SPORTS SLANT,
Frankie Sinkwich May Play Again..
It looks like Frankie Sinkwich of Georgia football
fame, might play football again and for another college.
This time it could be for Duke University. Indications
point to the fact that he might be sent to Duke with the
marines that are in training there. If the Southern
Conference adopts a rule, and it probably will, the
marines that are there will be allowed to play on the
regular team. Four other members of the Georgia foot
ball team are already there and it looks like {here will
be enough football players, counting those of the regu
lar team to make a splendid outfit for this fall.
Os course if the other schools in this section use the
members of the armed forces that are training there
you can watch out for some red hot ball games just as
soon as frost gets on the pumpkin.
Personally the writer of this column 1 favors the using
of all players for football or any other sports that are in
the school. If the boys are there you might as well let
them play and you might as well let the people who are
looking for some fun watch them play. After all the
war will not last forever and after it is over all schools
can return to their regular form.
Duke V-12 Students
Assemble Thursday
Some 1,600 Young Men
To Begin New Phase Os
Education Careers; Will
Live Under Navy Disci
pline.
■ I
DURHAM, June 30. At their
first assembly at 7:30 o'clock
Thursday evening, Duke Univer
sity's 1,600 navy V-12 students
will get first instructions regard
ing campus life under navy
rules and regulations.
In the Duke navy college
training unit will be 600 marines
and a number of coast guards
me. Capt. A. T. Clay, U. S. N., is
the commanding officer of the
unit.
Duke’s civilian students also
will have their first assembly on
Thursday night, at 8:30 P. M.
The civilian and enlisted men’s
academic schedules will be par
allel. (The Woman’s College will
open September 15.)
But the trainees, make no mis
take about it, will be “in the
navy.” They’ll wear navy uni
forms, observe navy rules, regu
lations, and customs, be subject
to military discipline and receive
navy pay.
They’ll get up at 6 o’clock
(pardon, at 0600 o’clock) each
morning to start what promises
to be quite a busy daily routine.
They’ll keep “in the pink” by
participating in an adequate
physical fitness program.
They’ll say “Aye, aye, Sir,” to
and salute officers.
They’ll bring no automobiles
with them to college.
They’ll care for their own
rooms.
They’ll pass their academic !
work or else.
' The navy considers discipline
important in the College Train
ing program, because the stu
dents as officer candidates will
be closely scrutinized by the
public and as potential officers
are will receive educational
training and must justify their
favored status by maintaining
the dignity of the navy uniform
and general observance of disci
pline.
The Duke V-12 trainees will
come from many colleges and
universities, and the length of
their stay will be determined by
the kind of courses they take.
Thsre will be three 16-weelk
terms each year.
Duke University’s regular fac
ulty staff will instruct the en
listed students just as they do
civilian, students. It is the navy’s
hope that as far as possible the
normal pattern of college life
will be continued. High academic
standards wall be maintained,

and the university will keep
scholastic and personnel records
for each navy student as it al
ways does for the civilian stu
dent.
Captain Clay is rounding out
the complement of the Duke
unit. In addition to his N. R. Ol"
T. C. headquarters in the gym
nasium. there will be headquar
ters in House P of Kilgo Dormi
tory Group for the V-12 pro
gram. The complements will be
administrative, medical, physical
training, supplies and accounts,
and a marine detachment. Many
of the men assigned here have
already reported for duty.
Included in the training pro
gram will be the continued N. R.
O. T. C. work, the basic training
program, the engineers’ program,
the pre-medical program, and
the special training program for
medical students. The marines
and coast guardsmen will receive
the same training'as the navy
students.
A large portion of the Univer
sity’s facilities will be used un
der the V-12 program, with
Craven and Kilgo Quadrangles,
a part of Few Quadrangle, and
Southgate hall to be used as
dormitories. The union, library,
classroom and laboratory build
ings will be well used under the
program.
On Thursday evening there
will be two assemblies for civi
lian students, beginning at 8:30
P. M., one for upperclassmen
and the other for freshmen.
On Friday and Saturday all
freshmen will be sent through a
series of tests, while advanced
students, former students, and
advanced navy students and
transfers will register at this j
time.
Monday, July 5, will be regis- •
tration day for freshmen. 1
Instruction will begin at 8 A.

Refreshments To Be Served
' After Playing Is Over
There will be a local golf tour- j

and all club members are invit
ed to participate in the tourney.
Those members who are interes
ted in playing are requested to

Refreshments in the way of
food will be served to those who

charged those who enjoy the
food that is to be served im

Starting July Ist, both’ your Income and Victory Tax will be col
lected by an entirely new and more convenient method.
Under the old system, you were obliged every March 15th to pay
either the full tax for the previous year, or a quarter of that amount.
Under the new system, you will keep paid up from month to month.
After July Ist, your employer is obliged by the new law to with
hold every month a part of your wages and turn die money into the
United States Treasury as payment on your Income and Victory
Tax.
Os course, the amount that your employer withholds will depend
upon your pay and your exemptions. But this is the important point:
For most of us, the amount withheld over a yeaFs period will add
up to the same that we're paying now —plus or minus a few dollars.
At the end of the year, we may owe the Government a few dollars
or the Government may owe us. (See the tables below.)
You may have heard 20% mentioned as die proportion Os your
wages that will be withheld. Actually, this is incorrect. To figure the
amount that will be withheld, take your total wages and subtract
your allowance for exemptions and allowance for dependents;
20% of this lesser amount is the total that will be withheld.
Now please remember this: You must claim those exemptions to
take advantage of them. Before July Ist, you must file with your
employer an Exemption Certificate. If you do not do this, your em
ployer will have no choice but to deduct 20% of your full pay check.
Here is how the new tax collection method will work: Lets say
you are a working man earning $3,000 a year; that you are married,
and have two children.
First of all, as a married man you are allowed a personal with
holding exemption of $1,248, plus an exemption of $312 for each
dependent (other than your wife). This makes a total exemption
of $1,872 ($1,248 for yourself and wife, plus $624 for your two

dependents), which is deducted from die $3,000 you earn before
your tax is computed. You are thus paying tax on $1,128, of which
your employer will withhold 20%, or $225.60 for the year. There
fore, in your pay envelope, after July 1, you will receive about
$4.40 less each week.
In March', 1944, when you ordinarily would be faced with paying
taxes on your 1943 income, you will file a return showing how much
you have already paid, and how much your total tax actually
amounted to. If, by that time, you have already paid more than your
actual tax due, you will be given credit for the difference. If you
owe more than you have paid, you will pay the difference.
Since this plan starts July 1, many wonder what happens to die
tax payments they will already have made by that time—on March
15 and June 15.
For a great majority of people, here is what happens. . . . Your
1942 income tax is “forgiven” (either all, or most of it). The March
and June installments which you originally paid on that 1942 income
tax are credited, instead, as payments on your 1943 tax. With the
result that on July Ist, with the year half gone, you have already
paid tax on that balf-year’s income. In short, you are “paying as
you go.”
There is one thing more. Since this pay-as-you-go method leaves
you just as much of your net income as you had before, you will
probably find it possible to at least maintain your present rate of
buying War Bonds. Do this by all means!
Taxes alone will not bring to the Treasury nearly enough money
to finance the great invasion war that lies ahead. The war needs
every cent of your money that does not go for the necessities of life.
