Illini Coed Recalls Visit With Prince
New York—(U.P.)—Jo Ann Stork's two-hour audience with the bachelor Prince of Monaco was worth every cent of the money she saved as a summertime waitress, the Illinois university coed said today with starry-eyed enthusiasm.
She returned home from Monte Carlo today convinced that it's wonderful for a girl's morale to visit a prince in a palace. But she's not sure she'd like to live there.
"Anyway," the enterprising brunette sighed. "I'm sure they won't let him marry anyone who isn't royalty. I didn't fall in love with him. I'm not that romantic. I just wanted to meet him."
Miss Stork, who'll return to the campus Thursday with a solid gold commemorative coin Prince Ranier III handed her, said she gave him "a personal invitation to come to school and visit. I know he'd really love to come, too," she added, "but I guess royalty has problems about traveling."
"I worked as a waitress last summer at a country club on Lake Geneva and saved my money," Jo Ann explained. Her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph F. Stork, of Alton Ill., approved her plan, and her father, who owns a dry cleaning company, agreed to help if she ran short of money.
"But by the time I got there some stories had been written about me and they treated me like an official guest," Jo Ann marvelled. "I didn't have to pay for anything.
"I had a beautiful hotel suite overlooking the Mediterranean. The bathtub was simply huge. And the bed was three mattresses thick. I've never been entertained so princely in my whole life!"
After two days of uncertain waiting, her audience with the prince finally was arranged by Father Francis Tucker, an American who is the palace chaplain.
"I was escorted through the palace corridors to the prince's apartment," Jo Ann recalled. "Everyone saluted as we went by. It was wonderful. Then I was met by the prime minister... his excellency something. Gee, I can't remember all the names.
"Then I met the prince. I did a sort of slight curtsey. And I met
his sister, Princess Antoinette. They both speak English perfectly. They are really very much like Americans. It's easy to talk to them.
"The prince showed me his men-agerie and the exotic gardens of the palace and took me for a ride around the gardens in his new red sports car. He's wild about sports cars."
Lecture on British Art Set for Friday
Geoffrey Moore, visiting Rose Morgan professor, will speak on "Fine Arts in Britain Today," at 3 p.m. Friday, in the main lecture room of Spooner Museum. A collection of British paintings will be shown at a reception honoring Prof. and Mrs. Moore after the lecture.
The paintings are part of the collection of the Fine Arts department of the International Business Machines corporation. They represent 25 19th and 20th century English artists, and most of them were chosen to show contemporary trends in British art.
KU Debaters Lose Tourney
Southwest Missouri State college of Springfield, Mo., took first place in the senior division and Southwest college of Weatherford, Okla., won the title in the junior division in a four-state debate tournament at Pittsburg State college Friday and Saturday.
Southwest Missouri State defeated KU's senior division team of William Arnold and Hubert Bell, college seniors, in the semi-finals after the Jayhawks had won six preliminary rounds in a row, and went on to defeat Emporia State Teachers college in the finals.
KU's junior division team of Gordon Ryan and Hugh Bruner, college freshmen, fared better, beating Hutchinson Junior college before bowing to the Southwest college from Oklahoma.
In 1896 two Americans—George Harbo and Frank Samuelson—rowed across the Atlantic ocean in an 18-foot open boat. They use only oars—no sails, no mode. Their 3,200-mile row took them 62 days.
