Sophisticated lush amuses

ARTHUR
S. O. B.
Starring Dudley Moore, Liza Minellii,
Sir John Gielgud, Stephen Ellott.
Written and directed by Steve Gordon.
Starring Julie, Andrews, William Holden, Richard Mulligan, Robert Preston, Robert Webber, Larry Hagman, Stuart Margolin, Robert Vaughan, Loretta Swit, Shelley Winters, Marisa Beraen, Craig Stevens, Benson Fong, Written and directed by Blake Edwards.
The biggest comedy hit of the summer will probably be "Strips"! It's not hard to see why; it's firmly in the "Animal House" tradition, which features a dog in the teen crowd that makes up the largest part of the summer audience.
Two new comedies are among those which are aiming for an older audience a piece of a slightly more sophisticated pie. Whether they will succeed or fail, for that matter, they are any better than "Stripes," remains to be seen.
“ARTHUR” IS A comic, written and directed by a newcomer, Steve Gordon, young man who goes on drunken escapes because he doesn't want to marry the woman his family wants him to marry. Arthur has pretty much reconciled himself to the fact when he meets Linda, a struggling actress and a graduate with big art question is, of course, will he keep the money and lose Linda, or will this spoiled rich boy with no marketable skills starvage with the girl of his dreams?
Arthur is played by Dudley Moore. I don't know how other people feel about him, but I think he's very funny. His drunk scenes are a riot, and even
sober, wallowing in the sentimentalities of the plot, he's amusing. I don't much care for Liza Minelli, which plays, but I liked her better by the time the movie was over, especially since there weren't songs in the movie (although there is an appalling Burt Bacharach score.)
The funniest bits in the entire movie belong to Sir John Gielgud, who plays Arthur's manservant and closest friend; even in the sentimental parts his caustic, sarcastic wits floors the audience. It should serve as a lesson in the use of wordplay, old pro who are willing to give their best to anything they appear in.
If you have gathered the impression that there are sentimental bits in "Arthur," you're right. It's really a romantic comedy, which is too bad; it could have been a great satire on that sort of thing, but not just the umptitude variation on "Happened One Night." But overall, it's pretty funny and pretty enjoyable, with the added benefit of introducing a new talent, writer-director Gordon, who could go places. If we are to measure it, I like it better than dear, dear. I liked "Strikes," it isn't "Duck Soup" but it's not bad) then "Arthur" holds its own.
"S. O. B." IS DIRECTED by Blake Edwards, who introduced Dudley Moore to America with "10" two years ago and was largely responsible for keeping the kind of film "Arthur" represents alive in the sixties. He also did "The Pink Panther" movies, as well as the movie "Cinderella" and Wine and Roses," which is why, I guess, Hollywood has always considered him a real sophisticated guy.
'S.O.B.' is a better film than '10', though it won't be nearby as popular. It's known informally as the film in which Julie Andrews bears her hair when she leaves school and decides to add commercials to his flop by having his peaches-and-cream
wife, played by Julie Andrews, expose her breasts. Blake Edwards, who is married to Julie Andrews, has a baby with her and must mourn the maternality to his film by—you guess.
S. O.B. is a Hollywood satire that the cattiest thing since "All About Eve." There are a lot of funny bits in it, and Edwards doesn't forget to bring the "What Pale" style back when it's needed. Richard Mulligan as the director, Robert Preston as a pill-happy quack and various others in the large cast provide some laughs, especially in the last half hour, when Edwards finally goes all out for "Animal House" slapstick. And if you're game, the opening scene, a parody of "Animal House," brings a nursery rhyme with a bunch of toys, is some of the slickest fun in movies in a long time.
BUT AT THEE same time, the film is not that likable; it's so cynical it's almost right-self- righteous. It comes out of a movie about a man who deperfected his career with "Daring Lili," only one of several extremely expensive Julie Andrews musicals in the late sixties that nearly sank Hollywood until "Easy Rider" came
The bitterness in the film is thicker than Lake Erie. Surprisingly, the one scene lacking in such is Andrews' big victory over the Cubs' idocy of the con game he's playing, Edwards stages it as a indulgent Freudian fantasy that, I suspect, has more than a little parody of Bob Woodruff-erdic dances in "All That Jazz."
Even so, it's a hard film to enjoy. You have to know a lot about Hollywood, and even then the cynicism is ultimately self-defeating. I wonder whether there are that many people outside of New York and Los Angeles who know—or care—enough to enjoy "S.O.B."
Finding a private tutor can be as easy as searching for the tutor's homemade advertising on bulletin boards.
By BRENDA DURR
Tutors listed with center
Staff Reporter
However, if the student doesn't have the time to run from bulletin board to bulletin board, the Student Assistance team arrives a list of tutors for most subjects.
THE LIST PROVIDES the tutor's name, address, phone number, courses he tutors, qualifications and any comments offered by the tutor. But the list does not offer any recommendations for the tutors by the University of Kansas, Lorna Zimmer, director of the center, said.
"We give a disclaimer, orally as well as written," Zimmer said. "There is no screening whatsoever."
The list is frequently used by the students. Zimmer said.
"We saw a need for students wanting tutors, and the system's responded pretty well," she said.
"Some classes need tutors. We don't have tutors for every course. Some courses are notoriously difficult, and we can't find people interested in tutoring."
Ashlock said most students reach him through a list by the math department, through the center, through recruitment, through students or through private advertising.
DAN A. ASHLOCK, a tutor in math and computer science, said the center is a good place for tutor referrals, but people don't know what the center offers.
Once a student has found a tutor, however, the student shouldn't expect their homework to be done for them, Zimmer said.
"I helped a lot of students to get through homework without them attempting," math tutor Patty Purcell said. "A lot felt a defeatist attitude. I'd ask them to try, and we'll go over it, but it'll give a Greek to them."
instruction. You're almost paying someone to read you the book."
COMPUTER SCIENCE tutor Bob J. Scott said there were always one or two students who expected their homework to be doe for them.
Most tutors said they saw their role as someone who helped guide students in their readings and answered their questions.
"Basically, I try to improve their grades," Ashlock said. "I've never had anyone flunk. I can always pull them up to D. and usually to a B."
Ashlock said that a tutor was just an assistant and the burden of learning fell on the student. Very rarely, he said, did she not pass class if they tried their heat.
But sometimes, the students became too dependent on the tutors, Purcell said.
"Basically, they wanted to pass the course and they would become dependent on me for help. It was hard mentally. I wished they spent more time on their own study than they spent with me." she said.
He said that last summer, during finals, people who did not study asked to be tutored before their exams. But once the meeting began, he said, "they didn't understand that a tutor can only assist them and not work miracles."
Purcell said, "Most students seemed desperate in a way. They waited too long. I'd say if it really seems Greek to me, I don't get not better, I don't find a tutor."
"THEY MUST THINK we have some magical force to cram the information into their heads in one day. It's impossible to do."
Very few students obtained a tutor regularly for a class, Scott said.
"Most suddenly find themselves up to their noses in material and they need help," he said. "Some students can be delicate, like before a real crucial moment."
All the tutors agreed that their business picked up during final exams and before a major test.
He said that by finals, "Most students are just looking for a tutor and will take anybody."
Ashkoid said that during the middle of the fall and spring semesters, he would average one or two phone calls a day. But at the end of semester, he
Since students wouldn't shop around for a low-priced tutor, some tutors would charge higher rates, up to $7.50 an hour, Ashlock said.
Scott said, "It's pretty obvious in five minutes if he's a bad tutor."
However, because tutoring was a very competitive business at KU, incompetent tutors soon went out of business, he said.
A STUDENT WAS overcharged if an undergraduate tutor asked for more than $8 an hour. Ashbill said. He said the student would never charge more than $8 an hour.
Abskock said that teaching assistants often were good tutors because of their familiarity with the course. He also pointed out that students whose tutor's references and transcripts.
Although Scott said tutoring was probably one of the highest-paid jobs on campus, he said few could make a living only from tutoring.
"It's an unstable business, with students coming at various times and never a fixed income," said Scott.
But Susan M. Hamilton, a French tutor, said there was something more to tutoring than the money.
"Tutoring is more fulfilling than teaching," she said. "One-to-one contact is more worthwhile than a class with students might be hostile and obnoxious."
