FRONT Vol. 70 No. 39 FRIDAY, APRIL 14,. 1978 THAT TIME AGAIN — If you don't have the money to pay, still file. You could save yourself a big fine. Pay them now, or pay them later byRICKESKIL The April 17 income tax deadline is rapidly approaching and the Internal Revenue Service has strict penalties for not filing a return. Two separate penalties, the failure to file penalty and the failure to pay penalty, could apply to you if you fail to file. The largest penalty is the failure to file which is a 5 percent fine per month up to five months plus 6.5 percent compounded daily on the money owed. The failure to pay penalty is the lesser of the two. A 1 percent fine per month is tacked on to your taxes plus 6.5 percent interest compounded dailv. If you file but do not have the money to pay, you will be assessed only the latter charge. Jim Aguirre of the Internal Revenue Service seid. If you file but do not have the money to pay, you will be assessed only the latter charge, Jim Aguirre of the Internal Revenue Service said. Without the necessary paperwork to fill out your tax return, you can still file. An estimate must be made by the person filing the return and the estimate must be within 90 percent of the amount owed. If this is done then only 6.5 percent would be charged on the remaining money owed, Aguirre said. Amendments can be made to your tax return within three years. So if you have money coming you have three years to get it, Aguirre said. Any further questions can be answered by the Internal Revenue Service by calling this toll-free number: 800-732-1040. -acuity pay lags behind other schools by SUE TAYLOR Western's faculty is paid 6.7 ercent less than any of its ounterparts in comparable olleges and universities, Don- Cole, vice president for usiness and financial affairs, aid Tuesday. Although the faculty tenta-vely is asking for a 5 percent icrease for next year, its pay could fall even farther in comparison, he :ale (hind tided. Western's goal is to get to an equal level with the comparative institutions, Cole said. But if these schools raise their salaries more than 5 percent, Western could fall behind accordingly, Cole said. The comparison schools are located in California, Illinois, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana. The state has used them as a standard since the late 1950s, Cole said. Last year, Western was 12.9 percent behind these schools. A 10 percent increase still left Western 6.7 percent behind for this year. Western hasn't been equal compared to these schools since the mid-1960s. Western will submit its final salary request to the state legislature in September after the salary averages from the other colleges and universities are in, Cole said. If the salary averages are higher than 5 percent in these states, the increase might be raised accordingly. Disagreement arises over tenure decision by LAURIE DUNHAM Former Fairhaven Dean Joseph Bettis has received a recommendation for tenure from the university's top administrators, overruling a judgment by Fairhaven's Retention, Tenure and Promotion Committee. The committee had decided it did not have enough evidence of Bettis' teaching ability to make a positive recommendation for tenure at Fairhaven, committee chairman Annis Hovde said. "Fairhaven emphasizes teaching over and above everything else" when a tenure recommendation is considered, Hovde said. He said during Bettis' three years as dean of the college, he had hot taught enough classes to provide ample evidence of his qualifications. University President Paul Olscamp said he was displeased with the committee's action and added that "very rarely" does the administration overturn a department's recommendation. Olscamp said, however, "In both (Vice President for Academic Affairs) James Talbot's judgment and my own it was crystal clear that Bettis was in every respect qualified for a tenure position not only at Fairhaven but at any university in the country." Talbot said his decision to. recommend tenure was based primarily on Bettis' teaching record prior to his appointment as Fairhaven dean. "Being dean, he didn't have much of a chance to demonstrate he was doing a good job in teaching or research," Talbot said. Bettis has remained at Fairhaven as a faculty member since the appointment of a new dean in March. He said he will teach in the liberal studies department next year as part of the Fairhaven faculty rotation plan, implemented in the recent Fairhaven revisions. These revisions also instruct Fairhaven to review and clarify its criteria in determining tenure. Because of past differences between the Fairhaven faculty and Bettis, Frank Nugent of the psychology department was asked by Hovde to attend the committee meetings to ensure that the procedures were fol- Continued on page 8 Fine funds ethics class • by CINDY KAUFMAN Under an order from the Federal District Court in Oregon, the White Stag Manufacturing Corporation, Portland, is paying off part of a $300,000 fine for neglecting to pay import taxes properly by giving a $4,500 grant to the College of Business and Economics. The money from the fine will be used to fund a new, two year program in management training and business ethics. "This is a beautiful illustration of making the criminal make restitution to society," Robert Collier, College of Business and Economics dean, said Tuesday. Collier said he read about the fine in the Wall Street Journal. White Stag "forgot" to pay some of its import duties, he said, so it was fined $100,000 and was required to give $200,000 more to charity. "The minute I heard about it, I said, 'fine, we'll use the money to insure that management in the future has better ethics'," he said. Charities,' as defined in a news release from Collier's office, include corporations, organizations, and institutions whose work will benefit persons residing in the United States. Of 130 applications for grant money only seven were approved by an allocation committee. Of these, Western is the only recipient from Washington state, Collier said. "We sent in a whole collection" of bids for differing amounts of money, along with suggestions for its use here, Collier said. For the whole $200,000, Collier offered to endorse a chair in business ethics here. For $15,000 to $20,000, Collier said he could fill the library with books on the subject, etc. Collier said the new 'executive in residence' program would "bring experienced executives into the classroom to talk about social responsibilities and ethics with our business students." The Bureau of Faculty Research will co-sponsor the program, and John Moore of the business administration department will be its coordinator. Kenneth A. Wagner, supervising United States Probation officer of Seattle, will represent the probation office locally, monitoring the expenditure of the funds and the operation of the program. Other grant recipients are the Lions Sight Foundation, The Nature Conservency, The Living Opportunities, Ind. and the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, all of Oregon; the University of California at Los Angeles and several eastern cancer and research centers, Collier said.
