braved the snow storm friday night to attend the student concerts-lectures series at grace hall arriving one minute before he was scheduled to begin the pres entation dunninger made ev eryone forget the storm outside by telling of his seven hour trip from jersey city three hours of which were spent between eas ton and bethlehem he amazed his audience with tricks ranging from the production of a glassful of water from an ap parently empty velvet bag to the flawless reproduction of serial num bers of dollar bills in the hands of persons in the audience the man who has bewildered such eminent scientists as the late edison and steinmetz fascinated the audi ence toward the beginning of the program when he asked a young girl to choose a number before she chose the number 53 he wrote something on a slate and put it face down in full view of the audience he then opened a bethlehem tele phone dircetory to page 53 and a young boy from the audience point ed to a name on that page the gir read the name it was koch dun-j ninger then picked up the slate which had been put aside at the start and on it was written in large letters the name koch the mental telepathist who claimed that he doesn't have to do this for a living but i am too nervous to steal told his audi ence that he had his power since he was seven years old people cannot understand why when he goes into a restaurant he must ask for a menu or when in a ho tel why he must be told his room number he related he claimed that he is frequently bothered by someone on the phone who asks guess who midway through the performance he and

music for their next show at 5 p.m the musicians lay aside their horns and move outside to taylor stadium where they walk through the for mations for the following saturday here is where the formations are finally worked out on a large scale before the rehearsal each . member is handed a poop sheet a mimeographed booklet of six or seven pages in which can be found the formations drawn up with the positions numbered as each band mem ber is numbered according to file and rank position it is easy for him to find himself on the charts wednesday is the next practice date unless 4 o'clock quizzes inter vene then the band has the first rehearsal where they play through the formations this practice is nc picnic for either director or player as the opening entrance to the field for the half-time is standard for al"t of this year's half-time performances the band is pretty sure of getting onto the field without too much trouble but there nine times out of ten : any similarity to a top-notch march ing band is unobservable men eith er march without playing buried deeply in their poopsheets march playing without the aid of the sheet and getting lost or just wander around aimlessly in other words it can be somewhat of a mess fortu nately however the show is a bit more intact on the second try prof schempf director of the band tries to take the men through both the pre-game and half-time shows at least twice on that second day of rehearsal of ten however the band finishes at six by moonlight see band page 5 by dick wallis the lehigh band's plan to use the boy scouts in this saturday's half time extravaganza is a new twist in the already colorful history of this university's brown and white marching organization in recent years the musicians have traveled to many points in the east and as far west as cle veland receiving the plaudits of thousands few however real ize th time and eifort put into a short pre-game and a six-and-a half minute half-time show many are critical of the band be cause its members are excused from such annoyances as monday after noon military drill periods and some physcial education classes those critics fail to realize that the time devoted to playing especially in the football season makes it impossible for a band member to attend those classes the band rehearsals and study too the band works out regularly volume 65 — number 13
