Clever cooperation: MSA should work with 'U' administration
Last weekend, the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library remained open for an additional two hours, beginning a new schedule more conducive to the late-night study habits of many University students. The library will remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, allowing more students to access the library's extensive resources and quiet study areas during what are, for many students, peak study hours. The success of the Michigan Student Assembly in achieving its goal on this issue sets a new precedent for communication and cooperation between University administration and students.
Tax burdens: IRS should allow case-by-case analysis
A recent ruling by the Internal Revenue Service may lighten the tax burden on university students across the nation. The ruling, Revenue Procedure 98-16, exempts university-employed students from paying the 7.65-percent Federal Insurance Contribution Act tax if the student takes six or more credits, regardless of the number of hours they work per week. Previously, only one credit was required for the students to be exempt from the tax, but students were limited to 20 hours of tax-exempt work per week.
Miller on Tap: Race issues and all their silly, related things
I'll be honest with you. I went to a Michigan Student Assembly meeting to make fun of the whole thing. I thought, rightly so, that a room full of parliamentary half-breeds with prom committee complexes would be interesting material for a column.
