Walter Kriemmelmeyer, better know as "Ox is to take the role ofvMontfleury. This part called for a man of enor mous size and "Ox," 240 pound foot ball and track star, was able to qual ify. William Prawl will fill the major role, that of Cyrano, French soldier and poet, and Esther Zinnecker will take the part of the heroine, Roxane. Cyrano's extreme sensitiveness over the shape and size of his nose has much to do with the plot of jhe dra ma.

Unique costumes will aid Decision In Phi Beta Pi Case Reached A fraternity house, though its in habitants are "brothers," all is not a family in the eyes of the law ac cording to a decision reached yester day by the state supreme court in a suit brought by irate residents of Omaha against the Phi Beta Pi fra ternity of Crcighton University. Jus- ice James R. Miller ruled that fra ternity houses are noted for late hours, queer noises, and the "use and abuse of vibrant and sonorous musi cal instruments," and that they could therefore not be classed as homes. Residents of one of Omaha's most exclusive residential districts pro testetf against the proximity ol a fraternity house and charged that it was contrary to the city zoning laws for such an institution to locate in their district. The Douglas county supreme court ruled, however, that the zoning laws were "unreasonable and oppressive," and .hat the frater nity could locate in a district that is restricted to private dwellings. The higher court's ruling reverses that of the lower court and declares that a fraternity house is a rooming house, not a residence. The court included the fact that the fraternity was well aware of the situation of af fairs and that they took chance upon the legality of their step. The ruling concludes with the statement that the zoning ordinance is well within the exercise of police power, even though the situation af fects adversely the property rights of some individual.
