Miss Edna Johnson To Visit University Traveling Secretary for Student Volunteer Foreign Mission Movement Miss Edna M. Johnson, traveling sec retary for Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, will be at the University on November 13 and 14. M.iss Johnson is a graduate of the Col.. lege of Emporia, A. B. 1927. Her participation in a variety of ac tivities on her own campus, especially choral and literary work, gives her a sympathetic insight into student inter ests, and affords natural points of con tact. Her associations with the S.V.M. as a local group leader and union officer en able her to interpret to others the very vital relationship of this movement to missions. Her own purpose to enter some form of Christian service abroad has led her to a study of conditions and needs wvhich qualifies her to challenge her fellow students to find their relation to this world enterprise. Miss Johnson will be the guest of Miss Clara Lane who is president of the city union of S.V.M. Her useful ness on our campus depends largely on the preparation which is made for her coming. -INEF2 BEGIN Mary had a wad of gum, $hie chewed it long and slow, And everywhere that Mary went, The gum was sure to go.

Armistice Day Dance Held Tonight in Gym To Be Sponsored by the Junior Cla"-Promoted on the New Plan The Junior class of the University will give the Armistic day dance in the University gymnasium tonight, begin ning at 9:30 and ending at 2. Waldo LaMotte and his orchestra will play . The dance is being promote4 on a new plan. Students with athittic-tick ets and alumni with association mem b'ership cards will be admitted for $1.00. All others will be charged $2.00. There has been some discussion as to charg ing the alumni $2.00 for admission. The officers of the junior class feel certain that the present plan will be satisfac tory to the alumni. Membership in the Alumni association will be equivalent to possession of athletic tickets. The presentation of association cards shows that the alumni are interested in the University and are willing to pay their dues to receive the same priveleges ac cruing to the students, who pay for their athletic tickets and are thereby admitted for $1.00. Ralph Lewis, president of the junior class, is chairman of the committee in charge of the dance. ---- usc There's something wrong with these rabbits you sold me.
