The following are just a fe that might provide a few laug] or a grain of thought that mig] lead to some serious thinking. "Better a bad excuse than noi at all," a quotation by Camde can be compared to the excuse "Honey, I'm sorry but I'll be lat Some friends stopped by the apar ment, and I haven't had a chan, to shave and dress yet, but I'll I over as soon as possible."

Y. A. Diiin fB Freshmai Tells Vie BY SUE ADAMS Staff Writer Dear Mother: College life is great. I've met all these bright girls. Every night in the dorm we discuss American culture. This covers all facets of young America's private life. Not only is this entertaining; it is also educational. Please don't be worried about the rather wild reputation of life it Carolina. After giving us a loving welcome, our hostess asked is to accept her as our second mother. Then she told us the rules. It is up to us to uphold the radition of Carolina women. We try, but that is next to impossible. Now that I've calmed your fears ibout USC social life, I'll tell -ou about some more harrowin-: ,xperiences. Getting registered -nd paying fees wasn't too easy. Some freshmen waited in line for hours and hours to pay their fees. I was lucky; it took me only three. When I finally paid my fees, I ilso got my ID card validated. This card is my only proof that I am a USC student. Without it, I'm lost. I couldn't go to many USC functions or provide identi fication to cash checks. Another assential document is my treasury -eposit book. To withdraw any money, I must present it. I am always checking to be sure they aren't lost. After paying my fees, I checked A Fictional L Questions Yo BY PRECIOUS ZURLO Feature Editor Excuse me, air . . . Young man, excuse me. Yes you, I would like to ask you a question. Yes sir. Now tell me, where did you get that nice new penknife? Oh I see, you bought it last summer. Very well . . . do you like pen knives? You do, you collect knives, you say. It must be an interesting hobby. Oh, you have a real nice one with a sterling silver handle, very interesting. Well, what do you do with them, I mean besides s h a v i n g desks down, I can see that you're doing a very nice job on your desk. Yes, i n d e e d, it won't be long until there's no room left on top for your book. Oh it does? It takes a lot of skill and practice to learn to destrop property like that? Yes, I guess it would; that's certainly very commendable. Have you noticed a small group of s t u d e n t s walking around campus as if they own the p)lace? They're probably seniors, and if they've been here the whole time. they should own the place. Then there's another noticeable group running about. This is a much larger group; most of its~ members are wearing new shoes or clothing. These are freshman. They'll learn. rtinue a nrk*atria 1's Letter ' ws On Col the book list and visited the Caro lina Book Store. I was unfortu nate enough to buy all my books at the same time. Imagine carry ing $37.00 worth of books five blocks! I spent the remainder of the afternoon recuperating. Another minor problem at Caro lina is eating. Sometimes It takes thirty minutes to move through the line and another five minutes to find an empty table. Now that you know about my minor problems, I'll tell you about my major ones, such as finding time to study. I've been carrying KING LEAR in my purse for days. I read in the Gamecock Room waiting for food, in the cafeteria waiting for my roommate to finish her after dinner cigarette, and even in the dormitory hall while waiting to elect floor representa tives. Getting to class is another prob lem. The IBM machine didn't realize that people are human. On Monday. Wednesday, and Friday, I have classes at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00. The other three class days are reserved for history, labs, and REST. Finding my first two classes was no - problem. All that ended with my French class. I, being a very green freshman, thought Ds meant Davis College. In all in nocence, I went trotting off to Davis College looking for Room 103. There was no 103 on the first floor. Next I tried the basement. Since only one class was down ibrary Visitor ung Stranger Another question, if I might ask, sir. Thank you. I noticed you're wearing an unusual pair of trousers; I must say I have never seen any like them before. Did you buy them? You (lid. Seven years ago. Oh well, that accounts for the cuffs being frayed, right below your knees a little. They what? They were denim? Blue denim? My, my, I certainly never would have guessed that. They look white to me. Oh yes, I do see it now; inside the pocket it's still faintly blue. Yes, you're right. They're very nice, really. Well, I've enjoyed talking to you, young man. Incidentally, are you just visiting here in the Undergraduate Lbrary? Oh, ex cuse me, I didn't realize you were a student.

A very kind upper elassman pointed out that Ds was DeSaussure College. Fortunately, my French professor was late. Goodby for now. It's 2 a.m. and my eyes no longer focus. Your daughter, Bebty Co-ed Dramatic Endeavor Organized BY LAWRENCE E. MINTZ Staff Writer In line with the writer's policy of beginning with the near and progressing to the distant, this season's theatre commentary will begin with the newly re-activated University Players. This organization will take over the campus dramatic limelight from the small, but dedicated, Drama Society that peeped through the curtain for one per formance last s e me s t e r. Mrs. Phyllis Fleishel, who is the fac ulty advisor and director of the group, assures us that this society has the campus, departmental, and administrative backing to produce a truly successful and permanent campus dramatic organization. This year Mrs. Fleishel plans at least two major productions, along with many other rewarding activi ties. An interested, talented, and hard-working student membership is the key to success for this much needed and valuable endeavor. Meetings are scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. The first meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23 in Davis College. The Player's constitution state3 the aim of the society to be to ". . . offer interested students op portunities to stage dramatic pro Auctions, and to offer all Univer sity of South Carolina students the benefits of a university theatre." We feel that such a so ciety is vital to the growth of the school and the community. To Mrs. Fleishel and the University players, high bravos and best wishes. We eagerly await the op portunity to review and discuss the progress of this group.

There was no in o n e y in that," Ivor Brown maintains in his unusual book, How Shakespeare Spent The Day, published on March 16 by Hill and Wang. (237 pages. Note3 on books. Index. $5.00.) Ivor Brown's book is perhaps unique. In a letter to this office, he wrote: "It is the presentation of Shakespeare as a workaday man with a living to earn as an actor and theatre-manager, as well as author, poet and playwright. So many of the academic books on Shakespeare overlook this side of him." There are enough f a c t s, Mr. Brown believes, to build a plausi ble picture of Shakespeare's life and the conditions in which he struggled so hard (and so sucess fully) to make a l i v i n g. lIe worked by the clock: rehearsing, reading actors, selling ale, writing poetry and plays (he wrote two plays a year; some years, three) . . . meanwhile watching his in vestments: all part of a day's work.
