Telepathist Polgar Astounds Students, Loses Car in the Deal , By Bob Hoke "I couldn't 'find my- car," said the little red-faced man in formal clothes after he had just finished astounding a Gerrard hall audience by memory feats. Dr. Franz J. Polgar, world-famous master of psychic phenomena, sat in a Chapel Hill restaurant late Monday night and told how his absentminded ness concerning the car had occurred. He had just completed the most en trancing program ever presented to the student body by the Graham Me morial student union. "The exhibition of the photographic mind in a series of rapid-fire tests is accomplished by focusing the mind on the particular task; my mind ds trained for this. In small details, am often absent-minded," he stated. The car was found after a half -hour's search of four campus parking lots. 'The performance was extremely hard tonight," said the man with the hypnotic eyes. The doctor was re ferring to the undisciplined attitude of the crowd of students that over flowed tiny Gerrard hall. Student con versation all day yesterday was cen tered on the amazing .wonders that had occurred "before their very eyes. Mass hypnosis was the generally con ceded most popular and amazing jest Of hypnosis, the doctor said "It's very dangerous. I might even tell them that they had eaten poison and they might die." Well known students either stood rigidly against the wall or displayed impossible sensations that the mental-master suggested. A coed's shoe and legs drew the doctor's attention several times during the telepathy feat. He even asked the young lady to take off her shoe. "Yes, there were several powerful con centrated thoughts beside the correct one," said the performer. A complete issue of Collier's maga zine was memorized in eight minutes, torn into bits and distributed through out the audience.! As students called out the portions of the particular pages that they held, the doctor quickly and unhesitantly told what was on that particular part of that page.
