PLAN HOLIDAY TRIP
Several students have already sig.
nified their intention of accepting tho
invitation to spend a part of the
Christmas holidays in the homes of
Lansing citizens. This invitation, ex-
tended to the foreign students of the
University some time ago, is in the
nature of a repetition of a like invita-
tion given last year. At that time 16
foreign students went to Lansing.
There is a possibility that the for-
eign students may visit other cities in
the state under like circumstances but
definite arrangements in this regard
have not been made.
After the men interested have re-
ported to Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, and
the women to Dean Jean Hamilton,
their names will be forwarded to
Lansing and given to private parties
there who will correspond with the
