'U' Students
Will witness
PolgarShow
Hypnotist To Feature
Mind Demonstration;
Flying Saucer Feats
An attempt to solve the much-
publicized mystery of the flying
saucers will be made by Dr.
Franz Polgar during his "Fun with
the Mind" show, which will be pre-
sented at 8:15 p.m. today in Hill
Auditorium.
In a demonstration of mass hyp-
notism, Polgar will attempt to
make the audience "see" the mys-
terious objects flying in the audi-
torium through hypnotic sugges-
tion.
Tickets for the performance,
priced at $1.25 for reserved seats
and $1 and 75 cents for general
admission, will be on sale today
at the Hill Auditorium box office
until show time.
Music by Paul McDonough and
his combo will provide entertain-
ment before the performance.
Bill Boyle will actrasrmaster of
ceremonies for the show, which
is sponsored by the South Quad-
rangle for the benefit of the Uni-
versity Fresh Air Camp.
Polgar will select volunteers from
the audience to act as subjects for
his mental feats, which include
mind reading, memory demon-
strations and hypnosis.
As one mind-reading stunt, a
member of the audience will be
chosen to hide Polgar's check for
the performance somewhere in
hthe audience.
If the doctor is unable to find it,
led only by thought impulses from
the audience, the check will also
be donated to the Fresh Air Camp.
At a large Eastern university
recently he visited the psycholo-
gy department, where one of the
professors agreed to test his ac-
complishments in telepathy by
thinking about an object in the
room.
Polgar walked about the room,
picked up a white file folder, and
then dropped it and went to a mi-
croscope. He went around, pick-
ing up various objects in the
room, but returning time after
time to the folder.
Finally, he stopped at the fold-
er, declaring that he just
couldn't seem to stay away from
it.
"Well, that's what I wanted you
to pick up," the professor said,
"but darned if I was going to tell
you when you accomplished it."
The finale of "Fun with the
Mind" will be devoted to hypno-
tism. Subjects lose many of their
inhibitions and perform unexpect-
ed stunts under hypnotic sugges-
tion.
However, Polgar has emphasized
that no subject can be induced to
follow a hynotic suggestion against
his basic code of right and wrong.

The "Banjo Boys" and Bones Culver will be present to provide enter-
tainment for all guests.
* * * *

For Annua
Final preparations are being
made by the Forestry Club for
their annual Paul Bunyan Dance,
to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
tomorrow in 'Barbour-Waterman
Gymnasiums.
Tickets will be on sale today
and tomorrow in the Administra-
tion Building, by members of the
Forestry Club, and will also be
available at the door tomorrow
night. They are priced at $2.25.
The dance is open to the entire
campus, and official garb will be
blue jeans and bright plaid shirts.
Foresters are building the
"longest bar in Ann Arbor" in the
gymnasiums and will serve donuts
and cider in the old-fashioned
style. The area will be fenced off
with a genuine rail fence.
Instead of cash, customers will
pay "chits" for their refreshments.
C">----
Mitchell and his trumpet have
appeared at dances in Chicago
and Detroit as well as in radio,
theatre, light-opera and concerts.
He was a member of the U.S. Ar-
my Band during World War II.
This week members of the For-
estry Club have been touring the
campus to announce the coming
event of the Paul Bunyan Dance.
They organized a jug band and
borrowed a bandwagon for, the
occasions and entertained stu-
dents during the lunch hour. They
report the campaign was effective
and "even sedate professors and
decrepit old women smiled at our
antics."
"Plaid Shirt Week" was held
again this year, and all self-res-
pecting foresters were seen on
campus only in the roughest out-
door garb in order to prepare the
campus for the annual visit of
Paul Bunyan.
A report said that even profes-
sors in the natural resources
school wore blue jeans and plaid
shirts to their classes.
The first Paul Bunyan Dance
was held several years ago when
foresters decided they would pre-
sent a dance different than any-
thing held on campus before.
They rented an old barn and
went clad in blue jeans and plaid
shirts.
The idea developed into an an-
nual event, held in honor of the
greatest woodsman of them all,
Paul Bunyan.. Every forester will
spend hours retelling the tales of
his hero.

THERE THEY ARE-Prompted by the "flying saucer" talk which
has been sweeping the country, Dr. Franz Polgaar will attempt to
solve the "mystery" in an exhibition of mass hypnotism during
his "Fun with the Mind" show at 8:15 p.m. today in Hill Auditor-
ium. His performance at the University is sponsored by South
Quadrangle for the benefit of the Fresh Air CamP.
PSEUDO FATHERS:
Greeks Support Refugees
Under Foster Parents Plan
Assuming the role of "foster
parents" several fraternities have
"adopted" children through the
Foster aPrents' Plan for War
Children, Inc. this year.
In this position as "foster par-
ents" the Greeks have sent money
to support children in Belgium,
England, France, Western Ger-
many, Greece, Holland and Italy.
Each group that has "adopted"
a child has taken an active part
in his support.
The letters that the groups write
to the children, reports the Fos-
ter aPrents' headquarter, help to
raise the morale of each child.
At present five fraternities are
Foster Parents.
Alpha Tau Omega has been sup-
porting Alain George, a French
boy, for the past four years while
Beta Theta Pi has been the foster
parents of Zdzislaw Smolinski, a
Polish refugee in England, for two
years.
A little French Girl, Madeleine
Bouvet, has been sponsored by the
Chi Phi fraternity for two years
also.
The Phi Chi's became foster
parents for the first time this year
when they "adopted" Panayotis
Mantzos, a Greek boy.
Sigma Phi Epsilon became fos-
ter parents in 1948 when they be-
came the "wards" of Charalambos
Koumyoutzo.
Other fraternities that partici-
pated in the Foster Parents' Plan
in past years are Alpha Delta Phi
Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Delta,
Sigma Phi and Theta Delta Chi.
Two children were supported by
Phi Sigma Delta in 1947 and 1949.
The, need for "Foster Parents"
has increased in the past ten days
because the floods have brought
tragedy again to many of the
Dutch children.
At present the Plan is setting
up a program of individual relief
and rehabilitation for the children
in South Korea as well as ex-
tending the work to include the
children in the Displaced Persons
Camps in Germany.
In its fifteenth year of opera-
tion, the Plan has an increasing
list of sponsors and foster parents
including Fred Allen, Tallulah
Bankhead, Ira Gershwin, Herbert
Hoover, Helen Keller, Art Link-
letter, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Mrs.
Harry S. Trmuan and Esther Wil-
liams.
Two hundred red pines, cut by
Foresters on University property
at Saginaw Forest, are being fire-
proofed for the dance. The trees
will be "planted" in the gymna-
sium to create the atmosphere of
the Land of the Big Trees, the
traditional habitat of Paul Bun-
yan, guest of honor.
A huge statue of Paul and Babe,
his Blue Ox, will also decorate the
gymnasium.
Many exhibits of forestry equip-
ment and methods will be set up
for couples to look at. Some of
these are fisheries, smoke-jumpers
and wild life.
The exhibits and pamphlets
have been donated by the Michi-
gan Conservation Department, the
United States Forestry Service and
others.
Intermission entertainment will
feature a large number of prizes
to be given away. The winning
couple of a log-sawing contest
will be rewarded foi its efforts.
A prize will be awarded for the
person who guessts the age of a
tree from a cross-section of it.
Two sets of faculty and students
will demonstrate the proper tech-
niques of square-dancing. An old- k
time jug band will accompany
them. Abe Dalton and Harry Mo-
sher will do the calling.
Tom Smithberger will present
his specialty act of "Cigarets,
Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women."
A Charleston team will also dem-
onstrate their talents.
The entire intermission show
will be emceed by Harry Mosher.
Music for the evening will be
presented by Mitchell and his 13-
piece orchestra.
Mitchell features the popular
tunes of today and yesterday, with
musical arrangements including
swing, continental, Latin Ameri-
can and dixieland.
Patti-O'Dae will be featured on
the vocals. She has made appear-
ances at hotels, nightclubs and
dances in Detroit and Chicago.

in speech activities, scholarship
and participation in curricular and
extra-curricular activities.

magazine agency and a speech re-
habilitation project.
To carry out its purpose of stim-
ulating and encouraging worthy
speech enterprises, the University
of Michigan chapter has partici-
pated in several projects this year.
Besides uniting college women
in the different fields of speech
such as academic, theater, radio,
television and public address, Zeta
Phi Eta also recognizes many na-
tionally known women as honorary
members.
