15-Cent Coffee—Never!
Coffee has traditionally been a vital part of collegiate life at
Oregon.
That’s why, if we were to nominate our choice of the biggest
talamity foreseen in the year of our Lord, 1954, it would be a
unanimous vote for the I5-cent coffee.
- It’s still in the rumor stage and we hate to spread rumors.
Still, Deady could crumble to dust. The ‘O’ could disappear
from Skinner’s butte. Waldo could go to Siberia. And the Uni
yersity of Oregon would still stand.
We’re not so sure we could hold things together if that
boost in coffee prices ever gets out of the rumor stage. Noth
ing touches the heartstrings, and pursestrings, of America
more than the morning, or afternoon, or evening cup of that
wicked, black, calorie-less, vitamin-less brew known in this
society as coffee.
No one can make what is known, with tongue-in-cheek, as
“good” coffee. It is inevitably too strong, too watery, too hot,
too cold or just plain mud. But, taking all into consideration,
coffee has been gathered up in the warm, loving bosom of
American college life and made a tradition.
It’s over a cup of coffee that you seminar fox a final. Coffee
sets the scene for informal, man-to-man discussions of world
affairs and the state of the union. The nostalgic aroma pene
trates even the drama of the two bright-eyed freshmen looking
into each others eyes to discover what life and love and things
are all about—over a cup of coffee.
Coffee doesn’t quite make the world go around. But it does
make the world of Taylor’s, The Side, and the Student Union
move at a lovely, whirling pace*
Can tea or milk or chocolate ever take the place of a “cupa”
coffee, please.” No, these liquids, noble as they are, have none
of the stamina, nostalgia and friendship brewing qualities which
'the Brazilian coffee bean possesses in full measure.
Oregon students are not rich. They are not millionaire play
boys. They do not have lobbies in Congress or an “in” with
Brazil. They only want to live in peace and drink their coffee
at a reasonable cost. And they cannot afford 15-cent coffee.—

r “School—School—School—Am I glad it’s Friday.”
Do You Want to Flunk ... ?
Well, Here's the Real Scoop
(ACP)—Students who have
trouble falling some of their easier
courses should heed the advice of
Jack Seward, writing in the Ore
gon State Daily Barometer. His
suggestions are as follows:
1. Enter the course as late as
possible. By changing your mind
about the curriculum after school
starts, you should be able to avoid
classes until the second or third
week.
2. Do not bother with a text
book.
3. Put your social life ahead of
everything else. If necessary, cul
tivate a few friendships in the
class. Interesting conversation
should be able to drown out the
noise of the lecture.
4. Observe how seedy most pro

5. Make yourself comfortable
when you study. If possible, draw
up an easy chair by a window.
6. Have a few friends handy
during the study period so you
can chat when the work becomes
dull.
7. If you must study, try to
lump it all together and get it
over with. The most suitable time
would be the last week of school.
8. Keep your study table inter
esting. Place photographs, maga
zines, goldfish bowls, games and
other recreational devices all
around you while studying.
9. Use mnemonic devices on
everything you learn. Since they
are easy to forget, this approach
prevents your mind from getting
cluttered up with stale facts.
10. Never interrupt your reading
by checking on what you have
learned. Recitation is not very
pleasant anyhow, since it shows
up your deficiencies.
11. Avoid bothering with note
books. If you plan to use one any
how, so that you can draw pic
tures of airplanes during the lec
ture, try to follow the simplest
arrangement: keep all the notes
for a given day on the same sheet
of paper.
12. Remind yourself frequently
how dull the course is. Never lose
sight of the fact that you really
