I., ~~*' ~U~Si.Y 24;9 1950 1 Experts Offer Modern Dance THE- MICHIGAN DAILY German, French, Spanish Language Houses Provide Opportunity To Improve Linguistics SurveyCourse Intensive Two-Week Study Will Integrate Creative Dance Work A comprehensive survey of Mo- dern Dance is being offered this week and next by the Women's Physical Education Department. The course, which meets from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, is being taught by Dr. Juana de Laban of the University, Margaret H'Doubler of the University of Wisconsin and Ruth Murray of Wayne University. Mis H'Doubler is in town this week to give instruction, while Miss Murray will be here next week. Both are well.known in the field of creative dance. The course is designed to offer a comprehensive survey of the Mc- dern Dance as inter-related with the Music and Dramatic Depart- ments of public schools and col- leges. It includes material on chore- ography and staging and a com- parison will be made of the philo- sophy and contribution of differ- ent dance exponents. Dr. Laban is offering work in intermediate and advanced dance techniques and inprovisation. Miss H'Doubler is showing the implications of kinesiology and physical laws to dance and rhy- thmic structure, while Miss Mur- ray will present a survey of the rhythmic elements essential to dance teaching, and a course in choreography. The intensive course, which of- fers two semester hours of credit, it part of a six-week Practicum in Physical Education. Women interested in gaining fluency in a foreign language need not envy their friends who are traveling in distant lands because they have an opportunity to live in a house on campus where that language alone is spoken. Coeds living and boarding in these houses range from majors in the field to freshmen who have just begun study of the tongue and foreign students with hazy memor- ies for neighboring languages. DEUTCHES HAUS, the German House, located at 1101 Church St., is managed by Mrs. B. P. Bagrow. It is the orply language house un- der the direct auspices of the Uni- versity this summer. Mrs. Bagrow said that she be- lieves her German house, which she opened last summer, is the first of its kind on campus. The language house plan was Swint Classes Are StillOpen Are you afraid of bathtubs? This is not a treatise on why you should bathe often. It is an an- nouncement by the Women's Phy- sical Education Department that classes in beginning swimming are still open to women who wear bathing suits just to get a tan. Coeds who are afraid of the water need have no qualms about the "Barbour Bathtub" as the wo- men's swimming pool is affection- ately called. If they doubt that the pool lives up to its name, they may look for themselves. Dr. Laurie E. Campbell, Acting Chairman of the Department, stressed the importance of being able to swim. She emphasized that women who do not know how to swim should stay out of canoes and .ther boats. Swimming accidents are so un- necessary, she said, when anyone can learn to swim well in eight weeks. Women interested in enrolling in the classes may sign up in Of- fice 15, Barbour Gymnasium, from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4:30 p.m. today and tomorrow and from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. revived in 1948 after being dis- continued during the war. * * * LINGUISTIC DIRECTOR for the house is Mrs. Edith E. Nagel, appointed by Associate Dean of Women Mary C. Bromage. The linguistic director must be able to speak German fluently. Three undergraduate and two graduate students are now liv. ing in the house. Mrs. Bagrow said that there is room for one more woman. Anyone interested may call the Office of the Dean of Women. German is spoken at all times. The residents are so conscientious, Mrs. Bagrow declared, that there is no need to impose fines for slip- ping up and speaking English. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE weekly Wednesday evening open houses for all students interested in con- versing in German and special guest dinners for members of the German faculty. Mrs. Bagrow, who has lived in Germany, even serves German dishes sometimes. The house was very successful last year and residents went on picnics and an overnight hike to- gether. are living at the house. The groups eat in separate rooms, where they may converse in the language of their choice. * * *' OTHER INTERESTED students may arrange to eat their meals at the house. Mrs. Elliott said that she is very anxious for the French and Span- ish house to succeed. Last year there were separate houses for each language. The year before, one house for the two languages was operatedrby Mrs. Elliott. OUTDOOR ART CLASS PAINTING - DRAWING FOR BEGINNERS 6 weeks-$12.. . Sat. 10-12 Ph. 3-0425 - Call after 4 B.
