SPECULUM VITAE .By DWKY WILLIAMS HAZE-DREAMS: Howard Cooper, former editor of The Gamecock, re turning to Carolina and visiting this office. He made the trip of 175 miles to do one thing: Carve his "last words" on the.editor's desk, the desk that car ries the names of the managing edi tors and editors of this rag for years. The old desk, upon which the type writer is resting as I write this column, is the one sacred prize of The Game cock. New furni1 ture hai been ordered for this office but there is 'one piece of furniture that will not be supplanted....this desk. Some of the notable names inscribed on the scarred surface are Leroy Want, William Lathan, Lew Wallace, John Giles, William Herbert, Allen Rollins, Frank Wardlaw, W. B. King, L. L. Gregory, F. H. Haskell, Phillip Sab bagha, John C. Payne, Mark Dowtin, T. T. Moore, Miles Elliott, and How ard Cooper. Such epitaphs as "Rest in Peace," "Departed This Vale," "Gone But Not Forgotten," "In Loving Memory," "Erected to Memory of," "Sacred to the Memory of," "May they rest in H-," "Here lies all that is mortal," "Writ in wood to the memory of-," "What's good in wood, a poem-a tree, a newspaper or poetry," "We came, we saw, we left," are cut into the wood. To these former editors, we drink a toast. Wherever they are, whatever their fortunes, we salute them!

Last week, the prediction: "Georgia over Clemson two touchdowns.... much to the Tigers' surprise".... Perfect. Last week, the prediction, "Alabama over Carolina by two goals....after the fight of a lifetime." A little off on the score because of the Gamecocks' fail ure to culminate touchdown drives, but it was the fight of a lifetime. In reit eration: Carolina over every team met the remainder of this season. The Gamecocks in nine straight wins. "He who laughs last..

The trip up was uneventful except in Atlanta when Jones got on the wrong train and was almost left before he real ized his mistake. We had breakfast this morning on the train. Yes, you're right. Almost $2.50. Toast and coffee. When we went to bed last night, I very "city wise" placed my shoes out for the porter to shine. Everything went well until someone passing along the corridor ac cidently kicked one of them, it stopping in the private compartment of some pomp lady whose eyes looked like tobacco pouches. She was quite infuriated un Commerce Students Cabaret Party The cabaret party planned by the Commerce Department for all Com merce students has been postponed to the week following State Fair Week.

I gladly consented but today found out that the seats to the so-called little theatre were going at $3.50 each. Oooh, my expense account.

We already knew that but we couldn't print it. Some friends just came by and we must away. Until Monday, I am a forlorn edi tor lost in the mazes of a big city-and loving it. Sincerely, Dinky F. F.

My ardent wish is that the Union may gradually absorb additional space in the building, and that ultimately it may take over the whole building. This cannot be done now because the University is compelled to rent the larger number of rooms in order to get revenue with which to pay back to the Federal government its loan for part of the cost of the building.
