COURT
From page 1
and the Law School.
The clinic is seeking volunteers
from all parts of the University to
translate for Spanish-speaking cli-
ents.
In April, Appleberry hopes to
respond to an influx of Spanish-
speaking clients by opening a sec-
ond clinic in Ypsilanti aimed at the
Spanish-speaking community.
The law students go over tax
documents and explain tax law
to the clients. The students then
contact the IRS and try to resolve
issues through informal negotia-
tion. If that fails, they pursue liti-
gation.
So far the clinic - open only by
appointment - hasn't had to go to
court.
Appleberry said the clinic offers
law students hands-on experi-
ence.
"It's a neat hybrid between a
classroom and a law office," Apple-
berry said.
In order to qualify for the
clinic's assistance, a client must
earn less than 250 percent of the
federal poverty guidelines - or a
maximum yearly income of about
$25,000 for one person - and have
a tax controversy case.
These cases could include
audits, disputes over the amount
owed or an inability to pay.
Appleberry said that finding
legal representation can be a major
problem for low-income citizens.
"This is true for general prac-
tice, as well as specialty practice
areas," she said. "Tax controversy
is certainly an area where there is
a need for representation."
Third-year law student Paul
DePasquale, who volunteers for
the clinic, agrees it is needed.
"A lot of people don't under-
stand their tax obligation and
responsibility, and the letters from
the IRS can be scary, so people put
them off, hoping the problem will
go away," he said.
None of the clients in the clin-
ic's six open cases are University
students, although Appleberry
said students are likely to qualify
on the basis of income.
But students are not necessarily
the target audience, second-year
law student Nosson Stoll said.
"Students typically do not
have a tax issue that arises from
an unexpected hardship such as
sudden unemployment or health
problems," he said in an e-mail
interview.
However, Mark Bailey, a sec-
ond-year graduate student in the
Ross School of Business, said the
clinic was agreat idea for students.
Bailey said that because he uses
the Earned Income Tax Credit - a
refundable credit for low-income
taxpayers - and has student loans,
his tax return would be more com-
plicated this year than in the past.
The Business School operates a
branch of Volunteers for Income
Tax Assistance, an IRS sponsored
program that trains volunteers to
prepare tax returns, in order to
help students with their returns.
The branch meets with clients
at the Ann Arbor Public Library on
Fridays and Saturdays by appoint-
ment only and is already close to
capacity for the rest of the tax sea-
son, site coordinator and Business
School senior Michael Donovan
said.
Like the Law School clinic, it
seeks to make people aware of
credits, such as the Earned Income
Tax Credit, that could help them
save money.
Volunteers for VITA are primar-
ily Business School students, but
some come from LSA. The IRS and
the Washtenaw County Earned
Income Tax Credit Coalition fund
the branch.
Donovan said the more free
information on tax matters made
available to the public, the better.
DAR
From page 1
tee, where he successfully lobbied
City Council for an ordinance that
pushed back the date before which
landlords could sign leases.
In winter 2006, Dar left his posi-
tion as the chair of International
Student Affairs Commission. The
following fall, he stepped down as
chair of the Executive Relations
Committee.
According to Yost, Dar wanted to
give others a chance to work on the
assembly.
Now Dar spends 15 hours a week
working behind the front desk in
the MSA office. He still finds time
to advise representatives.
In January, Dar was elected
executive director of the Associa-
tion for Big Ten Students, which
facilitates communication between
the student governments of Big Ten
schools.
Former Michigan Progressive
Party presidential candidate Rese
Fox, who was first elected to MSA
on the S4M, ticket gave a glowing
assessment of Dar.
"He's a great guy with a lot of
integrity," she said. "He cares a
lot about the result and not a lot
about getting his name in the
paper."
BARNARD
From page 1
the first black person to attend the
previously segregated University of
Georgia in 1961.
Barnard grew up in working-
class Romulus, Mich., a town that
is 30 percent black, but also a town
with few minorities from other
groups.
When she moved to Ann Arbor
for her freshman year of high
school, Barnard had a case of cul-
ture shock.
It was the first time she'd seen an
Asian American in person, she said.
She also said she wasn't prepared
for the significantly wealthier pop-
ulation of Ann Arbor.
"I was kind of a black sheep
when I came here," she said.
A lot of questions began running
through her head, she said.
"Why should I be treated dif-
ferently because my parents don't
make a lot of money?" she asked
herself.
She got involved with By Any
Means Necessary, a self-described
"militant" pro-affirmative action
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 - 7
group, when she was a high school
junior. The group helped her find
answers to some of the questions
she had about inequality, she said.
The same year, she became
involved in DAAP, helping out on
the MSA campaign.
With that experience under her
belt, she was ready to step right
in and work for MSA in her first
semester at the University.
Sometimes, though, she worries
that her party's platforms fall on
deaf ears in its uphill battle against
the heavily favored Michigan
Action Party.
"Everyone thinks we're a one-
point platform," she said about the
DAAP's emphasis on fighting for
affirmative action.
She said the partyisn't concerned
with "what new restaurants can
we bring to campus," but instead
attacking campus wide prejudice
and tackling issues for what she
feels can be a politically-minded
campus.
"If (University students) were
motivated to seethemselves aslead-
ers, they could definitely step up
and make a difference," she said.

to learn more and to expand your experi-
ence of the world. Therefore, take a

places you've never been before.
VIRGO

Now is the time to clean up areas
related to insurance matters, inheri-
tances, debt and taxes. Wrap up loose
ends. (You'll love yourself later for
doing this.)
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
For the next four weeks, the Sun will
be directly opposite your sign, making
you focus on close friendships and part-
nerships. You might get the feeling that
others oppose you now.

Your cash flow and how you earn and
spend money will capture your interest
in the next few weeks. Give serious

YOU BORN TODAY You have a log-
ical, intelligent, inquiring mind. You
want answers, and you're willing to
explore to search out what you seek. You
have a vivid imagination. Many of you
are multitalented. (Most of you are also
quite psychic.) You enjoy the arts, espe-
cially music and dance. Some major
changes could take place this year, per-
haps as significant as around 1998.
