Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, BC: (MP1) NORTHFIELD, Minn., March 1 -- WHAT, LAURA SHY? -- Carleton College coed \ Laura Barton isn't really shy as she peeks from around a tree. After all, \ Laura is the coed who ran nude across a theater stage during a curtain \ call with nothing more than a smile, a ski mask and tennis shoes and \ socks. The "streaking" stunt cost her a boyfriend and gained her a cold. \ (AP Wirephoto) (jm60700stf-jm) 1974
