SPECULUM VItAE By DINKY WILLIAMS As 1 sit at my desk, my thoughts wander back over the events of the week. The copy that slides on my desk helps refresh those memories. Our city of Carolina with its picked 1500 students is alive. Here is life, hate, love, dreams, sorrows, altru iems, : nd life and life. Through a haze of smoke we review these students and their thoughts. They pass before us but not in reality . . no, almost as if seen in a mirror. Ah, there is a title! The Mirror of Life and better still, use the old Latin phrase Speculum Vitae meaning the same. And thus a name is born. And thus a column is born. And thus life is born . . . tn much the same man ner. 'Tis written not in humor, yet not in chilling seriousness. Neither does it try to embody reforms or correct maladjustments. No, it is written for your entertainment, for your consideration, for your further ance. Our say has been said, our tale told, so let us begin. LIFTED LINES There are meters of accent, There are meters of tone, But the best way to meter is to meter alone. There are letters of accent, There are letters of tone, But the beet way to letter Is to letter alone. A THOUGHT . .. Cheating is due to an unlikeable professor, or a poor and uninteresting lecturer, or an in structor who gives extremely dif ficult examinations on points un stressed in class. CAROLINES . . . How many students know that the school they are now attending has changed its name no less than seven times since its founding in 1801. It has been known as South Carolina College on three different occasions, the South Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanics, and as the University of South Carolina thrice. MEMORY TIME . . . In years not so long ago, classes under "Colonel" McKissick. His c:yar, cigarettes with their holders, and one of his favorite jokes. To quote: "It teems that a reporter had been sent to cover a great mine disaster. He war to impressed by all that he saw that he tried to indicate all the emotion and heroism that he saw around him in that vast panorama of dea'h. "In a telegram which he sent to his editor, he began: 'GOD SITS TONIGHT ON A LITTLE HILL OVERLOOKING THE SCENE OF DISASTER! "His editor immediately wired back: 'Never mind distaster--inter view God,' and concluded with Get picture if possible.'" THINGS JUST LEARNED. .
