement to implement a speech policy that can be proposed to the regents. However, despite optimistic statements that council members are in general agreement, it appears that ideological divisions remain and will have to be confronted in the fall. and went out of control.
