In the Gamecock Room, the coffee urn chortled - contentedly * Mortimer * Mortimer never had eight o' clock classes. As a matter of fact, Mortimer never had classes at all. He saw what going to classes did to the people around him and decided that he was very fortunate, in deed. It wasn't that Mortimer was lazy. He wasn't lazy at all. In fact, Mortimer was almost always up long before everyone else . . . just waiting to go to breakfast. He just couldn't understand why everyone else didn't enjoy a good, hearty breakfast as much as he did. Mortimer did have one prob lem - money . . . so some kind soul almost always bought break fast for him. When the others went off to class, looking worried and un happy, Mortimer worried, too. He couldn't understand. Everything was so beautiful and the sun shone so brightly that everyone should be happy. Most days it seemed silly not to spend all of one's time basking in the sun, free from study and worry. Mortimer was never concerned with prepositions and split in finitives when he wanted to com municate. To Mortimer, the whole world was something to wag one's tail at. Lessons In College How To Be Fas By Steven Bergman What happens when you are late to a class? Probably the professor, will raise an eyebrow, look at you indifferently, and remind you that if circumstances once again arise whereby you are late to class you shall become what is unfortunately known as a "has-been" student. However, being late, while taking the condescending s t a r e and lambastation, need not go without some retort on your part. There is always that prefabricated ex cuse used by your pal last week which proved quite effective. Bet ter known as "that old college try .. ." Either sex will have its respec tive difficulties depending on how well you have sized up the prof. I have often pondered on whether it pays to tell the real reason for coming late (especially when in my mind I have a much jucier excuse). Each of us has known the consequence of being subject of "My, my, my, look who has come to enhance our class for this hour . . ." The problem then pre sents itself if it is better to hit him with your excuse right then and there -- perhaps to be the brunt of the professor's witticism at that particular moment, or slink to your seat, to see if you can embellish the reason that ran through your mind while running to class. The once lifesaving note that mom would write to your grade teacher -- no more pulls you through those moments we wish dlid not have to occur.1 How often has it been that our 1 spring A Q forgotten. The doors to the Confederate Room were ajar but there were no agonized shouts from unfortu nate bridge partners.

Vast Wasteland The cyclops eye of the television set cast an eerie glow over the rows of empty chairs and the elevator lazed sleepily behind its green door at the bottom of the shaft. It was hard to believe . . . this was Carolina? Could this be the institution of Jonathan Maxey and J. Ryon Mc Kissick ? Could this be the state's cultural center and home of The Greater University Fund ? Could this be the land of coffee and cigarettes and the pressures of horr quizzes? My Campus? Could this be the site of snow ball riots and abortive panty raids? . . . bane of bells and bugles ? Could this be the campus of skyscraper d o r i s and over crowded classrooms . . . of eleven 3'clock curfews at walled-in dormi tories? Could this be the campus I had known ? Surely not. No! Most certainly, no! The entire campus looked like a scene from "On the Beach." In disbelief I turned to the only hope I had for my campus - my school, my alma mater - the Life No. 6 shionably Late >eloved professor has been the one ;o come late?
