'Patton' Receives Seven Oscars; Howdy Doody to Be Here Sunday

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences concurred with Richard Nixon last night as it named Patton best picture of 1970, in its annual Oscar presentations.

Patton received seven awards including best actor, best direction and best original screenplay. Love Story, despite seven nominations, received only one award-best original score.

George C. Scott, who played Patton, had said he did not want the nomination and would not accept it if he were chosen. He was not present at the award ceremony.

Oscars were also given to GlendaJackson in Women in Love for best actress, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion for the best foreign film and Woodstock for the best feature documentary. Special awards were given to Orson Welles, Ingmar Bergman, the Beatles, Lillian Gish and Frank Sinatra.

Oscars for supporting roles were given to John Mills for Ryan's Daughter, and Helen Hayes for Airport.

Bob Hope consoled Ali McGraw and company, saying, "Winning an Oscar means never having to say you're sorry."

Buffalo Bob Returns

Yes, kids, it's Howdy Doody time. Your old television pal has been dusted off for two shows Sunday night in Sanders Theatre along with Buffalo Bob. But, alas, Clarabelle will be absent.

Howdy has been received enthusiastically on several other college campuses and at the Fillmore East auditorium in New York. Tickets were in such demand at the Fillmore that "you couldn't get near the box office," Charles J. Cohen, publicity director for the producers of the Sanders show, said.

Some students who attended the Fillmore show said that Buffalo Bob had ruined the show by introducing political commentary into his jokes. "He should have left it like it used to be," said William S. Jelin, a freshman at New York University.

Nonetheless, Cohen said he expects both shows to be sold out. "It's a fantasy trip back to the fifties," he said. "It's good and wholesome. Everyone should come stoned."
