Girl Staters Form New Alumnae Club
Twenty-four former Girl Staters met last night in the Kansas room of the Union building to form a KU Girls' State Alumnae Club, to discuss past Girls' States, and to talk over tentative plans for the future.
Elizabeth Baker was elected president of the newly formed organization. Other officers chosen were Althea Shuss Vratil, vice-president Emily Hollis, secretary; Anna Marie Young, treasurer; and Mary Margaret Gaynor, public chairman.
Refreshments were served by members of Dorsey-Liberty Unit No. 14 of the American Legion Auxiliary. Members of the auxiliary who served were Mrs. Everett Stith, president of the local unit, Mrs. George Melvin, and Mrs. George Hedrick.
Girls' State is an organization sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and affords an opportunity for girls to receive a week's training in state, county, and city government. The last two sessions were held at the University of Kansas in 1941 and 1942. Because of the war the sessions had to be discontinued

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Basketball in Kansas seems to be on the up-grade if attendance figures mean anything. High school basketball all over the state flourished the past season. Figures released from the State High School Activities association disclosed that 126,000 fans attended the districts, regionals, semi-finals, and final tournaments. A total of 52,000 flocked to the fifty-six class B district tourneys, 48,000 for the sixteen regionals, 14,000 for the semi-finals at Ottawa, Russell, Eureka, Hutchinson and Kansas City, and 12,000 for the finals at Topeka. From the quality of basketball played and the fans' support of the game, it is evidence for the claims of Kansas that it is one of the foremost hot-beds for basketball in the nation.

Two of the finest basketball teams in the United States will play tonight in Madison Sjuare Garden. All the proceeds taken from the game will go to the Red Cross. A crowd of 18,000 is expected to be on hand to witness the meeting of the "Cinderella" team, Utah, and St. John's of Brooklyn.

tory. St. John's won the invitational tourney for the second straight year with upset victories over Bowling Green, Kentucky and DePaul. The Red Cross will receive over $50-000 from the contest, just as it did a year ago, when Wyoming nosed out St. John's for top national rating. A mythical national championship will be the goal of the two teams and a great cause will benefit from their efforts.

EASTER GREETINGS
Ol' Man Winter seems to be against spring football practice here at the University. Yesterday was the second straight day that the reluctance of the snow and cold winds to leave caused Jayhawk mentor Henry Shenk to hold a "chalk talk" inside, instead of the planned outdoor practice. If at all possible Shenk will have his hopeful work outside tonight.
There will be no spring football practice this year at Kansas State for the same reason that none was held last year—lack of manpower. According to reports from the Aggie camp the campus has been scoured for possibilities without much success. It is hoped by the athletics department that all eligibles will go out for track.

He received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Toronto in 1891, and his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Chicago in 1903. He then joined the economic staff at McGill University in Toronto, where he remained until his teaching days were over.

MU Feels Severe Loss As Trainees Leave
The loss of army trainees on the University of Missouri campus was severely felt because approximately 2,000 were in training there. More than half that number have been transferred from the campus this week.
The change means that a number of the fraternity houses in which the trainees were housed will be turned back to the Greek organizations who may be unable to find occupants. University dormitories too have been vacated.
