By Curtis R. Glenn
Optimist Staff
The Business Office now is enforc
ing the $200 check cashing limit a
limit that has been a policy since at
'least 1979 said Shirley Riley con-
jrotler.
Riley said that although it has
ticcn a written policy enforcement
became necessary because of an
increase in the number of students
with paychecks in excess of the
$200 limit.
S The increase in the amount of
paychecks was caused by the rise in
minimum wage to $4.20 per hour

Will be a lot more convenient than

However another student has a
different opinion of the new tutor-
ing facility.
Danny Johnson sophomore
finance major from Piano said "I
am indifferent because it will end
up being exactly like the LEC
except in a different place and the
LEC is simply a waste of time and
money because 1 can teach myself
better than they can."
she said.
The 45-ccnt raise in minimum
wage became effective April 1
Although the Business Office has
begun to enforce this policy Riley
said exceptions will be made
"We don't want this to be any
kind of hardship" she said. "We
just want to serve more students.
"If a student has a good reason
we're going to approve it" Riley
said.
Exceptions to this policy must be
approved through the vice president
for finance the assistant vice presi-
dent for finance or the
Comptroller's Office she said.

Report shows Texas taxes
tough on poor middle classy
By Jennifer Dixon
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) Texas
soaks the poor spares the rich and
forces middle-income families into
paying the lion's share of taxes for
stale services says a study released
Sunday.
An analysis by Citi7cns for Tax
Justice qip Ihp poorest workjng
families in Texas spend 17.1 per-
cent of their incomes on state taxes
while the richest spend just 3.1 per-
cent. Middle-income Texans pay
8.4 percent of their earnings on
sales excise and property taxes.
Only Washington state has a
higher tax rate on the poor 17.4
percent and only four other states
have lower taxes on the Wealthy
than Texas the report said.
Citizens for Tax Justice said the
problem in Texas deemed one of
its "Terrible Ten" is ovcr-rcilancc
on regressive sales and excise taxes
and the tack of a progressive pay-by-ability
income tax.
"It's soak the poor soak the
middle class and a great big wide
umbrella for the rich" said Bruce
Fisher research director for the
labor-bucked lobbying group.
"If Texas is ever going to have
enough money to fix its schools or
build more prisons .. or handle
basic services it's going to have to
look beyond the people with the
least money. Because you can't
squeeze money out of a stone when
there's a whole orchard that hasn't
been picked" he said.
Fisher said on income tax is also
more reliable as a source of state
income because once there's a
recession and spending falls rev-
enues also tumble.
That results in cuts to state ser-
vices just as unemployment lines

"Texas is like a handful of other
state governments: it turns the
screws on average families while
profitable corporations and rich
individuals aren't being asked to do
their part" said Robert S. Mcln-

Justice.

the study demonstrates the unfair-
ness in Texas' antiquated tax struc-
ture. As a result said Bullock press
secretary Rafc Greenlee the state
wrestles nearly every legislative
session to come up with cnouch
revenue. It now faces a $4.6 billion j

"An income tax would provide
enough revenue and a steady source
of revenue for state government to
operate" Greenlee said.
At the same time a new school
finance program is expected to
