Critics Hail
Casedesus, to
Appear Here
Students will be admitted to the
concert of Robert Casadesus, notec
French pianist, by presentation oi
their registration cards next Mon
day evening at 8:15 p.m. in McAr
thur court.
Casadesus, whose performance
will be fifth in the series sponsored
by the Eugene and University Civic
Music association, is in regular de
mand as soloist with all major or
chestras, as guest artist of top ra
dio programs and for concert ap
pearances from coast to coast.
“I wt>uld walk a mile to hear him
play practically anything at any
time,” wrote Virgil Thomson, New
York Herald Tribune critic.
The pianist not only plays music,
but has composed works of inter
national reputation. His Concerto
for Two Pianos has been played
in this country with Casadesus and
his wife, a pianist in her own right,
by both the Cincinnati symphony
and the Rochester Philharmonic.

gives no credit for advancement
within the bracket until the
grade actually achieves “holy
ground; therefore, the GPA is
always behind the .actual grade
earned, and never accurate. This
situation closely resembles the
football method, wherein the fi
nal score of the game is often no
indication of the statistiics.
The solution should be, and is,
as clear as the problem. Elimin
ate the literal grades, and simply
transfer the numerical class per
centages into the GPA. Then, if
a student falls just short of a
“B,” give him what he deserves
—a grade of 2.90. What could be
more accurate, fairer, or sim
pler? Besides, it would give new
impetus for study, the supposed
ly real reason for being here.
Look at U this way. If a man
set out to make a million and only
made $900,000 . . . should he be
classed as a failure?

AN EXTREMIST
To the Editor:
A recent female writer ridicules
college men for wanting to get
married without first having
enough material luxuries to offer
as bribery. She can’t understand
how some girls are capable of
making sacrifices of material
comforts for love. Yes, it seems
far beyond her, or above her. She
also infers that a man marries
so he can file a joint income tax
return. I can only assume by her
comment that she is not very ma
ture.
She wants dates but no wed
ded bliss for years to come.
That's easy to understand. She
wants some fellow to spend his
money and time on her, but it is
too much of. a sacrifice for her to
give him the honor and privilege
of supporting her the rest of his
life.
Because of the "notorious du
plicity of males,” she must in
vestigate them to "protect her
honor and interests.” What she
means by honor, I don’t know, but
I think I know what interests
means. From what I can judge
of her letter, she is interested in
the size of the prospective suck
er's pocketbook.
It is too bad that extremists
take more interest in expressing
their views than persons with
moderate opinions. Both this girl’s
letter and “Why Do Girls Come
to Oregon?" are one-sided and
do not fairly represent the major
ity of either male or female stu
dents at Oregon. Some people
