TOM WOLFE, PRESIDENT, and Lesley John
son, vice-president, were elected to head the BC
student government at the beginning of second se
mester. The two have already been initiated in
to the workings of the SGA.
Brevard College's New
Leaders Begin Duties
Tom Wolfe, from Wilkesboro,
North Carolina, was recently
elected President of the Bre
vard College Student Govern
ment Association.
He is active in varied cam
pus activities, as a member of
Alpha Beta Gamma and the
Clarion staff. Last semester he
was a hall proctor in Taylor
Hall, thus preparing himself
for his present job (unbe
knownst to him).
In addition to his responsi
bilities, Tom likes to dance (ask
the girls he charmed in Mr.
Fisher’s dancing class) and
to run around the track (so says
his coach and Tom himself).
The unanimous choice for
president, Tom promised to do
his best in administrating stud
ent affairs. Several students say
he has started out “out in the
right direction.”
Helping him head the school
is Lesley Johnson, a music ma
jor, who plans to transfer to
Greensboro College when she
graduates in May.
Lesley is from High Point,
North Carolina, and now con
siders East Beam, first floor
as home. She, also, is active in
Phi Theta Kappa as secretary,
Glee Club, choir, and the MSM.
When asked her two out
standing loves, everyone answ
ered “music and a local boy.”
These two leaders have al
ready begun directing the BC
“ship of state.”
About Kite Flying

Kite flying is a good sport
-but is it a safe sport?
It can be, if a few common
;e rules are observed.
It’s toward the goal of

Sort that it ought to be that
mike Power Company is dis
tributing thousands of car
toon - type leaflets to the

animal characters, would be

... about your
Social Security
By D. C. NICHOLS
Field Representative
Q. My neighbor down the
road thinks there’s been some
kind of change in the way farm
ers can report their income for
social security credit. What
about it?
A. Your neighbor is right.
The recent change is in the
method that farmers can use
in figuring and reporting
their self • employment in
come for social security cred
it. Since most farmers may
have relatively less money
income (on which social se
curity benefits are based),
and since they face natural
risks and circumstances large
ly beyond their control—such
as crop failures due to
drought, damaging rains and
floods, storms, hail, etc., and
even the prices they get for
their products — the law al
lows farmers, and only .farm
ers, to use an optional meth
od that can be helpful to
them.
Starting with the 1966 tax
able year — if a farmer’s net
income (after his operating
expenses are deducted) is less
than $1600, and provided his
gross income (before his farm
operating expenses are de
ducted) is over $600, he may
report two - thirds of his
gross income if it is between
$600 and $3400.
Using this optional meth
od, if a farmer grossed over
$600 last year he can report
(on Schedule F of his income
tax return) two-thirds of his
gross income up to $2400.
This is still true if he actual
ly had a net loss. And even
if he grossed over $2400, if
he netted less than $1600—
or if he had a net loss — he
may report and pay the so
cial security tax op $1600
(two - thirds of $2400). How
ever, if his net farm income
was over $1600 he cannot use
the optional method but must
pay the tax on his actual net.
For further information ask
for the leaflet “Self-Employ
ed Farmers.”
Q. From time to time dur
ing the year I hire some help
on my farm. Several other farm,
ers that I know are in the same
situation, hiring more or less
temporary farm workers. So
this is our question: How much
does a farm hand have to make,
or how long does he have to
work, to be covered and re
ported for social security?
A. $150 or 20 days. Maybe
that sounds like a judge sen
tencing somebody, but no—
it’s the reporting rule for a
