200 protesters stage rally at Liberty Hall
By Daniel Niemi Kansan staff writer
"The Last Temptation of Christ," the film that has sparked protests across the country, tempted about 200 people into the cold night to demonstrate at liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The protesters, most of them from St. Mary's Academy, Church and College in Leavenworth sang hymns, carried banners and knelt in prayer in front of the theater for an hour on an hour. They arrived about one-half hour before the 9 p.m. showing of the film.
the rev. Herve de la Tour,
headmaster of St. Mary's, said the
protesters were there to pray and
serve penance in compensation for an offense against God, to protest the film and to distribute fliers to dissuade people from seeing it.

directed by Martin Scorsese and based on a book by Nikos Kazantzakis, have focused on a scene where Christ is tempted by lust toward Mary Magdalene.
De la Tour said he hoped the protest would halt the showing of the movie at Liberty Hall. It is scheduled to run through Dec. 3.
Jerry Kramer, a senior at St. Mary's, said he hoped the protest would keep people from seeing the movie.
"I hope we're blocking the doors enough," he said.
The protesters, however, did not stop Sarah Buchmuller, Overland Park sophomore, from seeing the movie.

Many of the students refused comment. De la Laure said the policy stemmed from a similar protest of the movie "Heil Mei."

"He's one of the brightest young coaches in the country as far as being interested in and studying the game," Keady said.
Stallings said he thought Williams' experience as an assistant under North Carolina coach Dean Smith would add another perspective to his knowledge of the game.
spare.
"He's a great person. He's as honest as the day is long and he has a great capacity for work." Stallings said of Williams. "Also, I knew what his background was. You can't be an assistant to Dean Smith for 10 years and not learn."
"I like coaches who are well-rounded." Williams said. "I think he fell into that category."
Williams said he hired Stallings largely because he knew the young coach had contributed to Purdue's success. Williams said Stallings' knowledge of the game and preparation were important factors.
Williams said the two became acquainted on the recruiting trail and from games between Purdue and North Carolina.
"I think he's an excellent coach and an excellent teacher," Williams said. "He was able to talk to kids and understand their problems. And he was a very hard worker."
Stallings, who earned a bachelor's degree in marketing at Purdue, chose to go into coaching near the end of his playing career.

"I think hard work had something to do with it, but I think luck had more to do with it than anything else. I'm not worried about when the opportunity comes."
In high school, he played for one of most successful coaches in the nation at Collinsville (ill.) High School. His coach, Virgil Fletcher, had over 700 career wins and Stallings was his best player.
Stallings, in 6-5 guard, Stallings was named to the alliance state team and was an honorable mention high school All-American. Collins-ville had a 84-4 record in his final two years. His team finished third in the state his senior year.
"It was a good year, but at the same time, we could have won a championship both years and we didn't get it done," Stallings said. "When I think of all coach Fletcher had done, it would have been nice to send him out the way he deserved."
Stallings said he modeled himself after Mare Fletcher, the coach's son who played at Kansas and Tulane University. "I think of
"When I look back on it, I don't think of personal accomplishments." Stallings said of his high school career. "I look at the influence of my coach. He was probably very responsible for what I'm doing right now."
After graduation, he selected the University of Minnesota over Michigan, Illinois and Tulane. However, he was unable to attend Minnesota for personal reasons.
Assistant basketball coach Kevin Stallings served on the staff at Purdue University for six seasons before coming to Kansas.
