Taxes
Continued from page 3A
Dependent Care credit if they have a record
of their child care expenses, Cavanagh said.
“Students with dependents may claim up
to $3,000 per child,” she said.
While there are numerous resources
available to citizens if they experience tax
confusion, fewer options are available to
international students, Cavanagh said.
Erika Sanchez, a Venezuelan graduate
student in the civil engineering department,
said she is confused by the tax process in the
United States.
“Everything is more difficult for us. I
have to talk to someone to help me because
l have no idea what to do,” Sanchez said.
“I may talk to my uncle and see who does
his taxes.”
Sanchez said that in her country, taxes are
not taken out of people’s paychecks.
“I have never dealt with taxes before,”
Sanchez said. “In Latin American countries,
young people don’t have to deal with (taxes)
until they are finished with school.”
Many international students depend on
each other to figure out how to deal
their taxes, Sanchez said.
“Everyone international 1 knoJ
asks someone else who has done it bJ
she said.
International Services helps only fJ
nationals to file for an individual ta\|
identification number for those who]
qualify for Social Security.
The upside of taxes, Sanchez sai
the refund.
“I will probably spend it on a ticket!
country or a vacation. I have been \J
for a year now, so 1 have some vacation]
ing," Sanchez said. “1 want to spend ii]
good trip and a good time.”

Douglas donates $1 million to
UC- Santa Barbara
DOUGLAS
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Oscar-winning
actor Michael Douglas doesn’t believe in that
“greed is good” philosophy uttered by his charac
ter, Gordon Gekko, in the 1987 film “Wall Street.”
Douglas gave $1 million to the University of
California, Santa Barbara, for the school’s new
Center for Film, Television and New Media. The
lobby of the new center will be named in honor
of Douglas.
The 59-year-old actor, who graduated from
UCSB in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in dramatic art, said in a
statement Monday that he’s proud to be associated with the cen
ter, which “represents the very best in teaching, research and
public service that a campus can offer.”
“I have watched UCSB become an international leader in edu
cation,” Douglas said, “and as an alumnus and benefactor, I
have the personal satisfaction of having played a part in that
transformation.”
The new center is the first of its kind in the University of
California system. It will include a production suite, instructional
and research laboratories, a climate-controlled film and television
archive and a 325-seat public theater.
Douglas is a member of the advisory board for the center, which
will be funded by private donations of about $10 million.
He won a best-actor Oscar for his role as Gekko in “Wall Street."
Simple battery is punishable by up to a year in jailaj
$1,000 fine. Normally on a first offense in domestic vic-l
cases, the charge is dismissed if the defendant undeT
counseling.
Houston, 40, and Brown, 35, have been married since ]
They have a 10-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

Ripa's sister paid SIS million by surges
Preliminary battery trial for R&B
singer Brown postponed
ATLANTA (AP) — A preliminary hearing for singer Bobby
Brown, charged with battery after he allegedly hit his wife, singer-
actress Whitney Houston, has been postponed from Wednesday
to May 5, a Fulton County magistrate court clerk said.
Police responded to a call by Houston to the couple’s home
near Alpharetta in December. She told police Brown had struck
her on the left side of her face. Police said Houston had a
bruised cheek and a cut inside her upper lip.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A jury has ordered a Philadelpf;]
geon to pay $15 million to the sister of television talk-shoj
Kelly Ripa for failing to properly repair her broken ankle.
Linda Ripa, 30, was an aspiring model and actress whe j
was nearly killed in a 1999 car accident that fracture:]
pelvis, sternum and ankle and endangered her eight-r]
pregnancy.
She claimed in her lawsuit that a surgeon who operatedyl
ankle three days after the crash rushed her into surgery url
essarily without telling her of the risks, then improperly se[
broken bones.
Medical experts testifying for Ripa at trial said the operat:!
her foot permanently deformed, made it difficult to wald
caused nerve damage that gives her constant pain.
A lawyer for the hospital where the surgery was peffcrl
called the judgment excessive and said he planned to a::|
Ripa had offered to settle for $2.4 million, but was turned J
by the doctor, who said her nerve damage was caused
crash, not the efforts to heal her.
The jury announced its verdict on Friday.
“I’m going to hazard a guess that the plaintiff, and theplr
lawyers, in their wildest dreams, did not anticipate this J
bringing in $15 million,” said David Corujo, a lawyer for FrrT
Hospital.
Ripa’s lawyer, Roberta D. Pichini, said the jury’s verdc
just. She said Ripa lost her ability to work as an actress:]
because of her pain, could not accept a $150,000-per-year>|
work as her sister’s personal assistant.
Kelly Ripa, co-host of “Live With Regis & Kelly” andanacl
in the ABC comedy “Hope & Faith," testified by videotape:
two-week trial in Philadelphia’s Common Pleas Court.
