Page 12 THE BATTALIOI MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1980 Hoffman, ‘Kramer/ Oscar bets United Press International HOLLYWOOD — The men and women who make American movies gather tonight to confer the Academy Awards, with films of men in crisis and determined women in transition favored to win top honors. The betting — informally in Hol lywood circles and by posted odds in Las Vegas casinos — is on “Kramer vs. Kramer,” the popular story pit ting a single father’s developing love for his son against a mother deter mined to both build a new life out side of marriage and reclaim her child. “Kramer” is expected to get the Oscar for best picture and win a best actor statuette for its star, Dustin Hoffman, nominated three times in the past 13 years (“The Graduate,” “Midnight Cowboy” and “Lenny”). The top competition comes from “All That Jazz,” the musical based on the flirtations with women and death of its director, choreographer Bob Fosse, played by Roy Scheider, up for best actor. Sally Field, a long flight from her days as TV’s “Flying Nun,” is the leading contender for the best actress Oscar for her portrayal of a Southern textile mill worker, stub bornly trying to mother her family and an infant labor union in “Norma Rae.” The other top picture contenders are “Norma Rae, ” Francis Ford Cop pola’s Vietnam epic “Apocalypse Now,” and “Breaking Away,” a dark horse hit about non-college youths coping with life after high school in an Indiana university town. The ceremony, which has grown from a private party into the nation’s highest-rated TV program and is seen by millions in other countries, will be telecast by ABC-TV begin ning at 9 p.m. EST, with Johnny Carson as master of ceremonies. Although “Kramer” has been heaped with critical praise and hon ors, Hoffman commented last week that he thinks the film was “a good movie, decent and honest,” but “it could have been better.” Co-star Meryl Streep is a top con tender for best supporting actress. Justin Henry, at 8 the youngest performer ever nominated for a reg ular Oscar, is up for best supporting actor for his winning portrayal of their son, but two Hollywood veter ans — Melvyn Douglas, 78, and Mickey Rooney, 60 — make the category top heavy with sentimental favorites. what’s up at Texas A&M MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY FORMER STUDENTS’ SENIOR INDUCTION BANQUET: Will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Brazos Center.

Wanted: one set of grandparents United Press International DALLAS — Paul and Debbie Hug thought their two children were missing out on an important child hood relationship — so they ran a want ad looking for grandparents. “Grandparents Wanted,” the ad read. “N. Dallas family with son, 4, and daughter, 1, want to adopt grandparents. 361-9001.” The ad drew a few raised eyebrows — even from the children’s real grandparents — and 10 to 15 couples have answered the ad to find out just what it entails. Mrs. Hug says the family is not looking for live-in companionship or for free babysitters. “We do not want somebody to live here, and we do not especially want someone who would count on having dinner with us every Sunday,” Mrs. Hug said. “But we want them to visit us and the children from time to time, and then there are the family-type holi days. We feel they are awfully im portant for young children and for older people as well. ” The job pays only in the abstract. “There is no salary involved, but just a mutual interest. And there will be no babysitting either. That’s not the kind of thing we had in mind at all,” she said. Mrs. Hug said her parents, who live in California, rarely get to visit Dallas. Her husband’s parents are dead and his stepfather is planning to move from Dallas to Tennessee. I 8 RESTAURANT % AND m CLUB Proudly Presents: Dennis Ivey ,& 3 for 1 Tuesday April 15th at 8 P.M.
