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 St. Mary Hall, 642. Massachusetts University.
The protesters, most of them from St. Mary's Academy, Church and College in Leavenworth sang hymns, carried bargains 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.

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.
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 killings of two students at the film and to distribute fliers to dissuade people from seeing it.

Sophomore Alonzo Jamison will redshirt this year because he didn't meet NCAA academic standards after transferring from Rancho Santiago (Calif). Junior College.
Three Jayhawks face a season on the bench
By Tom Stinson
Associate sports edito
To Kansas senior Ricky Calloway, the bench is not a comfortable seat.
but vanoway, who transferred to Kansas from Indiana because coach Bobby Knight benched him indefinitely toward the end of last season, has learned to get used to the thought of sitting and watching his new teammates this season.
Under NCAA rules, he must sit out a season before being eligible to play for the team.
sayings:
"It's going to be tough on me." the 6-foot-6 forward said. "I like to play. I'm a competitive person.
"But I can get enjoyment out of watching the team play, knowing they're playing hard. I'll be in every game hollering like I'm participating."
calloway is one of three Jayahwks who have to hit out this year. Freshman Malcolm Nash and sophomore Alonzo Jamison also will be watching from the bench.
Nash failed to meet NCAA Proposition 48 guidelines and will have to sit this year without even practicing with the team.
Proposition 48 is an NCAA layaw requiring incoming freshmen student-athletes to score at least 15 on the ACT exam or 700 on the SAT exam. Student-athletes also must have a minimum high school grade point average of 2.0.
average of 2.5.
Jamison did not meet the minimum credit hours allowed under NCAA rules when he transferred from Rancho Santiago (Calif) Junior College. The 6-5, 235 pound forward is redshirting this year, so he will not lose a year of eligibility and is able to practice with the team.
"They're adopting a positive attitude toward the whole thing and are just working hard to make the best of it," coach Roy Williams said. "Ricky knew he would not be able to play. Alonzo found out this summer, and he was very disappointed. But, he's treating it as a typical redshirt year.
"I think they've already decided to handle it, and it's already been done. They'll just try to learn from it."
Calloway was a starter on the 1987 national champion Indiana team and was named Big Ten freshman of the year in 1986, but when he played only one minute in the Hoosiers' final conference game last year and didn't play in Richmond's first-round upset of Indiana in the NCAA tournament, he decided to leave the school.
"I enjoyed three years there," said Calloway, who averaged 18.1 points and 4.3 rebounds a game as a junior. "Last year just didn't work. I just wasn't happy."
The 6-7 Nash averaged 15.5 points and 11 rebounds a game as a senior at Vashon High School in St. Louis, Mo.
Williams said Nash was spending extra time in study hall and lifting weights in preparation for next season. Nash was unavailable for comment because of Williams' rule of freshmen not being able to be interviewed until after their first game.
Jamison averaged 19.5 points and 12.5 rebounds a game and was named the coplayer of the year in the California Junior College system as a freshman last season.
Earlier this fall, he scored 16 points in an intrasquad scrimmage in Salina, and he had an impressive debut in Allen Field House by bringing the backboard at "Later with drums."
"That's when I really knew he cared about the players coach (Larry) Brown signed," he said. "He told me if I went back to junior college, that he'd recruit me again.
damson said Williams gave him a choice of playing another junior college year or sitting out at Kansas this year after finding out he couldn't compete this year.
"I thought I might as well come and learn the system now. This way, I get to learn the ropes. I sort of took it in stride. This (redshirting) makes it easy. I think it will work out to my advantage."
