THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
Coed Takes Honors at Show
BY BRUCE RANDALL
Collegian Staff Writer
How did it feel to become the Reserve Grand
Champion Showman of the 51st Little Interna
tional Livestock Exposition held last month at the
University? "I just couldn't believe it," Becky
Boyd said.
Miss Boyd (9th-animal science-Glen Rock),
who competed with about 140 other entries, has
the distinction of being the second girl in the
show's history to win the honor. No girl has ever
won Grand Champion Showman, the highest title,
which she just barely lost.
This honor was her reward for the long hours
she spent clipping and, grooming her cow, Arrow
smith Pollyana, and training her to walk and stand
properly for the judges. In the month she had to
prepare for the contest, Miss Boyd worked on
Pollyana six days a week.
Miss Boyd entered and left the show ring with
a limp, since Pollyana stepped on her toe—almost
breaking it —a week earlier. As if that wasn't
enough, Polly "restomped" the same toe during the
judging. "But it was worth it. It didn't hurt so bad
after I won, and I forgave her," she said.
She wasn't worried about her foot, though: "My
main worry was that Pollyana, who seemed bored
with the whole affair, would fall asleep during the
show right there in the ring," she said.

travelogues, and Disney's often -excel

yon" and "Seal Island" especially).'
Considering, then, the usually poor
quality of shorts, -their demise is hardly
a cause for lament. What is sad, how
ever, is that the form has , rarely been
given a fair chance to prove itself. The
reason is that, as Benjamin Fogey, a re
porter, noted in the Washington Star
(March 31, 1968), "the purpose of the
'short subject' as -practiced for. too
many years was to keep the movie
patron half awake between viewings
of the feature attraction."
Recent years, on the contrary, have
seen more serious attention paid: to
short film. "They are being made,"`
Fogey wrote, "by film-makers whose
primary interest is in the expressive
possibilities of the film, especially , the ,
film in segments of less than an hour.

gent position. A short film can be

liberated from the often stultifying de
mands of plot and character devel'op
ment, And in cases where these ele
ments are used, the points can be made
niore-' incisively. Short films can do
many things long films probably can
not do. They can,do things that longer
films do, and do them better."
- Part of that , sounds remarkably
similar to a statement by Federico
Fellini. This belly-aching of directors
about the rigidities of plot and char
acter development is sheer laziness.
Their 'expatulations are, by turns, ir
ritatingt amusing, and boring.
- Joyce and Hemingway invented
two of the most revolutionary technical
stylistic innovations in literature while
hampered by the "stulifying restrictions
of plot and character development."
D. W, Griffith and Alfred Hitchcock
managed similar accomplishments in
the cinema. •
Her lir;t step toward the title was the Cham
pion Shorthorn Fitter award. Shorthorns are a
particular breed of cattle: Fitting refers to the
showman's ability to make the cow as clean as
possible, to clip it in the proper manner for the
species and to comb its hair properly. For this she
received a trophy and a plaque.
Next Miss Boyd won the Champion Shorthorn
Showman. This event was judged on the show
man's ability to display the animal to its best ad
vantage. Another trophy and plaque were hers.
Cash Award
Her next victory was the Champion Beef
Showman. This event encompassed all breeds of
cattle. For it she won a silver tray and bowl as
well as a cash award.
Then. she tried with Richard Kuzemchak (12th
animal industry-Clymer) for the Grand Champion
Showman. In this event they had to rotate around
the ring and show a cow, horse, sheep and swine.
Miss Boyd repeated this procedure because of the
tie, the horse acted up and she lost the title. She
had never shown a horse before.
, "That horse really scared me. It wanted to
eat my hand," she said.
In the final event, Reserve Grand Champion
Showman, Miss Boyd found herself in another tie.
Again the event was repeated. "After this second
tie I was so tired I could hardly walk through the
sawdust and sand of the ring," Miss Boyd said.

that is almost all technique with just
the slimmest excuse for a story: Note
"8 1 / 2 ," "Last Year at Marienbad," and
"Elvira Madigan." And, certainly, the
results can be brilliant, spectacular, and
dazzling. Yet the net effect is about as
artistically significant as a p erfrom
ance by a pianist whose inputis a vir
tuosity enabling him to toss off, say,
an "Emperor" concerto as easily es he
snaps on his white tie, but whose out
put reveals all the elan he would bring
to sipping coffee made \ from yester
day's grounds. What good is technique
unless it is made to serve the purpose
of art, which is that of codifying, ar
ranging, distilling, and thereby giving
purpose and meaning to experience?
There is a place in the cinema,
however, for pure experimentation, for
the exploration
~of new horizons that
will, hopefully, lead to new techniques,
forms and styles 'of dramatic applica
tion.
This time she emerged victoridus. She re
ceived another trophy and silver 'tray, along with
a cash award of $175.
She is not a very talkative person, but her
friends all said that they knew how she felt by the
ecstatic expression on her face. It lasted for three
days.
"With all the confusion of A long banquet
which began an hour after the contest,' and with
cleanup of the Ice Pavilion at 8 a.m. the following
day, it was a full day before I had time to realize
what I had done," she said.
