Victory Bell Rings Out Doom For Jayhawks at First Rally J. Dunningcr, Mind-Reader, Appears Here Joseph Dunninger, famous mas ter mind and accomplished hypnotist, will appear at the coli seum Friday, Oct. 20, in the first of the Town Hall series sponsored by the Lincoln junior league. "Thought reading is not fortune telling. It is not psychic or super natural. It is a trained ability to read what is in the thoughts of persons who cooperate by con centrating. But there must be co operation. I can't read a mind that is closed against me," Dun ninger pointed out. It is Dunninger's belief that every person has some gift, some faculty for doing something, which, if developed, he can do better than anyone else. Most people aren't lucky enough to dis cover their gifts early enough to develop them to a high degree. Dunninger's unusual extra-sen sory perception became apparent at the age of 8, while he was in grammar school arithmetic class. Althought not adept at numbers, he always had the correct an swer. The teacher kept moving him to various parts of the room and searched him for copy notes but could never find any. "There were 60 kids in the class, the master mind explained, and at least 50 of them usually solved the problems correctly. With 50 minds concentrating, how could I miss?" Whenever anyone rang the doorbell at home, or called by telephone, he always advised the family in advance as to who the caller was. Even at the age of 5, he showed (See DUNNINGER, page 4.)
