FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE Weekend Events To Include Polgar Exhibition, Paul Bun yan Dance K.. s * * s '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. Scholars Honored At Martha Cook Residents of Martha Cook who received 4.0 averages last semester were honored at the dormitory's annual formal scholarship din- ner last night. Among the women who received a traditional silver spoon with their initials as a reward were Mary Catherine Hutchins, Elise Kuhl, Joan Larsen, and Alice Men- cher. Also honored in this manner were Shirley Swinson, Joyce Win-: ter and Nancy Wright. In addition, the 12 coeds with the next highest averages received corsages. _______ -4' .41 I 11111111 flhl~f'~~llII&Il I' 1LJ1 II II II II'~.

Delta Chi will begin festivities tonight with an informal record dance. Entertainment in the form of a skit will be provided by the fraternity brothers. Cake and punch will be served afterwards. * * * * A RECORD DANCE is in store for a Jordan-Gomber House mixer. Refreshments will also be on hand. The Phi Delta Phi's will spend this evening dancing with their dates to the music of many a great band via records. The secret, deep-down thoughts of many a Chi Phi and his date will be revealed at their "Suppressed Desire" party tomorrow night. The "Banjo Boys" and Bones Culver will be present to provide enter- tainment for all guests. * * * * RUMOR HAS IT that Detroit hoods, palm trees, and French bathing suits all will be in evidence. "Who knows what evil lurks in the mind of man?" Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Delta Phi members will be found at informal record dances. Crepe-paper decorations and multicolored lights will set the scene at Adams House's informal dance for couples returning from the bas- ketball and hockey games. * * * * PHI KAPPA PSI men and their dates will be located dancing to the Ann Arbor Alley Cats in an atmosphere reminiscent of old-time New Orleans. A "Technicolor Party" is in store for the Alpha Epsilon Pi members Saturday night. Zoot suit figures will carry out the theme. Lox and bagels will be served to all comers. Hinsdale House will acquire a French atmosphere as murals mounted on the walls and candlelit tables bring out the French Apache motif. "Gambling" will.take place and a door prize will be given to some lucky Apache. * * * * DOUGHNUTS AND CIDER will be served to all Sigma Alpha Mu couples at their informal party following the basketball game. Platters will be spinning at the Sigma Nu, Phi Sigma Kappa, and Phi Delta Theta and Phi Gamma Delta houses for all the men and their dates. Taylor and Huber Houses will feature individual parties in each man's room at their annual "Open Open." After 10 p.m. all will join together for a combined dance to the music of Marty Greenwald. * * * L* UNDER THE SPREADING palm trees will be found the Sigmai Alpha Epsilon members at their South Sea Island Party. Hula dancers and missionaries will be found dancing around a volcano in the middle of the floor out of which is flowing molten lava. 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. t -Daily-Betsy Smith 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. v-1nvO.

Dancing will occupy the rest of Speech Fraternity Selects Women For Membership Thirteen coeds were initiated into Zeta Phi Eta, national pro- fessional speech arts fraternity, recently at the home of Mrs. Claribel Baird. New members were selected on the basis of interest and support in speech activities, scholarship and participation in curricular and extra-curricular activities. New initiates include Melba Abril-Lamarque, Mary Ann Al- exander, Beverly Arment, Gwen Arner, Barbara Carse, Vonda Genda and Joan Heiderer. The list concludes with Carolyn Krigbaum, Marilyn McWood, Mar- garet Paysner, Jacqueline Schiff, Virginia Spurrier and Patricia Texter. Acting as a professional aid, the fraternity has several national projects such as the Mildred Streeter Scholarship Loan fund, a 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.
