Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20. DEM NUMBER 117 GERARDY TO BE HEARD TONIGHT Famous Cellist Will Play as Last Artist in Series of University Concerts DOORS TO OPEN AT 7:30 Belgian Musician Will Give Recital in the Methodist , Church at 8 o’clock Jean Gerardy, famous Belgian ’cellist, will be heard tonight in re cital in the Methodist Episcopal church at 8 o’clock, under the aus pices of the music committee of the assoeiat/ed, students. Last term’s student body tickets will admit stu dents to the concert, and all new students will be admitted on recog nition. The doors will not be open until 7:30 o’clock. Jean Gerardy, whose fame is in ternational, has toured the United States many times, however, this is his initial appearance in Eugene. He made his last tour prior to his en- | listment in the Belgian army, and j with each appearance, it is said, wonder grew that a man could be so great a master of his instrument. Critics Give Praise The latest critical comment re ceived from European and Austra lian music centers where this re markable artist has been playing lately, state that the Gerardy tone— big, luscious, vibrating with sym pathy—is present in even greater degree than before. Gerardy was born 47 years ago on December 7, at Liege, where his father, Dieudonne Gerardy, was a pianoforte teacher at the municipal conservatory. Jean, at the age of 7, commenced his studies with Rich ard Boellmann, and in less than two years won the second prize at the conservatory. Concert Is Last When lie was 11, he played at Lille and Aix-la-Chapelle, and news paper critics hailed him as “an ap parition destined to revolutionize the musical world.” Jean Gerardy is the last artist to appear in the concert series. The Women’s Glee club home concert in the near future will complete the senes. ELIZABETH BURCHENAL INSTRUCTS IN DANCING Majors and minors in the women’s department of physical education received a one-hour lesson in folk dancing yesterday afternoon from Miss Elizabeth Burchonal of New York, who is traveling throughout the West, giving lectures and les sons. Approximately one hundred girls attended. Miss Burehenal is an authority on folk dances of all countries and has published about ten volumes on the subject. She is the -chairman of the folk dance committee of the Playground Association of America, and inspector of girls’ athletics for the Public Schools league, and Board of Education of the city of New York. At a lecture delivered yesterday morning, Miss Burehenal told how she learned the dances of foreign countries by living among the people for a short time and partaking in their games and dances. She also outlined the. development which the folk dances have received here in America, first as exercise for chil dren and later as a source of amuse ment and recreation for older men and women. MAUDE SCHROEDER IS \ NEW HEAD OF W. A. A. At the annual election of Wom en’s Athletic association officers held the last week of the winter term, Maude Schroeder was unani mously chosen president.

I o Belgian ’Cellist Who Plays Here Jean Gerardy ‘THE TWO VIRTUES’IS SCHEDULED THIS WEEK Play Is Amusing Comedy of Modern Society The University company will pre sent “The Two Virtues,” by Alfred Sutro, Thursday, Friday and Satur day, March 27, 28 and 29, at Guild hall. “Thei Two Virtues” is an amusing comedy 'of modern, life, with London society as a back ground. Its interesting situations, its engaging characters, and its clever lines combine to make it a most entertaining play. The background of English society lends it a fascination. English ways, English views, and the em phasis on title and family create an interesting atmosphere. Tlfere is not enough cynicism to make the play a satirical one; its irony is too good natured. Sutro has, however, a certain mocking spirit; he holds up strongly to ridicule certain man ners and conventions of society. The central figures of the play are Mrs. Guilford and Jeffery Pan ton. Mrs. Guilford is a charming woman surrounded with mystery; the center of several situations in the play. Charlotte Banfield will play the role. Jeffery Panton, the eccentric old bachelor with his odd sense of humor, will be played by Darrell Larsen. Lady Milligan, the fussy sister of Jeffery, intent on protecting the family name and curbing the vag aries of her brother, will be por trayed by Katherine Pinneo. Beth Fariss is cast for Mrs. Jervoise, a romantic young yvoman—formerly the object of Jeffery’s love. Mrs. Jervoise is unconsious of Jeffery’s prodigious sense of humor, and has unbounded confidence in the im mortality of that sentiment in Jef fery. Claude Jervoise, the poetical husband of this young woman, is an exaggerated comedy character with ridiculously funny lines. Paul Krausse takes this role. Alice Exern vivacious ompanion to Mrs. Guil ford, will be played by Helga Mc Grew. Others in the cast are Boyd Homewood and Gerda Brown. The play is under the direction of Fergus Reddie. The box office will be opened Wednesday, March 26, at 9 a. m. Tickets will be on sale for 50 and 75 cents. REGENT OF UNIVERSITY UNDERGOES OPERATION Charles Fisher, a member of the executive committee of the board of regents of the(^ University of Oregon, underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Mercy hospital yesterday afternoon. The opera tion was declared a success, and Mr. Fisher was said to be recover ing rapidly. ^ Mr. Fisher, besides being a mem ber of the board of regents, is edi tor and associate publisher of the Eugene Daily Guard, in which he has a part interest. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA CELEBRATES ENGINEER DAY University of California—The University of California is having a big time in celebrating Engin eer’s day. Each of the five colleges of engineering is having an exhibit, a parade is to be held through the business district of Berkeley, and a dance is to be held in the evening. The Chemicals are giving a freak exhibit of what chemicals will do; the Miners erected a model mine, and are ready to rescue suffocated workers. STUDENT HONOR LIST COMPILED Eighty-seven Make Grade of Two or Above' in Each Scholastic Course Taken FOUR HIGHEST NAMED Rating Under New System Based on Hours Carried to be Published Later Eighty-seven students made the honor role of the University, winter term, earned a grade of II or above in all scholastic courses. Of these 46 are women and 41 men. This is 17 more than fall term, when 70 stu dents fulfilled the requirements. The name of Lewis Beeson was added yesterday to complete tho list that was published in the state papers. Four students, two men and two women, received grades of honors, or of I in everything. These were: Ivan F. Phipps, majoring in law, Ashland; A. B. Stillman, business administration, Eugene: Florence Buck, English, Eugene; Annabel Denn, music, Camas Valley.

Bergh, business administration, Roseburg; Darrell Larson, dramatics, Imbler. Rating Given Later In making out this list of honor students, grades for gymnasium were not counted. Where a student had incompletes in any subject, his name was not included in the list. How ever, if the grade had not been hand ed in, the person was included in the roll although there wasthe chance that such a grade would be below the equired average. Later in the term the rating of the students under the new system just nstalled will be published. This new plan is based on the number of hours carried and the grades made will give more clearly the correct rating of students, it is believed.

Reviews of past work done in the school of journalism and plans for the work of the present term, both in the school and on the Emerald staff, will be given in short talks by members of the journalism facul ty and by students. The Emerald ywards of cash prizes will be made it this meeting. Assemblies are held in this school it the beginning of each term, usually wholly or in part under the auspices of the students themselves. All journalism majors, and all mem bers of the Emerald staff, or those desirous of trying out for positions in the staff, are urged to attend. At these meetings, ways and moans of bettering the quality of work turned out, both in class work md in the columns of the Emerald, are discussed, and plans for the term’s work are outlined by the faculty for the school and by upper staff members for the daily. These periodical assemblies play no small part in moulding and holding intact the high standard of group spirit that prevails in the department of journalism, in the opinion of jour nalism faculty members. | Eight separate classes of Emer ald awards will be made this after noon; some of these with first and second prizes and honorable men tion, while other prizes may be duplicated in the event of possible ties. The awards that will be made follow: For the best all-round, -worker, $15; best news editor, $10; to the ono doing the most constructive ser vice, $10; to tho best night editor, $10; for the one handing in the most tips that can be used for stories, first pri/e, $7.50; second prize, $5; for the best reportorial work, especi ally the best written stories, $5; to the one handing in the largest num ber of unassigned stories, $5; and for the best feature story of the period, first prize, $5; second prize, $2.50. A change was made in the quali fications for the prize for the best written work. Formerly the prize was made for tho beet news story, but the award will now be made to the one handing in the best series of stories and doing the most con sistent work. This was thought to be a better way of judging reportor ial ability. GRADUATION UNITS AND REQUIREMENTS DECREASE University of Nevada—(By P. I. N. S.)—The number of units re quired for graduation in the college of agriculture at the University of Nevada has been decreased from 152 to 130 by action of the faculty at a recent meeting.

BASEBALL OPENS MUM Thirty Diamond Aspirants Work Out on Cemetery Ridge Between Showers PITCHING STAFF GREEN New Field Near Hayward Expected to be Finished Within Next Two Weeks Preliminaries of the coming base ball season ware run off during the spring vacation when Coach Billy Rinehart issued his first call for diamond aspirants. About fifteen, men, several of them, veterans, worked out on Cemetery ridge be tween showers. Last night the turn out was increased to 30 and prac tice was more detailed. The rainy weather prevented any real work except sliding practice, but, from an off-hand glance at the squad, it is evident that the status of this year’s Lemon-Yellow nine will depend largely on the ability of a comparatively, green pitching staff to function when the season opens. Infield and outfield positions will bo vied for by a sum-, bur of dependable; men. In Cook,1; of last year’s varsity; Jack Bliss, of the 1023 frosli nine; and Orr, a squad membor of two years’ stand ing, Coach Rinehart has a trio of catchers that Bhould prevent any worry about the backstop position. Moyndsmen Are Listed The present crop of pitcheTs con sists of Wright, Ringle, Brooks, Pil, Groane, Latham and Sausser. Wright is a veteran of two years’ standing, but his ability to hit and to play the outfield was superior to his pitching last year. Whether he has improved this year enough to be used consistently on the hillock is a question. At any rate, it is likejy that he will cavort in the outer gar dens most of the time. Ringle made his letter in the box two years ago, but last year he was lacking in control and was not much used. Brooks porformod creditably in a number of games last year and may prove a mainstay this season, as ho is a southpaw with a good assortment of hooks. Big Hunk Latham, while not a rogular mounds man last year, was inserted in the box on several occasions. Ho may be used regularly this yoar. Pil Out for Position Pil is making his first bid for the varsity, but is said to have had considerable experience in amateur ranks. IIo is also a capable in fieldor. Sausser pitched for the championship Friendly hall team in the doughnut league last spring. This is his first bid for the varsity. The infield should bo well taken care of. For first base, there are three good men trying out in Latham, who covered the sack last year, Scriptures, of last yoar’s year ling nine, and Bus Burton, who handled the position for the frosh team in 1922. The koystono position is being fought for by .limmy Ross, a two-year veteran, and Dinty Moore, who played in a few games but failed to make his letter. For J shortstop, Bittner, of the 1923 | frosh, seoms to have the edge so far. Hobson, of last year’s frosh (Continued on page two ) Hikers Become Snowbound in Attempt to Cross Pass Lester Smith, junior in the school of business administration, and Paul Agcr, sophomore in tho school of cducatoiii, after an unsuccessful at tempt to cross the McKenzie pass to their homo at Bend during the holidays, are survivors of a thrilling snowbound experience. For about two days, both boys were given up for lost, because they failed to cross to the other side in scheduled time. When the boys returned to civilization Saturday afternoon, searching parties were preparing to ascend the pass from both the west and east side. Both boys declare it is ono of the most exciting experiences they have ever had. “We got all the adven tures we were looking for,” said Smith, “and we wouldn’t have missed it for anything. . . .” Leaving Eugene Wednesday noon on the stage, tho two mountaineers arrived at the McKenzie bridge at 5:30 o’clock. The two hiked from this point to tho Lost Creek Ranger Station, covering the 11 miles by 7:30 in the evening. There they met three other University students. Donald Mitchell, Arthur Kelly and Paul Millican, tho latter two being former students. The five camped for tho night at tho ranger station. “It snowed all that night,” said one of the boys. “It snowed four inches that night. When we got up next morning, the sun was out, the weather was brisk, and the at mosphere was as clear as a crystal. We took an auto up as far as Alder springs. At this point the real snow storm began. Maiking our (.Continued on Page Two.)
