MASQUE-THESPIAN UNION PLANNED? RUMOR HAS IT THAT CLUBS WILL UNITE. But Members of the Two Dramatic Organizations Will Say Nothing Definite. Certain rumors have been circulating through the University to the effect that there is to be a union of the Masque and Thespian Dramatic clubs. The talk is not supported and the members of the two clubs will say nothing definite concerning the matter. Since Chancellor Strong made his remarks in chapel las fall concerning the "impossible and absurd" state of dramatics at the Kansas University the two clubs have been contemplating forming a single organization Again, the necessity of a single club was shown by the lack of support given the last of the two plays this year by the student body. It is believed by the leaders of the combining movement that one big play each year would have more success than two or three small ones. A meeting of the Thespians was called a week or so ago, but the purpose of the meeting is not known because of the fact that there was no quorum present and so no action could be taken. It is the belief of a number of the Thespians that the meeting was called for the purpose of taking some action toward uniting with the Masque. It is impossible to discover who the leaders of the movement are. AN ESTATE TO BAKER. Kansas School Gets an Endowment of $100,000.

The Phi Psis gave a St. Patrick's dance last night in Ecke's hall. The walls were covered with shamrocks, and the pillars were draped with green ribbon.

Students Here Uninterested in Home Players. One hundred and eighty-two men will be at the University next Friday and Saturday to take part in the annual interscholastic basket-ball tournament that will be held in the gymnasium. The work of providing for the visiting teams has devolved upon the University Y. M. C. A. and the county clubs. At present "Dad" Herman has secured rooms enough for only half of the men, and the only county club that has taken definite action toward entertaining their team is the Johnson county men, who will receive the team from Olathe. Since the men will be playing all the time that they will be in town, the Y. M. C. A. has not arranged for an entertainment of the high school men Phi Delts Entertain. The members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity entertained those of Sigma Nu at a St. Patrick's ball in F. A. A. hall last evening. The hall was decorated with the colors of the two fraternities. The favors consisted of clay pipes and silk Irish flags. Northwestenn Mut. Life In. Co. L. S. Beeghly. 1415 Mass. Topeka Capital on sale at Vie's. ROBERTS WILL STAY. Sprinter Will Not Leave School as Reported. The report that "Bobbie" Roberts, the short distance spinner on the track team, would leave school, is unfounded. He received an offer last week from a firm of Chicago engineers, to investigate an irrigation project in western Kansas, but owing to the fact that he could not obtain proper apparatus, he was forced to refuse the offer.
