KU alum named best 1969 news photographer
A former University of Kansas student, Perry Riddle, was chosen Newspaper Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA).
Riddle's portfolio was chosen over those of 128 other contestants by judges in the 16th Annual Pictures of the Year Competition-
Prize winners in 23 categories were chosen from 7,606 prints entered in the competition. The pictures are the work of 530 photographers from 39 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada.
The contest, co-sponsored by the NPPA, the University of Missouri School of Journalism and World Book Science Service, annually provides a forum where a jury of press and magazine photographers and editors can evaluate the year's best work.
Riddle attended KU from 1957-1959 after two years at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia. Although he never received a degree from KU, he worked as a photographer and was a teaching associate in photojournalism here.
In 1959 Riddle said, "I was majoring in history and photographing rare frogs and lizards, reams of charts and graphs and thousands of students for ID cards."
That year Riddle joined Kappa Alpha Mu (KAM), the national honorary photojournalism fraternity, and started working at photojournalism seriously.
During the next two years Riddle made portfolios for the collegiate photography competition sponsored by KAM and NPPA. He placed high both years.
Riddle worked for the Topeka Capital-Journal before going to work in 1967 for the Chicago Daily News.

Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village senior, and Frank Zilm, St. Louis, Mo., junior, have declared their candidacy for student body president and vice-president, respectively, Leffel announced yesterday.
Leffel to run
When asked why he delayed announcing his candidacy, Leffel answered, "The fact that we delayed so long is not an issue. I don't think we are late anyway. The elections aren't until April 23."
Lefel said he would announce his platform next week.
Leffel, a member of Delta Chi, has served on the All-Student Council (ASC) for two years. He is chairman of the ASC Committee Evaluation Board, and also a student representative on the Senate Committee on ROTC. A member of Owl Society, Leffel is majoring in economics and has been on the honor roll.
No federal loans to be granted to campus rioters
WASHINGTON (UPI) - HEW Secretary Robert H. Finch said yesterday he is reminding college administrators of laws requiring federal aid to be cut off to students convicted of rioting on campus.
Finch said the office of education in his Health, Education and Welfare Department is preparing letters to be sent to colleges citing two sections of federal law. One says a court conviction of rioting on campus requires federal scholarship or loan aid to be cut off. The other requires a university hearing and finding of guilt following a court conviction before the aid can be terminated.
Zilm has been in the ASC the past year and is majoring in architecture. He has an architecture scholarship and serves on the ASC Architecture Committee. Zilm is also president of McCollum Hall.
Other candidates in the student body election are: Independent Student Party, Bill Hansen, Kansas City law student, president, and Marilyn Bowman, Kansas City junior, vice-president; Action Coalition: Bob Stoddard, Kansas City junior, president, and Duke Brown, Kansas City junior, vice-president.

Visions of loot may have sustained burglars as they hacked, sawed and smashed their way through a tin and wood roof and two wooden ceilings of a drugstore.
Then they broke through to the marquee of the store, extending three feet out over the sidewalk.
