QUIRKY WORLD ... Student suspended for asking Miss America to dance

USA: Miss America is asking a Pennsylvania school district to reconsider the punishment of a student who asked her to a dance during a question- and-answer session at assembly.

Nina Davuluri posted a statement on the Miss America Facebook page saying she contacted Central York High School to ask officials to rethink the three-day suspension issued to 18-year-old Patrick Farves.

But Miss Davuluri said her travel schedule will prevent her from attending the prom dance.
