THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Mexicans Celebrate Revolution of 1910
Last month the people of Mexico celebrated the 33rd anniversary of the Revolution.
The event celebrated by the Mexicans rose from political discontent with the government headed by President Diaz. Although Diaz had elevated Mexico's position among the nations and had improved the country materially, he had introduced some policies, especially the land policy, which the people thought were reactionary and prejudicial to the best interests of the country.
In spite of Diaz's policy to keep down disorder by centralizing authority in his own hands, an armed rebellion and general upheaval climaxed the discontent of the masses in 1810.
The Revolution was not simply a problem for the Mexican government. In fact, fighting was carried on so near the United States border that the United States sent warnings to both parties and mobilized troops along the frontiers to guarantee neutrality and to protect her interests.
By May 10, the rebels captured Juarez. The federal government agreed to negotiate for peace, and a treaty was drawn up. The treaty provided for Diaz's resignation and the holding of a new election in six months.

Not Robots yet: Last Friday V-12's and Machinist's Mates were told the uniform of the day consisted of peacoats and overshoes. Most of them, however, used their ingenuity and wore pants, too.
Ossawat'mie, here we come; the look of chagrin now mingled with an air of stupidity which has always characterized some feminine faculty members, dates back to a spelling bee. A part of a recent University club program, this bee served to bring out the already well-known fact that the general run of women are feeble-minded. Five men were still standing when all the women profs had been spelled down. Because most of the women went down on two syllable words the males conclude that their feminine colleagues lecture entirely in one syllable words and are disgraces to the teaching profession. (Male faculty members collected a total of $1.50 to have the above item inserted. For $3 the same will be retracted with appropriately libelous comebacks.)

OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Baptism of a Greek: Muffled shouts interrupt the meditation of a midnight snow. Louder shouts—and a splash. From the center of concentric circles on Potter's surface comes a thrashing. A body works its way to the side, drags out on the bank, and sneezes toward West Hills. The shouts retire. The snow patiently settles back to solitude and meditation.

assisted by Miss Riss Orcutt, piano,
and Professor Anderson, organ.
A second number by the choir, "The
Song of Mary", a Christmas cradle
song, (Carl August Fischer) followed
with Miss Meribah Moore singing
the soprano solo. After the chorus,
the audience sang "Joy to
the World" directed by Dean Swarthout.
"Desert Christmas," a tableau picturing Navajo shepherds in the American Southwest and their flocks gazing at a brilliant star, was presented next. Clad in Navajo costumes, three Haskell Institute students, George Wilson, Anna Ruth Anderson, and Rose Gurley, portrayed the shepherds.
Offering for Scholarships
The University Symphony Orchestra, directed by Russell L. Wiley, played Dvorak's "Slavie Dance." This was followed by a free-will offering taken by the Jay Janes for the Fine Arts scholarship fund. Dean Swarthout next directed the choir in a Christmas hymn, "Hodie Christus Natus Est," composed by Professor Anderson, of the School of Fine Arts faculty. The choir was assisted by a solo trio, a cornet trio, and the composer at the organ. The traditional hymn, "The First Noel!" was the second carol sung by the audience.
"Nutcracker Suite" Tableau
A brilliantly colored scene, inspired by Tschalkowsky's "Nutcracker Suite" was presented as the third tableau, "Toy Christmas." The cast included Joan Johnson, Marie; Tom Jones, nutcracker; Betty Redford, toy doll; Raymond Nichols, jack-in-the-box; and Robert Hulteen, Roly-poly.
Joseph Wilkins, department of voice, sang a tenor solo, "Vision of
Peace On Earth Depicted
To the strains of "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing" the Choir moved slowly from the stage in two lines meeting in the center aisle and leaving the auditorium in a long column. Professor Anderson played an organ improvisation as the audience left the auditorium.
Probably the most effective spot on the vesper program was the final tableau, That There May Be "Peace On Earth". The scene presents the madonna, Margaret Gurley, with a soldier, Wayne Gallentine, R.O.T.C., and a sailor, Paul Benson, V-12 kneeling in reverence at her feet while doves of peace cast shadows over the group.
