'GOOD TO THE LAST DROP':
Turkish Coffee Poured in 'Hideaway'
CAMPUS CALENDAR
By JIM DYGERT
Someone told me there was still
a Turkish coffee house in Ann
Arbor.
So I took a couple of friends
to help me investigate the place
which was reportedly located at
113% N. Main St.
But we couldn't find any 1131/2
N. Main St. Not until we asked a
fellow in one of the block's many
taverns did we learn that a plain
green door did indeed open upon
a stairway leading upward to the
Ann Arbor Coffee House, the city's
last Turkish coffee shop.
From upstairs came the sound
of chuckling voices, reminiscent
of a pool hall, but more subdued.
One floor up on our left was a
screen door, that opened on a
room where two foursomes, all
men, were drinking coffee and
playing cards.
Before we had a chance to look
over the place, a thin man in a
brown suit and wearing a hat came
from the rear of the room to find
what we wanted. He was James
Grapsas, proprietor.
Yes, this was a Turkish coffee
house, Yes, it was the only one in
Ann Arbor. Would we like some
coffee?
He steered us toward one of the
six tables but we hesitated to see
how the coffee was made. When
we questioned him about it, he
said he was just going to have a
cup himself and would show us
how it was made.
He dug a spoonful of finely
powdered coffee from a canister
and dumped it into a metal cup
and duplicated the process with
sugar. After pouring what seemed1
only a dash of water into the mix-
ture, he set the cup in a pan of
heated sand. Suddenly, the coffee
-was boiling.
Once we had sat down we had
a chance to look around. The
place was all atmosphere. It was
just a plain room, with plain
tables, plain chairs, even plain
hooks along two walls for coats.

TURKISH COFFEE-James Grapsas, proprietor of Ann Arbor's
remaining Turkish coffee house, pours from the metal cup he
had just taken from the hot sand on the stove. He has been sell-
ing Turkish coffee here since 1937.

The only things that seemed
out of place were the coke machine
near the door and the cigarette
dispenser by the front windows.
Everything else looked as if it
must have been the same when
the shop opened in 1937.
The coffee tasted sweet and dry,
like hot chocolate except for the
chocolate flavor. It seemed to last
a long time, sipping it from the
tiny cups.
Where did the coffee come from?
From Detroit, Grapsas said. This
was too much. The romantic bub-
ble had burst.
We got up to leave, stopping
only to learn that Grapsas serves
mostly regular customers, is 671
years old, and came to this coun-
try from Greece 46 years ago.
CHICAGO (Special)-Now every
student can learn to zip through
reading assignments quickly and
easily, actually read difficult study
material twice as fast with complete
understanding. The secret is an
amazing new simple technique, de-
veloped by Steven Warren of
Chicago's famed Foundation for
Better Reading.
Although most students are slow
word-by-word readers, this new
proven method helps anyone pick
up speed, says the noted educator.
Poor reading habits can cost you too
much study time, make exams
harder, cause disappointing grades,
and keep you from essential social
activities.
To acquaint student readers of
this paper with this miraculous new
technique for better reading, full de-
tails are described in a fascinating
booklet, "How You Can Read Bet-
ter, Faster.Easier." It will be mailed
free to anyone who requests it. No
obligation. Address: Mr. iSteven
Warren, President, Dept. 9264,
Foundation for Better Reading;
