WINS TOTAL OF SEVEN OSCARS:

'Sting

wins

Best

Picture

By AP and Reuter
The Sting, a tale of an elaborate con game in 1936 Chicago which
had surprises for moviegoers at every turn, was selected best picture
of 1973 at the 46th Academy Awards last night.
It was the seventh award won by, the picture during the evening.
Jack Leminon, the guilt-ridden businessman of Save the Tiger, and
Glenda Jackson, the reluctant swinger on a European binge in A
Touch of Class, won top acting honors.
"I had a speech perared for this-but I lost it in 1959," said the
grinning Lemmon.
It was the second Oscar won by Lemmon. He won one in 1955
for his supporting role in Mr. Roberts.
After Lemmon had accepted his award, a male streaker made a
dash across the stage.
Actor David Niven, who was playing host for the last part of the
show, dismissed the act, saying the young man could only get on
the stage by "stripping off and showing his short comings."
Elizabeth Taylor was. on next to present the award for Best
Picture. "That's a pretty hard act to follow," she said. She stumbled
a bit over her presentation words and said the streaker was the
cause of her breathlessness. "That really upset me," she said, "maybe
I'm jealous."
Tatum O'Neal, the apprentice con girl;of Paper Moon, won the
award as best supporting actress.
The 9-year-old Miss O'Neal became the youngest player to win an
Oscar in competition in the history of the Motion Picture Academy.

John Houseman, the hard-minded professor of law in The Paper
Chase, won for best supporting actor. It was his first screen role.
George Roy Hill was named best director for The Sting.
Houseman, a noted producer-director, accepted his award with
the remark that he was almost speechless- "but not quite."
He thanked the makers of The Paper Chase, especially director-
writer James Bridges, for picking "an aging and obscure school-
master to play this perfectly glorious part."
Houseman was previously nominated for an Oscar in 1953 as
producer of Julius Caesar. He has had a distinguished career in the
theater, having been associated in the Mercury Theater with Orson
Welles and in films as producer of Citizen Kane, The Bad and the
Beautiful, Lust for Life and other movies.
Since 1968 he has been head of the drama division of the Julliard
School at Lincoln Center in New York.
The petite Miss O'Neal, the daughter of actor Ryan O'Neal, rushed
to the stage in a satin tuxedo and thanked her director, Peter Bog-
danovich, and her father, who co-starred in Paper Moon.
Day for Night, Francois Truffaut's affectionate tribute to the
movies, was named best foreign language film.
The French film, a penetrating account of the making of an ill-
fated movie, was a popular winner with the Music Center audience.
Truffaut, an unabashed movie fan, said he was very happy be-
cause "the film is about show 'people and you are movie people. I
think this prize is yours. If you agree, I will keep it for you."

'Main Ingredient':
Destined to go far

TATUM O'NEAL, daughter of actor Ryan O'Neal, accepts the Oscar as best supporting actress from
Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland. She captured the coveted statuette for her performance in "Paper
Moon."

By CHUCK BLOOM
Fo'!r long years ago, a single
hit the charts entitled "Spinning
Around (I Must Be Falling in
Love)" by a new RCA discovery,
the Main ingredient.
It was quite a nice song, as a
matter of fact, with lots of
strings, harmony, and lyrics, and
I said to myself, "Myself, this is
a group that could go far, if al-
lowed.".
- But as is the case with so
many fine RCA groups (i. e. The
Friends of Distinction), the Main
ingredient got lost in the shuf-
fle for two years, surfacing with
only a couple of minor achieve-
ments. Personnel problems, the
0. D. death of the lead singer,
and the general way the record
company handled the artists, sty-
mied the growth of this fine vo-
:e, vocal group.
t- But this cannot be said of the

Main ingredient today as wit-
nessed by their latest album
Euphrates River (RCA APL I-
0335). As a follow-up to their big
hit "Everybody Plavs the Fool",
this Philadelphia trio has pro-
duced a very stylish offering in-
cluding their current top 40 song
"Just Don't Want to be Lonely."
The album is relatively short
(only 32 minutes) by today's
standards. But it is easy to lis-
ten to, with several outstanding
efforts such as the title cut writ-
ten by Seals and Crofts along
with "Summer Breeze", a 10-
year old Stevie Wonder composi-
tion "Don't Worry 'Bout a
Thing", and a well-paced "Hap-
piness Is Just Around the Bend."
With more sounds like those in
"Euphrates River", maybe the
Main Ingredient will fulfill my
personal prophecy and, indeed,
go far.

Wild weekend

dancle'

trembles Markley

Hall

By DAVID STOLL
A new idea in the Saturday
night dance hit Ann Arbor last
weekend, a combination circus
and rock 'n roll show. Between
the band's sets wrestlers pelted
each other with loaves of bread,
a fire-eater blew balls of flame
out into the audience and dance-
goers pulled men's underwear
off each other with their teeth.
The show, held in the base-
ment of the Markley residence
hall, was the result of a collab-
oration between VAC-Days tar,
Rainbow Multi-Media (RMM) op-
erative Gene Hymen -and the lo-
cal Friend's Roadshow Troupe.
Sometimes you could almost
forget it was a dance. Perform-
ing betweensets ofhthe RMM
Lightnin' band, the Friend's
Roadshow slowly won over an
audience which didn't quite know
how to take a live neo-vaude-
ville act.
During a lengthywrestling
match, four men mock belly-
stomped each other to the floor
with loaves of bread, interrupt-
ing the action just long enough to
sing a hearty song to a six-pack

of beer.
A fire-eater then proceeded to
douser flames and Seven-Up in-
side his mouth, ending by blow-
ing six foot in diameter balls of
fire up to the ceiling. He was
accompanied by a haunting, dra-
matic melody from a pair of
electric guitar players calling
themselves the Paine Memorial
High School Band.
Prizes in the "World Premiere
Underwear Olympics," also re-
ferred to as "Blind Man's Butt,"
were forty pounds of oranges, fif-
teen pounds of bananas and four
bottles of champagne and cold
duck. Competitors had to pull
pairs of executive underwear off
their partner's (clothed) bodies,
using teeth ,elbows, anything
but hands.-tFirst couple to get the
shorts back on again, samercon-
ditions, won. Winners were a
hammy pair named Flora and
Bill, who immediately disap-
peared with their newly-won al-
cohol.
After the Underwear Olympics
a steadily increasing percent-
age of the crowd got down to the

business of a rock 'n roll dance
which is dancing. Lightnin' b'el
ed out its usual butt-wiggling
swoon Wanda June fare, and th
floor turned dirty, the air smell:
just as it should.
Turn-out was disappointing
about four hundred, partly be
cause University Housing dire
tor- John Feldkamp banned th
advertising necessary to draw;
large non-University crowd.
"We're going to do it agai
even though we lost moneym t
time," said RMM agent. Hymen
"Next time we'll hire a hall aw
have a real show."
