Cheaper Coffee
fs Possible - But
By Associated Press
For several hundred years now,
a mericans have been working lip
m bigger thirst for coffee, but
they’re whittling it down because
there's less coffee.
Jack Frost put the finger on our
coffee supply. He nipped a lot of
trees last July 4th. A.s the supply
later went down, the price has
gone up, according to the well
known law of supply and demand.
The rise in price is. of course,
-only relative. Most coffee is sell
ing for more than $1 a pound. On
the other hand, an old coffee
drinker from way back—William
Penn of Philadelhpia—is reputed
~to have paid $4.68 a pound for his
-coffee.
The situation has set a lot of
-contemporary coffee drinkers to
Booking for ways to get coffee
•cheaper. One way would be to
grow your own.
A tree known formally as “Gym
a.ocladus Dioicus,” and more fa
sniliarly as the Kentucky coffee
tree, grows well from New York
westward to Nebraska and Okla
homa. and south to middle Ten
nessee. In colonial days, its seeds
are said to have been used as a
-substitute for coffee.
A pound of these seeds costs
about 85 cents at most seed
houses.
But before you plant a coffee
tree, it may be pointed out that
we don’t know anybody who has
ever tasted a brew made from its
-seeds. And Dr. Arthur Graves of
the Connecticut agricultural ex
periment station says he’s not even
o are the stuff would be altogether
harmless.

Law Students, Not
Sign Painters, Own
Those Crazy Hats
Dig those crazy hats!
No, a painters' union hasn't
invaded the Oregon campus. The
group wearing those small white
cups on campus Thursday was
composed of law students, who
threw away their traditional
dignity to Indulge In a little
frivolity away from the confines
of Fenton hall.
They haven't said, but we
suspect it Is their mute protest
against the combination of fine
spring weather and midterms,
campus elections, Junior Week
end and campus activities in
general, which the future bar
risters usually 'try to avoid.
The hats are not exactly an
innovation on campus. In past
years, law students have worn
the painters’ caps during their
annual law school weekend
spring term. No formal celebra
tion for law school weekend Is
planned this year.

LOOK FOR POLKA DOTS
Current College Co-eds
Cater to Cool Cottons
By Marlene Scot!
Emvrald Foalura Writer
Cotton is the word for thtH sea
son's college co-ed. from her swim
ming suit and sport clothes to her
dressiest dress. Outfitted alwayH
in this fabric, says Margaret
Verran, local fashion expert, she
will lie smartly and appropriately
dressed for any occasion.
The campus scene is now gayer
than ever before, with both prints
and plain colors shouting "the
brighter the better." Bold and
modern abstract-figured prints
give some fashion-hunters a slight
shock at first. However, they find
that them? are really fun to wear.
1,00k for Polka Dots
Look for polka dot trim to give
simpler spring styles the freshest
look ever. You'll find these new,
vivid dots also in smart, complete
outfits.
Pr.nceas and empress lines arc
among the most flattering in new
dress styles. Besides these two
new lines, many variations of the
cver-popular shirtwaist dress are
seen in all types of our fabric
I cotton from novelty sheers, dain
ty dimities and batistes to shiny,
polished cottons, chintz, and heav
ier denims.
Separates are as important and
| practical in the wardrobe as al
ways. Remember the motto, “mix
and match;" it's still a good one
to follow. This year a new novelty
fabric and outfit have appeared
in this department. It’s the squaw
skirt, shown largely in contrast
ing plain colors.
It reminds us of the old dirndle
broomstick skirt, and makes use
of a new. permanently crinkled
fabric. After washing, the skirt is
rolled up and stuck Into a nylon
stocking to dry. And wonder of
wonders, you'll have a cotton out
fit without ironing!

Following our fabric, * cotton,
into the sports clothees picture,
we find it truly dominating the
selection of swimming suits for
the very first time. From light
and gay to bold and exotic prints, j
these suits are cut to flatter any
shape. Bloomer-type suits are the
newest found here. The sleek,
tailored lastex suit is still very Im
portant. though, and the brand
new lines and colors of these
should definitely not be over

beach towels are put out by many

Pedal pushers, ^shorts, blouse

in matching outfits which can L •

the practical as well as smurt

Polka Dots Again
Loud, gay “crazy pants." with
bright stripes and polka dots
again evident, have resulted from
the recent popularity of drossier
pedal pushers. The kiltie style of
shorts, reviving the skirt effect,
is especially Important, you'll see,
along with Bermuda sorts.
Have a good time wearing cot

originality of styles make it more
fun to wear than ever before!
