The Coed of the Week
LA VONNE ODDY
LA VON ODDY
Ey BERNADINE BOWMAN
In our search for a “coed of the week” we feel that we have made
a discovery in La Von Oddy, senior in physical education, and member
of Amphibians and Master Dance on the campus. Rumors had been
heard concerning this girl and her dancing abilities. She was finally
tracked down in the midst of the lockers in the women’s gym.
La Von comes here from Butler university in Indianapolis. While
on that campus she was very active besides being more than half
self-supporting. In Indianapolis she taught tap dancing at the univer
sity and performed in different clubs in the town with her dancing
partner.
It was because of the strain of
living in a large city and working
on an average of eight hours a day
that she decided to come to Ore
gon to school.
Studied With Danseuse
She has studied dancing in Chi
cago and Los Angeles, and her
teacher in Indianapolis was Anna
Ludmila, formerly with the Bal
let Russe. While in the East she
1 studied tap, ballet, and' interpre
! tive. She had never studied mod
ern dancing before she came to
Oregon.
Modern dancing, La Von now
thinks, is going to take precedence
over ballet, interpretative and oth
er similar forms of dancing. It
has a definite place in modern life
because it reflects the feelings and
movements of contemporary times,
she says. The field, so far, is be
ing pioneered, she pointed out, but
is finding its place in high schools
as well as other schools.
Potential Journalist
La Von has not always had
dancing as an ambition. The first
year she was at Butler she stud
ied journalism, and later was
pledged to Theta Sigma Phi, wo
men’s national journalism honor
ary. Although she liked this type
of work very much she decided to
change because the field seemed
to be crowded, and' in order to
make good it was necessary to
have exceptional talent.
By this time she and the Coed of
the Week Interviewer were in
formally perched on one of the
stone benches near the Pioneer
Mother.
Although 22, La Von looks
much younger. This might be ac
credited to her simplicity and in
formal manner. She was wearing
a plain green suit and bobby
socks—and' no nail polish.

socket, North Dakota, where her

Popular f *i- spring wear will be these gabardine or linen, spectator pumps trimmed with contrasting
leather. Navy blue witli white and natural with luggage tan will be especially good.
'Flower Consciousness' Sought
By Stylist; 'Nuts!' Says Writer
. “There’s as much art in wearing flowers as there is in wearing
clothes,’’ a popular stylist writes. “Both must be donned with good
taste, a sense of chic and a sense of line.”
We have always been pretty much inclined to wear what is sent
to us in the way of flowers and not complain very loudly about it.
If it isn’t our first date with the man in question We sometimes ven
ture a discreet hint such as,
“If you’re planning to send me flowers I’m going to wear a red
dress so maybe it’d be better not
to buy pink ones.”
Or, “Please don’t get me a cor
sage of roses. They give me hay
fever.”
But this, says the style author
ity is a very hap-hazard, and in
effectual, to say nothing of a stu
pid way of conducting one’s af
fairs.
“. . . it IS important that flow
ers be in keeping with the color
and the lines of your gown. . . .”
she insists and adds thaK’a corsage
of tiny Peruvian lilies to follow
the center bosom line of a gown
of Nile green lame” or “a cascad
ing arrangement of red roses” for
a full skirted dress are quite the
thing.
And what is more she advocates
that we ask for them.
Comes the revolution (a la this
“Right Flowers” booster) and co
eds will call up their dates in the
following manner:
“Hello, Joe? Well listen, Joe,
were you thinking of sending me
flowers for the prom ? . . . Oh, you
weren’t? Well listen, Joe, you
know the right flowers are just as
important as the right costume,
and I thought it might be nice for
you to have the florist send me a
right triangular bunch of Scandi
navian nasturtiums with a hypot
enuse of about six inches. This
would be just the right size for
the left hand side of my new gold
moire evening gown that is cut
low in the back and has a bouf
fant skirt. With these nastur
tiums I think you might have the
florist put in twelve South Amer
ican pansies and fasten to it a cas
cading arrangement of Peoria
marigolds. This would be very
suitable with the short sleeves in
the dress.
“Well Joe, goodbye, and thank
for the flowers. You know a girl
always wants to wear the right
flowers with the right costume.”
Personally, we’ll take two gar
denias even if they kill our most
devastating evening gown.
