Knickerbocker
Once Studied
In Psychiatry
' .
Psychiatry may have lost a dis-
tinguished son in the Munich of 1923
when Hitler began his notorious "Beer
Hall Putsch" and psychiatry stu-
dent Hubert Renfro Knickerbocker'
became a foreign correspondent over
night.
Now a nationally known corres-I
pondent, H. R. Knickerbocker will
address more than 5,000 persons ex-
pected to attend the fifth Oratorical
Series lecture at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow
in Hill Auditorium on the topic "At
the Ringside of History." 4
While his topic will be a review of
the great news events of the "thrill-
ing thirties," it will also be autobi-
ographical. A native of Texas, Mr.
Knickerbocker left newspaper work in
the United States to pursue advanced
study in psychiatry abroad. Pressed
into service for the American news-
papers when he developed the facul-
ty of being 'on the scene' when im-
portant news stories broke, Mr. Knic-
kerbocker finally accepted a lucra-
ive offer from the International News
Service and remained to become their
leading trouble-shooter.
Among the sensational scoops he
scored is an "expose" of a plot by
Gregory Orloff, former councilor of
state to the Russian Empire, to im-
plicate Senators.Borah and Norris in
a scandal over America's recognition
of the Soviet Union.

ker, '42, will act as publicity chair-
man of the sub-committee.
Charles Buck, '40, president of the
Committee, reported on the National
'Congress of the Youth Committee
Against War held at Chicago during
the holidays at which more than 400
delegates from 38 states attended. "We
were immensely impressed at the fine
turn out of young men and women
united in the effort to keep the
United States out of war," he said.
Six delegates from the University
attended the Congress.

Students Save Stenog
Set Upon By Squirrel
Like Finland invading Russia, a,
campus squirrel left his wind-blown
tree-home yesterday and sought the
warmth and quiet of Angell Hall.
His tail twitching nervously, he in-
vaded one of the groundfloor offices
and leered at a stenographer, who
screamed as if she had seen a ram-
pant tiger.
Several men students came to the
rescue, took off their coats and waved
them at the squirrel, like matadors
flaunting their capes at a bull.
Nothing daunted, the squirrel
dashed upstairs and tried to climb
a plate-glass window. He was
dumped like coal down a shute. The
blow to his dignity was too much.
He retreated at the advance of the
matadors and leaped, quivering with
relief, to the safety of an oak.

By JEAN SHAPERO
After the development of the
Michigan Wolverine into a large-
scale business, a system of organiza-
tion had to be found, and the present
representative method was finally
evolved.
Under this scheme each of the
members has a vote in the selection
of the nine-member board of direc-
tors, to which authority to conduct
all business is delegated. This year's
board is composed of: Prof. Paul
Mueschke and Mr. Robert Horner of
the faculty, John M. Scheibe, '42M
(president), Calvin Chamberlain, '41L,
'secretary, vice-president), Alfred
Hafke, Grad.,Charles Mitrovich, '40L,
James Gribble, '40BAd., Jack Hoover,
'40, and Arthur Kepka, '41L.
All workers at the Wolverine are
students, except nine professional
workers. Any of the 85 student work-
ers may work up to one of the three
administrative positions, as the policy
of the Wolverine has been to hire
men who have had experience in the
corporative.
At the end of each semester a cap-
tain of each of the kitchen crews is
appointed and from these captains
are chosen the assistants to the Per-
sonnel Manager, Purchasing Agent,'
and Treasurer.
The systematized organization has
enabled the Wolverine to perform
a book on Design
s and of numerous
searches on water
