Even non-violent types come away Wishing Voight would don his gloves one more time and give the screenwriter a once over. Jon Voight and Faye Dunaway do their best to make characters out of the , cardboard cliches the script hands jhenvbut their effort go, for" naught. Voight tries, to charm, warm hearts, and; gives his rolft dimension. His attempt! succeed only in making the rest of the film all the harder to swallow ; , -, ' ;'rPerverted" Dunaway Dunaway coniei off as faintly perverted, her caresses hinting something kinkier than motherly love when she embraces her son. The character must be crazy, for why on earth would anyone turn down Jon Voight to live with Arthur Hill under any circumstances? The child is played by Ricky Schroder, an unbearably adorable WASP waif with a fortunate facility for crying on cue. He sheds enough tears to float the Queen Mary, , but unfortunately, not enough to drown the movie al together. v , y vThe object of ihe movie-besldes cashing in on the recent cycle. of athletic tear jerkers-is to bring a lump to ) the throat anf a tear to the eye. But the wholething Is such a transparent contrivance of cliches and manipulat ions bereft of any integrity or honest emotion, only die hard senitmentalists will find anything to sniffle about. . Hie climax, a brutal prizefight,' is simply disgusting. The only tragedy here is the squandering of time, money and talent the film represents. The Champ takes the prize for mawkish moviemaking at its worst. The movie is playing at the Cinema I Theatre. OqtelfaUers9 punch spiked with mud . : By Lynn Paustian Dirty play dominated the games, but few fouls were called In those muddied matches , Saturday afternoon. Rather, UNL's first Oozeball tournament, or volleyball in the mud, drew cries , of laughter as well as "yules" from members of the audiences Sponsored by Student Alumni Board, Oozeball 79 is expected to continue in the '80s. ' "We're trying to establish a tradition,' SAB coordin ator Lori Rosenlof said. Many traditions, such as yearbooks or Ivy Day cele brations, had been lost at UNL, she said. Through mud. volleyball games, a tradition could be created in which everyone participates, and eventually, some would bene fit. "In the future we hope to raise enough money to spon sor scholarships for university students," Rosenlof said. She added that this year. SAB just wanted everyone to have fun. 4 Urge to jump in "It looks like fun to me," said Janet Goebel, a teaching assistant in the English department. She added that she "had an urge" to jump in and join the players. Goebel also said she felt the oozeball tournament pro vided a' source of relief after the long winter as well as good times before upcoming finals. However, her companion, Mike Earl, a computer science major, said simply, "It looks messy" as he viewed the mud-plastered players standing ankle-deep in brown water. ' .. .' 'Junior business education major Iri tfaw Val playing'' in the mud was "quite an experience." "I felt like the pigs at home, and knew I'd come out looking like one," she said. Although Craw said she wanted to continue playing, she was apprehensive about getting back into the mud pool. But she added that if the tournament were schedul ed next year; she would play again. Definitely different One participant said playing in the mud was "definitely different." And that is what is looked like. Amid shouts for help or bursts of laughter, the players fell, dove, slipped, slid and wallowed in the cold, muddy waters. Their resulting appearances consisted of clothing color ed a uniform chocolate brown and matching shades coat ing their arms, legs, faces and even eyeglasses. The exhibition team members appeared to be the most mud-soaked players of the day as'they amused the crowd with frequent falls, fast-paced play, and friendly wrestling matches In the mud. Playing on the exhibition team were members of the 1971 NU football team, several faculty members, and one state senator. ..Adrian Fiala, a former football player and a major organizer of the exhibition teams, said lie hoped to. return next year. Defending champions "We're the defending champions now, so well be back next year," he said with a wide grin. State Sen. Don Wesley, whose mud-drenched face was hardly recognizable, said he enjoyed the oozeball game but felt a little ridiculous. He added that several other state senators had been asked to play but declined. "I think they were afraid of making fools of them selves," he said. In addition to the exhibition match, eight co-educational teams competed in the championship rounds. Thirty teams of eight members each had originally registered, but playoffs had been held last Monday and Tuesday. The entrance fee for each team was $4. Total costs for the oozeball tournament were more than $800, which comprised the total budget of SAB from the Alumni Association, according to Glenn Poppert, chairman of the mud volleyball committee. He said SAB hoped to gain additional sponsors from local businesses next year to help make the tournament self-sufficient. 3 BIAISISt" 17 CICIW " gTT t IIA 1JLJLII 'ill C AlTlHif l NICIL II ON , ,,' jo e sjr'ti h t t u p II " 0 C TTjA U T sort" b T t o , ill A S't'E'B l tl 111 :1o n Ts " t si li ft' s iyi oyi? o $ $F$ $ t o FxaI'TlTm I iTOKij Tit lliil f T .
