MBA PROGRAM DIRECTOR Available for Appointment on Friday, January 21st Please call of Placement and Career Center 2180 Annex 581-6106 specialty areas of the present biology faculty, and he hopes his broad base ci interest will help bring about even closer coordination within the department His major goal will be the strengthening of both of these specialty areas molecular and cellular biology, cr.d ecological and environmental biology. Baker came to the University January 1 after 21 years on the faculty of the University of Chicago, four of those of years as chairman of the Department of Biology. His chairmanship from 1968 to 1972 covered the transition period when separate departments cf zoology and botany were combined into a biology department The same merger occurred at the University shortly before the six-year term of Dr. K. Gordon Lark, the man Baker succeeds as chairman.

think we need to expose students to this kind of broad expenence. too. There are few departments in the country that have accomplished this as well as Utah. Lark has done a very effective job of pulling the disciplines together through the hinng of top-notch scientists with broad interests. I want to continue to strengthen this coordinaton.

He also hopes to bring about closer contacts between researchers in the Medical Center and the biology faculty, particularly in the area of neurobiology. "We already have one of the best cellular and molecular biology programs in the country, and want to build on this strength as a base for a neurobiology program," he said "Eventually I would like to join with departments in the Medical Center in developing a broad neuroscience program." In the area of environmental and ecology, Baker hopes to add specialists in physiological plant ecology and animal behavior. "We need to keep this area strong. There is a great deal of interest among students now, and we already have a firm base to build on." Baker has compiled a distinguished record of achievements in fundamental genetic research. Food sales tax bills explained at hearing Several bills filed with the Utah State Legislature could alter the way sales tax on food is levied For the benefit of those who may attend the public hearing Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

in the house chambers concerning the sales tax on bod, here is a brief explanation of the different tax bills. There are two major types of sales-tax -on-food bills which have been filed thus far. House Bills 31 and 16. and Senate Bill 27 would eliminate the tax on food and would make up for the lost revenue by increasing sales tax on other item. House Bill 31, sponsored by Rep.

Steve Holbrook, would remove the state sales tax on food and increase regular salet tax to 4.75 percent It would increase the local option salet tax (currently used to finance the bus system) to one percent It would also reduce the sales tax by one-quarter of one percent each year through Oct 1, 1980, so that on that date the state sales and use tax will be at four percent again. House Bill 16, sponsored by Rep. Lorin N. Pace, would "exclude sales tax on food and increase sales and use tax by one-quarter of one percent on other items." Senate Bill 27, sponsored by Sen. Frances Farley, was not available for inspection.

It too would eliminate the sales tai on food and increase the sales tax on other items. The other type of sales tax relief bill which has been proposed to the legislature would give citizens a state personal income tax credit for money paid for the sales tax on food. These bills include House Bills 15, 62 and 67. House Bill 15, sponsored by Lorin Pace, Georgia Peterson, and David Irvine, would allow a food sales tax credit equal to $15 per personal exemption, for fiscal '77-'78, $30 for fiscal '78-79 and $45 for fiscal '79-'80. In other words, the person filing the income tax return could claim tax credit for those amounts for each person claimed as an exemption.

House Bill 62, sponsored by Sherman D. Harmer, would do the same thing as Bill 15, except the deductable amount in Bill 62 is lower per deduction. House Bill 67, sponsored by University area Representative Jeff Fox, would allow a $40 tax credit per personal exemption to residents whose gross income does not exceed $5000 plus $1250 for each allowable exemption. House Bill 67 is, then, directed mainly at tax relief for low-income families. Copies of all these bills are available at the Capitol's printing office.
