However, the Office of Children LEARNING points parents of the five students as their temporary guardians and gives the Institute authority to treat the students with aversives, pending parental approval. "The parents, who expressed their dismay in court at what has happened to their children, will approve.

Mary Kay Leonard, director of Office for Children, said in a telephone interview that her agency has adopted administrative procedures to review requests to use aversives and has appointed a panel of specialists to consider such cases.

"Irrespective of the outcome of investigations, behavioral procedures represent the only documented effective psychological methods for the management of severely disturbed clients," the group's statement said.

And Every Friday at 12 Noon MicroCAD The Massachusetts Office for Children had agreed to restoration of an aversive program that had proved highly successful in treating the teenage girl. It refused, however, to endorse the plans approved by the court for five additional clients, ages 18 to 28, following a hearing Friday. Rotenberg was told that all have reverted to self-Injurious and aggressive behavior since restrictions were placed on the use of aversive therapy last September. asks students in job search companies, annual reports and uuisiuc suuiues suun as economics journals and consumer advocacy groups, said members of the group. Last year, 214 companies interviewed prospective employees at Harvard, and at least that many are expected this spring, said Linda Chernlck, director of recruiting at the school's Office of Career Services.

In the first round of interviews, which began yesterday, 480 students applied for jobs with approximately 100 businesses, Chernlck added. Harvard requires that all companies that participate in the organized recruiting program adhere to federal fair employment standards, said Martha Leape, director of the career office. The office, which keeps annual reports and similar information from companies that participate in the program, will not assist in the distribution of the student report, Leape said. and cartographers from January 1975 through December 1977. The Appellate Tax Board ordered the commissioner to refund the money, and Jackson appealed the decision.

In a ruling authored by Justice Joseph R. Nolan, the court said the issue was whether art work purchased by the company is tangible personal property, thus sub-. ject to sales tax, or professional or personal service transactions. Doctors, lawyers, beauticians and repairmen are examples of those whose work is not subject to sales tax. The court said that, as a matter of law.

It must defer to the findings of the Appellate Tax Board when there is substantial evidence to warrant the findings. "The board found that Houghton Mifflin is essentially buying the artists' and cartographers' imagination, talent and skill," the court said. Taxing the purchase of the art work, Hestnes said in his written arguments to the court, would be Improper taxation. Already, sales tax is paid by the artist for paper, paint and pencils and by the consumer for the finished book. He argued that taxing the publisher for the art work would mean the company "would have to pass the tax onto its customers through a price increase." Ostrach argued the Tax Board failed grasp the Legislature's intent for the sales tax because it "saw a naive dichotomy of pure goods and pure services rather than the continuous spectrum of mixed transactions that really exists A purchaser of artwork always purchases, at least In part, an object and not simple an artist's services." claim Megabucks Arlington Trust Co.

Kennedy Contributing Reporter Houghton Mifflin a Boston-based publisher of trade and educational books, won a refund from the state yesterday when the Supreme Judicial Court ruled book illustrations, art work and maps exempt from sales tax. The court upheld a 1984 decision by the Appellate Tax Board that said the art work of independent contractors purchased for use In the company's books are professional services, and not subject to the 5 percent sales tax. The publisher's attorney said the court's ruling means the company will get about $100,000 from the state, including interest.

Harold Hestnes, who represented the publisher, said the Supreme Court's ruling sends a signal to the state about attempts to tax similar work done for newspapers and magazines, in addition to books. "It's the question of the downstream effect on future purchases," he said. But attorneys for the state said the effect of the ruling was limited. "Some people sell Ideas or services, and some people sell goods," said Assistant Attorney General Stephen S. Ostrach, who argued the appeal for the state.

"And in each case, Revenue Commissioner Ira Jackson has the right to litigate individually. In this case, he lost." James Aloisi, chief of the legal bureau for the Revenue Commissioner, said a few other companies are now taxed under the same provision. "But I don't think it's a big dollar amount," he said. The Revenue Commissioner taxed the publisher $52,719.52 for the purchase of art work and maps from as many as 500 artists Special Section in the Learning Pages Sunday, Tuesday Thursday, March 9, 1 1 1 3 Very 'simply, this Special Section is perfectly timed to deliver your SummerFall recruitment message to the largest, most educationally-aware audience in New England our readers, your students!
