THREE R’S GIVE WAY TO THREE C’S IN COLLEGIATE NEWS

Competition, Clothes and Cocktails? BY JULIA BLAXSHARD NF.A Service Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—The traditional three R's of learning—reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic —seem hopelessly old-fashioned stacked up against news from the college front. Three C’s now take the place of the old three R’s, in the conversation, if not the actual interest, of ■women collegiates. These three C’s of college talk are cocktails, clothes and competition—competition for social standing and dates! This, among other interesting flashes from the front, comes from a “professional collegiate,” the only one of her kind, Frances Lee. Miss Lee, herself only out of college a couple of years, is fashion and beauty editor of a national magazine and spends her time among girl students at different universities and colleges. She has visited 100 co-educational universities and women’s colleges, to date. Liquor First Question “One question everybody asks me is whether there is more drinking at women's colleges or at co-edu- j rational universities,” Miss Lee to]d j me. “The middle-w'estern co-ed never j fails to ask, “Do girls in the east j drink very much?” And the girl j from a woman’s college usually re- i marks, “Well, I’ll bet those co-eds | drink a lot!” Prohibition seems to : affect colleges just as it does every- j thing else.” Clothes play a much larger part ! in the life of the co-ed than the J girl in a woman’s college, in Miss ! Lee’s opinion. Dress Up for Men “There is an entirely different idea in mind when the co-ed plans her wardrobe from that that the eastern woman’s colleeg girl has,” she asserted. “At co-educational colleges girls dress for the man all the time and use make-up all the time. They go with more or less the same group of people all the time and are seen in more or less the- same setting. “So their idea is to get as many changes of costume as possible for the money they have, so they can look ‘different.’ “Girls in women’s colleges wear just any old tweed skirt and sweater blouse around the campus week days and then put all their money into one or two knock-’em-dead outfits for the week-ends when they go to football games and house parties.

No Males, No Make-up They use no make-up during the week, but week-ends make up for lost time! They go to Yale one week, Harvard the next, Princeton the next, and so they can wear that one perfect week-end wardrobe over and over again and gain a reputation for being tremendously chic and well-dressed. “There is a further difference in the attitudes in the two types of colleges,” Miss Lee continued. “In co-educational places there is a strong competition for clothes that eastern women colleges lack entirely. Fur coats and diamond rings talk in the mid-western universities. Democratic in East “At the women’s colleges, even the richest girls are not distinguishable from those attending on scholarships. For millionaire daughters leave their jewels in the family vault when they go to college and never would dream of taking their ermine coats to the college campus. There really is much more genuine democracy, it seems to me, in the exclusive women’s colleges in the effete east than in the midwestern universities.” This same holds true of social competition, Miss Lee believes. “I think the sororities are responsible for mahy a broken heart,” she told me. “A girl's entire college life is greatly affected by whether or not she makes a sorority, and the one she wants to make.

Co-Education Has Adventages “In a woman's college, a girl has more chance to stand on her own personality, without being classified as a member of this or that group.” However, co-education has many advantages, in Miss Lee’s opinion. “Co-educational universities certainly are more normal in the way they bring men and girls together on the campus daily. When the men are around all the time, week-end parties do not loom so important as they do to the girl who has no mixed social life except when she gets away from the college. “Moreover, I think that a much larger percentage of girls in the universities have a chance to go socially than girls in a woman’s college. Co-education gives girls a much better balanced existence.” MRS. FRANK ROTH IS GUEST AT PARTY Mrs. Frank Roth Jr., who w r as Miss Meda Quigg before her marriage, was honored at a miscellaneous shower Tuesday night by Mrs. Edward Hilgemeier and Mrs. Carl Quisser at the home of the former, 5608 College avenue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Overmixing, Pie Bakers ’ Worst Evil BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Pie is perhaps the most typically American of all desserts, but in too many homes the baking of it is becoming a lost art. A few years ago some dietitians regarded pie crust with much disfavor and proclaimed it as indigestible. Now, nutrition specialists tell us that well-baked pastry is as completely digested by the normally healthy individual as any other form of baked stuff. The ideal pie crust is flaky and tender. In appearance it is a golden brown color around the edge and a somewhat lighter brown on the bottom and in the center of the top crust. Its surface is rough, almost blistered, rather than smooth and firm. It should be crisp throughout. Good Pastry Not Luck Pie fillings seldom give the inexperienced baker as much trouble as the crust. Good pastry is not just' luck nor mere guess. Careful methods and accurate measuring are as essential for pie crust as for any other variety of baked dishes. There are several kinds of pastry —plain, rich and puff or French. The average pie, however, is made with plain pastry and the woman who masters this branch of pastry making can be well satisfied. A good bread flour makes a flakier crust than pastry flour. Pastry flour makes a crumbly, tender crust. Os course, either variety of flour can be used with satisfactory results. A good quality of shortening should be used, for this largely determines the flavor of the crust, j Lard or vegetable fat can be used as preferred.

Overmixing Is Fatal The proportion of fat and flour with the minimum amount of water is of great importance, but the method of mixing the ingredients also must be painstakingly observed. The tendency to overmix the materials is usually the beginner’s worst fault. With the large proportion of fat used, it is only too easy for the novice to work the constantly warming and softening fat into the flour that can not absorb enough water to make the pastry flaky. ' The skilled baker can work the shortening into the flour with her fingers, for her touch is so light and quick that it does not soften and melt the fat. The beginner will find that a pastry blender is not at hand. Toss Mixture Lightly The addition of water is another ticklish point. Too much water makes a heavy, tough dough in spite of correct proportions of fat and flour. Water must be added in such a way that it is distributed evenly among all the little flourcoated particles of fat. Toss the mixture lightly, using no pressure and adding water a little at a time until all the part&fies are dampened. Then press the dampened edges together to see if they will stick. If they remain apart, sprinkle a few more drops of water through the mixture. Always work as quickly as possible, reducing both the time and the handling of the dough to a minimum. Cold ingredients and utensils are also important factors in the making of tender, flaky pie crust.
