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

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.

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.

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

STUDENT HONOR
LIST COMPILED
Eighty-seven Make Grade
of Two or Above' in Each
Scholastic Course Taken
FOUR HIGHEST NAMED

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

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.

the high standard of group spirit
that prevails in the department of
journalism, in the opinion of jour
nalism faculty members.

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

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

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
