There's something to ))on del' 0\'£1'1'. Think of sitting down to a fine banquet. sur rounded by old friends and classmates, a dinner served by dainty. demure young maidens, the pride and flower of our college. Picture. if you can. the round of stories. old and new, the recital of well· nigh fellow alumni. Can 111.111 afford to lose out on such an op· portunity? Se'..-erai important. matters will probably be brought up at the business meeting. You want. to have your say about. them, we are su r e, and the best way to say it is to be there. the short. rorgotten talks of jokes, J ust a few days more, and the old boys and girls will be throwing things into the suitcases for the trip. We are coming into the stretch, the time is short, so let's pull logether, let 'er go out a notch and come across the line in grand style, WHBRB ARE THE "B IG MENr" to the preparation of plans for the Reu nion. one feature has stood out above all the rest. It is the lack of activity on the part of me n who were class tew alld college leaders while in school. With a excepUons the men who held the most offices and directed the activities of the st.udent body in their time. have failed to r espond to the Reunion talk. That is a rather bold statement, and we realize that we may be making a few enemies, but we be li eve it is time the alumni began to wake up. In a way, it is too bad that the financia l troubles wer e settled so peaceably for thereby the forme r stud en ts a nd friends of the College lost a good exc use to get together and do sometbing big. Howeve r, h istory shows that times of pence produce about as many big men as days of str ife, and we are hop ing tha t lhe old t ime spirit will show itself on Jun e 23. To return to the subject, "Whe re arc tbe big men?" Why don't we hear from them more often? We know thal their classmates and associates wou ld rejoice to know of their doings, and it some one would start the thing, the rest would come easy. It would be easy for some of the old·time leaders to s tart something in the good old way. and the otn er s would follow from force of habit. We need the influence of these "big men" al the Re union. The measure of success in thi~ gather ing will be twice as great it we can get the former class nota.bles back he re to meet the others. We want the old foot ball men, the old base ball play ers, the debaters, the class and society o(flcers, and y('s, \\ e want the fellows who were most lovable for the ir ingenious conceptions of harmless deviltry. We want the boys who were loved and app reciated their for mates follow theOl in lhe old days s till predominate, and will provide the strongest kind of materia l with which to cement the old classes. the crumbling spirit of the traits which made themselves, for Let's ha'-e the "big ruen" and the little men, and the plain everyday fellows. They'll all belp, and you want to see them too. • • • Th e banding ou t of the diplomas on June 23d will mark llle passing of the largest class in the history of th~ College, The number, which is four times as large as that graduated in ]904, is composed of 77 in agriculture, 59 in enginee ring, 50 in home economiCS, 12 in forestry and 2 in veter inary med i cine. ~early all of these young men and wornell are from l\"lichigan, although 13 other states a nd 2 for eign count ri es a r e r ep r esented. The energetic work of Hany L. Kempster, '09a, is ably portrayed in two press bulletins recently issued by tbe University of Missouri. Prof. Kern l) stel' is head of the poullry department there, and has just written two articles relative to that s ubject, one on ":\Ioulds Fatal to Poultry," and the other on methods of prennting egg losses in hot weather.

We wonder how many of the p r esent stu dents, ' 0 1' those who have grad uated si nce, say 1900, know about the or igin of t he "lo comotive yell. " Some interesting informa tion about th is popula r bit of "rah rall" ejacu lation has recently come t o the R ECORD. and we believe it will be read with interest. Just 28 years ago Decoration Day, Prof. Johnson, then head of the agr icultural de pa l'tment, was giving a lecture on s?iis, and mentioned the different kinds of soJ! water. Among them was "ooze water ," and in some wa y this word ;'ooze" tickled t he fa ncy of some members of the class. the word ooze Later , on the same day, a party of stu dents were on thei r way to Lansing, and as they walked along the road t hey decided to get up a yell. Havi ng t he word "ooze" ~resh ill mind, the yell as finally f ormed consisted of three "hoorays," three times, wit h M. A. C. and a tiger at the end. F rom this was evolved QUI' present " loco motive:' The wor d "oozeH has been con tracted into "Uz," but otherwi se the good old yell has remained the same, a nd has sen:eel to put the " pep" into many an l\L A.
