THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
TuesHay, OrfoSer TS,
Stuart Theatre Features Ted
Weems in Two Day Appearance
BY JERRY COIIN.
After twenty years in the nusic
business, Ted Weems still holds
an enviable position among the
successful bandleaders of today.
His current show at the Stuart
theatre proves that his arrange
ments are enjoyable and start
your toes atappin'.
The show is fast moving and
features several specialties, the
best ones being Tiny Martin's bass
solo of "Flight of the Bumble
Bee", and Shirley Richard's in
terpretation of Betty Hutton sing
ing "Doing It The Hard Way.1'
For those who like something
with a beat, the rhythm section
does a nice job on "Hum Drum."
Mr. Weems was born in Phila
delphia, and attended the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania where he re
ceived a degree in Mechanical En
gineering. However, he soon dis
covered he had more offers to
play in orchestras, which was his
way of getting through school,
than he had time to apply his
knowledge of engineering.
Ted Weems had been leading
an orchestra for 18 years when
he decided to enlist in the Mari
time Service. Upon his discharge
two years later, he re-organized
his present band and is back
playing such famous locations as
the Palmer House and Hotel Ste
vens in Chicago, the Hollywood
Palladium in California, and the
Astor hotel in New York.
Recalling his band at the time
of his enlistment, Mr. Weems
spoke of a popular vocalist of to
day, Perry Como. "Perry went
out on his own at that time, after
singing with the band for seven
years," he said.
Now doing a series of one
nighters, Ted Weems and his or
chestra are heading for the Ste
vens hotel, after which he will
start on an extensive theatre tour
across the country.
He will do four more shows to
day before ending his Lincoln engagement.

most part, idealists, with facets to
support our ideals.
There are three types of stu
dents on this campus: Democrats,
republicans and those who don't
give a darn. The latter comprise
the largest group. It was primar
ily for their benefit that we de
cided to use an "eye-catching"
ad.
Here are the cold facts:
The ad stated that all six of
our congressmen voted against
ballots for servicemen. It was gen
erally believed in the year pre
ceding the 1944 election that
Roosevelt would receive the ma
jority of the soldiers' votes if they
were given the right to vote. Our
two senators and four representa
tives, along with most other re
publicans, lined up to vote against
the Worley Federal Ballot bill, on
Feb. 3, 1944. This bill would have
enabled servicemen to vote.
The ad states that these same
six voted against effective price
control. Any economist will tell
you that OPA, as it was on June
30 of this year, was necessary to
prevent inflation. The UniVets
Organization, the A.V.C., the
League of Women Voters, con
sumer groups passed resolutions
favoring retention of OPA as it
existed then. Yet our congress
men voted against it.
The ad states that these men
voted against housing for veter
ans. In the House, on March 7,
1946, three of our representatives
voted against the Patman Emer
gency Housing bill. (Representa
tive Miller was absent.) In the
senate, both Butler and Wherry
voted for the Revercomb amend
ment which helped defeat the ad
ministration's veterans' housing
program. This was on April 10,
1946. All five of these men voted
at the insistence of the powerful,
well-heeled, real estate lobby.
' Any students desiring more in
formation along these same lines
are cordially invited to attend our
next meeting. Wed., Oct. 16, 8
p. m., room 316 in the Student
