In Return Show at H ill
Dr. Franz J. Polgar, world fam-
ous telepathist and hypnotist, will
perform for University students at
8:30 p.m., Friday, January 15 in
Hill Auditorium.
Polgar has given over 1100 pro-
grams in the past three years be-
fore outstanding forums, Town
Halls, Universities, conventions
and other groups. He performed
here last February in Hill Audi-
torium.
* * *
TICKETS FOR this year's pro-
gram are priced at $1.25 for re-
served seats and $1 for general ad-
mission, Roger Kidston, president
of Inter-House Council has an-
nounced.
The Polgar Show co-chairmen
are Dave Gross and Jon Collins,
who will be assisted by their sec-
retary, Marcia Saltz.
Sub-chairman for the produc-
tion are: tickets, Ron Charfoss;
auditorium. Jim Marvri; publicity,
Barbara Greenfield and posters,
Sherwin Sokolov.
Dr. Polgar was so sure of him-
self and his master memory of
telepathy when he first took to
the lecture platform in this coun-
try, that while his manager looked
on in horror, he challenged an
audience at the Detroit Town Hall
Forum.
* * *
"HIDE MY check for giving this
performance," he said. "I'll go out-
side and you can send as many
people as you wish to watch me.
If I can't find the check when I
come back, you keep it and tonight
is all for fun."
The audience hid the check un-
der the hat of a woman seated in
the center of the hall. Polgar sim-
ply asked for a _volunteer known
to the audience to give him mental
directions.
Then he hurried down the aisle,
shoved his way past protruding
knees in the particular row, arriv-
ed at the woman and her hat-
never having seen her before-and
produced the check. It took him
four minutes to complete the job
of locating one woman in 2000 to
find his pay for the evening.
