The classic book on living as a student is "The Impoverished Student's Guide to Eatery, Drinkery, and House Keepery." It has advice on everything from day-to-day life to entertaining your favorite Prof., and is written in a glib, chatty style. Unfortunately, it's out of print. A quote from the section on beverages follows: WATER There's always water. If you can find a used copy, you'll be lucky. Tim Drabik Seasoned Student UCSD Applied Physics ...sdcc6!ix826

That's "Cookery", not "Eatery". I agree that it's a classic. My favorite line from it (possibly paraphrased): "It is difficult, though not impossible, to misuse garlic." I don't have my copy in front of me, but I think it was published by the Reed College Alumni Association, and distributed by Doubleday. It may be possible to get it back in print by starting a write-in campaign to one or the other. -- Morris M. Keesan keesan@bbn-unix.ARPA {decvax,ihnp4,etc.}!bbncca!keesan

Keesan > keesan@bbn-unix.ARPA > {decvax,ihnp4,etc.}!bbncca!keesan *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** "The Impoverished Student's Guide to Cookery, Drinkery, and Housekeepery" is still sold here at the Reed College Bookstore, cost about $1.50. The inside cover says it's published by the Reed College Alumni Association and by Arcady Press, Portland, Oregon. I guess writing the bookstore would be the best way to get it. It is indeed a classic. Todd Ellner Box 335 Reed College Portland, OR 97202
