People in the news 'Fridge'expects an icy reception CHICAGO (AP) William “The Refrigerator” Perry promises to be as full of tricks tonight, when he meets television host David Letterman, as he is on the football field. “I’ve got something up my sleeve,” Perry said of his scheduled appearance on “Late Night With David Letterman,” while declining to reveal what that was. Perry, the 308-pound rookie defensive tackle, has captured the attention of the nation by playing some offense, bulldozing for one touchdown and catching a pass for another. “I want to see what kind of jokes he’s going to crack,” the amiable Perry said after he recorded five tackles and two bone-crunching sacks in Chicago’s 24-3 victory over Detroit Sunday. He lined up in the backfield several times in the first quarter of Sunday’s game, when the Bears had trouble scoring from near the goal line. But he did not carry the ball. “I’m not upset at all,” he said of his failure to score. “I had two sacks and a couple of tackles today. I’m having fun on defense.” “I’m enjoying defense now,” he said. “I’m starting now and playing all the time.” MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) Muncie still wants people to know that “David Letterman slept here.” The east-central Indiana city has adopted a promotional campaign using the name of the popular NBC television star, who graduated from Ball State University in 1970. Lettermen, a former student disc jockey, now hosts “Late Night With David Lettermen” four nights a week on NBC. The Delaware County Convention and Tourism Commission, which came up with the idea, plans to erect billboards near the city inviting passersby to “visit Muncie, David Lettermen slept here.” The signs will feature a pillow inscribed with the initials BSU and another line reading “14 Muncie area hotels to choose from.” A final message directs readers to a nearby visitor information center, a service station with informational brochures. “The idea was that something happens here,” said Gary Demaree, the marketing consultant for the Delaware County Convention and Tourism Commission. “We had to think of the claims to fame we had. Our concept was to try to come up with a message that would attract, entice, just do something to catch the eye, maybe even bring a grin,” he said. Another billboard in the campaign will say “Steven Spielberg had a close encounter here,” a reference to the movie director’s use of Muncie as a backdrop for his movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Tourism officials said they tried to get permission from Letterman and Spielberg to use their names but couldn’t reach the celebrities. “Our legal people said they didn’t have a problem,” David Robertson, commission president, said

DAVID LETTERMAN Muncie's man

NEW YORK (AP) Comedian Bill Cosby’s Ed.D., like many an advanced education degree, is a sham, says writer Reginald G. Damerall in a new book, “Education’s Smoking Gun.” “Everybody knows Cosby,” says Damerall, a former University of Massachusetts professor. “He just happens to illustrate the point.” Damerall, quoted in the current issue of People magazine, says Cosby received credits for appearances on such television shows as “Sesame Street” and “The Electric Company,” and his 242-page doctoral dissertation discussed ways that teachers could use his television shows as educational tools. But Louis Fisher, acting dean of the University of Massachusetts School of Education when Cosby received his doctorate, told People that the comedian’s dissertation was “a very respectable piece of work.” • NEW YORK (AP) Actress Helen Hayes has been given the 1985 Pearl S. Buck Foundation Woman’s Award for her “career, devotion to family and children, and pursuit of humanitarian goals.” Miss Hayes, 85, received the award Sunday in a ceremony at the Plaza Hotel. The Buck Foundation, established by the late author in 1964, provides medical, educational and psychological assistance to Amerasian children in six Asian nations. • THIS WEEK’S CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY PEOPLE: Actor Roy Scheider, 50, and singer Donna Fargo, 36, added a year on Sunday, while Monday means No. 60 for comic Jonathan Winters and No. 34 for Hoosier golfer Fuzzy Zoeller. Singer-songwriter Neil Young hits the big 4-0 on Tuesday, while gymnast Nadia Comaneci, 24, and Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, 77, also celebrate. On Wednesday, it’s No. 44 for actor Jack Rambo of “Dallas” and No. 53 for actor Richard Mulligan. Actor Brian Keith, 64, Britain’s Prince Charles, 37, and entertainer McLean Stevenson, 56, share Thursday birthdays, while Sen. Howard Baker, 60, actor Ed Asner, 56, singer Petula Clark, 53, and actress Joanna Barnes, 51, add a year on Friday. Next Saturday means No. 77 for actor Burgess Meredith and No. 41 for actress Joanna Pettet.
