funding so far," says the University
of Washington's Marilyn Dunn. "But
if (the current tax proposal) goes
through, I expect to see some accel
erated gifts and some creative estate
planning (to take advantage of
current tax deductions while they
last.)"
The proposed changes come just
as more state schools are starting to
solicit contributions for the first time
in their histories.
Before the huge state and federal
education budget cuts of the eighties,
independent colleges used to be the
only ones who solicited contributions
aggressively.
The federal government alone has
cut about $17 billion from its edu
cation and social services budgets
since 1982.
To compensate, colleges would
have to improve their private fund
raising by 40 percent a year, the
American Association of Fund
Raising Counsel estimated in May.
"As , state0 legislators get more
unwilling to"adequately fund schools,
more state schools are looking
toward this kind of suppport," Dunn
explains.
As a result, "The line between the
publics and the privates has become
very faint. They're both drinking
from the government trough, and
they're both drinking from the
Hlint from page 1
have asked us to check into material
and inaccuracies used in college
classrooms."
Educators admit they are con
cerned about the potential problems
AI A could present, but they're not
ready to mount a major campaign
against the group until they see what
actually happens.
"I'm sure some isolated cases of
censorship and violations of aca
demic freedom will emerge,"says the
AAUP's Kurland. But colleges are
used to dealing with these kinds of
complaints all the time, so it's nothing
really new."
"Well keep our eyes on them," he
adds. "But at this point we're not
shaking in out boots at the prospect
of an army of conservative senior
citizens invading our classrooms."

private trough."
Private contributions now account
for around 2.7 percent of state
schools budgets and 9.2 percent to
private institutions budgets, and the
percentages are increasing, according
to the National Center for Education
Statistics.
Observers think three particular
tax changes would hurt them the
most.
The first effectively would dry up
contributions from younger alumni.
Under the new regulation, only
taxpayers who file iternized returns
could deduct contributions from
their taxable income.
"As of now, over 20 percent of our
alumni make contributions to the
college," Rutgers Newman reports.
"Many of those alums are younger,
and don't have that high an income
(that they would file itemized tax
returns). Because of that, the per
sonal, non-itemized deduction seems
very important to us," he says.
Newman believes a drop in "small"
contributions would affect corporate
contributions as well. "One of the
first things corporations ask us is
what our own people are doing. It
helps to be able to cite the high
percentage of-alumni who are con
tributing to the college."
The tax proposal also would make
donors liable for "capital gains" taxes
based on the current market value
of appreciated property, including
stocks, bonds and real estate.
Under current tax law, such prop
erties are assessed at their original
purchase price, often far lower than
their pesent value, Dunn said.
"Property that once cost hundreds
or thousands of dollars could be
worth millions," Dunn points out.
"Some people will no longer be able
to afford to make those kinds of large
donations."
And reducing the maximum per
sonal income tax from 50 percent to
35 percent would also inhibit college
fundraising, educators fear.
"In simplest terms, where it now
costs 50 cents to give us (non-profits)
a dollar, it might cost 65 cents to
give us a dollar," says Dick Piperno
of the Fund Raising Counsel.
But Washington's Dunn isn't so
sure. "For one thing, I continue to
believe that people make gifts

because they believe in the institu
tion, and not for a tax deduction.
For another thing, a reduced tax rate
means they (people in the highest tax
bracket) will have more money."
Most educators seem to like the
idea of tax reform, if not its present
incarnation.
As Erick Wentworth of the Coun
cil for the Support and Advancement
fo Education noted, "Even if a tax
reduction would reduce the dollar
volume of gifts, I don't think anyone
in the higher education community
is going to oppose lower taxes."
And it's unlikely Congress will ,
enact tax changes that would hurt
colleges severely, argues Arthur
.Kammerman of the Council for
Financial Aid to Education.
"We've gone through all this
Deiore, Kammerman !ay:. iw.
thing you should understand is that
laws affecting charitable contribu
tions affect churches, hospitals, and
social service organizations as well
as colleges and universities. That's
one hell of a lot of people, and they
can make an awful lot of noise."

more time to help students work with
the program," Graham added.
The PC-Write program carries its
own instructions; but, Graham said,
students may prefer to buy a manual
for the program. The Ram Shop will
be selling the manual for $12.50 this
fall.
PC-Write is already being used by
faculty at UNC-CH, and was taught
in last semester's comnuter science 4
class. This fall, 700 more students are
expected to learn the program in
computer, business and creative
writing courses.
Among the features of the PC
Write program are eight tutorial
screens, bold face and a variety of
editing actions, including delete,
insert and block movement of lines
and paragraphs.
The PC-Write program can put
footnotes at the end of the page or
end of text, and works with a mouse.
Microsoft Word will be kept for
students familiar with it, but students
new to word Drocessine programs
should start with PC-Write.
