THE US. CAPITOL -HAS A SERIOUS FAULT f RICHARD NIXON).

Welfare Boosted;

A Modern Robin Hood? We were discouraged by the actions of our modern-

day Illinois Robin Hood, Governor Richard Ogilvie, with h i s la tes t budget message.

Seeming to steal from the rich to give to- the poor, Ogilvie increased the welfare dole to an all-time high, while cut- ting the allotment to higher education one-third! And a t the same time,our erratic executive expounded on the in- equities and excesses of welfare in our state.

We agree to the need for aid to the disadvantagd; but do we really want to put a majori.ty of our money into wel- fare, when the net result seems to be increasing the num- ber of poor!

- There may be an increase of poor immigrating into 111-

inois; we know of many southern s ta tes that have what is called "greyhound welfare": $40 and a ticket to Chicago. But is this right?

I l l inois is having trouble taking care of i t s 0.m poor; can we continue to support poor from other states?: Espe- cially when higher education is being squeezed of neces- sary funds.

Such priorities should be questioned, in light of the fact that there is not enough money to go around. The pre- sent system of welfare, which has encouraged four gene- rations of poor to be subsidized by the government, should be changed. More emphasis should be given to those who wish to help themselves; and money should be concentrated in preparation programs, such a s Head Start and others .

However, we must stop rewarding those who just won't work, or won't h e l ~ themselves. And we must decide whe- ther we can continue to support the poor from other, more strict states. Unfortunately, this continuing dole, a s i t is considered by many tax-paying citizens, may eventually cause a taxpayers' revolution, a s overburdened middle- c l a s s citizens reject all forms of .aid to the poor, a s an over-reaction to injustices within the present sys tem .

And we feel that decreasing the budget of Higher Edu- cation while increasing highway funds and welfare, may alienate those who, have been the friends of welfare among the rich: ' the college students, instructors, and others in Academic circles.

We need to help old poor; but we cannot do this a t the expense of our system of education. As Lincoln said,"You cannot help the p o t by taking from the rich," and Illinois f ~ e - 9 h a s t e t if i t cu t s back .education t? increase an al- ready-inefficient welfare system--as well a s an uprising of those who are paying the bills.

IN DEFENSE

OF PARKING Much h a s been said about h e parking situation at SSU:

and we agree that the analhem& a t a supposedly ttinnovative" scfiod .is a regimented, UCLA type parking situation.

We are t d d gobbledegook about percentages and state matching funds and other bureaucratic nonsense--but it seems to u s just mother example of bad planning. Con- trary to what most ecological sensationalists say, the automobile is here to stay--and is a necessity to m y commuter college, especially one located out here in the barren cornfields.

The issue is not whether parking sbould b e allowed; but why reasonable, iapovative solutions to t h e problem have not been util ized I t reminds u s of the car d e a l s , who, after selling a cus toms a car, then informs him that a motor will cost him ex t ra

Parking is a s much a part of a commuter school as books o r classrooms; yet SSU seems to have the worst possible solution to this problem. . The parking l o t is poorly located and cheaply paved (?); the one-armed bandit guarding the lo t malfunctions more than it functions; and the entire system is one based on mistruct and authoritarianism. Why wasn't space left on both sides of the approach raods to SSU for free parking? Wby were all available spaces marked "no parking" so a l l would have to p i e the pay lot?

We term anyone a hypocrite who drives to SSU every day in an automobile to write material calling the fdthful f a 4 "the greatest medace to mankind and ecology." We don't s e e these people walking.

Even Cullom Davis, who a t l eas t tried ao practice some ecological conservation, had to abandon his bicycle due to rain and snow and dead of night here at Snow Storm U.

We believe that reason and action should replace ir- responsible rhetoric in the dealing with this program. We agree, and have signed the petition calling for an honor system to replace the present restrictive gates. We have also proposed that some of the hundred of acres which SSU owns, be developedby student labor and some funds into a parking area which is f r e e to students. White rock is cheap; and most truckers can "tailgatey' the material evenly enough to eliminate most spreading. ,And during this election year, probably either the incumbent street commissioner or the incumbent public proper commissioner would b e glad to donate s a n e machinery an?manpower to build a l o r ,

But then the university couldn't make any money in the parking business, which is what we think they are trying to do. !

We have not gotten a straight answer on why parking lots, l ike landscaping, classrooms and instructors are not included in the basic costs of the university and paid for, l ike land- scaping. classmorns and instructors* Parking lots: unlike instructors, do not cost the sam e (or more)each year. Once the lot is built and paved, maintenance costs are minimal (if the paving was right in the first place) and a well- paved lot can las t for ten to twenty years.

So we call for some imaginative thinking and action on the parking situation. No one, not even the most fwerent ecologists, is ready to walk or t & e the bus (which still pollutes t h e air) exculsively. The auto will b e around for quite a while, in one state or another, and we must prepare for it, in a way keeping with the rest of SSU.

A WAIT BUDGET (SPS) - San amon State

University o f t c i a~ s was waiting and watching to see what effect Governor Richard Ogilvie's 18.2% cut back in funds requested by the Board of Higher Education will have at the university.

Ogilvie has told the BHE to cut back from $859 million t o $672 million the budget requests from the s ta tes in stitutims of higher learning. Included in the BHE original budget was SSU's portion of some $5.7 million for the 1972 fiscal year. The BHE has already cut the original. SSU request of just over $6 million earlier in the year by some Sangamon $600,000. State acting

Vice President for Business Affairs, Asa Ruyle told SPS Thursday that i t wasn't clear exactly what effect the Governors s lashes would have on the SSU budget when it goes back from the Governors office to the BHE.

Ruyle did say that it was his "guess" i f the Ogilvie cuts do stick that the SSU budget would be further cut by about 7%.

The Governor a l s o sup- ported the BHE's proposed tuition hikes that would ra ise fout quarter full time stu& n t tuiaon by $136 per year a t Sangamon State, excluding the costs for student fees.

The tuition hike, recom- mended by the BHE t o take effect in September, h a s not been approved by the Board of Regents which is the governing body of Sangamon State, Illinois State, and Northern Illinois University.

PoliticaOl Activities Upset THE WORLD

NO GAS? Are you a nignt people? Did you ever try to buy gasoline

after midnite in this provincial l i t t le burg? What a hassle. If you are in the downtown area just forget i t There are few stations open after the Cinderella Hour.

Now, I know that the D-X Station at 6th & South Grand is opeh. And all o f the Clark S v e r 100 s ta t ions ,And, maybe, the Boaafide on Wabash Ave. sti l l stays open after 12 I haven't been out that way for a few daze tho.

However, I have no use for Hi-test and I am a poor improverished student/businessman. As such I must t a i e a bargain where I find it ,And believe me you brother, the El-Cheapo- Stations are always two to three cents a gallon lower in price than the major brands.

I suggest that in this day and age of the ubiquitous iron horseless carriage that the E l -Cheap gasoline source available m each quadrant of the city. , I am certain h e increase in business once the word got around would more than offset the headaches of the extra shift one nite a week.

I further suggest that all of these gasoline stops refrain from calling themsdves "service" stations until such time a s they can be d e p a d e d on to be open when a motorist needs gas.

I did notice, .tho that the s t a t i m s started dosing after the State Legislature imposed their ridicul a s "curfew" on the youth of the town. I really can't blame a business for closing down if i t is losing money. However, not a l l of those stations could have been losing money. Before you start writing letters, I will assure you that I know that the. only reason that YOU closed-do-yn at midnite is because YOU were losing money. But, somed'hih out there, there a r e at leas t one or two El-Cheapo's which were at least break- ing even if not making a few pennies.

-Realizing that return on- investment is foremost in the minds of small businessmen I suggest that while the R.O.I. on the Midnite shift might be small and might even b e nm- existent, that the good-will created will increase the day- time and evening business of the station.

Something that no one has done around here could a l so b e a boom to the motoring night owl. Bigger cit ies have whole stations which are coin operated. ,Why couldn't some enter- pdsing g a s stop operator put in a s e t of coin-op gas pumps and a Coin-op oil dispenser. .These could b e left operable all night, even tho a human attendant might not be on the premises.

I fully understand the high a i m e ra te objections to the above statements and suggestiaos , Proper security pre- cautions can be taken. ,If the station is open all night - h o l d y buttons are easily installed. And l e s s expensive, than losing the nigbt's receipts. If some forward looking business man puts in a Coin-op service I might suggest that he call Mike White of the Security CousuItants division of A-1 Lock S e H i c e ,They can bug the machines so hat any tampering will bring the minions of the law down about the heads and shoulders of the would b e burglars.

Have you ever aied to find an apartment in this town? Wow! I just don't think i t can be done ,There a re ,apartments going begging. ,But, the landlords want elorbitandy inflated rents for them. .For example. ,I went to look a t a 1 bedroom apartment the other day. I t was nothing to write home to mother about. A "Town House" with furniture I knew where everything was immediately because I had w a k e d on i t s twin brother in .another location. ,I t 's a new building. ,One of the 75% of the new apartments in town which were built fmm the same s e t of blue prints. 1 know what goes into those places. Believe me an honest rent, without furniture would be $100 per month. With furniture, considering the type of K-Mart Modern they are furnished in, $125-135. .But, you'll never find one for that price.

Anh selective? As you a l l know, I wear a beard. Land lords get a I m p of the beard and it's g o o d b e Charlie.. No matter that I have references from everyplace I've ever lived, including my .parent's No matter that I don't even own a T.V. and prefer to read rather than watch the one eyed monster. No matter that , I haven't thmwn a party, even a small one in over two years and don't plan to do s o in the foreseeable future. .No matter that I have a steady income, study hard and am. hardly ever home :No matter that I offer to paint and fix up the place on my own hook, out of my own pocket No matter that I stay in my apartments a minimum of two y e a r s (There's a reason. :I have so many books and a h e r junk that it takes me two years to recuperate from a move) No matter that I am easy on the furniture and quiet in my habi ts ,No sid! All that doesn't matter. , Just .one look a t the beard and Goodbye, Charlie!!!! And I'll sleep in the street before 1'11 shave.

Sanewhere there is a landlord who charges reasonable rents, isn't too nosy about his tenant's day to day private life, and has a vacant 1 or 2 bedroom furnished or unfurnished paranent with a shower in 6 e bathroom, on the first, second, o r third floor. 11 any of you ,hear of such a guy, l e t me know thm any of the SPECTRUM staff, or call me a t 523-2811 any time during the day and most evenings. ,If I'm not there please leave a message I'm ready to move now, tomorrow or the next day. Or any time that I can find a decent place with decent Grit.

Paper's Tax-Free Status 7.pr.y 7-OW

BY DAV E AIKEN WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) - As campus newspapers in- creasingly m i c e opinions on political topics, college administrators @ow increasing- l y concerned

Not just because what the paper says may be embarras- sing, but because there seems to b e a danger that if a student paper makes an editorial endorsement of a political candidate, the college might get in trouble with the In- ternal Revenue Service

It's un d ear so far, however, how real th i s danger i s The concern ar ises from language in section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which says that included in tax- exempt status are: ''Corpora- tions.. .organized exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary or educational purposes...no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, o r otherwise attempting, to in- tervene in (including the pub- lishing or distributing of state- m ents), any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office."

In the case of s ta te sup- ported student newspapers endorsing candidates, the college's tax position will probably not be affected State colleges are not covered by section 501 (c) (3, quoted above, but by section 115 (a) of the Code, which states: * t Gross income (i e. taxable income) does not include. .. income derived from any public utility or the exercise of any essential governmental func - tion and accming to a State. .." More simply, state-run enter- prises such a s colleges are exempt from federal tax.

If a newspaper which o p a - a tes a s an integral part of a state institution were to make a political endorsement, it seems there is li t t le the IRS could do. There is alot the s ta te legislature could do, however. That would seem to b e a much more real source of concern to college adminis- '

trators, and student editors. Student newspapers in

privately slpported colleges and universities could con- ceivably affect the institution's tax-exempt status.

Student newspapers finan- cially and editorially inde- pendaot of the college--for example, if the editorsaperate under a separate self-sup- porting corporation--are also not eligible for tax exempt s t atus if they endorse political candidates

Such is the case of the Columbia DAILY SP ECTATOR, which has been independent of Columbia University for several years. I t received tax-exempt status in 1966, and later made several editorial endorsements. 1RS regional investigators during their regular audit l a s t year sa id there had been vio- lations of the IRS regional investigators during their regular audit l a s t year sa id there had been violations o f the IRS Code, and moved to take away the paper's exemp- tio n.

The paper is fighting back. I t s lawyer will argue that provisions of the code should not b e applied to campus papers, which serve a pri- marily e& cationai function.

Those familiar with t a x law also note that the parenthe- tical ban on "publishing or distributing of statements" by tax-exempt organizations was inserted on the floor of tfie

the bills, said that they were MAIUJUANA designed t o help &b the violence on Illinois campus.

The bills ranged from granting administrators broad powers in sus ending students to an anti-viorent publications act.

With the exception of the anti-violent publications act, the bills were either past- poned for consideration, a referred t o a special sub- committee.

Speaking against the anti- violent publications ac t were a legal counsel from Southern Illinois University and a student from Sangamon State, Ted Downey.

It was pointed out by the legal counsel that the defmi- tion of persons was s o broad a s to cause technical legal complications. Downey, stated that t h e phrases declaring distribution of publications advocating violence w s 1 also to broad.

"The Chicago Tribune in reporting the Kent State shootings and t h e invasion of Cambodia contributed t o campus violence. Are we going to ban the sale of the Tribune?' sa id Downey.

What skill, or b i t of dexterity did you learn (or improve) while under the in- fluence of Marijuana? If you take Marijuana to escape fmm reality, has the drug made you any more able to cope with the world? (I mean in the sense of being able to solve your problems.) Did you ever experience any surge of extrem e emotion? If you were once in the hospital, did you a s k for a doctor who was 'enlightened' wi th Marijuana? Suppose you are on trial for murder or some ot her serious offense, would you want the following people under the influence of Mari- juana: your attorney, the State's attorney, the judge, the iury, o r how about the wit- n e s s e s on your behalf?

If you win write, I give you my wor d that if you sign your name to the letter, I will not di sclose your identity to anyone, not even i f I werg 'dananded to. Someone will ask - "How do I know that h e won't run to the IBI and the FBI with my signed letter?" Look, if you should ever write that letter to me, you'll hope I b ' t run to the police when any of you are under the influence of Marijuana, that you won't injure o r kill yourself-or even worse- someone else.

And so until next time, I'll leave you with the fol- lowing thought:
