H0ow To Pay Your Income
Tax in Three Easy Lessons

By CRAIG WIL SON
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is ie first
i a series of interpretutive artieles
on the mysteries of income tax pay-
ments.)
Students without means of de-
fense are going to be on the spot
when Uncle Sam's revenue men
call March 15, for their annual in-
come tax collection.
But the spot .wll not be very
difficult if they follow the direc-

chance to see the campus from
the Union Tower, when its doors
are opened for the annual affair.
Four bowling teams, two wom-
en's and two men's, will exhibit
some of the form which makes
them among the best bowlers on
campus.
There will be afternoon danc-
ing from 2 to 5 and a specialty
dance with the music of Frank
Tinker's orchestra from 9 to 12.
The Union Open House, spon-t
sored annually by the Union ex-
ecutive counbil, is designed to give
men and women students an op-
portunity to inspect and enjoy the
many facilities offered by the
"hub of the Michigan campus."

who kept knocking on his door all{
evening.
Carp finally turned up at 11:25
p.m. last night. He said he had
been "sleeping upstairs all eve-+
ring."
Carp, who claims he has never
been to a basketball game, said
that two tickets had been given
to him during a Sigma Alpha Mu1
rushing party Wednesday evening,1
but that he hadn't seen any other
tickets.
Mark Abend, SAM president,
had long since admitted that Carp
had been present at the SAM
house that night, but flatly denied
knowledge of any bootleg tickets.

,enaw County's Collect or of In-
ternal Revenue.
Tax Returns
Who files income tax returns?
Anyone whose gross income for
he year 1947 was more than $500!
But have no fear, unless you have
'een involved in property transa'c-
tions, received an inheritance or
are the recipient of a trust fund,
you probably don't need legal
council, according to the Revenue
Office.
If you are unfortunate enough to
fall into the above category, you
can take your poison either of
three ways:
1. File a Withholding State-
nient (form W-2) as your return,
if your income totals less than $5,-
000 and consists of wages shown
7n Withholding Statements and
'iot more than $100 of other wages,
dividends or interest.
Short Form
2. File a Short-Form Return
(form 1040) for incomes of less
than $5,000.
3. File a Long-form Return
(form 1040-all the blanks on it)
for incomes over $5,000 and stu-
dents who can claim deductions
amounting to more than 10 per
cent of their incomes.
The Withholding Statement is
the best, and the short-form is a
close second for convenience, ac-
cording to revenue officials. On
both of these forms, the taxpayer
is automatically given a 10 per
cent deduction for charities, inter-
est, taxes, casualty losses, medi-
cal expenses and miscellaneous
expenses.
Form 1040
Form 1040 may be secured at the
Office of the Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue, 207 First National
Bank Building, Main and Wash-
ington Sts.
Form W-2, decked out in a
blushing pink for 1947, can be ob-
tained from employers who make
withholding deductions.
NEXT: So you paid 20 per'
cent of your income to the gov-
ernment during 1947. Hope to
get any of it back?

By RAY COURAGE
Up a flight of stairs, straight
ahead to the end of th'e hall, and
a left turn at a door marked "Knit
Shop" leads you to the inner sanc-
tum from whence come many of
those red-hot ideas which coeds
eventually turn into loud colored
argyle socks for some lucky male.
Every afternoon coed needle-
nudgers can be found wearing out
an old davenport in front of a
fern-bedeckedwindow, raptly lis-
tening to answers for their knit-
ting problems given by Mrs. Van
Akkeren, proprietor of the shop.
Dropped Stitches
Even if it's only a stitch dropped
while paying too much attention
to a history lecture, genial Mrs.
"Van" has all the answers, ac-
quired from a lifetime of knitting,
everything from baby booties to
long underwear.
What, to Mrs. "Van" had al-
ways been a hobby, was finally
changed to a business in 1940 at
the insistence of her family. She
spent all her time knitting any-
way, -according to her daughter.
Thus started what has now
turned into something resembling
an afternoon bull session and
seminar in advanced knitting. As
Mrs. "Van" puts it, "I enjoy hav-
ing the girls around here and it's
a real pleasure to help them."
Vacant Hours
Not only do coeds spend their
vacant hours stringing stitches,
Mrs. "Van" revealed, but there
are also a few veterans who come
around for crocheting instruc-
tions. Crocheting, she explained, is
soothing for the nerves.
One of Mrs. "Van's" not-so-
able students, Beverly Bussey, '49,
confessed that during the summer
she had to make the trip here
from Detroit several times because

of knitting problems which
couldn't solve.

she

Another coed, Ruth Rudin,
'49Ed., working on a left-footed
affair, said that before she came
to Mrs. Van for help it took her
four months to get below thej
ankle on her first sock.I
Build a Monument
Someone should build a mon-
ument for her, says Ginnie Brown,
'49Ed., one of Mrs. "Van's" most
loyal and enthusiastic students.
"She is a willing and anxious in-
structor, and her business would
mean nothing to her if she didn't
have the opportunity to help and
encourage the girls who come here
so often."
One engineer, sporting a pair of
skybluepink argyles swore on his
sliderule that Mrs. Van Akkeren is
"alright but it's about time that
she started teaching these coeds
how to knit argyle ties."
