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 last night to demonstrate at Liberty Hall. 642 Massachusetts
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 about 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 the loss of their lives. The film and to distribute fliers on dissuade people from seeing it.

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 Buchuemeller, Overland Park sophomore, from seeing the movie.
"This guy was grabbing me and trying to get me to read this stuff," she said. "I said, 'I just want to see the movie.'
"It made me want to see the movie more."

"When Lynette Woodard was here, I had five people on scholarship," Washington said. "Even after we had some success, things remained tough. If a player like Lynette felt strong enough about this program to stay here for four years, we shouldn't have a problem with involvement. It's time for us to get people un in the stands."
"We have to take pride in being a balanced institution. Why not be excited about being the best women's basketball team in the Big Eight?"
Freshmen Tanya Bonham and Danielle Shareef, along with six other newcomers, could see a lot of playing time this season for Kansas.

By Craig Anderson
Kansan sports editor
"Overall we have a more talented class with more potential than last year's group of seniors." Jayhawk coach Marian Washington said of this year's recruiting class. "We're expecting an awful lot from the freshman class."
It was high praise coming from someone who has seen almost everything in the Kanada.
Comparisons to last year's senior class put into perspective just how much is expected from the 1968 freshman class. It has a strong lead to follow.
The 1988 class — including Lisa Dougherty, Sandy Shaw, Lisa Baker, Jackie Martin and Mesho Stroughter — combined for 79 victories in its four seasons. Included in the accomplishments were two consecutive Big Eight Conference tournament championships in 1987 and 198 and two NCAA tournament appearances.
With last season's frontline wiped out by graduation and ineligibility, freshmen Danielle Shareef of Riviera Beach, Fla., and Marthea McCloud of Detroit have emerged as frontrunners for the starting forward spots.
It's time for the Jayhawks of the future to begin building their status. The chance will come soon, as Kansas must replace not only seven seniors from last season, but also last year's top freshmen. Richardson, Richardson, who was ruled academically ineligible before practice began this fall.
"I've been pretty happy with the past few weeks," said the 5-foot-9 Shareef. "I'm just concentrating right now on rebounding well and holding my player to a minimum
