f Hypnotist. .

South Quadrangle residents yes-
terday received a preview of Dr.
Franz Polgar's hypnotic powers,
which wTill be featured in his "Fun
with the Mind" program at 8:15
p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, in Hill Au-
ditorium.
In an informal demonstration
in Club 600, Polgar hypnotized vol-
unteer subjects from the audience.
pHOWING THE power of post-
hypnotic suggestion, Polgar told
one student under hypnosis that,
when he was awakened, he would
feel that the chair in which he
was sitting was electrically char-
ged whenever the doctor touched
f the knot of his tie.
Until Polgar took away the
suggestion; the student jumped
from his "hot seat" each time
the tie was touched-even when
he returned to a seat in the au-
dience.
A burning match held under a
hypnotized subject's hand had no
visible effect, and he could not
explain the carbon marks after-
wards.
ONE GROUP of students was
hypnotized by reading c a r d s
which Polgar had given them
while they were listening to his
voice.
These men, under a sugges-
tion from Polgar that it was
Dean Walter Rea's birthday,
dragged the Dean to the plat-
form and led the group in sing-
ing "Happy Birthday" to him.

Polgar failed to hypnotize Dean
Rea.
Even shaking hands with Pol-
gar can lead to hynosis, other vol-
unteers found. A quick hand shake
put many of them into hypnotic
sleep.
Polgar told the assembled audi-!
ence that hypnosis occurs in the
individual's own mind as a result
of his own concentration, and
that an unwilling subject cannot
be hypnotized.

Request Voted On
By Board of Reps

Members of the Panhellenic and

hours every afternoon this week
in their offices in the League for
freshmen women interested in pe-
titioning for Frosh Weekend.
Petitions for the Weekend are
due at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow in the
Undergraduate Office of the

place next week to decide the 24
committee heads.
A dual central committee, com-
posed of 12 coeds on each team, is
in charge of putting on the event.
One team sponsors a dance and
floorshow one night and the next
night the other team holds their
dance and floorshow. Judges de-
cide which team will receive top
honors on the basis of ticket sales,
program design, floorshow and
decorations.
Freshmen coeds were placed on
one of the two teams kt League
Night, a scheduled event which
was held during Orientation Week
in September.
Two women, one for each team,
will be chosen for the following
positions: chairman, assistant

chairman, and awards and judges.
decorations, finance, floorshow and
assistant fioorshow chairmen.
The list continues with chair-
men of patrons, programs, publi-
city, assistant publicity and tick-

Frosh Weekend is managed and
produced exclusively by freshm6n
coeds. The performance, however,
is open to the entire campus.
For the first presentation of the
weekend, the Maize team selected
"Commotion in the Ocean" as its
theme, while the Blue Team chose
to work on "Deuces Wild."
This was in 1949, and the Blues
were victorious. The next year,
the Maize team took a look at the
roaring twenties with their heroine
Maizie, but the Blue team was
again victorious with its presenta-
tion of "Watch the Birdie."
In 1951 the Blues presented
"The Scoop" while the Maize
team took top honors with "Make
Mine Moccasins."
Last year the Blues won again
with "Pardon My Politics" and the
Maize team presented "Moonshine
Madness."
