Herman Herd To Play for Ball
WOODY HERMAN
Woody Herman and his Third Herd will play for the annual ROTC Military ball from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Student Union ballroom.
A veteran of the dance band business, Mr. Herman was a vaudeville trouper when he was eight years old. When he finished high school, he enrolled in Marquette Music school in Milwaukee and after a year of study started working with local bands. In 1929 he joined Tom Gerun's band, popular at that time.
Mr. Herman went to California with Gerun's band and played in and around San Francisco for a number of years and was featured singer and instrumentalist with the group.
In 1933 he joined Isham Jones' swing band. When Mr. Jones retired in 1936 the men in the band formed a corporation with Herman elected president.
When the inroads on manpower of the wartime draft became too great, the corporation dissolved. the band re-formed as new men came into it after the war. This band was broken up because of illness in Mr. Herman's family.
He was inactive for a year, but returned in 1945 with a new band. At the end of 1949 this group was forced to disband because of the poor music business.
He then began to build up his present band slowly and organized the Third Herd, which is best known for its jazz.

Morse to Vote As Republican
Washington —(U.P.)— Senator Wayne Morse will not vote for Democratic control of the Senate next month—even to remove Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) from chairmanship of the Senate's permanent investigating committee.
The Oregon Independent, who bolted the Republican party last year to support Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic presidential nominee, holds a possible controlling vote in the Senate. Since the appointment of Democrat Thomas A. Burke to succeed the late Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), the Senate has 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans and Sen. Morse.
Sen. Morse had said he would vote with the GOP on organizational questions. This would leave Vice President Richard M. Nixon with a tie-breaking vote.
Sen. Morse questioned whether he could upset control of the Senate even if he wished. He said rules provide that committee chairman are picked at the start of each Congress, not of each session. The Senate will be in the second session of the 83rd Congress next month.
He said he had been urged to vote for Democratic control of the Senate "to undo the combined operation of the seniority rule and the 1852 elections, in Wisconsin, among other states."
Sen. Morse said he intends to support "liberal Democrats" for the Senate next year because "only within the Democratic party can we strengthen opposition to the reactionary and give-away program of the Republican administration and Congress."
But he said those changes can be made only at the polls. "Political opportunism should not be batted with even greater political opportunism," he said.

Venetian Engravings Shown This Month in Art Museum
An engraving of a Christmas Eve festival in Venice, Italy—one of a group of engravings—is being displayed as the master-work-of-the month in the Museum of Art.
925 MASS.
The engraving shows Christmas Vespers at the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore with a large number of gondolas gathering around the church, which is located on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
Other engravings of scenes and festivals of Venice are displayed in the Southwest room on the second floor of the museum. All were made from paintings by Antonio Canale.
Travelers who visited Venice during the 18th century were sold the engravings as souvenirs, said Dr. Klaus Berger, acting director of the museum. He compared them to the picture post card of today.
"The engravings show the way of life in Venice of the 18th century, and give a view of the artistic taste of the time," he added.
Other engravings show a map of Venice, the entrance to the Grand Canal, the courtyard of the ducal palace, the Rialto bridge, the shipyards, a gondola race, and a festival called the "Feast of the Redeemer."
FACTS Student Council members decided at a meeting Monday to oppose the Rock Chalk Revue bill now before the ASC. The proposed bill would take production of the Revue from the YMCA and place it under the ASC.
FACTS to Oppose ASC 'Review' Bill
The group cited three reasons for its action; that the bill would allow the ASC to step into the affairs of a private organization, that the Y is a religious group and that the student governing body had no right to interfere with its affairs, and that it is a "socialistic measure" whereby all funds of any group might be controlled by the ASC.
The members felt that any bill of this sort was contrary to the interests of all students. They further expressed the opinion that it would lead to a "wholesale slaughter of private enterprise" on the part of any student group on the campus for the purpose of raising funds.
