...Obsolete Children." This happy nonsense was byplay at the museum's six-week summer workshop, the latest effort by Dr. Seuss, actually Theodor Seuss Geisel, to stir the imagination of children. The workshop seems to be doing just that. The kids use the backs of dolls to make small cars for the streets of the model city; they record the city's sounds and transform them-slowed tapes of a pingpong ball bouncing on concrete boom like a distant gun; the filming gives them new visual perspectives-all aimed at making them more aware of an urban environment...
...Geisel, an irrepressible child who has no children, is far from obsolete. Working out of a former observation tower atop Mount Soledad, highest point in La Jolla, he carefully turns his easel away from the distraction of the panoramic Pacific view, continues to create intriguing cartoon characters, pen funny-but moralistic-stories, mainly in verse.

Hardin and Baker ran away from the field and Crimson sophomore Tim McLoone held off Geisel's third-place bid in the last lap, finishing 23 seconds behind Hardin's winning...
...mile, Princeton star Richie Geisel has not shown Andreini's knack of coming up with his best against Harvard. If Baker runs the two mile, he and sophomore Doug Hardin might be able to take the pace away from Geisel. Geisel beat Hardin this winter in the Big Three meet, but has yet to beat Baker...
