Men Coeds
- To Compete
For Awards
With the end of the semester
fast approaching, campus shut-
ter-bugs have only a little over a
week before the Jan. 15 deadline
set for the Union Amateur Photo
Contest.
All entries in the community-
wide contest must be at the Stu-
dent Offices on the main floor of
the Union by 5 p.m. on that Fri-
day.
* « «
REPRESENTING the first time
such a contest has been sponsored
by the Union, the competition will
feature exhibition of all pictures
entered, many prizes for winners
in all divisions and a possible
chance for national publication of
contest winners.
Strictly for amateur photog-
raphers, both men and coeds, the
contest has been divided into
three divisions. Prints depicting
University and Ann Arbor scenes
will be placed in the campus
and community scenes section,
while pictures involving some
phases of University academic
work will be judged under the
division entitled curriculum.
This latter group includes prints
taken in classes, dorms and so
on.
All pictures showing athletic, so-
cial and campus activities will be
entered in the extra-curriculum
division.
* * *
ALL ENTRIES, which must be
5 by 7 inches-in size, will be judged
soon after the contest deadline by
representatives sent by the var-
ious camera dealers who are con-
tributing prizes. Several faculty
members will also be included on
the judging board.
According to plans made by
the committee in charge of the
contest, there will be two judges
for each division, plus a judge
who will award the grand prize.
Heading the award list is an
Argus C-3 camera with a cintar
F:3.5 coated lense. This grand prize
will be awarded for the best over-
all picture, irrespective of division.
WITH A FIRST and second
prize planned for each of the three
divisions, the awards will be main-
ly in the form of gift certificates,
ranging from $5 to' $15. These
have been contributed by various
local camera dealers and mer-
chants. Also among the prizes is
a $20 Ansco camera.

GOT THE SHOT?-An enterprising young shutterbug searches for
prize-winning material to enter the Union-sponsored photography
contest. All entries must be in the Union Student Offices by
5 p.m. Friday, January 15.
the community as well as to Uni- have been informed of the tentA-
versity students, residents of
Ann Arbor are invited to enter
their prints.
Each person may present as
many pictures for judging as he
wishes, providing each is accom-
panied by an entry blank.
* * *
THESE ENTRY blanks may be
obtained at the Student Offices,
as well as at the various contribu-
ting merchants.
No name or markings of any
sort may appear on an entry
other than what might appear in
the photograph itself. Pictures,
each of which must be submitted
by the person who took it, are
to be unmounted.
As well as planning the local
contest, members of the commit-
tee have also been working on ar-
rangements for a national Union
photo contest. In order to find out
what other schools might think of
the idea, questionnaires were sent
out to over 200 colleges.
ACCORDING to contest chair-
man Mark Gallon, the results of
the poll have supported the idea
almost entirely.
Tentative plans for the nar.
tional contest, which would be.
centered here in Ann Arbor, call
for display and judging at the
Union. Various camera compan-
ies would be offered a chance to
cooperate in the plans.
Several national publications
tive plans. One national mag zine
has offered to publish the win -
ning entries in the local contes't,
providing they are of an appr Dp-
,riate type.

The 1951-52 Women's League
Council made the original plans
to raise funds for the sound-proof-
ing and furnishing of the three
music listening rooms on the third
floor of the League.
This project was established in
memory of the late Barbara J.
Little, Delta Delta Delta alumna
and former chairman of the Wo-
men's Judiciary Council, who died
in an accident in the summer of
1951.
The listening rooms were fi-
nanced by contributions of the
League activities since 1952. In
that year Frosh Weekend, Sopho-
more Cabaret, Junior Girls' Play,
Senior Supper and the Summer
Session gave almost $3,000.
The following year the same ac-
tivities again gave over $2,000,
which was supplemented by spec-
ial contributions by individuals
and a $200 gift from Delta Delta
Delta to be used for purchasing
furniture' in listening room 'B.'
A picture of Miss Little also ap-
pears in the room.
This special fund paid for the
sound-proofing, painting, draper-
ies, rugs, lamps and furniture

Halls, universities, conventions
and other groups. .He performed
here last February in Hill Audi-
torium. The program was spon-
sored by South Quadrangle for the
benefit of the University Fresh Air
Camp.
Polgar is a medium-sized, al-
most shy fellow with a smile-
wrinkled face. He likes people
and has a keen sense of humor.
He has lectured in this country
since 1933, when he came from
Hungary. He was a student of
psychoanalysis, hypnosis and
other psychic phenomena.
When Polgar appears before an
audience, billed as a man who can
read minds, memorize whole ma-
gazines at a single sitting and
hypnotize many persons simultan-
eously, some of "the throng are
antagonistic, shouting at him
mentally, "All right, you got us

Polgar gained national publi-
city when he hypnotized the
Georgia Tech football team the
day before they were to play
Alabama. Georgie Tech won the
game.
When the team lost their game
the following week without Pol-
gar's services, Atlanta papers pro-
claimed, "The team needs Polgar."
POLGAR, WHO lists college
students as his best subjects and
New Yorkers as the most difficult,
has hypnotized approximately 15,-

Polgar himself has never at-

to say that it must be an illis-
