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.

sities across the country.
Marilyn Staska, Union co-ordina-

show is "the best variety show on
the road this year, and Nebraska

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.

150 Years Of Politics:
Third
Per?
(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.
