THE ARGUS PAGE THREE Whelan’s Platform For Board Election As an individual non-party can didate I have quite naturally a platform of my own, which I per sonally have originated and will do my best to accomplish. The essence of my platform is based on improvement of the University and its facilities for the students, faculty and the community of Buf falo. For the above mentioned groups and primarily for the students, I will campaign for student control of the cafeteria and the bookstore, for closer contact between the stu dents and religious advisors (Mov ing Religious Advisors officers to Norton Hall) and giving them an allotment of the Student Union Budget to aid their programs, and for more active student participa tion in school events. And in addition, for the advance ment of the University of Buffalo students and graduates in the eyes of the public. This is essentially the program I intend to carry out if elected to the board, and it will be added to, whenever the demands of the ma jority of the students require it. I seek to serve the majority and I, as an individual, will try my best to give them their wishes. I will not be pressured by any minority group.—^Robert Whelan. ARGUS PRESENTS ITS OSCARS HOLLYWOOD’S WORST CROWNED By EDWARD SPECTOB About this time every year Hollywood turns con tortionist and pats itself on the back for the^jne job it is doing in milking the American public. Here are the winners of the ARGUS Awards which will entitle the lucky people to life subscriptions to the BEE, a just retaliation in the light of some of their achievements. Worst Picture of the Year: A difficult choice. S o m e people around here indifferently nominate everything that did not play at the Midtown. Not as impressed with their general fare as some, we except only Hamlet, Snake Pit, and Treasure of Sierra Madre from those pictures which would have been better off left lying on the cutting room shelf. All the rest are open to dissection, — according to taste. Year’s Worst Musical: Words and Music, Hollywood’s final in sult to the American public’s in telligence and to Rodgers and Hart for easting juvenile Tom Drake and mugging Mickey Rooney in their roles. No one’s life could have been that duU. Year’s Hammiest Scene: Mickey Rooney staggering down N ew York City’s main drag, then finally departing this cruel world in front of a shoe store which hadn’t changed its window display (ad vertising elevated shoes) since the second reel, a movie span of twen ty years. Most Sickening Screen Person ality: June Allyson and her glu cose grin. Most Gratifying Scene of the Year: That one in the Three Mus keteers wherein L a n a Turner (bless her beautiful hide) wipes that sickening smile off Junie’s face. Most' Overrated Newcomer: Montgomery Clift in Red River who has been reported as saying he never had played a tough cow- puncher and was afraid to take the role. He played the part the same way. Year’s Most Pretentious Flop: Ingrid Bergman who in pursuit of Art with a capital A mutilated her yond all recognition Erich Maria Remarque’s powerful novel. Arch of Triumph, and then turned Joan of Arc into Joan of Arse. We ought to be charitable though. There were others involved in those ven tures whose hands are equally as bloody. Actor Against Whom There Must Be A Personal Plot: Dane Clark who has been cast in three succes sive stinkeroos, the theme of which have been Dane Clark against th6 world. The result is the world now is unanimously against D a n e Clark. The Actress Who Should Have Stayed in Retirement: Brenda Marshall (in Whispering Smith) who once set male hearts to flut tering. Now,! if she closed one eye she could do a good imitation of a needle. Tile Scriptwriter We’d Most Like an Explanation From: ’The fellow w h o wrote Rogue’s Regiment wherein, after finding the detailed plans of a Viet Nam ambush, the Foreign Legion and Fearless Dick Powell walk right into the trap,— and that wasn’t all that was wrong with that flicker. Year’s Hardiest Juvenile: The baby in Three Godfathers who manages to survive an axle grease massage, the hot desert sun, stai;- vation, the clumsy, paws of John Wayne and Co., and at least one dozen assorted falls—and all, with out a whimper. Actresses We’d Most Like to Maroon on a Desert Island With No Food and Water: Bette Davis for her Winter’s Meeting: Shirley Temple and Veronica Lake for anything they’ve done; Rita Hay worth for becoming the first actress in screen history to take the sex out of Carmen. People We’d Like to Except From the Anti-Lynching Bill: Dick Powell for his deadpan por trayals of virile, goody - goody, 100% American he-men; Alan I.add for his equally deadpan his trionics; the censor who emascu lated Forever Amber. Year’s Silliest Award: Jane Rus sell for the nation’s most beautiful cheekbones. Year’s M o s i Understandable Statement: After seeing Enchant ment, David Niven’s remark he never sees his own pictures. The Actor We’re Least Likely To Miss: Guy Madison who we can’t recall being on the screen in the past year. Year’s Most Apt Dialogue: Bob Mitchum’s reply to Bill Holden’s offer of tobacco in Rachel and the Stranger, “No thanks. I brought some of my own.” PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Use your N.S.A. card SAVE 15%! The FLORETTE FLOWER SHOP 3236 MAIN STREE7T Opposite the Campus Special! Green Carnations 26e OPEN LETTER (Continued from Page 1) Athletic Policy Committee appor-' tions the revenue among the vari ous athletic teams. For example, it us look at what happened to the wrestling team this year. After a shaky start the squad went u n . d e f e a t e d in its last five matches. As a reward for its efforts, the team was pre sented with the opportunity of competing in the 4-1 Tournament held at Case University on March 10 and 11. (This annual tourna ment attracts the leading wrestlers from New York, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.) However, $300 was needed for expenses, and as there was only $120 remaining in the budget, only three of the eight team grapplers were able to parti cipate. In the case of football, UB was unable to invite Colgate University to play at Buffalo this year be cause UB was unable to offer a sufficiently high financial guaran tee. Situations like these can be eliminated through the undertak ing of a full-fledged, big-time athletic program, which would en able UB to allocate sufficient funds to completely fulfill the needs of its athletic departments. A logical program, and one within the rules of the National Inter-Collegiate Association, of which UB is a member, would consist of the establishment of ten annual scholarships based upon not only athletic ability but plso academic rating. Each of these scholarships would last four years and after the admission of the first four freshman classes there would be a maximum of 40 scholarship students attending school each year. This would cost the school approximately $20,000 a year. This amount when compared with the p<^ible benefits to be derived from a program of this sort, is not disproportionate. An undertaking such as this will succeed in.rekindling school spirit, which is dormant. There is no reason why this enthusiasm should not spread into the class rooms and into campus social life, and in this way revitalize the present apathetic student outlook. The University at present is en gaged in a planned publicity pro gram designed to attract high school seniors from all over New York State. From a practical point of view it must be realized that a first rate program of inter-collegi ate athletics is often a better sell ing point than many of the more concrete advantages which the Patronise . . .

Newer Directions, publishers of this collection, rightly acclaim it as the conclusive answer to the Soviet charge that bourgeois culture is decadent. Swillkov has that heavy sense of humor which can’t be shrugged off lightly. The book is set in heavy black type, thus form blends imperceptibly and dialectically into content. One of the most delightful and fanciful pieces is Swillkov’s poetic autobiography entitled “Creation.” On the merit of this one poem alone, he stands head and shoulders above the contemporary crop of creative artists—truly a “freischwebendesintelligents.” No words from my humble pen can pay him his due, so I shall take the liberty of quoting at some lengths from the above- mentioned poem. Its eloquence speaks for itself. “Ideation fertilization gestation emanation initiation lactation, Mastication perambulation investigation expectation frustration, Education imitation vaccination sublimation maturation elation,' Repression aggression affection rejection dejection correction.
