The four factors are: A) my personal interpretation of the film; B) a background, cross-sec tion of reviews by various noted magazines and newspapers; C) general audience response; and D) Article I of the Constitution, my basic journalistic right. I state these in preface of an ultimatum given me by Max Schulman, proprietor of the Cam pus Theater, Wednesday around 9:35 p.m. That was: To write more favor- Bulletin Board TONIGHT Society of Iranian Students will meet at 6:15 in the MSC for a supper A lecture will be held at 7:15 pm. in rooms 2A-B.

I wish to make it perfectly clear that my integrity is involved here and—to use a cliche—I will em phatically continue to write my reviews as I see them. I consider the pass revoked as of Wednesday and will personally return it to Schulman with my thanks for its past usage. As for his mention of the foot ball boys, I cordially request that they please join in student body and alumni response regarding the following points: 1) Has it appeared that the reviews “unfairly” criticize the films ? Be specific and use ex amples, please. 2) Is (your) attendance based on the reviews or by word-of- mouth ? Other ? 3) Should the movie critic be a male at this university?

Scott, who scorned the Academy Awards as contrived and degrad ing, was named best actor of 1970 Thursday night for his powerful portrayal of a fighting World War II general in “Patton.” He has said that if they sent him an Oscar, he’d send it back. The academy said the golden statuette will be held for him if he wants it. Glenda Jackson, the emotion- tom English girl of “Women in Love,” was selected best actress. She was making a film on Cyprus and her award was accepted by Juliet Mills. “Patton,” a panorama of ar mored warfare in Africa and Europe, was declared the best picture of 1970.

Nothing buy. You need not be present to win. top winner in the 43rd annual awards with Seven Oscars. Be sides Scott and the picture, awards went to Franklin Schaff- ner for direction and Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North for best story and screenplay. Producer Frank McCarthy, who spent 20 years trying to get the story of Patton on the screen, said on the nationally televised program: “I accept this award cheerfully and under no duress.” Scott, 43, deemed one of movie- dom’s finest performers but long a foe of awards for actors, had asked that his nomination for his role as Gen. George S. “Blood and Guts” Patton be withdrawn. It wasn’t. He told an interviewer recently that were he sent an Oscar, he would send it back. The actor, in New York making a movie, issued this word earlier in the day on the ceremonies: “Win, lose or draw, I have no statement.” Scott said after his nomination, “It is degrading to have actors in competition with each other ... in a public display of con trived suspense.” In 1962 he re jected a best supporting actor nomination for “The Hustler.” He didn’t win. His Oscar was accepted by Frank McCarthy, producer of “Patton.” McCarthy said: “I think the academy has distinguis- ed itself ... by recognizing a fine performance by a great actor.” Helen Hayes and John Mills, both veterans of stage and films. were hailed for the best support ing performances. Miss Hayes, who won a best- actress Oscar 40 years ago for “The Sin of Madelon Claudet,” was cited for her role as the busybody stowaway in “Airport.” He award was accepted by Rosa lind Russell. Miss Hayes was in Washington, D.C., preparing for a Catholic University production of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” Mills, father of actresses Haley and Juliet Mills, won his award by not speaking a word in “Ryan’s Daughter.” With distorted face and halting walk, he played the village mute in the tale of rural 1916 Ireland. “I was speechless for a year in Ireland, and I am speechless at this moment,” the British ac tor remarked.

The pretty maids are just that, whether dressed or undressed and Rock Hudson counsels each and everyone.
