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.”

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.

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. ;

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.

Lane county is third on the list
in the enrollment of students of the

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

one student often taking two or

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

The greatest number of corres

chainmen, barbers, cooks, loggers, |
waitresses, cheesemakers, clerks, |

occupations.
The most popular courses are Eng

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.
