3 ! 1 i iii. 1 i; fMfc NtbKAbKAN i-nogy, uciooer p, I yjo Spoofing Duo Conn and Mann, dance team atirists with the Tony Martin show, have been called "the out standing dance team cf modern show worlds." Having been to gether less than a year when Tony Martin asked them to join his show, they are now billed as one of the outstanding fea tures of it. Their stock in trade Hetnitn Photo is their satirical spoofing. One of their most famous numbers is a satire on the American dance, "Tea For Two". Other more serious numbers include "Caravan" and "Mystery Song". The team uses very , few props on the stage, relying on the building of illusions through their dancing. Dancing Duo: atirkal Sails Scheduled o Highlighi Martin Show Conn and Mann, although danc lng together for less than a year have proved themselves to be one of the high spots of the Tony Mart in Show slated for the University Coliseum Oct. 12, according to Bob Handy, Union Activities Director, Early in their joint career Tom' my Conn and Jack Mann were billed as a fill-in act in the Palace Theater in New York. They proved exceptionally adept at their trade, and were rebooked for six consecu tive weeks. They have also toured the night club circuit in the United States, Canada and London. , The pair base their dancing repi toire on satirical skits, including a pan of "Tea For Two" as it would be done by the British vaude bille team, Morris and Thomas. Other numbers are more seri ous, including interpretations of "Caravan" and Duke Ellington's "Mystery Song." Conn and Mann use very few props on the stage, Handy said, relying on the building of illusions through their dancing. Another specialist on the show bill will be Johnny O'Brien, rural humorist and harmonica player. 'O'Brien, according to Handy, is reminiscent of the late Will Rogers in his slow, midwestern drawl and his naive and natural delivery. He relies on informality and the home philosopher approach in telling a story. . v O'Brien also renders music on the harmonica, preferably the twenty-five cent variety, Handy said. He has appeared on radio and television and in theaters and supper clubs during his entertain ment career. Also included in the Tony Martin variety show will be Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Jodimars (formerly Bill Ha ley's Comets) and the Petticoats. A of these performers have ap peared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Shari Lewis: lOsnpus 033S1 1 r ivels Shari Lewis, who represented Nebraska at the Miss Universe contest this summer, is flying to Chicago Friday to represent the state in another contest. She was selected in August to compete in the , , wte A m erican ' ' Dairy Princess , 1 ! contest as the t' - r e presentativ8 of the State Dairy Associa tion. The contest, , which is spon-- sored by the n iu c v a Dairy Associa- ZTJnZZ tion, will last Miss Lewis for three days. Twenty-five states are expected to send contestants, she said. The winner will travel through this.country and Europe as a good will representative of the American dairy industry. The winner will also be pre sented with a $1000 scholarship and a m w wardrobe. Miss Lewis, who has more than a nodding acquaintance with the dairy business since she grew up on a farm rear Daykin, said, "I consider it a thrill and a great privilege to be able to represent r:y state again in this way." She is a junior in Teachers Col ic?'? and a member of Delta Delta Bella. Student tickets are being sold for a special student section for $1 in the Union ticket booth. Tickets on the main floor are available in the Union ticket office in a price range from $1.50 to $3, according to Polly Downs, chairman of tick et sales. Highlighting the show will be Martin, well known as a movie night club entertainer and record ing artist. The show was organized by Martin as a traveling variety group, hitting colleges and univer sities across the country. Marilyn Staska, Union co-ordina- tor for the show, said that the show is "the best variety show on the road this year, and Nebraska is very fortunate to get it." It is traveling for a two-week period on ly. 41 t i .. , - ' K vV ' -1 h vA i - Courtesy Lincoln Journal Miss Hunt Hunt To Try For Nation's Rodeo Title Miss Dallas Hunt of Lincoln, who has won many regional and na tional honors in rodeo contests, left Wednesday morning from Lin coln to fly to Chicago for the Na tional Miss Rodeo America contest. Miss Hunt said that for the first time she will not take her horse to the show because one of the re quirements is that contestants ride a horse other than their own. The officials will furnish the mounts. Upon arriving in Chicago Miss Hunt was interviewed by the news papers, on radio and on television along with the other candidates. She will compete against eleven other girls from all parts of the country and Canada. A few of the requirements on which they will be judged are horsemanship, intelligence, per sonality, and appearance. The winner will be announced Monday night, and if Miss Hunt should win she would remain in Chicago until Oct. 13.

(From Congressional Quarterly) Look to the third parties to kick up plenty of political dust fo their own this election year some thing they have been doing with varied success for 150 years. Already in the political lists are 13 third parties, and more are ex pected. Their presidential candi dates range from Henry Krajew ski, a New Jersey pig farmer out to give the public more free beer and less income taxes, to T. Cole man Andrews, former Internal Revenue Brueau director, who is the standard bearer for the Con stitution Party and For America, conservative states' rights groups. Third parties throughout the his tory of the United States have been formed because they cannot get acceptance of a particular idea or philosophy from existing par ties. This year, for example, the temperance measures while the Prohibitionist Party is advocating ies Play Vital Role Communist Party of the U. S. says it is out to "defeat the GOP Cadil lac cabinet." The Constitution gives well or ganized third parties a powerful weapon. It requires that a presi dent receive the vote of a majority of electors or else the House of Representatives decides who will become president. Names of elec tors appear on the election gallot pledged to specific major party wins a majority of electoral votes, the votes pledged to third party important. The third party elector- candidates become tremendously al votes can be released to the major party candidate promising the most concessions. Historians generally credit thrid parties with costing five men the presidency: Henry Clay, Whig, in 1844; Lewis Cass, Democrat, in 1848; Stephen A. Douglas, Demo crat in 1860; James G. 'Blaine, Republican, in 1884; and William H. Taft, Republican in 1912 Third parties polled 5. 3 per cent of the vote in 1948 and .5 per cent in 1952.
