Tax Refund Money Due
U O Students, Veterans
By Bill Yates
Many Oregon students may be
unknowingly passing up sizeable
sums of money because of failure
to file for income tax refunds.
Any person who earned less than
$000 last year and whose wages
were subject to the government
withholding tax is eligible to re
ceive the full amount that was
taken from his salary. Although
not all employees were subject to
the withholding tax, most persons
working in factories, shipyards,
stores, offices, etc., did have the
tax taken from their paychecks.
Must File Forms
Persons whose salaries were
subject to the withholding tax
should have received a Form W-2
at the time they received their
last paycheck. Any one earning
more than $500 automatically must
file this receipt, or a regular in
dividual income tax return, on or
before March 15. Although not
i compulsory, persons in the less
than-$500 bracket should file the
receipt so that the government can
refund all the withholding tax that
was taken from their wages.
If any person has lost his form
W-2, he may secure another from
the Office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue. Room 20/, in the
Postoffice building.
Money Due Vets
Many veterans may also unex
pectedly have sums due them from
the government. Any man who en
tered the service after 1941, and
I who paid income tax either for the
year of 1941 or 1942, may file at
any internal revenue collection of
fice and receive a full refund.
The pay of any man who served
in the armed forces as an enlisted
man is exempt from income tax
and need not file. Men who held
| ranks as commissioned officers
| must pay tax on all money earned
j above $1500. Men coming into this
class have six- months after their
discharges in which to file a re
turn, and three years in which to
pay.
E. L. Huber, deputy collector for
the Eugene district, has announced
that all persons who are in doubt
' about their income tax status can
receive complete advice fiom his
j office in the Postoffice building, or
j from any other internal revenue
! office.

Strange Oddity
Befalls Veteran
By Winston Carl
Every Friday night Bill Stern
comes on the radio telling strange
stories about famous sports stars.
However, since he limits tales to
those of world renown, many sto
ries even more amazing than his,
go untold.
There is one occurrence that is
too interesting to die unheard. It
concerns a student who will be
back on the campus next term,
Willard Christianson. The scene
takes place in an army air corps
barracks in advanced training
school. Chris was talking to one of
the boys who had been on the same
team with him during pre-flight,
basic, and advanced training ath
letics. During the course of the con
versation, Chris discovered that
this teammate’s home was in Sea
side, Oregon. As Chris was from
Tillamook, he wondered if they
had played against each other dur
ing high school athletic competi
tion.
Remembers Event
By coincidence they had, and
remembered that each had gradu
ated at about the same time. The
Seaside cadet remembered one
football game in particular, for it
was one of the important tussles
of that season, and again because
he was injured during the course
of it. He recalled being tackled as
he ran through the Tillamook high
line, then twisting and falling on
a line-backer’s knee, which in turn
fractured this line-plunger’s col
larbone.
Strangely enough, Chris remem
bered that game too, for it was
his knee that the Seaside player
had fallen on. So two men who
hail fought many a sports battle
on opposing teams, found that even
though the armed services did
manage to separate friends from
each other, they did bring adver
saries together on new gridirons
thousands of miles from home
playing on the same team.
Coed: “Whatever will you think
of me now that I’ve kissed you!”
Professor: “You’ll pass.”

New handball champions were
crowned during the earlier part
of the term as the Yeomen stopped
a title bound Beta Theta Pi team
3 to 0 in the final round of the
single elimination tournament. The
Yeomen won all three sets from
the Betas with little trouble. Ro

single events while Hendrickson
and Vossen teamed up to garner
the doubles victory.

BOUT 7,000 miles of coaxial cable will be added to
our plant during the next few years. Inside each
cable are six or eight copper tubes —each pair a broad
communications highway over which two television
programs or nearly 500 long distance telephone calls
can travel. Giant plow-trains will "plant” much of this
cable deep in the ground—safe from storm and fire.
This construction is but a part of our activity in the
television field. Now in an advanced experimental sta^e
ait plans to link coaxial cables and high frecjuency
radio relay systems to provide a nationwide television
network.
Our part in television is the transmission of pro
grams from one station to another. As this new industry
develops, the Bell System will be prepared to provide
whatever network facilities are needed.
