In addition to increasing the sales tax by 9 percent, Cain’s plan would put both corporate and individual income-tax rates at 9 percent, replacing the current progressive tax system, which requires people with higher incomes to pay more taxes, in theory. “If we don’t boost this economy, people coming out of college are going to be in a world of hurt,” Cain told The Daily Iowan in October. “Look at [my] economic growth and jobs plan because that repre- sents your economic future opportunities.” Natalie Ginty, the chair- woman of the Iowa Federa- tion of College Republi- cans, said even though the plan addresses the need to alter the country’s tax policy, it is “overly simplified.” “While our tax system does need to be simplified, and [Cain’s] plan will get rid of loopholes and make it fair for everyone, I think it’s too simplified,” she said. “I am not saying it’s the exact plan that I would want, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.” According to Johnson County family-income data from the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 50 percent of families in the county would see a decrease in federal taxes under Cain’s plan. About 6 percent of John- son County families bring in an annual income of more than $200,000, and for those families, the decrease in the federal-tax rate would be highest under Cain’s plan. “I think, for most people, the income tax will go down, and the increased sales tax would not make up the difference,” Gleason said. She noted Cain’s plan still allows for deductions based on charitable contri- butions, but it would eliminate standard deductions and personal exemptions. “That, I think, favors the rich,” she said. Cain’s plan would also eliminate payroll taxes, meaning employers can’t withhold any payments for Social Security and Medicare. But Anjali Singh, a UI graduate and tax account- ant, said eliminating the payroll tax would make funding Social Security and Medicare “difficult.” Ginty said older people who have been paying for these programs will continue to receive their benefits, but the younger generation would not have to enroll in “a system that is not sustainable.” In addition to altering tax rates for individuals and families, Cain’s plan

Though University of Iowa police said they are working to improve the HawkAlert system, the university keeps no records of previously issued alerts. And UI spokesman Tom Moore said there is no “operational need” to retain that data. “There is no regulatory requirement that the university track the issuance of these messages,” he wrote in an email. Moore said staff in the UI police dispatch center are responsible for sending the HawkAlert, but UI leaders also have that capability. Though there have been no changes since last December, Associate Direc- tor of UI police David Visin said UI police have been working to improve the HawkAlert system — which has been criticized in recent years for not issuing timely warnings. One way officials are trying to improve HawkAlert is by using social media. “Trying to use social media is better for the HawkAlert system,” Visin said. “That’s in the works, and it’s been in the works for a while. We’re always looking at how to improve the system.” DAILYIOWAN.COM Go online to read about Iowa City police question- ing whether this week’s HawkAlert was necessary at all: “We were investigating something that wasn’t on campus.”

Spread a little joy around, — Andrew R. Juhl wants to know: and enhance your reputation. What are you thankful for? TAURUS April 20-May 20 Don’t look for trouble. Meddling will only bring you grief. Put your energy into what you can achieve on your own. Explore, develop, and pursue ideas and plans you want to present in the future. Hard work will pay off.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Stick close to home and to the people you care about. Spending time making your place comfortable will benefit you and your family. Love is on the rise, and the reality of where you stand in a rela- tionship will be revealed.

CANCER June 21-July 22 What you can do for others will help you enhance your reputation and your chances of landing a better position. Your actions will be what counts when someone of importance tallies up the score. Do your best to satisfy others.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Your charm and diplomacy will bring you good fortune. How you handle the people you work with and for will determine what you can aspire to in the future. Networking will pay high dividends and help you stabilize your position with contractual commitments.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Your anxiety will be easy to detect. Being open will result in some difficulties, but it will also help you deal with a pending problem that has been slowing you down. Face the music, take care of your responsibilities, and prepare to move on.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Go where the action is. What you do for others or offer in knowledge and experience will bring you the same in return. Sharing and collaborating will help you get twice as much accomplished and allow you to mix and mingle with interesting people.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Don’t let your heart rule your head, especially when dealing with people you are trying to impress. Do your best to display your skills and talents rather than your thoughts and ideas. Tangible results will be what counts in the end.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Don’t allow anger to stop your progress. Get moving. Take action and show everyone what you are capable of. A change at home will lift your spirits and inspire you to strive for higher goals. Love is in the stars.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Size up your situation, and look over your personal papers. You may want to make some simple but effective changes that will help secure your home and family for the future. Changes to your living arrangements can benefit your overhead.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Don’t believe everything you hear. Find out firsthand, and stick to what you know is true. You can impress others and persuade them to see things your way. Diplomacy and honesty mixed with a little charm will help you get what you want.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Someone from your past will play a role in your future. Reach out and ask for help. A partnership, job, or friendship can develop because of a kind gesture that reunites you with a person heading in a similar direction.

By BEN SCHUFF [email protected]

The Iowa men’s basketball team has plenty of room for improvement. Head coach Fran McCaffery and his players would be the first to say so. But so far, the team’s offensive totals have been noteworthy. The Hawkeyes (2-0) scored 96 points in the season-opener against Chicago State and 95 against North Carolina A&T on Nov. 14. The 191 total points are the most an Iowa team has McCaffery scored in any two-game coach stretch since it put up 101 against Georgia State and 90 against Texas Southern in December 2006. That was the last season in which Iowa posted a winning record (17-14).

ARTS Greg Brown plays the Englert American folk music will take the stage at the Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St. Greg Brown, one of the country’s most well-known folk musicians, will bring his highly regard- ed musical talent to Iowa City at 8 p.m. Friday at the Englert. The musician uses his baritone voice and a tremendous sense of melody to create music that chronicles the everyday insights into life in the essence of classic American folk style. The Iowa native has recorded 24 studio albums, including his most recent, *Freak Flag*. Most of the album was crafted in Memphis, Tenn. *Freak Flag* was produced by one of Brown’s closest friends, Bo Ramsey, another famous local musician. The album is somewhat a family affair with tunes “borrowed” from wife Iris DeMent and daughter Pieta Brown, who are both members of the Iowa City music scene. — by Hannah Kramer
