Almost half of the college students responding to the Converse survey (49%) said they believe that America is probably not as good a place to live than when their parents were college students. Nearly one in three students said they are "pessimistic" about their future, either due to concern over the job market or the country's future. Most students (over 80%) said they intend to vote in the November elections and, according to the Converse survey, favor Bill Clinton over Republican Bob Dole by a margin of 47.7% to 33.9%. Ross Perot is favored by 8% of students. Among public issues that will be important in determining their vote, students responding in the Converse su r-vey cited education (47.7% of students).

The vast majority (74%) said they are at least equally patriotic as their parents. About 68% of the students say they are optimistic about the future, but a large proportion (32.2%) say they are pessimistic about what the futeure holds. Asked if they believe the U.S. is a better place to live then when their parents were college students, a slim majority (51.1%) said "yes," while 48.6% said "no." (The response was consistent for both genders.) Asked who they admire most in the world, students most often cited their parents. Almost one-fifth of students cited their father (18.4%) as the person they most admire, while 11.2 % cited their mother. Another 11.3% cited both parents.

New Tax Law Gives Refunds —news release Both employees and employers who participated in employer-provided educational assistance plans in 1995 or 1996 could be entitled to refunds. The new law reinstates exclusion of income of up to $5,250 of educational assistance benefits, retroactive to January 1,1995. However, the new law does not extend the tax benefit to graduate-level courses that begin after June 30, 1996. Employees who previously paid taxes on employer-provided educational assistance can now get refunds of federal income, social security and medicare taxes paid in 1995 and social security and medicare taxes paid in 1996. Employers can obtain refunds for social security, medicare and unemployment taxes that they withheld and paid on benefits that are now eligible for exclusion. Employees who paid income taxes for 1995 on excludable educational assistance benefits can claimthese refunds from the IRS by filing a Form 1040X, "Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return," if they have already filed a 1995 tax return. T do this, the employee needs to obtain from the employer a Form W-2c, "Statement of Corrected Income and Tax Amounts," showing the corrected wages for 1995, and needs to attach the FormW-2c to the Form 1040X. Taxpayers should print "IRC 127" in the top margin of Form 1040X. If this is the only adjustment to the original return, taxpayers will need to put only their name, address, social security number andtax year on the Form 1040X, sign the form andattach Form W-2c. IRS will compute the refund based on the Form W-2c data provided andwill process the amended return as quickly as possible. Some employees with a Form W-2c showing corrected income of $26,673 or less for 1995 may now qualify forthe Earned Income credit (EIC). These employees should read EIC insructions in their 1995 Form 1040 tax booklets or Publication 596, "Earned Income Credit", and if they qualify for EIC,also attach a completed Schedule EIC to the Form 1040X. (Employees who claimed the EIC on their 1995 taxretum do not need to complete another Schedule EIC.

Call our career center: 1-800-356-0552 November 5, 1996 • The Crier • 3 r Tutorial Section The Internet □ by Julia Duncan Here it is - column number two! We survived the first one with a minimum of mistakes and no rude comments. Within this article, I’ll try to teach those of you with few computer skills how to use Netscape. Understanding how the keyboard keys and the mouse are used is very important. After reading this, you should have no problem researching on the Internet. Well ok, you probably will have problems, but not because you don’t know how to use Netscape. In order to use Netscape, the first thing you need to do is go to one of the computer labs that has it. (Try the open lab on the bottom of the classrooms building.) Once you’re at a computer and have it turned on, doubleclick on the Netscape icon (it looks like a ship’s steering wheel.) If you can’t find it, ask someone. Now I should tell you what all the commands do, so that you’re not too confused. Along the top of the screen are square boxes marked back, forward, and home. There are other commands, but these three are the only ones you really need o know. Back will take you to your previous site. Clicking on it continuously will take you farther and farther back. The forward icon will take you forward after having used the back icon. Finally, the home icon will return you to the CCC home page. That’s the page that was loaded when you first got on Netscape. I almost forgot the most important box: the stop box. This will stop the loading of the current site. Underneath the square icons is a long white rectangle. This is where you type the Internet address of where you want to go. Also, it shows you the address of the site you happen to be on at the time. Under the white rectangle are some smaller rectangular boxes marked What's New, What’s Cool, etc... Each of these boxes do its own cool thing. What’s New will take you to a site containing links to some of the newer sites on the Net. Oh, for the internet illiterate, links are titles or boxes that take you to different sites. I’m sure you can guess what What’s Cool does - It takes you to a place that has all the cool sites of the Net as picked by the “Netscape Cool Team.” Now that sounds promising. I wonder if the members of the “Cool Team” all wear pocket protectors and carry laptops with them every where. Whoever they are, they do pick some good sites. Those are two places to check out if you have time to kill between classes. Another little rectangular box is marked Destinations. This I don’t find very interesting. It is basically a “showcase of Netscape technology.” If that appeals to you, then you can read its detailed description after you click on it. The Netsearch box will be the most helpful one for those of you that need to do research. This box gives you links to all of the best search engines (who ever thought to call them search engines?) Most of these work by typing in a keyword or topic. After clicking on the Netsearch box, you’ll find at the top of the new screen the main search engines Excite, Yahoo, Infoseek, Lycos, and Magellan. My personal favorites are Yahoo, Excite, and Infoseek. These three let you either type in a keyword or choose a category to begin the search with. Lower on the page you can find some of the more specialized search engines. For research, the electric library searches magazines, books, newspapers, and so on. Disinformation is a fun one that works like Yahoo and Excite. Four 11, Whowhere, and Bigfoot all search for people and e-mail addresses. Bigbook and On’village both search the Internet yellow pages. Bigbook seems easier. Shareware.com searches shareware archives for programs. And that sums up the better of the choices. The other boxes are marked people and software. People gives you access to people-oriented search engines, like Four 11. Software contains links to places where you can find Netscape software. Here is a quick little lesson on how to use Yahoo. In the address box (remember, it’s the long white box), type http://www.yahoo.com. (No period at the end of com). When it’s loaded in, you have the choice of using a keyword or a category. If you choose keyword, type your word or words into the white box on the Yahoo page and click on search. That will take you to another screen showing how many sites had your keyword in it, and it will begin to list your sites. You may be okay there or you may need to refine your search. To go to a site you’ve found, just click on the name. If you search by category, all you have to do is click on a category of interest. It will then give you a set of sub-categories. Click on the one you like best and the process will continue until it’s refined to a group of sites. Well, that’s all for now. Try it out and tell me how it works. Happy surfing!

Legal Ease —by Nicole Schultz You are driving through your neighborhood, when you suddenly spot a beautiful red bicycle atop the trash, set at the curb for pickup. You see that the bike has a broken chain and a bent handlebar but otherwise it is in good condition. Is it all right to take it home? The answer depends on if the bicycle has been abandoned. In order for a piece of personal property to be considered abandoned, it must have been left on purpose by the owner, who must not have any intention of claiming it. Steps that you can take in this instance: (1) Try to find out if someone living in a nearby building abandoned it. (2) If the first step proves futile, take the bicycle to the police station. Ask for a receipt, and if it remains unclaimed for the period provided by law, you can claim it. Edible Ideas -by L.A. Wilcox Welcome to the second recipe.

As the Secretary of Education for President Clinton, I face this challenge almost every day. That's why I'd like to take a moment of your time to tell you some of the things the Departent of Education has done for college students over the last four years, and what we have planned for the furture. In 1993, President Clinton signed the Student Loan Reform Act which created the Direct Student LoanProgram. Direct lending has made it possible for students to bypass the maze of big banks and middlemen they normally face and borrow money directly from the federal ge vemment through their student aid offfice. It uses a one page application form that reduces paperwork. It transfers funds to colleges and universities electronically so students don't have to wait in long lines to sign loan checks. And perhaps most significantly, it offers more flexible repayment options. We plan on continuing to make college more accessible and more affordable for students in the future. President Clinton's HOPE Scholarship plan is designed to make two years of higher education as universal as a high school education. To accomplish this, the HOPE Scholarship plan will give students a $ 1500 tax credit they can apply to their first year of college tuition. In their second year, if the students work hard, maintain a "B" average, and stay drug free, they can expect another $1500 tax credit. This would therefore, make a community college education free for the majority of students. The $1500 tax credit can also be applied to a more expensive foru-year institution. Additionally, theHOPE Scholarship tax credit is paid for in Prsident Clinton’s balances budget. Because parents and families of college aged children already face a great challenge in financing their children's education, we want to help them by allowing them to deduct up to $10,000 from their taxes for college tuition and expenses. Often, parents face the prospect of putting more than one child through college at a time. This tax deduction will help them meet that challenge. Again, this tax deduction is paid for in President Clinton's balanced budget. More and more, students are working during college to inance some or all of their tuition and expenses. We are working to expand the federal work-study program to allow more students to find better paying jobs. -News Release Effective to December 13,1996 Bring your valid CCC Student ID or Employee Badge to the Activities Office to get some great deals on the folloing Discount Passes: Movie: Catch a flick at Hoyt's Cinemas (Painted Post or Arnot Mall).

November 5, 1996 • The Crier • 5 Animals in Research, Dissection —Mr. Balcombe, Ph.D., News Release Approximately seven million vertebrate animals are killed each year for dissection in U.S. biology classrooms. To illustrate the magnitude of this many animals, consider that if you lined them all up end to end, they would stretch more than twice the length of California. What gains are made when students cut open and explore the insides of frogs and cats and fetal pigs and dogfish sharks? the Humane Society of the United states (HSUS) believes that whatever benefits might arise from dissections, thay are far outweighed by the associated costs. First, there is the animal suffering involved. Investigation intothe dissection trade have documented, among other abuses, cats being drowned ten at a time in burlap sacks or prodded roughly into crowded gas chambers, rats embalmed with formaldehyde while still living, dozens of live frogs piled into sacks for days or weeks without food, and sickly turtles kept in filthy, overcrowded holding tanks. These sorts of conditions appearto be quite commonplace, and thogh they are inexcusable and sometimes illega, they are perhaps not surprising in a business where the "merchandise" is going to end up dead anyway. Thenthere are human social concerns. A principal goal of life science education is to teach repect for life. Dissection is an intrinsically violent exercise; it involves killing, preserving, cutting apart, then discarding an animal. However well-intentioned an instructor's desire to teach respect for animals, the typical dissectionexercise will tend to undermine it by devaluing the lives of other creatures to the level of expendable objects. I have personally spoken with hundreds of bright, compassionate students who find dissection ethically repugnant; their response is sometimes to turn away from careers in such fields as human medicine, vererinary medicine.or nursing, where compassion is most needed. On the other hand, less sensitive students may be hardened by the exercise, the consequencesof which are opent to speculation. There is also quality of education to be considered. Teachers who continue to use animals in dissections or other invasive classroom exercises are apparently unaware of or unmoved by the fact that more than a dozen studies have been published showing that students using humane alternatives learn anatomy andphusiology as well as or better than students who use animals (The HSUS will provide an annotated list of ththese studies to anyone who requests it). Abundant resources are available for learning anatomy, physiology, genetics, toxicology, and other animal-related fields that do not require animals to suffer and/or die. These include films, computer simulations, models, books, or a trip to the local vererinary clinic. To anyone who simply cnanot bear the thought of dispensing with hands-on contact with a preserved animal, human cadavers offer the fullscale experience without the associated ethical problems (people are not killed for the purpose of dissection, and the patient voluntarily donates his/her body). Even the economice of dissection do not argue for its use. The HSUS recently did a cost comparison and foundthat, for all five species we looked at (shark, frog, rat, pig, cat), the cost of purcjhasing a broad range of alternative materiais was lower than that of purchasing animals to dissect. The HSUS, for instance, operates an Alternatives Loan Program that currently has over forty items available on a temporary, free-of-charge basis. finally, there is environmental protection. May of the animals harmed or killed for classroom use are caught in the wild. Populations of frogs and sharks, for instance, have been seriously declining in recent years. Moreover, the world need people who value environmental stewardship and compassion for life; dissection fosters neither. Perhaps there are a few fields, such as veterinary medicine, for which dissection is indispensable. But how ironic that healthy animals would be killed for students whose professional goal is to save lives and ease suffering. Conducting spay/neuter surgeries on animals from the animal shelters, and procuring deceased cats and dogs from their owners who sign a consent form are among the ethical ways that growing numbers of vet schools are procuring animals for their training programs. And as for the use of animals in medical school, consider that 27 of the nation's medical programs don't use animals in their curricula, and at all but one of the remaining schools the animal labs are optional. Using animals to ractice surgery has been illegal in England for more than 100 years. JonathanBalcombe, Ph.D.. is a biologist and AssociateDirector of Education, Animal Research Issues with the HSUS.

The monthly variable interest rate on the Campus Z-Station Loan is based upon the prime 4.25%. The prime rate is the rate of interest reported in the Wall Street Journal on the first business ■*-month. Any changes to such rate will take effect on the fifth business day each calendar month and effect until further changed. For example, the month of May 1996 had an interest rate of 12.50%. T1 7 year term with no pre-payment penalty. If you were to borrow $2,020.00 and maintained a constant of 12.50% during a 7 year repayment period, then your APR would be 14.59%, and your monthly payment be $36.22 for 84 months.

Can’t afford to save for retirement? The truth is, you can’t afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 30years or more. You’ll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: Set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 30 and you can accumulate over $172,109® by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you’ll have to budget $219 each month to reach the same goal. Even if you’re not counting the years to retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF to help you build the future you deserve-with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years. Over 1.8 million people in education and research put TIAA-CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning. Why not join them?
