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.

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.
