life story and to try to convince the crowd they were sinners.
"Did you ever think that you are being controlled by the devil?" he asked. "You are tools of the devil. All of you. The drug users and loose women here.
"You girls in shorts and halter tops, you are not feminine. You are not women. You are whores. And your professors who counsel you and teach you here at the University . . . did you ever stop to think that they are just raping your minds?"
AS IF STEALING the first chapter from a child psychology text, Smock baited the students his insults. The interest of the students grew alarmingly. The crowd, estimated one point to 500 people.
"The girls in sororities and on campus here at KU are putting the whores downtown out of business because they are giving it away instead of selling it," Mckinck said to invite the fury of listening women.
"And all those boys in fraternity houses who chose those same girls are just filled with evil, condescension, and hatred."
Smock directed women to dress modestly, wear dresses and clothes that covered them, not shirtless.
He took on all challengers as he paced the circle of students, sparring with religious
zealots, trading quotes from the Bible with them as fighters trade punches.
BY LATE AFTERNOON, the reformed hippeunter-preacher was surrounded by Izods and New Testamentes and others who began to take care of his frequent insults. Tempers soon heated up.
"I told him I was God, and he just started babbling something about me being the anti-Christ," said Kirk Rogers of Kansas City, Kan. "I knew that I was God, I'm God, but I knew that we could get up upset."
That seemed to be the intent of most of the vocal members of the crowd—to ridicule, mock or scorn.
"The man his looser, but it's entertaining," said Hal West, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman. "How many times do you see people doing things like this? It's hysterical."
Antineotte Clark, Tapeke freshman, was upset
but the insults Smock so freely threw around
"I stood up for myself, no one's going to call me a whore in public; there is a limit," she said.
Smock said he was satisfied with his afternoon's work. He labeled the reaction he received as typical of most college students.
"I expect to catch flak when I preach. I'm challenging their values and beliefs and try to stir up interest. No one was converted today but the seed has been planted."
The Kansas Union will have a $138,000 deficit for fiscal 1980 because of general economic conditions and the Satellite Union's growing pains, according to the Memorial Corporation Board, which reviewed an unofficial audit last night.
By VANESSA HERRON Staff Reporter
Kansas Union expects $138,000 deficit
"We didn't expect to make a profit." Warren Ferguson, associate director of the board said.
But the board didn't know how much of a deficit to expect, he said.
INFLATION, POOR publicity for the Satanite Union and unexpectedly high labor and maintenance costs.
Contrary to the opinions commonly muttered at the ends of long bookstores lines, the Union department stores have the best.
Furthermore, summer is always a slow time for the Union, Ferguson said, because two-thirds of the students leave Lawrence.
In fiscal 1980, which ended June 30, the Union's net income totaled $4,074, down from $1600 in fuel costs.
The profit goes to publishing companies and middle men, he said, and the Union has been bordering on a deficit for years while trying to remain self-supporting.
The Union is run by a non-profit organization headed by a 35-member board of students, faculty and alumni.
The situation is not as bleak as it sounds, Ferguson said, and business had picked up in the months leading up to the textbook sales. And extra money should come from renting space to groups for meetings and parties.
An average of 120 students a day have ordered their textbooks from the Satellite Union.
MEANWHILE, THE BOARD will try to solve the Union's money problems by cutting back on improvements, adjusting prices, reducing the tax burden and encouraging a very conservative budget for next year.
The board will organize a special task force for the community to advise the Union on cutting costs.
The committee should be in operation this year, president Marion Springer said.
"We look forward to an improvement in our finances in fiscal 1981, but it is not an easy task." Ferguson said. "The key will be in increasing the volume of sales at the Satellite Union."
IN OTHER ACTION, the board voted to appoint two more women, one student and one faculty member, to its membership. The board, discovered this summer that it had violated a bylaw that called for an equal number of male and female appointees.
Student body president Greg Schnacke also was granted permission to appoint a minority student to the board.
"If you'll look around this room, you'll notice that every member here is white" he said.
Schnacke said he would appoint the female and minority board members next month.
Students holding Union receipts for anything bought between Jan. 1 and June 30 will now have six months, instead of one year to redeem them or face value. The board approved the change last month to save money, while some members suggested discontinuing the dividend system altogether.
It would be very difficult to approve another dividend with that $4,000 bottom line," said David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs.
But the Board decided to maintain the program, which will cost the Union about $25,000 this year. It plans to honor the one year time limit printed on the 466 receipts.
In other business, the board elected KU alumna Marion Springer as president. Springer was appointed to the position last February to complete Reggie Robinson's unexpired term.
Student body vice president Matt Davis, Terri Topping, St. Francis senior, and Kevin Michelson, Pittsburgh sophomore, were appointed to the board's 13-member executive committee.
