Polgar, telepathist and hypnotist extraordinary, will be presented in his "Miracles of the Mind" show tonight at 8 o'clock in Memorial Hall as the final attraction on the Student .entertainment committee pro gram for the current year. Polgar's exhibition of mind reading, memory feats, and mass hypnotism with volunteers from the audience will be admission free to all University students. However, admission will also be sold to non-students, according to Scotty Venable, chairman of the . SEC which is appropriated funds by Student Legislature to bring varied attractions of inter est to the campus. For 75 cents each, faculty members, student wives, and townspeople may pur chase tickets when the doors of Memorial Hall open at 7 o'clock one hour before the show begins. This will be a return engage ment to the University for the mental wizard who scored such a hit in an appearance here last year that he was brought back the next week to his second capacity crowd in Memorial Hall. His making different student vol unteers from the audience imagine themselves three years old, stuck to their chairs, or intoxicated on ordinary water could not ze ex plained by sceptics here but was generally enjoyed by all who wit nessed his stunts at that time. It is understood that "The Amazing Dr. Polgar" will open his program tonight with his standard trick that of letting the audience hide his check for this performance anywhere in the buildng while he s taken offstage and watched by three local stu dents. If he is unable to find the check upon returning onstage, Polgar stipulates that he will per form tonight without any charges to the SEC. Previously he has lo cated checks secreted in women's hats and even under a man's up per plate. Dr. Polgar has been tested by psychology professors and specia lists at many universities and medical . centers, and his powers for actual thought transference have never been disproved. Hav ing toured for many years since he gained these unusual mental abilties following a head wound in World War I, this showman is held in high esteem in the enter tainment world. Evidence of that is his being the only member of his profession to be listed in "Who's Who in America." Cosmopolitans, CCUNwill Hear Talk by Brandis "The Atlantic Pact and the United Nations," will be the topic of Dr. Henry Brandis' address be fore .a combined meeting of the Cosmopolital club and CCUN to morrow night at 8:15 in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. Dr. Brandis' address will close a day of activities for the two organiza tions. Tomorrow afternoon, a state wide radio network will carry a panel discussion on the same topic. The panel is made up of Dr. Brandis, dean of the law school; Dr. Arnold Nash, head of the de partment of religion; Mr. Rus sell Grumman, director of the ex tension division; and Mr. Ken La wry, graduate student from Devon, England. The broadcast has been arrenged through the communications center and was transcribed last week for re-broadcast. The Cosmopolitan club will hold a supper meeting . for its members Wednesday night at 6:30 at the First Baptist church. Mem bers who wish to attend the sup per are urged to secure tickets from Ken Lawry, 105 "B" dorm.

Dr. Polgar is making a return engagement after a successful appearance here last year. His publicity releases warn readers to avoid staring at the above picture for there is a possibility thai a person can become hypno tized from looking at it. NC Symphony Opens Member Drive This Week The annual membership drive of the North Carolina Symphony Society is being conducted on the campus this week as a prelude to the May 2 appearance of the Full Symphony Orchestra in Memori al Hall. The drive will be highlighted by a fund-raising competition be tween fraternities, sororities, and men and women's dormitories. The particular fraternity, sorority or dormitory which collects the largest amount of money will have the privilege of naming one of the selections to be presented by the orchestra on the local pro gram. The money, which will be collected through ticket sales and contributions, will be turned over to the Symphony Society. Stu dent membership will cost $1.20 and the tickets, which . can be purchased at the Pan-Hellenic booth in the "Y," will enable the holder to attend all concerts of the orchestra prior to the local presentation. The North Carolina Symphony, under the direction of Dr. Benja min Swalin, is the only organiza tion of its type to receive yearly grants of money from the state government. The orchestra tours the state each year, carrying sym phonic music to all the people and presenting special free pro grams for children. Russian Art: Bad and Emma Lou Davis, Renowned UNC Sculpfurist Wants To See Art "Returned To The People' By Henry Albright A solo flight to California in her private plane and back dur ing Spring Holidays is nothing to Guest Art Instructor Emma Lu Davis. As a matter of fact being a not ed sculpturist, visiting in many foreign nations studying art, and working and teaching in all sec tions of the United States is just an every day occurence to Miss Davis. "I love to just bum around and meet new ideas of art and sculpture, and I'll probably never settle down to one locale for too. long a period of time, the at tractive sculpturist said. "If you have the desire and the push, you can visit anywhere in the world and do exactly as I have," she continued. When asked about her impres sion of the Russian artist and his work when she visited in Russia in 1935, the artist said, "The Rus sian popular taste is toward bad and tawdry styles in painting and sculpture. Russia has not a broad or intelligent popular base of ap preciation of beautiful projects." Rt she continued, "I believe J that the Soviet artist enjoys the Madry, Lanier Speak at Town Meet Tonight Ed Lanier Answers League's Questions The Chapel Hill League of 'omen Voters have scheduled a .orum meeting for . tonight at eight-thirty in the school building -o which all candidates for May vr, Recorder's Court Judge, and Uiree Aldermen's places have oeen invited. The League has asked the can aidates to state their position on iour questions, and have noti fied the candidates that each will nave five to seven minutes to an swer the questions and to state his views "on any other issues he believes to. be of importance." The election will be held in Chapel Hill May 3. Yesterday Edwin S. Lanier, candidate for Mayor, said, "The League's questions are important and I want to answer them. How ever, I want to do so before Tues day night. There are other im portant matters I want to dis cuss at that time. I cannot cover those items and the League's questions in seven minutes." La nier then outlined his reply to the League's questions, as fol lows: "Would I favor an ordinance change limiting School Board, Recreation Commissioners and Planning Board Members to one term, prohibiting a member from succeeding himself? These of fices are appointive by the Board of Aldermen, which Board keeps itself informed about the inter est, activity, and diligence of these officers. Appointments which prove unsatisfactory have a slim chance of getting four of the six aldermen's votes for re appointment. -A conscientious, competent, alert member of eith er of these groups may not be willing to succeed himself, but he should not be," by ordinance, de clared ineligible to do so. "Would I favor financial sup port for recreation in Chapel Hill, the money to come from other than tax funds?" I believe in the values of organized, super vised recreatiorr programs for our children, but I am unwilling to appropriate from the town's revenues the funds necessary for such programs without a vote of the people. I am willing and ready to submit that question to a vote of the people, provided the people are given prior to the elec tion a statement from the Board of Aldermen of the other urgent, unfilled community needs. We simply cannot, within our present fees and taxable resources, have (See LANIER, page 4) Tawdry EMMA happiest situation in the world from- an economic-social stand point: as a trade union member he enjoys protection and social security, he never lacks employ ment, and building and decora tive projects are broad enough ft Y'--s V A ofett? - , -.. h,....m.W...mi,i..,h.i I HI.

Wiley of the Romance Languages Department will give the Faculty Humanities Lecture for the current quarter in eGr rard Hall at 8:30 tonight.

The lectures are intended to present members of the University faculty in talks adapted to non-specialists, under graduate and graduate students, members of the faculty in all de partments, and townspeople.

The lec tures this year, for example, pre sented medieval Italy, England of the Restoration period, and now Renaissance France. , French Farce Is Now in Rehearsal Rehearsals for the 17th Cen tury French farce, Moliere's "Le Medecin Malgre Lui," are now in progress as the Theatre Francais is preparing to present their an nual production on May 5 and 6 in the Playmaker Theatre.

"The principle job needed in all art schools is to allow the artist to become more familiar with the principles of good workmanship, Miss Davis continued, "I think Groups Repeat For Second Year In Valkyrie Sing "Repeating, for the second straight year, Chi Omea sorority and Sigma Cru fraternity won the annual Valkyrie sing . last night in Memorial Hall.

Atom Bcmb Planes Going: to England WASHINGTON, April 25 (UP) An Air Force spokesman said today the 509th Bomber Group is being sent to England for train ing as part of a regular rotatior plan that has no connection witr Jits atom bombing experience. there are a great many artists, bu' awfully few real craftmen. The use of tools, and neat, fast, strong construction are not taught ex tensively in art schools and I have tried to set. up just such a depart ment in New East Annex." The artist of the Medieval per iod had the correct idea, she brought out, for they all worked together in a craft and each per son had an active part in the building of the great cathedrals and other precious works of art. With the breaking down of this system, art has slowly grown away from the people and only a select few now receive the advantage of appreciating and understanding art. Until art is re turned to the people, to love and to understand, there can be no great art works, inis return is slowly being done now in modern advertisement and magazines. When the artist was questioned more about her foreign travels she left her drill machine long enough to wipe har hands and brow to explain in one breath, "I was in China in 1937 and had a one-man exhibition in Peiping, at the Peiping Institute of Fine .
