Dunninger 'Needs Transmitter,

'I really read thoughts", is the
statement of Dunninger in his
explanation of his ability to read
minds.
"I read minds through the pos-H
session of extra-sensory faculties,

until the accidental manisfesta

me, matured to an unfailing tech

Three students from Selleck

abilities of Dunninger, according

each of which contains a thought,
will be presented to Dunninger.
The thoughts contained in the
nvelope are all related and form
one complete message.
Dunninger will be asked to de

and the message of the combined
thoughts.

Committees Named:

The 45th annual Engineering
Week, scheduled for April 25 and
26, will have 13 committees to
organize and coordinate the vari
ous phases of the activities, ac
cording to Jim Souders and Jerry
Sinor, co-chairmen.
Committees and their chairman
are: Treasurer, Ray Valasek;
Banquet, Roger Berger; Contest,

Bob Jameson, Jim Weaver, and
Robert Smidt.
Faculty Advisors for E-Week
are Herbert Bates, professor, of
chemical engineering, and Donald
Pierce, professor of engineering
mechanics.
E-Week is conducted by the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture. It is designed to show
University students and the gen
eral public what the field of en
gineering involves and the edu
cational opportunities it offers, ac
cording to Bob Jameson, publicity
chairman.
The highlight of the week is the
open house, which features dis
plays showing the work of each
department, says Jameson.
Each department's engineering
society names a committee to
supervise its activities during the
week. Chairmen of these commit
tees are Norvin Pearce and
Vaughn Nelson, agricultural en
gineers; Larry Westerbeck and

with special emphasis on problems
of plant cultivation.
Szabo of Moso, Hungary attended
Agriculture High School. Upon
graduating he served in the Hun
garian army for three years. Szabo
was not accepted for the Univer
sity in Hungary because his fam
ily was considered a political risk.
During his time in the army he
succeeded in enrolling in the
School of Farming in Budapest,
which he was attending when the
revolt began. .
Steven Takacs hopes to enter the
College of Engineering.
He will live at the" Sigma Chi
house, according to Ken Vosika,
president.
All three students received high
recommendations from the inter
viewers who also tuggested that
they receive scholarships.
Letters commending the action
taken by students in the Hungar

many, including letters from Ro
man L. Hruska and Carl T. Curtis,
Senators from Nebraska, and Vice
President Richard Nixon.
Sf
curacy", he also states. "The rea
son for this is that I cannot read
the thoughts of a person who re
fuses to concentrate, or opposes
me. When disharmony exists, the
impressions I receive are chaotic,
hazy, disjointed and result in par
tial answers or complete failure;
and invariably, at the. start of my
performances, 90 or more of
those present are skeptics and
10 believers I might add that at
the end of the show, those figures
are usually reversed."
"In one last word about my abil
ity", he finishes by saying,' "I
want to make it clear that my
ability has no connection whatso
ever with the supernatural I ab
hor the implication that it has,
and make a point of disclosing
tricks of fakers and so called 'me
diums'. Any five year-old child
can duplicate my most amazing
exploits after twenty years of
practicing concentration."
The University Psychology De
partment refused comment on
Dunninger's claims.
Dunninger will appear at the
Coliseum, Friday, Feb. 22 at 8
p.m., according to Marilyn Heck,

is to give all interested schools
the opportunity to participate in a
well rounded forensic program.
A sweepstakes trophy has been
added this year to heighten the
competition according to Olson.
"Because we would like to en
courage Quality work in many
phases of forensic activity, we are
going to award a sweepstake tro
phy to the school with the best
overall record in all activities,
based on quality ratings received,"
he said.
"Although a school may enter
more than two students in discus
sion, only the record of the two
highest discussants will be consid
ered for the sweepstakes trophy.
The University will be declared in
eligible in competition for the
sweepstakes trophy."
The 90 debate teams from Wis
consin, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa,

Dr. Hardin said the increase was

The increase in the University's

youth who are interested in fur
