A REUNION IN 1916.
The members of the class of 1911 are attempting something that has been thought of at previous times but because of lack of sufficient initiative has never been put in operation. It is the plan of the present members of the class to provide for a reunion of the class in 1916, at which time arrangements will be made for another reunion, the entire movement to result in an assembling of this year's class at regular intervals in the years to come.
The semi-centennial of the founding of the University comes in the year 1916 and it is felt that a more suitable date could not be found. The University will probably provide some interesting entertainment relative to the beginnings of this institution. It is also believed that in five years certain pecuniary difficulties that might encumber in the few years after graduation, will be removed.
This movement ought to receive the support and the encouragement of every member of the senior class. School life would seem to loose much of its attractivenuess if it is to be considered that a four years' acquaintance ends all of our relations as students at the same university. Graduates from other large colleges tell us that
the happiest moments of their lives are when they have their class reunions, long after graduation, and that they find a bond of common union and sympathy is formed such as was supposed not to exist while they were attending school.
A meeting of the senior class will be held next Friday and the way in which to give an impetus to the movement for a reunion is to be present at the meeting. A large attendance at chapel Friday with a proper expression of views will assure a large gathering of the class of 1911 at their reunion in 1916.
The announcement that the Scoop club is rejuvenated and is again doing business at the same old stand will probably cause certain denizens of the East Bottoms to make all customers give the pass word before a trade is made.
The Mexican laborer whom one sees along the railroads in the United States does not impress one as being a person of especial political importance. And yet, according to one of the speakers at the recent engineers' banquet, it is the same laborer who is kicking up much of the present fuss in Mexico. "After living for a while under the government of the United States," said the

speaker, "the Mexican returns to his own country and finds it impossible to get along under the military despotism which prevails there. His sojourn in the States has put democratic ideas into his head which won't get out." Living in his cramped and unsanitary bunk car, doing his work exposed to all extremes of heat and cold, the Mexican laborer appears to have none too easy time in this country, and it would seem that conditions at which he will revolt in his home country must indeed be pretty bad. If the present revolution has indeed received any help

from men who got their notions of freedom while they were laborers in the United States, the song, "I've been working on the railroad," ought to become one of the national hymns of Mexico when the revolutionary government is established.
Let us hope that the Cooley club in organizing a model United States Senate will not follow the original copy so closely that certain members of the club will be forced to take a course in boxing under Dr. Naismith in order to retain their seats.
In a recent issue of The University Kansan, reference was made to a contest in which the prize was to be awarded to the one who should "finish first in a Marathon beer drinking contest." It appears to us as though the prize should be awarded to the one who finishes last.
