'Bless' Charges Emotions
"Bless the Beasts and Children" is an emotional movie about whatever the viewer wants. Continuing in his tradition of message films, the Stanley Kramer production could be the ROYT, gun control, the generation gap, or anything similar.
Six boys who don't fit into normal, prescribed modes of behavior are the instruments Kramer uses to put his message into action. He sends to a summer camp by their parents, identify with a herd of imprisoned buffalo that is used as an annual shooting target-for sport. Freezing the buffalo because they cause, their purpose for living.
THE BUFFALO shoot actually takes place every year in Arizona, where they are sold $80 each and draw a chance to shot a buffalo. The shoot inspired the novel, "Bless the Beasts and the Beast," by Adam Swarshout, from which the screenplay was taken.
The movie begins with a nightmare: Cotton dreams that he and the other five boys are being shot by their parents. When he cries, he finds that no one has been able to sleep, except the counselor.
(Flashback) the boys have been the targets of incessant rudicule and humiliation at camp. The boys who are christened the "Bedweters" when the trophies are passed out. No matter how hard they try to break their covers,
Their trip to free the buffalo begins.
THE TRIP GOES fine until they stop to eat. Two cowboys get suspicious and cause trouble.
Sales of 'Cottonwood' Reflect Dearth of Poetry Readers
In the past six months The Cottonwood Review has paid patents to three other poems by Norman H. Russell and, with "Midget Wonder and other Poems" by Mark Kais, with drawings by Mark Koepka.
The appearance of these books makes them invisible phenomenon but never fully seen. More people write poetry on today's campuses
NEVERTHELESS, "The CR," under the editorial leadership of Jim Schmidt, has gotten itself up as a publisher and seems intent on putting out volumes by local, or locally known, poets.
The fact that these little books have not become runaway bestseller is as much a testimonial to the size of the poetry reading book than to the poems themselves. It is only necessary to notice, for instance, that although I write poetry I seldom read it for pleasure to understand that supply can exert commodity as precious as poetry.
"The CR" has annually been "two issues of poetry, prose, reviews, photography and literature," the students, faculty, vagabonds and visiting posts. "The new bookistes," the writer, miscellany and him concentrate on a single poet's selections.
The poet, meanwhile, is freed from guilt by association with lesser (or so they seem to him) talents. But he still has a chance on an advantage when looking for his next publisher, lor or both.
The booklets sell for 35 cents on oread Book Store. Soon the booklets will handle the shop's handles, the paper, the 250-copy runs. Nevertheless, the 250-copy runs
"NIGHT DOG" proves Russell to be a poet of the quality of realities. He describes essences of real things like trees, bats, dogs, men. He also writes about animals and plants. But whatever his subject, Russell always pursues the essence of the animal.
Sometimes he is a myth-master, telling tales, giving physical manifestations to things that have no material existence. Sometimes Russell deals with the problem of simply indulges in poetic exercises.
"in the 'Midget Wonder' wanders between 'teaching' poems and poetic evocations. Its author, Peter Tait, explores underground and slightly sub表面 journalistic experience. Consequently, his poems are at times surprisingly off-beat. And he writes with spares of words as he can. The
THE TWO POETS are complementary. Both go after essences. One goes after essences; Perkins is ironic. Sometimes Russell is colloquial and direct; sometimes Perkins is colloquial and direct; sometimes both chase after the “thing” of things. Maybe that’s what poets want, or after all, sometimes they catch their breath.

(Another flashback) Wheaties, the boys' counselor, is another softball team called boys 'dings.' Dings are things that serve no purpose; they just want to be buffalo and also are dings. Thus Wheaties, who is also one of the boys in the club, are dongs.

KU Professor Discusses Art, Reflects on Life and Paintings
The acting by the six boys, hand-picked by Kramer, is quite good, especially since they are not experienced actors. At times, some of their lines are uncharacteristically melodrama-like, while the camp director is sickenky traditional, and one of the boys'

AS IN ALL football games, the object of this game is to win. The central character becomes the hero; it is to use the outdoor field, bleachers, cheerleaders, half-time action of the game as a "paradigm for our socializing norms and myths, decrying an ineffective game" 'game' and asks from where can come an alternate consciousness, a different game," Stephen Bidley, author of the play.
Regarding the size of his Works, he said "I hardly ever go over six feet. I think paintings belong on the walls of houses, not propped against the walls of rooms or painted to paint them so they will fit in my station wagon. If they get any bigger I have to hire a U-Hau."

Biddle graduated from Baker University in 1965. As a graduate student at KU, he wrote an original play, "The Canee," as his thesis. He expects to receive a Ph.D. in May, 1972.
"I don't just go out and set up a canvas somewhere in Kansas the other day I went out and tried it," she said. "The atmosphere just wasn't right in California and in Greece where I've worked, the light is often too bright." It's entirely subtle but when I start to paint there a huge difference I guess it has to do with being close to the ocean."

Biddie said he would ultimately be able to build his own theatre, but he has already done so. He can write and produce in an experimental theatre after he finished school.
"In the summer I like to work in the midst of nature," he said. "I have become in the habit of going to this ranch every summer."
Sudow is currently on a year's sabbatical and is waiting until his school-age children complete their fall semester before leaving for Europe. Meanwhile, two exhibits of his works are being the largest, having 15 paintings, at Baker Island in Baldwin.

KRAMER ALSO TAKES ADVANTAGE of camera angles. In one scene one of the boys has decided to zoom in, but he focuses on him from above in the middle of a pond, he looks small, and when he comes to the rescue. Now the camera angle, from below, seems authoritative and superior.

"Bless the Beasts!" has been heavily criticized, as have most of the recent graduates at Young University condemned on the grounds of "masturbation, urination, and fool language." But it is also significant in light of the overall message: But in films that elicited strong reactions, "Bless the Beasts," "Billy Jack," and, now, "Bless the Beasts," there is bound to be a polarization and a polarization of idea.
