Personally, Denver Post Cartoonist Patrick Oliphant, 32, leans toward Nelson Rockefeller for President, but he has a funny way of showing it. In one of his cartoons, Rocky is pictured up in some squalid attic dolefully examining a pair of track shoes: To run or not to run? That is the question. In another cartoon, he is portrayed as a fox with a lopsided grin on his face nonchalantly padding up to Dick Nixon, who is seated smugly on a nag surrounded by a pack of dogs...
Leverett House obstetrician James Rivaldo stopped by and made one last desperate effort to save The Harvard Lampoon. He administered a cartoon featuring a gawky three-legged bird laboriously laying an Easter egg as large as itself. Out of the egg hatched a giraffe carrying a banner inscribed "Legalize Abortion."

They ignored Negro militants leading the strike; for a while, the Commercial Appeal even banned Lawson's name from the paper.

The winning cartoon, Marcello, I'm So Bored (John Milius; University of Southern California) tritely surveys familiar ground (wicked old Southern California) in Disneylike animation, drawings, and for the piece de resistance, a little photographic negative. That it says nothing and means nothing is troubling only because the negative footage looks well...
