English major
college girl of year
By United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
Mississippi English major was
named “College Girl of the
Year” Friday night in ceremo
nies ending the annual Cherry
Blossom Festival.
Miss Marni Shideler, of
Sardis, Miss, and a student at
the University of Missippi, was
awarded $2,500 and a new car.
The student government at the
university will also get $2,500.
It’s a girl
BALTIMORE (UPI) - Anti
war priest Phillip Berrigan, 50,
and his 34-year-old wife, a
former Catholic nun, are the
parents of a 9Vz pound baby
girl, Berrigan disclosed Friday.
Berrigan, paroled in 1972
from a federal prison in
Danbury, Conn., where he
served two years for burning
draft records, said he and his
wife, the former Sister Eli
zabeth McAllister, named the
baby Frida after his 88-year-old
German mother and because
the name is derived from the
German word for peace.
The baby was bom last
Monday at the Jonah House,
their home here and also the
center for Catholic antiwar
activities.
Berrigan, ordained a Roman
Catholic Josephite priest, never
resigned from the priesthood
even though he no longer has
religious duties within the
church. He came here in the
19605, became a priest at inner
city churches and increasingly
involved himself in the move
ment for peace.
He married Elizabeth McAl
lister after meeting her at an
antiwar protest. She resigned
from her order shortly after he
was released from prison.
Extortion voided
TRENTON, N.J. (UPI) -
The extortion conviction of
John J. Kenny has been thrown
out by an appeals court, which
ruled that the state cannot
prosecute a man who was
granted immunity by the
federal government.
The Appellate Division of the
Superior Court Friday rejected
the stand of the state attorney
general’s office, which trig
gered a dispute with the U.S.
Attorney’s office by bringing
the former freeholder to trial
after he testified against eight
Hudson County officials in
federal court.
The appeals court, in a 2-1
ruling, overturned the convic
tion for extortion in a $50,000
payoff and Kenny’s sentence of
four to six years in jail and a
$2,000 fine.
A spokesman for the state
attorney general said a decision
will be made next week
whether to appeal.
Streaker
TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI) —
Gov. Robert Docking almost
had a streaker for lunch
Friday.
Docking was eating a ham
burger at his desk when a
streaker shed a trench coat
outside his door and dashed
past stunned office workers and
aides.
As the male streaker ap
proached the door to the
governor’s office, he encoun
tered Docking’s secretary,
Mary Hanfelt. The streaker
turned and fled the building.
Postponed
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
perjury trial of former top
White House official John
Ehrlichman has been postponed
from April 15 to May 20.
At the request of Ehrlich
man’s attorney, the trial was
postponed Friday to allow him
time to study the transcript of
Ehrlichman’s appearance
before the Watergate federal
grand jury in Washington.
Ehrlichman is charged with
perjury on the grounds he lied
to a state grand iurv here,
contradicting his federal grand
jury testimony, when he denied
he knew in advance of plans by
the White House “plumbers” to
burglarize the office of Daniel
Ellsberg’s psychiatrist.
A hearing has also been
scheduled for May 1 on
Ehrlichman’s request for a
change of venue.
Bernadette L. Vaughn of
Detroit and Wayne City Com
munity College, and Deborah
Kincaid of Humboldt, Tenn, and
Memphis State were the first
and second runnersup.
Darlene A. Morin, Manches
ter, New Hampshire and Notre
Dame College, was named
"Miss Congeniality.”

Sally 70
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Sally Rand celebrates her 70th
birthday tonight with a little
dance—a fan dance, naturally.
Miss Rand, who packed them
in at the Chicago World’s Fair
with the 1932 equivalent of an
X-rated performance, skittering
around nude behind artfully
flashing fans, is still at it. For
her 70th birthday celebration,
she will appear at the Music
Center Pavillion, the presti
gious theater where the Oscars
were handed out last Tuesday
night.
"The house is more than half
sold out,” a spokeswoman said.
“Actually, her 70th birthday
was Wednesday, she’s just
celebrating it tonight. She’ll do
a bubble dance too.”
How long will she go on?
“Who knows? I’ve never heard
her mention retiring?” How did
it all begin? “She says she was
supposed to be dancing in a
tunic at the Chicago fair, but
she ripped it and forgot to
mend it. Suddenly it was time
to go onstage, so she just
chucked the tunic, grabbed
some fans and used them to
cover up her bareness. She
never went back to the tunic,
not then, not since and not
tonight.”
