SPLENDID PROGRAM BEING AR
RANGED FOR THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER IL.

Armistice Day will be observed in
Moscow by a program at the Univer-
sity at 10 o'clock in the morning, I'M
der the supervision of the A. E. F
club and the Veterans Vocational
club.
Although business men had signed
a petition to close during the after
noon, the ex-soldiers found it impos-
sible to give their program at that
time and have decided to invite all
town and college people to attend the
program in the forenoon and leave
the closing question optional with the
merchants.
The program will be opened by the
ex-soldiers reviewing the cadet bat
allion, followed by a flag raising cere-
mony on the campus. A short patrio-
tic program will then be held in the
auditorium.
AS the city of Moscow is making no
observance of this day, all town people
are invited to come to the university
and enjoy the ceremony to be held
there. The definite program will be
announced later.
In the evening the ex-service men
will hold dance for college students
in the gymnasium.
