that can fold up into a self- contained pouch is popular, but these coats are more for fashion and looks than for keeping dry. Then there are the slickers that come in all sorts of colors and lengths ranging from the waist to the knees. Most slickers have hoods to keep the head dry, and they are very fashion coordinated since most are reversible. Finally there is the so-called spy or Columbo raincoat, the khaki knee-length classic coat that is also worn when the sun is out but the weath- er is cool. Sometimes one might think that if the head and body are dry, everything is fine and dandy, but that is not necessarily true. The feet also have to be consid- ered when jumping from mud-puddle across cam- pus. Rubber soles are usually one's best bet in rain foot- wear, but tennis shoes are out, for canvas doesn't keep toes very dry. A new rain shoe is the duck shoe which can be coordinated with the rain coat and um- brella, since duck shoes come in all colors. Duck shoes have practically re- placed the old rubber ga- loshes worn over regular street shoes. And when one hasn't in- vested in good rainwear, sometimes a newspaper or books held over the head will do just as well in a little sprinkle. John Flanlgan, Stat! 21 RAIN
