SECRETARY Iowa is Only University Supporting a Foreign Secretary One of the activities of the University Y.W.C.A that is of general interest to students and alumni is the financial support given to Miss Ruth Paxson, '98, who is national student secretary for all China. Miss Paxson, while a student in the University, was a prominent in many activities of the school, and she has carried her talent and spirit with her foreign work. For a number of years after her graduation she was national secretary of the student volunteer. In 1911 she went to China for the first time, not returning until 1916. A year ago, in August, year term, this time to be supported entirely by the students and alumnae of Iowa. The $1400.00 to be raised each year for the maintenance of Miss Paxson in China is divided into three parts: $200 is contributed by the alumnae of all classes below 1895, $50 by all classes between 1895 and 1918, and $159 by the undergraduate body. Wellesley supports two secretaries in China, and the University of Chicago has one in India, but Iowa is the first state university to have a secretary of its own. As the result of Miss Paxson's first five-year term, China has had one extensive summer conference and six other conferences with 652 delegates; eighty-two associations have been formed, and seven Bible classes are in progress at Sientsin, the only government school at which there is an association. (continued from page 1) seen in action against the Jones machine. Upon hearing that the Grinnell game had been cancelled and Minnesota made the team for the Homecoming game, President Jessup has appointed a committee to have a charge of affairs. The probabilities are that the lid will be off of the quarantine, thus allowing the women of the university and public in general to attend. Applications for tickets to the game will be cared for at a later date. It is most likely that the ticket applications will be taken at Whetstone's secretary's office and in the liberal arts building. The number of tickets that one person may buy has not been fixed as yet, but it is almost certain that a year book will entitle the owner to the right of getting another ticket in addition to the one he will get on the year book. These additional tickets will be sold at the regular price as that received for those on the year books. The way things stand at ppresent, the women are to be assured of seeing at least two games and a chance of a third. By arranging the schedule in this manner, local followers will be able to see one of the best teams in action for the Homecoming date. KICK!
