Oregon Summer Session is in Heart of Oregon Outdoors
Summer Course
To Tell Sky’s
Many Wonders
Dr. Oliver J. Lee, Noted
Astronomer, Has Food
For Imagination
Those who arc fond of travel will
got many thrills out of astronom
ical journeys beyond the milky way
into the depths of the universe, if
they take Dr. Oliver J. Dec’s sum
mer course,in astronomy. When Dr.
Leo lectured at the University of
Oregon campus a short time ago, the
imaginations of his audience were
taxed to the utmost in their efforts
to follow' him into the realms of
space where, with light traveling
at 186,000 miles a Second, stellar
distances are measured in light
years.
During the lecture fascinating
photographs of stellar and solar
pihenomena were thrown on the
screen. Stars thousands of times as
large as our sun; shoals of star dust,
blacker than the blackest midnight;
solar explosions that shoot flames
three hundred thousand miles into
space; and dark stars with a density
sc-vonteen thousand times as great
as water, Were 6nly a few of the
surprising facts which he discussed
in the course of his talk.
Star Evolution Told
The evolution of a star is now
pretty well known, thanks to the
revelations made by the photograph
ing lease and the spectrum. The
oldest and largest members of the
star family are the flaming red ones,
while the infants, or those now in
the process of creation, are seen as
ncbulue.
The bluish white stars arc the hot
test. But ns soon as contraction
has increased the density of the gus
beyond a. certain point, the temper
ature begins to fall and the color
changes to yellow. Then the star
Das entered the dwarf stage, or that
to which our sun belongs. • Witji the
lapse of millions of years' the star
finally turns to a deep red. The
passing of a few more million years
brings entire extinction of light and
the body has become a cold and
solid globe, perhaps like our earth.
The life cycle of a star varies with
its clu|iicnl constituents and prob
ably all dead stars are not similar.
But some dark stars like the invis
ible companion of Sirius liuvc
reached a Hinge of density in which
the atoms have lost their electrons.
This condition permits a condensing
of matter so great that one cubic
inch of it weighs a ton.
uosmic Dust to bo Explained
To those who want to know how
astronomers discover facts like
these, Dr. Lee will explain it all at
tla summer session in Portland. Hi'
will also tell about nebulae and
cosmic star dust.
Spirul nebulae with Dicir pockets
of black star dust are even more
interesting than dying suns, for the
nebulae are new stars in the process
ef creation', or perhaps new solar
systems swinging in a haze of cosmic
dust. The spiral nebula in the con
stellation of Andromeda has been
known and studied for two thoflsaml
years, but the spiral nebular hypo
thesis is of quite recent origin and
resulted partly from studying the
photographic plates.
Another curious phenomenon re
vealed by photography is the im
mense drifts of black star dust
probably cosmic material, awaiting
the energizing spark which will set
it evolving into new stars by way
of the nebula workshop. Dr. Lee
will show slides in which the
stars stand out from patches of
blackness, as deep as black velvet.
Course Non-mathomatical
One class in the summer course is
a detailed study of the solar system
and is largely uon-mathematical. At
least One evening a week wilt be
spent in studying the heavens. The
stellar system is the subject of the
other class and is a study of the
stars and nebulae of space, their
nature, motions and relations. It is
also chiefly iron-mathematical and
students will find it to their pleasure
as well as their profit to take both
courses.
J>r. Oliver Justin Lee was for three
years assistant professor of practical
astronomy at the Yerkes observatory
of Chicago t'niversitv. lie is a fel
low of both the KtiN.il Astronomical
Society of Loudon and of the Amer
ican Association for the Advance
mint of Science, to name only two of
the most important astronomical
societies to which he belongs, lie
is the author of over fifty notes,
articles, and monographs giving the
results of researches in stellar spec
troscopy, solar (diysles, stellar paral

Mrs. Sharp Begins
Boosting Boat Trip
Mrs. Margaret M. Sharp, secretary
of Portland Center, has already
Mrs. Sharp
Degun to agitate
ithe “boat trip.’'
This is the big rec
reational event .of
the session at Port
land. One of the
biggest of the riv
er boats is chart
ered and. several
pleasant hours are
spent in cruising
down the Willam
ette and up 'the
Columbia. Mrs.
Sharp is expected to criticise tins
section because it contains no pic
ture of the boat. This will be run at
a later date. All those who make the
boat trip one year are counted on
for the next if in hailing distance.
Mrs. Sharp has been with the Port
land Center as secretary for nearly
ten years, and each year since that
time the “boat trip” has grown big
ger and more enjoyable.
Course Attracts
Lab Technicians
Eight-hour Daily Program
To Last Ten Weeks
1.
Training in the technic of all the
diagnostic tests carried out in the
routine of physicians’ and hospital
laboratories and of those of state
and municipal health departments is
the aim of the laboratory techni
cians’ course to be given during the
summer session at the school of med
icine on Marqunm hill, Portland.
Enthusiastic, response from within
and without the state has made the
course possible, according to Alfred
Powers, dean of the extension divi
sion. An enrollment of at least ten
was . necessary before the course
could be guaranteed.
A detailed study of 'the chief
disease-producing bacteria, with spe
cial emphasis upon the character
istics necessary for the identifica
tion of specific organisms will be
included in the course. Training in
the preparation of culture mediums
and the production of diagnostic
serums and vaccines lias also been
planned.
Special attention is to be given
to the technic of serological tests,
including the Widal and Wassermann
and Kalin reactions. A brief study
will be devoted to the more impor
tant animal parasites of man, especi
ally as to their demonstration in
pathological material.
Practical working details of the
: tests will receive emphasis through
I out (lie season rather than their
I fundamental scientific basis. Med
j ical and other scientific terminology
I that will enable the students to he
i freely conversant about the work
land to obtain a broader knowledge
through outside study will he taught,
and a list of available published in
formation sources will be given.
The eight-hour a day program "of
ten weeks duration will consist of
bacteriology, serology and immun
ology, publjic health bacteriology,
parasitology, clinical chemistry, and
hematology. Emphasis is to he
placed upon the laboratory hours, of
which there will be. ,’i-0 as opposed
to the 1-0 hours devoted to lectures1
and quizzes.
The fee of $150 includes laboratory
fees and all other items except text
books. (iradiiation from an accredit
ed higli school and the completion
of a preparatory course in chemistry
are prerequisites for admission to
tlie course, in which no part-time
students will be enrolled.
Harry .1. Hears, professor of bac
teriology ami president of the Ore
gon branch of the Society of Ameri
can Bacteriologists, will ho a member
of the faculty, as will Clinton 11.
Thienes, M.l).t l’h.D., assistant pro
fessor of pharmacology, ami William

Dean of College Will Teach
Two Courses In Economics
During t li o regular
University year, Dr.
James JI. Gilbert’s
duties as dean of the
college of literature, sci
ence, and the arts leave
him little time for teacli
, ing. With that heavy
routine much lightened
in the summer session,
Dean Gilbert will handle
two classes in economics.
One in principles and
the other in banking
and crises. The third
course in economics in
summer session will be
railway economies, to be
taught by Assistant
Professor Donald M.
Erb. Post-war interna
tional economic, problems
will be handled in post
session by Assistant Pro
fessor Victor Morris.

"Sun” To Beam For Students Via
Efforts of Summer Journalists
Ancestry Includes Typed,
Posted Bulletins
Now York lias its Times, Portland
its Oregonian, the University its
Emerald, and the Summer Session
its Sun.
It lias come to he a real news
paper, this Summer Session Sun.
Back in 1918 it was printed twice a
week, but it was a small, three-col
umn affair. In 1921, when it was
called the “Acta Diurna,” and 1922,
it never came nearer a printing press
than the typewriter^ and the sheets
were posted daily in front of the
main library. While this arrange
ment literally made the subscriber
find his way to the paper instead of
the paper find its way to the sub
scriber, it nevertheless worked well
for two whole summers.
A publication of this nature was
without limit when it came to illus
trations. Snapshots and photographs
of all kinds were pasted, with titles
proper or otherwise, wherever their
presence was deemed advantageous.
There was one drawback. Tire Sun
could not afford to keep a guard on
duty day and night and these snap
shots and photos had a habit of dis
appearing.
For the past few summers the Sun
lias been an honest-to-goodiless
printed newspaper. It ha3 been en
larged, and it is now published reg
ularly every week on the presses of
the University printing shop.
The Sun practically fills the place
cf the Emerald during the summer
months. It prints items of interest
to summer session students and all
campus news in general. The staff
of the Sun is recruited from the
summer journalism classes.
Besides having their own publica
tion, students have opportunities to
see their work in print in the Eu
gene and Portland dailies. Writing
for city dailies has received in
creased attention on the part of the
journalism faculty this year, and
its success is expected to carry it on
through the summer months.
Summer Enrolment
Has Rapid Growth
SUMMER session in 1927 num
bered 1,234 students, 670 in
Portland and 564 in Eugene, in
contrast with the first summer
session records, which show a
total'number, in 1915, of 183.
Attendance at Oregon's summer
session doubled several times in
the years from 1915 to 1927. The
increase was fairly steady, ex
cept. in 1917, when there was a
jump from the slightly over two
hundred of the year before to
604; in 1920 the total enrollment
dropped from seven hundred to
six hundred; hut'since then at
tendance increased until, in 1927,
students enrolled both at Eugene
and at Portland, for the summer
session alone, numbered 1,231.
Student Has Article
Printed in Magazine
The April issue of the Oregon
Law Review, contained an article
written by Helen Louise Crosby, the
only girl in the second-year law
class at the University, on the re
cent Oregon case of Osluirn v. Do
Force. Miss Crosby received her
15 A. degree last June. It is un
usual to have an article written by
a girl, in the law school, printed in
the Law Review.

Graduate School
Shows Growth
Enrollment More Than
Doubled Since 1921
“Graduate students are usually
more numerous in the summer scan
sion than during the regular term,
because of the great many teachers
who make deliberate plans for ad
vanced work for degrees and find
the summer their only time for such
work. Numerous men from other
colleges also enroll,” said George
Rebec, dean of the graduate school.
The number of graduate students
enrolled for summer work has been
mounting, with slip-backs in 1923
and 1925, since 1921, before which
year no statistics were kept
regarding summer enrollment. In
that year 97 graduate students regis
tered, with 60 at the regular session
alone. Last year 161 were on the
campus for the forst period, with
208 chalked up for the entire three
months in Portland and Eugene.
Dean Powers Teacher
Writer, and Organizer
Alfred Powers, dean of the exten
sion division and director of both
summer sessions, is an Oregon grad
Dean Powers
uate, class or
1910. Before
becoming con
nected with
the Univer
sity of Ore
gon in 1917,
he engaged in
some school
a d m i n istra
tive work and
fell into the
habit of con
tributing t o
magazines —
a habit he has
retained and
developed. After the war lie re
turned to the Northwest and held
an executive position with the Amer
ican Red Cross. He came back to
the iUniversity in 1920 as University
editor,. in tho school of journalism;
in 1922 he became assistant director
of the extension division; and on the
resignation of Dean Kilpatrick in
1926, he succeeded to the deanship.
Mr. Powers has been in charge of
organizing the summer session fac
ulty for Eugene and Portland this
yc-ar.
Old Summer Students
Back as Instructors
Among the special instructors in
elementary education problems and
school administration are included
two men who obtained their ad
vanced degrees in the University,
largely through summer session
study. Both 0. A. Howard state
superintendent of public instruction,
and Dr. Raymond E. Baker, profes
sor of education in Albany College,
were familiar figures on the Oregon
campus in summer sessions not many
years back.
Graduate School Head

Prospects for Large
Summer School Good
Prospects for a “ bumper sum
mer school enrollments are extremely
good, according to Miss Hilda Olsen,
[ secretary of the summer session.
Letters have been pouring in from
all over the state saying definitely
that the writers were intending to
come. Ami letters have also been
received from Nebraska, Connecti
cut, New York, West Virginia, from
all over the United States and even
from Canada and Mexico.
Catalogues with a complete list
of courses and professors can be se
cured by applying to the Extension
Division.
English A Cleared Now
Saves Cash Next Year
A list of all University students
who must clear English A-. before
their.record is clear, has(baen posted
on the second floor bulletin board in
Villard hall. Kenneth Shumaker,
supervisor of the work, says that
this list is not final and there may
be changes.
As a $10 fee will be charged for
this' sub-freshman course next year,
all who can should remove the con
dition as'soon as possible. Mr. Shu
maker is willing to answer ques
tions on how the English A record
may be erased.
This Store Is Student Owned
Your First Contacts
At The University
*—will be with your professors and this store. Here
you will buy your staple supplies—paper, pens, text
, books and notebooks. Our lines are complete in
these items and you may be sure you will get the
best with the maximum amount of service.
Then, too, you will want to visit our General
Book department on the Book Balcony. Aside from
the prosaic text books, we have developed this de
partment in tin- interest of general reading. You
will also probably take advantage of our High Hat
Rent Shelf, where you will find late books in fiction
and non-fiction.
Your advent here will want to be marked by a
few. things for your room—memories of a pleasant
summer can best be recalled by a pennant, a memory
book, an Oregon plaque or a ring. We have a num-'
her of these things—yes, ‘‘really too numerous to
mention."
But at any rate—we look forward to seeing you
and.take this opportunity to wish you the pleasantest
summer ever.

Library Larger
This Year, by
16,300 Volumes
Total Is Nearly 190,000;
Several Members >
Added to Staff
Since the 1927 summer session,
16,330 volumes have been added to
the shelves of the University library,
making the total now available 187,
330. The number added is a sub
stantial increase over the number of
accessions the preceding year, ac
coiding to M. H. Douglass, librarian.
“All reserve books will be put
on the shelves upstairs in Condon
hall for the summer session,” Mr.
Douglass said. “The history and
■English reserves are to be trans
ferred to Condon until the post ses
sion when they will be brought back
to the main library.”
The books on reserve now, those
which will not be in demand for the
summer session courses, will be taken
off reserve when school closes in
June; the newspaper room at the
main library will be open during the
entire summer session.
The regular library staff has .been
changed and several full time mem- .
bers have been added this year.
Mrs. Mabel E. McClain heads the
circulation department, with several ►
assistants. Hazel Johnson is first
assistant in the circulation depart
ment; Alice Dorman, who has been
in the circulation department this
year, is leaving in June; and Mar
jorie Myers, who had charge of the
English and history reserve, has been
transferred to the circulation de
partment.
Miss E. Casford is still periodical
librarian, assisted by Kota Hidings,
and Mrs. Pearl M. Watt is the new
reference librarian. Mrs. eBtty Mao
Stamm, formerly assistant in the
English and history reserve, is now
in charge of the reserve, and Mrs.
Marjorie Reynolds is assistant.
In the general reserve are Mrs.
Dora Francis Ford, who is in charge
and Mabel Klockars. Mrs. Blair
Alderman is in charge of the business
administration department. Miss
Beatrice Barker is cataloguer, as
sisted by Miss Marguerite Schwab,
and Miss Martha Spafford is back
in the continuations department,
after several months’ absence.
