Pageant’s talent unusual for 1985 Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The usual Miss America talent fare of singers, dancers and piano players will be jazzed up this year when Miss Michigan breaks a 4-inch-thick piece of concrete with her foot and walks on broken glass. Other unusual talent selections in clude a comic monologue by Miss Alaska, clog dancing by Miss South Carolina, down-home fiddle playing by Miss Texas, and presentation of an original commentary on the im pact of advertising by Miss District of Columbia. Those who selected talents less fa miliar to pageant audiences said they were only doing what they do best. But some acknowledged that there might be a strategic purpose behind their choice. “It will help me stand out,” Alecia Rae Masalkoski, 23, of Muskegon, Mich., said of'the opening of her ka rate performance, in which shell stomp across a bed of broken glass to demonstrate her powers of concen tration. “You feel it,” she said. “It’s a little prickly.” But she said she thinks the pag eant is ready for a Miss America with a black belt. “In the ’80s, women can be strong and capable of defending them selves and be feminine at tne same time,” said the woman who was the Midwest karate champion at age 16. Miss South Carolina, Sherry An nette Thrift of Westminster, said she began clog dancing 14 years ago af ter seeing former world champion Bill Nichols, who now lives in Wa- halla, S.C., perform in her home town. The 1975-78 female world cham pion will perform to the tune of “Are You From Dixie?” She said clogging, especially popular in the Appalachians, can be compared to tap dancing, but with different mu sic and a faster style. “Where I’m from . . . everybody does it,” the Clemson University graduate said. Miss Texas Jonna Fitzgerald, 21, of Greenville will abandon her many years of classical violin training and “fiddle” instead. She will play a med ley of “Csardas” and “Orange Blos som Special.” Miss Michigan plans to break a 4-inch-thick piece of concrete with her foot and walk on broken glass during the up-coming Miss America pageant. Miss Alaska, Kristina Christo- pher-Taylor, 20, of Anchorage, said she could have performed a ballet or jazz dance or played the flute. But she decided to portray an old, com plaining woman in “Scenes from American Life” by A.R. Gurneyjr. Asked if she thought it was risky to act in a pageant whose winners have largely been vocalists and in strumentalists, she said: "It’s what I do best. My good talent is acting. It would be ridiculous to change to something else.” However, Miss Nevada, Sonja Nall, 23, of Sparks, said she did con sider how to mold her talent in clas sical ballet so she could grab the at tention of the judges and audience. Miss District of Columbia, Cherie A. Ward, 22, wanted to keep the de tails of her act a secret, but described her composition as an original drama concerning how television controls the mind through advertis ing. “I’m a part of it,” she said. “That’s all I’m willing to reveal.” Patient exits isolation hooked on TV soaps Associated Press VICTORIA — Leukemia patient Steven Akin said an experimental procedure using his own marrow “seems to have taken hold.” But Akin said the 42 days he spent in a germ-free isolation room at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston left him hooked on tele vision soap operas. However, while in isolation at the hospital. Akin said he contracted a fungus infection. He received trans fusions of white blood cells from his sister, Winna Miller of Clear Lake, and John Davis, of Schiller Park, Ill. Davis and another sister, Barbara Davis of Green Bay, Wis., were found in March during a nationwide search for Akin’s long-lost siblings and a possible bone marrow donor. Tests eventually showed neither was comparable for a transplant. In July, Akin received an injection of his own bone marrow, which had been removed last year, frozen and stored until doctors were ready to try the transplant.
