Coed's Normal Diet Rather Unbalanced
By JANE PECINOVSKY
Coffee, cokes, candy, potato chips. "goodies" from home, and midnight and in-between-meal snacks make the diet of college girls the most unusual and unbalanced of any age group.
In order to obtain a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning many girls skip breakfast and either go without the most important meal or take a cup of coffee or a drink at a cake cup of coffee or a班 between their morning classes.
Lunch is also forgotten at times if an important test is scheduled in the afternoon and often a coke and candy bar while cramming substitutes for the noontime meal.
"Ordering out" at midnight or in the early morning hours is popular with the girls at the dormitories, halls, and sorority houses. They want to order out frequently yelled in the halls and a coed with pencil and paper in hand lists what each girl wants to order.
She then calls the sometimes lengthy and confused order to a restaurant and instructs a taxi to bring it to her. By obtaining numerous orders the taxi fare per girl can be reduced to a small amount.
It is always a happy occasion when a mother sends cookies or cake to her daughter, and while the food remains, the girl's room is always the most popular in the house or hall. "There will be a party in my room at closing hours!" is echoed through the halls, and those who are invited consider themselves fortunate.
Food is found in the rooms not only after a mother has sent a shoe box of "goodies" but also after a girl has been to town. Bakery pastries, crackers, and cheese are in evidence on dressers, desks, and closet shelves, and during cold weather apples and oranges are placed on the window ledges.
Hot plates are an important addition to the room furnishings, and coffee, pop corn, and even soup can be prepared on them. Girls, upon sniffing an unmistakable odor of butter or grease and salt, go quickly up and down the halls, opening doors, and asking, "Where is it?" Upon discovery, the coeds reach their destination—the room in which corn is being popped.
Candy bars and potato chips are perfect afternoon snacks when classes have been difficult and tiring, and give girls an excellent excuse for gaining weight. These do not add to the girls' figures, but also add facial blemishes to their complexions.
While most residences do not have coffee machines, the coke machines are second in popularity only to those containing cigarettes. The rooms and halls are often cluttered with empty coke bottles, and usually it is a certain girl's duty each week to gather them and return them to the cases in the basement.
These foods, plus the meals served in the halls and houses constitute the diet of the average college girls—at least until she goes home for some of her mother's home cooked meals!
Novel Cotton Prints Are Popular for Summer
By UNITED PRESS
If it's cotton this summer, nine times out of 10 it also is a print.
Prints—geometric, floral and novelty will dominate in warm weather fashions.
Just about everything under and including the sun will appear in prints this summer.
Cotton prints of all kinds have been shown this spring in fashion shows. Some prints lean heavily toward miniature rosebuds; other prints are novelty prints such as chickens in the barnyard; and still others have come under the Oriental influence.
Somewhere between, the woman shopping for summer cottonts and linens will find the gardening, farming, travel and hobby theme. There also are prints featuring sea shells, safety pins, calypso music-makers, and puppets.
Prints are combined frequently with solid shades, but always the solid matches the sharpest or predominant color of the print to give what the manufacturers call "the well-planned look."
Printed shorts are featured with solid-color blouses for active sportswear. For spectator and street wear, the solid suit with box jacket and printed blouse, or jumper with print blouse are shown. Incidentally, without the blouse, the jumper doubles as a sun dress.
The fabric range is greater than ever this spring. Leaders are poplins, cotton sharkskin, crinkled cotton seersucker, denim, linen, rayon and acetate sharkskin, and for suits nubby-weave slik blends.
The long-sleeved tail shirt to be worn as an over-blouse, with or without the belt; suggested for shorts, or when in dressy fabrics, for wear over a slim, pleated skirt. The shirts are in bold stripes or plaids.
Other highlights from summer fashions shown this spring;
The shirtwaist dress. This dress has been featured both for spectator sports and dress-up. It is shown with three-quarter or long sleeves, in volles, dimites, tissue weight silks, cotton pongee, and dacron
Along with dresses for summer and the fabric and design that goes into them, accessories must be considered.
The handbag is the most im-
important of the accessories for the bright summer dress.
Look for the basket handbag to continue as a favorite accessory with summer cottonts. One line features fruit and flower decorations almost realistic enough to pick.
Typical of this group, made from outsize baskets imported from Madeira, is a huge square basket enamelled in gay yellow and ornamented with miniature oranges and lemons. It comes with a coordinated belt of clear plastic with a cluster of the oranges and lemons hiding the fastening. Another, called strawberry partait, is enamelled white and covered with lacquered strawberries.
The basket bags can be worn not only for informal occasions but also for town wear.
The state of Iowa processed more than two billion pounds of dressed meat during 1954, leading the nation.

All of us have small keepsakes scattered around in various jewelry boxes or drawers. Most of us wouldn't part with a single item although most of it looks like useless tarnished junk to others.
The items that are so valuable to us range from girl scout pins, baby lockets, and pledge pins to honor keys.
Keepsakes Can Be Practical
The valuables that are so scattered about aren't any good to any- girl. They get busy and do something with them one smart girl on the campus did?
Marilyn Sorem, education senior, activities chairman, planned and directed the show.
Members who participated in the program are Beverly Warner, education sophomore; Mary Virginia Zook and Judie Morgan, education juniors; Nancy Wells, Sue Kerbay, Charlene McCoy, and Joan Ryan, college sophomores; Dianne Hollis, journalism junior; Billie Mallory, fine arts senior, and Carolyn Phillips, education senior.

In four days she had her keepsakes back in bracelet form. As charms on a bracelet they proved to be unusual, interesting to others, and more useful to her.
If you prepare your own quick mixes for baking, paste directions for the different quantities on the container.
After accumulating trinkets for about 20 years, she had them made into a charm bracelet. Five years were spent in collecting more trinkets and considering the project after she thought of having the bracelet made. Finally she bought a heavy gold link bracelet, collected her treasurers, and went to a jeweler with her project.
Actually we won't need to wait 20 or even five years to get around to having an interesting bracelet made. We all have trinkets collected that we can take to a jeweler tomorrow to have made into a bracelet. The cost depends upon the number of charms and those to have catches taken Off the back. The girl who recently had one made had 16 charms made into a bracelet for $6.50. Besides having rings soldered on most of hers, she has to have the catches taken off.
