New Officers of
Military Staff
Now on Campus
Major C. E. Knickerbocker,
newly-added officer to the Oregon
military staff, arrived on the
campus yesterday to take up ac
tive duty as professor of military
science. After reviewing the
ROTC cadets in the weekly uni
form parade, he complimented
Colonel Robert M. Lyon, head of
the military department, on the
excellence of the drill.
“To an officer unfamiliar with
the drill, the corps makes a
splendid appearance,” said Major
Knickerbocker.
The new officer comes to Ore
gon under a recent army provi
sion calling retired officers to
active duty for instructional work
in ROTC corps. He raises the
total number of military science
instructors on the campus to five.
Major Knickerbocker was ac
companied by his wife, and they
plan to make their home in Eu
gene during the officer’s term of
active duty at Oregon.
In a long and distinguished ser
vice record, Major Knickerbocker
has seen service in many parts of
the world. Before the first world
war, he was stationed in Panama,
Mexico, and the Philippines. At
the outbreak of hostilities, he was
immediately transferred to the
91st division, and served in
France and Belgium. At the close
of the war, the major returned
to a post at Fort Lewis, Washing
ton. Then for several years he
traveled about the United States
at various stations, finally re
turning to Portland, Oregon,
where he instructed the organ
ized officers reserves for five and
a half years. His last post was
with the First infantry at Fort
Warren, Wyoming, from where
he retired until his present recall
to active duty.
Cavanagh Out
On Limb; Rain
Pursuing Him
Weather for the Canoe Fete
tonight is reported generally fair
and slightly cooler, partly cloudy
with occasional showers, north
west winds, pleasant with no
mention of rain, unsettled, and
fair.
After Chairman John Cavan
agh expressed worry that rain
might spoil the climax-capping
event of Junior Weekend, weath
er reports were consulted in an
effort to determine whether Jupe
Pluvius would smile or frown.
Looks as if he’ll go through a
whole pantomime. The almanac
said “pleasant.” Regular weather
reports announced “Occasional
showers.” Official sources de
creed “Generally fair.” Another
source definitely asserted that
there was “no mention of rain.”
Weather bulletins predicted
“Northwest winds.”
So Cavanagh continues to tear
his hair . . . and gnaw his finger
nails . . . and mutter. . . .

Oregon Students in
Psychology Meet
By JONATHAN KAHANANUI
Does the groundhog remember
where he left his "slippers” upon
waddling out of his hole on the
tail of spring after hibernating
all winter? If one drank a quart
of whiskey in a hypnotic state
would he remember the proced
ure when released (providing he
didn’t flop on the floor or there
abouts) ? Discussion on questions
relative in principal to the above
will ensue, when the Oregon
Psychological association meets
at 11 a.m. today at Oregon State
college, it was announced.
Dr. Howard Taylor, head of
the University of Oregon psychol
ogy department, will participate
in a roundtable discussion on
"How Can the Social Workers
in Rural Communities Secure
Adequate and Reliable Informa
tion Regarding the Mentality
and Mental Organization of the
Children They Must Work With ?”
Motion Pictures Billed
Motion pictures illustrating
“Maze Learning of Golden-Man
teled Ground' Squirrels,” with
Monroe Shelley and Ula Weight,
O. of O. phych students, in
charge, will show squirrels learn
ing maze routes with peanuts for
inspiration. The 'eventual objec
tive will be to determine whether
the animals remember these
paths after a regular period of
hibernation, during which activ
ity is practically nil.
Aided by incomplete pictures
that subjects identify quite read
ily during hypnosis but fail to
re-name upon being brought back
to normal, Don Davis and Frank
Nestor, University of Oregon,
will describe the virtual impos
sibility of remembering anything
one experienced while hypno
tized. Topic of their presenta
tion is "The Influence of Hypnot
ic Amnesia on Perceptual Organ
ization.”

Eight Spending
Weekend in
Infirmary Beds
While 5000 students and guests
of the University enojy the hos
pitality and entertainment of
Junior Weekend, eight people will
be at the festivities in thought
only—they will be in the infirm
ary.
The six students who will spend
the weekend in infirmary beds
are Bob Skelley, Terry Mullin,
Alice Clark, Patricia Howard, Jan
Brevet, and Bob McAuliffe, phy
sicians predict.
Who are the other two who
must miss the fun of the year’s
biggest weekend? They are the
too-oft forgotten nurses on duty.

Master Dance
Campus Satire
Mothers, Students
See Recital in
Gerlinger Hall
Campus life, from sedate pro
fessors to scatter-brained coeds,
was satirized last night in the
annual spring recital of Master
Dance, presented in Gerlinger
hall for visiting mothers and stu
dents.
The program was directed by
Miss Pirkko Paasikivi, instruc
tor in physical education and
head of Master Dance. Assisting
in the recital were high school
and University classes in inter
pretive dancing. Musical director
was Kay Holman.
“Our campus” was the name of
the satire on campus life—sedate
professors, the “beauty - not -
brainy” coeds, the glamous girls
—definitely decorative—the cam
pus “brains—the Phi Betes— all
portrayed with insight and a can
did tinge.
Take-off on “ordinary folks”
was “Us Humans,” a revelation
of the vices and virtues of man
kind.
The “Springtime in Vienna”
theme was portrayed in “Waltz
ing Through the Rye” and “Vi
enna.” “Prologue to War” and
“Carnival” completed the pro
gram.
