	Does one have to pay social security tax (now 6+ percent)
on scholarship income ?

	I called a social security office and the best I could
get was "the IRS does all of that for us".  The question is interesting
because Bell Labs paid me some money to go to school, called it
salary and withheld SS taxes (and paid matching money, I guess), and
now the IRS says it was scholarship, not salary (fine with me).
