Slimmer School To Have Eastern Dance Teacher Miss Christine Dobbins Has Studied Much In Germany Dean John Bovard to Give Two Courses “The *work this summer in phys ical education is going to be quite a little different from any given here before,” John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, com mented recently. “There will be no attempt to cover the whole field, but instead two types of w-ork will be presented, the kind suited especially to the inex perienced in physical education work and that planned for advanced stu dents.” Dean Bovard is enthusiastic about the work of Miss Christine Dobbins, inspector of athletics and physical education in the New York City schools, who will teach this summer at Eugene. She is expected to bring a different type of dancing to the coast. German School Studied There are now several schools of (lancing, the dean explained. Miss Dobbins is familiar with that from Germany under the guidance of Von Laban, with whom she studied^ While in Germany and Austria she also took work in several of the smaller schools. Besides, she has trained in the New York school of dancing led by Bird Larsen. She is a young woman of line per sonality, according to the impression of Dr. Bovard, who met her last April in New York. “She will carry the students away with her, and she is wonderfully prepared for the work. Our students taking the reg ular physical education course here will do well to get courses under her,” he declared. Folk Dancing Taught Elementary programs in physical education, one of her classes, is adapted to the needs of those who have had no training in the work, but who find, that they must teach it. A practical study of all kinds of programs that can be used in ele mentary schools is included. Her second class is more advanced, but still in the elementary group. It is especially for girls who know a little about the work, and covers elementary pageantry, folk dancing, and act programs. The teacher who has fortified herself with this course shonld know how to proceed if she must arrange a school exposition or a program for parents, Dean Bovard said. Miss Dobbins will give still an other course, advanced interpreta tive dancing, really a continuation of the elementary course. It is de signed for advanced students. Dean Takes Two Dean Bovard will himself conduct two classes: one, physiology of gym nastics and exercise, a study of the physiological effects of such sports as swimming, tennis, track; the other, tests and measurements, a course especially suited to those who want to know what is being done to measure-physical ability. “Very distinct things are being offered this summer,” Dean Bovard pointed out. “This advanced work under Miss Dobbins is something not available any other place on the coast, so far as I know. The course in tests and measurements, too, is given in but few institu tions.” Election (Continued from page one) staff, with further appointments to come later.

Can’t feed this campus with a mere 100 gallons of oranges, grapes, and pineapples. Not with the present heavy demand for Heavenly Hash! 8000 sandwiches—just a mat ter of some 300 loaves—were consumed side by side with 100 gallons of pretty pink punch. Thirty-two hams, 50 pounds of raisins and nuts, and seven gallons of miscellaneous spread were represented in the sand wiches. As for the number of individ ual pickles and olives, the cen sus-taker gave up in despair; but en masse they boasted ten gallons each. Must have been many a love-lorn in the crowd! The 2000 paper cups had to be supplemented with tin tumblers. Anyway, one couldn’t expect waxed cardboard to carry away 25 pounds of coffee dissolved in 50 gallons of steaming hot water. The green and yellow teeth freezers? Those were bricks, 300 strong, but powerless to cool the campus collegians.

He will have charge of a new system to boost circulation next year. He was circulation man ager of the Emerald last year and also served his time as circulation manager of the Oregana for a year. A new advertising-mat service has been ourchased. Pictures, and lots of them, will also be run in the newspaper to brighten up the make up. Larger and better coverage of the local advertising field by his corps of “leg-men” otherwise known as advertising salesmen, will be featured. Graduating students and those enrolled in the extension division of the University will be canvassed in an effort to raise the circulation figures. HYSTERICAL (Cornell Daily Sun)—The Princeton furor about Dean Gauss and his automobile ban has died away exeept for an occa sional report of some waggish stu dent meeting his prom guest with a horse and buggy, but the fever has now struck Ann Arbor, where the faculty is threatening to ban stu dent-owned ears from the campus of the University of Michigan. A pasty accident recently brought to the attention of the university au thorities the fact that the automo bile regulations, chiefly the one re quiring registration of studelnt owned ears, are not being enforced. President Little immediately threat ened to do away with such automo biles altogether, and no doubt, goad ed into a state of excitement by the editorial opposition of the Michigan Daily, made a rather impassioned address last Sunday about student responsibility in which he pictured in emotional language his visit to the victims of the accident—which I he somehow managed to blame upon the lack of student responsibility at Michigan. President Little’s speech has a slightly hysterical ring in it. After all, accidents, even automobile ac cidents, have been known to occur to drivers who were not university students, and dreadful as such an accident is when it comes as near home as the one at Michigan, it is unfortunate to allow its significance to grow out of all proportion. As a matter of fact, automobile accidents are relatively rare in college circles. It will be unfortunate if Michigan allows itself to be stampeded into forbidding students to own cars. r, Here’s an Idea - - —Slabwood is a good, eco nomical fuel—it furnishes cheap heat. —Our service is right - - We believe in promptness. —Order your winter’s sup ply of wood now. Phone 452 Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. Office 5th and Willamette, Phone 452 Old Board Served Thomas Condon To Announce First Geology Class Relic of Oregon’s Premiere in New Field R e c a 11 s | Memories of ‘Grand Old Man’ “A goodly enrollment of the class in general geology enables us to an nounce that the opening lecture of the work may be expected on Thurs day at 11 o’clock.” So reads a framed piece of black board above the door in the geo graphy laboratory in Condon hall. It is a queer old relic, merely a board painted black, about 30 inches long and 15 wide, probably used as a bulletin board long ago. The writ ing is in the clear, yet slightly quavering hand of an old man, Thomas Condon, one of the founders of the University of Oregon. Little is known of the history of this board. For many years it rest ed obscure in a store room of Vil lard. About twelve years ago, it was framed by Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, to be preserved as a memorial of Dr. Condon. He probably wrote it in 1905, the last year in which he taught in the University. One can imagine .the old man as he wrote that, standing there in the hallway of Villard, his long beard flowing over his chest, and the chalk trembling in his enfeebled hand. He knew that his career was draw ing to a close, but his eyes shone with the thought that he was yet able to teach his beloved geology. In a room a short distance away was his marvelous collection of fos sils: the tooth of an elephant, the vertebrae of horses, the foot of a camel, all of which came from i dwellers of Oregon millions of years j ago. Perhaps, when he stood there, Dr. ! Condon had let his mind run baelc I over the years. Perhaps he had ! thought of the small boy in Ire- 1 land, who explored with interest the limestone quarry back of his home; of the Congregationalist minister at The Dalles, who was interested in | rocks and who discovered the fam ous John Day fossil beds; of the professor in Pacific University; the member of the first faculty of the University of Oregon, who for thir ty years had taught his students of science and its bearing on life. Thomas Condon has been dead twenty years, but his memory yet lives in the hearts of Oregon men and women. Behind him as a mem orial remains this bit of handwrit ing, and his collection of fossils and studies on the geology of the north west which he served for three decades, and which today retains his spirit. ; As Others See it Harold Mangum (Portland Telegram) The drowning of Harold Mangum, student of the University of Ore gon, is a tragedy. Here was a youth of 23, vigorous in mind and body, a leader among his fellows, per forming a large part in the life of the university and promising much for the community in the larger life w-ithout its walls, swept in a moment to an all too early death. Next year he was to have been editor of the Emerald, the college newspaper, having been recently elected to that position by the near ly unanimous vote of the student body, in recognition for his bril liant performance of less conspicu ous tasks. His death comes as a crushing blow to his student companions and will be felt as distinct loss to the entire state, which properly expects from such as he rich fruits of cit izenship in the years to come. The Telegram extends to the Em erald, to the university and to the young man’s family, assurance of its sympathetic regret that so splen did. an example of young American manhood should be lost at the very threshold of accomplishment. Fate Intervenes (Washington Daily) News from Oregon of the death of Harold Mangum, editor-elect of the Oregon Emerald and a prom inent athlete and student at that university, comes as a severe blow to not only his friends here, but to all Washington. “A sensational piece of news,” would be the first words likely to fall from the lips of any newspaper man, but there is something more than this thought that disquiets the mind of the Daily editor. The hope and expectancy with which Harold Mangum looked for ward to his duties as incoming edi tor, the tremendous appeal which the work held for his heart, prob ably never will be realized by his schoolmates. In the incipient stage of his administration, he probably was filled to the brim with secret joy over the prospects of his new position. And then fate intervened and snuffed out the light. Oregon is mourning today over their loss, and there are those at Washington who are affected just as deeply. To Oregon we send our condolence and most heartfelt sym pathies. ‘Classified Ads LOST—On Hayward field a foun tain pen with the name Jerry Denslow engraved on it.

I ■ 1 w ri PHONE 246 * I Correspondence Students Number 1241 in 1926-27 Persons Between 14 and 82 Years Take Work During Year Lane county is third on the list in the enrollment of students of the University of Oregon correspon dence course. Multnomah county comes first with Marion and Lane counties next. .Tackson, Douglas, Coos, and Umatilla counties follow in order. During 1926 and continuing to the 1927 term the enrollment con sisted of 1241, with every county in the state represented. These 1241 students registered in 1673 courses, one student often taking two or three courses. During the year they | sent in a total of 16,994 lesson I papers. They completed 786 courses representing 2286 term hours of uni- i versify credit, or an amount equiva lent to that earned by 152 students in a regular term on the campus, or by 254 students in summer session. The significance of the amount of work done by these correspondence students is realized when one takes into consideration that practically all of them are busy people, study ing in their spare time. The greatest number of corres pondents are teachers, students, and homemakers. Others are packers, 1 chainmen, barbers, cooks, loggers, | waitresses, cheesemakers, clerks, | bookkeepers, stenographers, minis- ! ters, dressmakers, and many other occupations. The most popular courses are Eng lish, education, literature, history, and mathematics. These courses at tract people between the ages of 14 years and 82 years. The majority of students, however, are between the ages of 18 and 35 years.
