Nations displayed
in craft bazaar
Daily Nebraskan
Wednesday, April 15, 1987

Everything from bronze cannons to tribal
attire and masks is on display at the Interna
tional Food and Craft Bazaar in the lobby of the
Nebraska Union. Students from Malaysia, Nige
ria, Indonesia, Fyi and Argentina have placed
their crafts and food on display for students and
faculty to see, buy and taste. The bazaar will last
until 4 p.m. today.
Malaysia students, who won first place for
best overall display, have on their table crafts
ranging from pewter pitchers to a stuffed turtle
and a display of beetles and scorpions large
enough to make Nebraska's summer mosquito
problem seem non-existent. Architecture stu
dent Abdul Rahim said only a few of the bugs are
harmful to humans.
Leather is the mainstay craft of Nigeria, UNL
student Joseph Akpan said. The Nigerian exhibit
also displays snakeskin purses that Akpan says
will last 15 years. Akpan said that the natural
oils released by the skin keep it pliable and
durable. Most of the leather crafts are sold for
$10 to $30.
The Indonesian display was brilliantly color
ful. It represents the Indonesian culture with
bold handmade mirrors, dresses and wood car
vings. A sign above the Fyi display reads "Fyi, the
way the world should be." Charlette Hedges, who
calls herself an honorary Fijian from Alabama,
said the sign was there because "the people in
Fyi are so friendly and it's always warm."

Christian paper
glorifies God,
student editor says
GOOD NEWS from Page 1
Forde said.
Forde said 15 to 20 people help him
put together and distribute the paper.
Some volunteers spend three or four
days organizing and distributing the
Good News, Forde said.
Jennifer Johnson, editor in chief,
works 25-30 hours a week, takes classes,
leads a junior-high Fellowhsip Chris
tian Athletes group and participates in
FCA on campus in addition, to her time
at the paper. Her relationship with the
Lord is her main priority and her sche
dule keeps her busy, she said. But God
always provides the time she needs to
get things done, Johnson said.
Before Good News, Johnson said, she
didn't know what was going on in many
of the Christian groups on campus, but
the paper has provided a way for the
different groups to keep up on what is
going on.
The paper's survival is a continuing
i manifestation of God's will, Forde said.
Donations for printing and articles
always are there when needed, he said.

The day of reckoning for procrasti
nators is at hand. Tax returns for 1986
must be filed before midnight tonight.
Many taxpayers, however, "have filed
for extensions and gained more time.
"We've seen probably a 20 percent
increase in extensions over last year,"
said Pat York of Denver, a self-employed
tax consultant and enrolled agent with
clients across the United States.
"Tax preparers are handing out ex
tensions like they're candy."

Applications for extensions must be
filed by April 15. They give the individ
ual ?n automatic four-month extension
to Ajgust 15. If another extension is
needed by then, a form citing the cause
needs to be filed and the IRS will issue
a ruling.
"An extension does not excuse you
from paying liability, though," York
said. Tou should have your taxes
roughed out and pay, if you owe, by
April 15 or risk being penalized. '
The failure-to-pay penalty is 0.5 per
cent of unpaid tax for each month. The
failure-to-file penality is 5 percent each
month. Neither penalty can exceed 25
percent of the person's taxes, York
said.
Although new tax-law changes do
not affect this year's returns, York said,
worries about next year's forms are
causing some people to procrastinate
prematurely.
For example, the new W-4A forms
that withhold taxes for next year are
confusing some and causing them to
put off filing even this year, York said.
"The form is simpler to read, easier
to fill out and less intimidating than its
predecessor, yet is imprecise enough
that many people feel it may be better
to wallow through the original," York
said.
U.S. News and World Report reported
that the new W-4A takes a number of
shortcuts, making it less accurate. The
value of personal exemptions, for ex
ample, is rounded off to $2,000, rather
than its actual $1,900.
The I.R.S. Office of Management and
Budget said it may order further revi
sions, but taxpayers will have their
choice of forms to file, according to U.S.
News and World Report.
Gerald Leener of Coopers and Ly
brand, a Lincoln accounting firm, said
that anyone wi th more than a very sim
ple return should consider using the
original W-4.
In spite of its problems, tax prepar
ers say the short form may help people
who don't itemize deductions and have
little investment income. The work
sheet is only seven lines long and can
be completed in five to 15 minutes.
