Coed Clothesline
By Ida Pack and Pat Rice
With the beginning of formal house dances, a preview of fall and
winter formal fashions has been given. These season's, as always,
will present many beautiful evening dresses and accessories.
Again this year satins rate high in popularity. This beautiful
fabric is delicious, delightful and d’lovely in aqua, rose, champagne, ice
blue and canary yellow. Any co-ed could be proud to be wearing such
a rich-looking formal.
Apparently, formal attire as far as fabric is concerned has varied
slightly in the last few years. Taffeta is one of the older and still very
popular fabrics. Colors ranging from black, forest green, maroon, royal
blue to the pastels can be seen in the taffetas. Soft lights enhance the
changeable colorings in this material.
Velvet and brocade also rate attention in the parade of formals.
Royal velvet and demure brocade are wearable in practically all
shades and styles.

At Recent Dances
By
Norma Hultgen
House dances were definitely in order on campus last week
end. Bight houses were in the swing of things by having almost
everything from formal dances to jeans-and-plaid-shirts-affairs.
‘Tlapper Daze" was the theme of the Thetas' dance. The wo
men wore flapper costumes (those glamorous dresses which are
short m front and long in back, with the waist ending at the
hips—they were quite the thing in Mother’s day), and the men

Plans Career
In Journalism

“But I haven't clone anything
exciting. I haven't traveled to
Europe or attended any conven
tions or anything,’’ exclaimed
Lorna Larson, Kwama president.
Maybe Miss Larson has never
been to Europe but she most cer
tainly hasn’t been sitting on the
sidelines watching the world go by.
At one time Miss Larson had
plans of becoming a research
chemist. After working on the
Portland Oregonian for four years,
.printers ink set in and her desire
now is to write for a daily news
paper, first gaining experience on
a small weekly.
As chief night editor, desk ed
itor, and reporter on the Emerald,
Miss Larson is receiving a valuable
background for her future profes
sion. Her Chi Omega soroyity sis
ters definitely approve of her life
work but complain, “we never see
Lorna anymore. Either she is hid
ing out down at the Emerald or
is rushing around on some com
mittee.’’
Besides work on the Emerald
Miss Larson is doing special as
signments on the Oregana and
writing for Old Oregon. With
Homecoming just a matter of
weeks off it is natural that this
coed is working feverishly as co
chairman of publicity and promo
tion.
To most people winning a schol
arship would have been the most
wonderful thing that could happen
to a girl. Miss Larson almost for
got to mention reoeiving the Aaron
Frank scholarship presented each
year to an outstanding senior in
an Oregon high school. She admits
it was quite an honor but her mind
was really on mountain climbing.
Seems Miss Larson is a moun
tain climber from way back and
enjoys it immensely. She doesn’t
have much time for climbing now
with studies and activities, but
home in Portland she belongs to a
mountain climbing club, the Maz
amas. When asked where she first
found her love of the sport Miss
Larson answered, “Maybe the fact
that I lived on the side of a hill
and had to walk three and a half
miles to school each day had some
thing to do with it.” Her ambitions
are to climb Mount Rainier this
summer and to drive the Alcan
Highway all the way to Alaska.

18-year-old Miss Larson can be

came decked out in knickers
and Hat-top hats. They went all
out for the “roaring 20’s" doing
the Charleston and even using
bicycles for their transporta
tion.
The house was decorated out
side as an old abandoned theater.
Inside, though, it was a speakeasy
—a gambling room complete with
roulette wheel.
I>il’s HAVK FORMAL
The Delta Gammas’ theme was
Top of the Town." It was formal,
and the house was decorated as a
nightclub. A green and white strip
ped canopy covered the front walk.
The living room was called the
"Star-Light Roof,” and was deco
rated with large figures of a man
and woman dancing, angel hair,
and glittering stars.
The Zebra Room represented the
cocktail lounge, with a bar built
around' a mirror. The punch was
served in this room. A five-piece
orchestra provided the music.
Alpha Hall had their dance in
Gerlinger annex. "Blue Moon” was
the theme, which was carried out.
by decorations of blue crepe-paper.
Sparkling stars hung from the ceil
ing, and blue and white streamers
added to the effect. The main at
traction was a large moon which
sparkled in the dim light. Blue bal
loons added the finishing touches
to the decorations. It was a semi
formal affair.
wtuu KANCH THEME
"A X Dude Ranch” was the Al
pha Xi Delta theme. The house was
transformed into a ranch house,
with a cream separator, a milk
churn, and milk cans decorating
the corners of the rooms. Adding
to the rustic look was a rough fence
and bales of hay at the front of the
house. Lanterns gave light to the
entrance. Levis and plaid shirt3
and cotton skirts and blouses were
worn in regular dude-ranch-style.
The Alphi Chi dance was formal
with the theme, “Some Enchanted
Evening.” The living room was
made into a park, with old fash
ioned street lamps and park bench
es. At one end of the room was a
scene of a big city at night. Stars
hung from the ceiling, which gave
the impression of night time. A
wishing well added enchantment to
the theme. The stairway was deco
rated with angel hair and silver,
which made it look as if it were
coming out of a cloud.
Herb Widmer’s orchestra played
for the dance. In back of the orch
estra was a large sheet of of the
‘‘Some Enchanted Evening” music.
The Delta Zeta house was decorat
ed as a barn at night for the
theme, “Harvest Hoedown.” A rail
fence surrounded the house, and
corn shocks, a scarecrow, and
pumpkins in the front yard carried
out the theme. Blue crepe lined the
walls of the living room, with stars
and a full moon. The den was the
barn, containing horse stalls and
saddles. Peasant skirts and blouses
and levis and flashy shirts were
worn. The Delta Zetas and their
