Show Tuesday, October 26, 1982 5 Prop 1 changes Utah tax structure Book drops aid students Political history demonstrates that an uninformed electorate usually rejects any proposals placed before on the voting ballot. This year there are four important propositions which will affect the constitution of this state. To give your vote some credibility it is crucial that you understand what it is you're voting for, or against, as the case may be. The most complicated of the propositions is called the revenue and taxation article revision. The proposition is designed to give some degree of tax relief to homeowners, and to require businesses to share more of the tax burden. The proposal also would remove the 75 , percent limit on state funding of education. Currently the state cannot fund more than 75 percent of the operation and maintenance costs of the school program. The pro Homecoming in full Swing Plans for an entire week of fun and festivities are well underway for Homecoming, Oct. 24-30. "Weber Wildcat Week in Utah," as proclaimed by Governor- Scott M. Matheson, was kicked off Sunday evening with a Carillon Concert and a "trek" to the intersection of 25th St and Washington Blvd. to paint the "W." Monday's festivities include the Family Night Carnival in the Dee Events Center. Free live entertainment in the center ring, with an international food fair and games on the concourse.At 9 p.m. a bon-fire pep rally will be held in the west parking lot of the Dee Events Center where winners of the Homecoming Queen Contest will be announced.Dedication of the newly remodeled Stores and Receiving Building on campus will begin at 11 a.m. Tuesday. The annual College Bowl, where the alumni pair-off against the WSC students will be held at noon in the Union Building Lobby. position would remove that limit. Presently the constitution does not allow for any changes to be made by the legislature concerning property tax. Proponents of the amendment say passage will allow the legislature to equalize the tax burden. Opponents argue the proposition will offer no substantial relief from property taxes and only increase commercial property taxes. Currently homeowners pay over 40 percent of the property tax revenue, in comparison to other states this is a larger percentage. Opponents also fear that if the state funds education more than 75 percent the public will lose control over locally elected school boards. Proponents on the other hand, argue that the state should be allowed to fund education as needed. Friday we will examine Proposition 2; compensation for legislators. Noontime activities on Wednesday include a student fashion show and a car-bash pep rally where students are invited to help the football team "Bash the Bengals" in preparation for the Saturday football game. Thursday's convocation speaker will be senatorial candidate Ted Wilson with a rebuttal of the previous week's campaign speech by Senator Orrin Hatch. . A cookout is scheduled on the Moench Mall at noon on Friday, together with a blue grass music festival and a pumpkin carving contest. Reunions for the classes of 1932 and 1957 are scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., with the alumni banquet at 6:30 and a dance at 9 p.m. The final day begins with a 5000 m. race at 8 a.m. A campus tour is scheduled for returning alumni at 5 p.m. Crowning off the week will be the WSC Wildcats vs. Idaho State football game beginning at 7 p.m., followed by a stomp on the McKay Court from 9:30 to midnight. The Stewart Library would like to make all library patrons aware of three book returns strategically located on campus somewhat distant from the library for convenience to students in returning library materials. The south drop is located by the Weber State Police office on the east curb of the parking lot. The north drop is found adjacent to the educational building on the west. Both are accessible by automobile. The third drop is located between the student union and the administration building along the main walkway which runs east and west and is used for pedestrian traffic only. The book drops are designed to aid patrons in returning materials on time. The drops are emptied daily and are open 24 hours every day. Overdue charges can easily be saved if each patron will note the date due which is stated on the slip accompanying each book checked out. Most books can be renewed an indefinite number of times but again, the due date must be observed in order to avoid overdue charges. Dop Quafiy, 2434 Wash.
