record against, ironically, the sameMansfield team, when he accumu lated41 points on February 9,1983.I His cumulative statistics are evenmore impressive. He has reached dou-ble figures in 93 of?95 games, and

"When Isaw him play in high school you couldtell he was a consistent shooter." fe*Indeed he was. W hile at BinghamtonNorth High School, Green scored over1,700 po ints in ju st three years.

Tax proposal getsmixed reactionsBy Naomi Romanchokf

A recently proposed tax codecould be devastating to highereducation if passed in itsoriginal form.Entitled, "Tax Reform forFairness/1 the proposed plancalls for changes in deduc-tions ^for charitable contribu-tions. In a ^college environ-ment, this proposal as* itpresently stands, could seem-ingly strain general alumnicontributions.Here at Mercyhurst College,it cou ld also have an impact onthe current Capital Campaignand the annual Phonathon.The Chronicle off HigherEducation expects that con-tributions could drop off asmuch as 27 percenWf the pro-posal is passed.But according tog GaryBukowski, director of alumnirelations and annual giving, "Itcou ld affect co l leges . Itdepends-on ninal passage ofthe bill.'1 Bukowski suspectsthatS special interest group s,lobbyists, and some of the ma-jor charities will band togetherin some action and the bill willnot get passed.i Bukowski ia lso thinks, thee x c hang i ng o f j o bs byTreasury Secretary, Donald T.Regan and White House Chiefof Staff, James Baker mightchange the situation. It ispresently unknown how Bakerfeels about the issue.He also said, that passageof theibill, "will make people

aware of advantages they havenow. Ones that they won'thave in 1986." | fOn a more positive note,Bukowski says that "noteveryone gives because of thetax advantage. They givebecause of the cau se."In terms of the presentCapital Campaign, CollegePresident, Dr. W i l l i am . P.Garvey feels it will have no af-fect. "By the time such a billw o u l d b e i m p l e m e n t e d ,clarified and compromised,our campaign will be substan-tially over."Dr. Garvey also commentsthat in 1986, the year the pro-posal would most likely takeaffect, if it is passed, "thatwould be the last year of thecampaign, a 'clean-up' yearwith mostly private giving."Most business and industrygifts would most likely bedonated in the early stages ofthe drive.The proposal also seeks totax tuition benefits given toc o l l e g e or u n i v e r s i t yemployees. Dr. Garvey sees noshort-term effect for this. Hereat Mercyhurst the first $5,000in costs is covered.Dr. Garvey feelslthat theidea of the new tax code andflat tax is, in gene ral, good. "Itis a bold and exciting step,with some revisions.""I t would be beneficial toboth indiv iduals and thego v e rnm e n t . " He ho pe sspecial interests are givenequal consideration. *

Resolutions areoften made to provide us with the inspiration to look downthe road with a positive attitude.As 1985 makes its debut, the college will strive forwardto set goals and accomplish them. In the midst of adecade, this academic institution will continue to Seizethe Opportunity. This new yearns only two weeks old. Yet, Mercyhursthas much to boast about aiready. This past week, seniorJohn Green, accomplished what was once thought an im-posssible feat. | M-Green has set Mercyhurst on the righ t foot for the year.By" scoring 2,000 poin ts during his collegiate career,Green has proved e small colleges like Mercyhurst havestudents w ill ing to overcome big challenges. IWhile Green is the epitome of achievement, he will notcease making strides forward. Congratulations John!February is highlighted with the annual Phonathon.Predictions ^ are not needed here . ; As alwa ys,!
