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 an offense against God, to protest the killing of a girl and to dissuade people from seeing it.

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.

"It made me want to see the movie more."
