The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com i 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. News tip? E-mail news@ michigandaily.com the michigan AVAIL.
