Medic Student
Shuns Chance
To Get Throne
A freshman In tho College of
Medicine at Omaha finds himself
heir to the throne of France! And
ho Is not particularly interested In
tho fact:
At least, young Edgar Banks
Williams, of Groesbeck, Texas, ac
cording to press dispatches from
Omaha, is the scion of a family that
is reputed to be descended from the
royal house of Orleans, pretenders
to the crown. The story Is only a
family tradition, but It Is borne out
bv records in the possession of
William's father.
'American Citizen'
"I am an American citizen,"
young Williams states, "and I hope
to become a competent American
physician. Whether my blood is
royal or pleblan doesn't matter, and
any statemuul I could make would
onlv be embarrassing!"
The tradition Is that the great-great-grandfather
of Banks Wll
llamc was a member of a Flemish
family and a cousin of the duke
of Orleans. It could probably he
definitely established, but Ui
father Is not anxious to trace it.
He fears that the story would prove
to be true and he does not beliovo
that snobbish pride in a family is a
healthful Influence In democratic
America.
Hero Is Indifferent
The story Itself would sound to
some like a George Barr McCut
cheon novel. Or Mark Twain's
"American Claimant," or "T. Tem
baron." In keeping with those
novels, the hero of this true story
is indifferent to it all.
Well, It takes all kinds of peo
ple to make a world!

Mayor-Council Plan and
Advantages
Council-manager plan of munici

an address given before the Ki
wanis club on Friday noon by Prof.
L. E. Aylsworth of tho department
of political science. This method
of government, has recently been
proposed to succeed the present
mayor-council system.
Professor Aylsworth presented
an outline of the proposed system
and discussed its workings In
places where It Is already used.
Mr. Aylsworth pointed out the ad
vantages of tho proposed system
which have led Its advocators to
demand a special election for ap
proval by tho voters.
The danger or putting autocratic
power in the hands of the manager
under the proposed system was
shown to be absolutely negligible.
Mr. Aylsworth also pointed out the
waste and inefficiency involved in
the present metthod of making
each of five councilmen supreme In
ono department of the municipal
government.
versity to Inform the public regard
ing Its disciplinary action, but since
wide publicity has been given this
Christmas tree episode this policy
is deviated from In this Instance.
Suffice to say. the young men In
volved In the act have been
placed upon probation apd the
fraternity and Its national head
quarters have this day been notified
that the fraternity Is on a proba

accessory before the fact.

Decorations for the Interfratern

the balcony of the

Tim inlfrfr:iternltv ball is a re

Before 1926 the party was Known

had been organized by the Kosmet
Klub for approximately louricen
years. Duo to the presence on Ihe
campus of an organization known
as the Panhellenlc council, the
name of the formal was changed
to Interfraternlty ball.
Ball Preceded Prom
The Panhellenlc ball also pre
ceded the Junior-Senior prom, as
the final party of the formal sea
son. Three years ago, according
to the president of Kosmet Klub,
the Klub held each year (he Pan
hellenlc ball which served as the
close of formal season. At that
time arrangements were made for
a certain well-known orchestra to
play for the party. The band was
unable to come at the agreed, date,
but played earlier In the season.
Hence another party, known as the
Junior-Senior prom came into ex
istence to take the Panhellenic's
place as final formal.
At. present both parties, Ihe In
terfraternlty ball and the Junior
SeiRor prom are held, one as nn
outstanding formal party, and the
other to close the season of
formals.

the mercury sank below zero and
23 days with a maximum tempera
