TAXES! Two weeks ago I received my honorarium which was supposed' to be a "gift" granted by the college for services rendered. I noticed that out of the 300.00 dollars agreed upon $40.30 was taken by assorted governmental agencies. Perhaps I would not have been so irate if I had been on student employment but the fact of the matter is that an honorium should not be taxed hmnsr. although mere pittance for the hours devoted, a line divides the justification between a "job" and an "honor." Did The College of Wooster give Jesse Jackson or Gene Siskel a check for their appearance with stale and federal tax removed? I thmk not. When we receive our scholarship money does the state take a portion? I thmk not. Then why does the college separate a leadership honor from mat of a public appearance? What we have here is a case of blatant discrimination. While several student organizations suffer from qualified leadership the college removes the carpet from under them. When it becomes more attractive to work Food Service than be editor of the campus newspaper something is terribly wrong. When Resident Assistants receive the honor of having $2000.00 removed from their room and board where lies the equality? X Campus Council shorf retire the debate over where the CPS funding should come from because it appears the college is . going to pull the old disappearing act on faonorinms. It's not enough to do something for honor; people today want some kind of financial or material compensation. I would have thought that with a tuition increase we would have seen better financial planning. I forgot, it's only Wooster!
