Finance continued from p.1
If the bill is approved by the Finance Committee, Polack said, it will go before the Senate on Feb. 6.
TIM BOLLER, chairman of the Student Rights Committee, said the proposed bill should be reviewed by the Rights Committee before it goes to the Finance Committee.
"This would be a major change in Senate procedure," he said. "It is the Rights Committee's responsibility to review all proposed policy changes in Senate or University code. I use the getting this bill is trying to be rushed through the Senate."
He said he disapproved of the Finance Committee meeting being scheduled on the same night as the Senate meeting, which will be at 7 tonight, because senators probably wouldn't attend the Finance Committee meeting.
"This needs to air out a little," Boller said. "The Finance Committee is new. I think it's unwise to rapidly rush this by a single committee."
POLACK SAID THAT bills calling for policy changes normally would go before the Rights Committee. But because the proposed bill would be passed, it would go first to the Finance Committee.
"This is exclusively binding to the Finance Committee and so we're dealing with them first," he said. "If it does create problems then we'll talk with Rights."
More than $66,000 is annually distributed to non-revenue code groups, Polack said. He estimated that the first year of the proposed program would require about $100,000 — about $34,000 more than is now allocated to non-revenue code groups.

possible criminal violations. No criminal violations were found.
Mr. Meese violated the standards of conduct or other applicable statutes," said the Jan. 14 memorandum by staff attorneys F. Gary Davis and Nancy Feathers. Their conclusions were later overturned by David Meehan who heads the independent watchdog agency.
The 17-page memo said it became necessary to look into possible ethical violations after Jacob Stein, the special prosecutor who investigated Meese, announced that his inquiry had been limited to
All three lawyers were scheduled as opening witnesses today before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the second day of hearings considering Meese's confirmation as attorney general. Feathers and Martin Davis could not be reached for comment.
THE REPORT LOOKED into potential ethical violations in most issues covered by the Stein investigation.
It identified three separate ethics violations in connection with a $60,000 loan Meese received from his account.
Meese said during the hearing yesterday that the report was incorrect on that point, and that although his accountant, John Doyle, had taken the loan, the money did not come from him.
Under questioning, Meese acknowledged that he had reported in a public disclosure statement of his finances that the loan came Klean and did not alter his report for one year.
Students can benefit from taxing forms
Tax returns can be a headache, but most students don't earn enough money now to worry about them, the director of Legal Services said yesterday.
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
But Cynthia Weolk, the director, said many students would want to file a return this year to get back the taxes withheld from income earned from summer or part-time jobs.
Weolk said that employers must send or give W-2 forms to their employees by tomorrow. W-2 forms are yearly statements of earnings provided to help employees determine whether they need to file a tax return that year.
Week said that even if an employer failed to supply a W-2 form, the employee was obligated to file a return when required.
If an employee doesn't receive a W-2 form, Woekl ask, he or she should talk first to the
employer. If the employer refuses to provide the statement, the employee can file a complaint with the IRS office, she said.
WOELK SAID, "Often it is just a hang-ang about where you are. If you moved or worked temporarily, they just might not know where to mail it."
the W-2s are helpful, Woelk said, but they can have errors.
Employees should figure out their total income from all their earnings, interest and dividends and compare the figures with those on their W-2 statements, she said.
Students also should check the instruction booklet that comes with the txn form to find **b**.
For those students who must file a return and who have questions or need help, the KU accounting club sponsors a free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
BOB TAYLOR, St. Joseph, Mo, senior and president of the account club, said the board was looking for a new chair.
continue until April 15. The volunteers, usually undergraduate accounting or law students, have completed Business 609, Income Tax Accounting, or an IRS training program. The club most often assists low-income or elderly workers.
He said the VITA program would help anyone who came, but it relied on people to use their own discretion.
VITA services will be available at five locations in Lawson throughout the next three months.
"If they can do it themselves, we hope they will." Taylor said. "Otherwise we'll be swamped. Last year we were swamped with people who really needed help."
WOELK SAID Legal Services for Students also would answer questions about returns but would not complete or provide the forms.
Taylor said that students usually were aware of the requirements and didn't need much help anyway.
Peace continued from p. 1
The Peace Corps' ultimate goal is to work itself out of a job, McGirr said, hoping that after two years in an area, its people can take over their own food production.
"The 600 WILL go to 'get future Ethiopias,'" he said, "such as Malia, Niger, Mauritania, Zaire, African Republic. Those are the major African countries. The program is designed to meet food production needs in the drought areas of Africa."
self-sufficient. For that, he said, the Peace Corps sought skilled volunteers.
"We're looking for farm backgrounds and agricultural degrees," McGirr said. "But we also need related skills such as engineers for machinery projects, businesses and business for marketing goods."
McGirr said short-term relief was good, but wouldn't make the troubled countries
"We're looking for forestry backgrounds also. There's a problem in those countries bordering the Sahara desert with the desert taking over the forested areas. We want to turn back the desert and prevent soil erosion."
is long, taking about six months from the time of application to selection.
June Kautz, office manager for the University placement center, said there was still room on the schedule for applicants. Applicants must be 18 years old.
THE SCREENING process for volunteers
"The Peace Corps has asked us to have students fill out an application," Kautz said. "Students can come by and pick it up, fill it out and bring it with them to the interview."
McGirr will show an filmic film today at 4:30 p.m. in 4040 Wescow Hall. He will interview applicants tomorrow and Friday in 2238 Carruth O'Leary Hall.
