University Daily Kansan, September 20, 1984 Page 12
Rivals compete for Emmys
From Staff and Wire Reports
"The Day After," a searling tale of life after nuclear holocaust, and "A Streetcar Named Desire," a remake of the steamy saga about a troubled Southern household, will rival the much-honored series "Hill Street Blues" for acclaim at the Emmys Awards on Sunday night.
NBC, still trailing the other networks in the ratings, again leads the list of nominees with 98, followed by 87, ABC with 12 and PBS with 30.
THE CLASS AWARD of the 36th annual Academy of Television Arts & Sciences ceremonies could be the outstanding drama or comedy special.
The outstanding drama nominees are "The Day After" and "A Streetcar Named Desire," which won 12 and 11 nominations apiece; the much-publicized "Adam," which sparked nationwide interest in the plight of missing children; "Somewhat About Amelia," about father-daughter incest; and "The Dollmaker," starring Jane Fonda as an Appalachian woman trying to adjust to life in the big city.
"The Day After." which was partially filmed in Lawrences and in
the Kansas City area and depicted the nuclear destruction of the two cities, provoked worldwide controversy.
More than 1,000 people gathered on Campanile Hill for a candlelight vigil in support of nuclear disarmament the day before. The wreath was shown on ANC last November.
About 100 million people watched the movie in the United States. "The Day After" was also shown in England, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, Australia, Italy, Portugal and Japan.
"Hill Street Blues" received the most nominations of any series for the fourth straight year with a total of 18 — including outstanding drama series, Daniel J. Travanti and Veronica Hamlin as lead actor and six of 10 nominations for supporting actress and actress in a drama series.
picked up 11 nominations, and "Magnum, P.I." whose star, Tornellick, will be the host of the ceremonies to be telecast on CBS from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
"NT. ELSEWHERE," WHICH takes the same gritty "Hill Street Blues" style from a police precinct to a hospital, is the other major drama nominee, with 11 nominations including best series and both William Daniels and Ed Flanders as best lead actor.
Their rivals for best drama series are the revived "Cagney and Lacey," the syndicated "Fame," which also
"Cheers," the bittersweet situation comedy set in a Boston saloon, captured 12 nominations including best comedy series and Ted Danson and Shelley Long as lead actor and actress. Its rivals for best comedy series are "Buffalo Bill," "Family Ties," "Kate & Allie" and "Newbart."
NOMINATED FOR BEST actor in a limited series or special were Danson and Travanti, for their out-of-series-character roles in "Something About Amelia" and "Adam," Mickey Rooney for "Bill On His Own," Louis Gossett Jr. as "Sadat" and Laurence Olivier as "King Lear."
Fonda is competing for best actress in the limited series or special category against Ann-Margret as Blanche Dubois in "A Streetcar Named Desire." Jane Alexander as "Calamity Jane." Glenn Close in "Something About Amelia" and JoBeth Williams in "Adam."
SAN FRANCISCO - Lightning split the sky over San Francisco yesterday.

Word play highlights campaign
By United Press International
President Reagan and Democratic challenger Walter Mondale campaigned coasts apart yesterday, attacking each other with puns and alliteration in their guests for votes.
Campaigning against Jimmy Carter and, by inference, his vice president, Reagan asked a crowd in Waterbury, Conn. "Do we want to go back to the old days of misery, misfortune and malaise? Do we want to return to that time of taxes and timidity, that reign of error?"
Mondale's contribution to the catch-phrase derby was less elaborate. In Stockton, Calif., he criticized Reagan's Lebanon policies as "a tog of confusion," the net result of which was "heartache and humiliation" for the United States.
DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENT candidate Geraldine Ferraro was in Chicago, mocking Republican claims of a resurgent economy "Ronald Reagan says we have a glorious recovery." But, she said, Reagan's policy was "when it comes to cutting the budget, elderly women and children should be sacrificed first."
Vice President George Bush ripped into the Democrats for waging mudsliding "kamikaze attacks" against President Reagan that signal the desperation of a campaign mailing during a speech in Columbus, Ohio.
Reagan, welcomed by cheerleaders, school bands and a crowd waving thousands of American flags and chanting "Four more years," appeared before about 15,000 people in New York City. The crowd of 30,000 gathered to hear John Kennedy near the end of his presidential campaign in 1960.
THE REAGAN CAMPAGN worked hard to revive the Kennedy spirit of 24 years ago in the president's appearance.
president he knew, but Sen. Edward Kennedy, D.Mass, had a tart response yesterday to President Reagan's use of his assassinated brother's image in his Republican campaign.
Reagan had urged Democratic voters to reconsider their loyalties, since the party leaders were "abandoning the good and decent Democrats of the JFK and FDR and Harry Truman tradition."
Kennedy issued a terse statement from Washington saying, "Only in 1984 could anyone who was part of Democrats for Nixon in 1960 go around parading himself as the new JFK."
But yesterday, it was Reagan who held the center stage. Schools were closed for the day, the campaign ran paid radio advertisements encouraging listeners to go to the rally and "Hail to the Chief" was played in the background.
THE SPECIFIC OBJECT of Reagan's oratorial scorn was Mondale's tax increase and deficit cutting plan, which the president said would "put up a giant stop sign and stop the economy dead in its tracks.
"Their wonderful idea is to raise your taxes, again, again and again," Reagan said. "The other side is so upset at the good health of the economy that they've decided to give us a dose of the medicine that made us sick."
Mondale criticized Reagan's policy in Lebanon before several hundred students at Delta Community College in Stockton. "What we had was a grandrose policy in Lebanon with no hope of succeeding," he said.
