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 Albany Hall, 642 Massachusetts Uni.
The protesters, most of them from St. Mary's Academy, Church and College in Leavenworth sang hymns, carried knells and knelt in prayer in front of the theater for an hour 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 film and to distribute fliers to dissuade people from seeing it.
"It mocks our Lord. It insults him. It's sickening. It's porno-
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 Buchmueiler, 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."
To protest the local showing of the film, "The Last Temptation of Church gathered in front of Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., last Christ," about*200 people from St. Mary's Academy, College and night.

High school stars hoping to arrive
Maddox, Randall ready to back up lofty prep reviews

In major college basketball, being a former high school All-American is more of a necessity than a distinction.
a necessity than a distraction.
Among other players, you're another face in the crowd. To the crowd, it requires you to show your worth early and often.
Sophomore forwards Mike Maddox and Mark Randall brought a little extra baggage with them to Kansas. Both were McDonald's All-Americans, which ranked them among the top 25 high school seniors in the nation
the top 25 high schoolers. "I know at this level, what you accomplished in high school doesn't mean a thing," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "I've been very pleased with them. They've both worked hard."
Randall, at 6-foot 8½, 230 pounds, and Maddox at 6-6½, 215 pounds are overlooked by national publications that once trumpeted their high school accomplishments.
peted their high school averages weren't impressive. Randall averaged 4.5 points and grabbed 2.7 rebounds two years ago. Maddox's averages were 2.5 points and 1.6 rebounds last year.
Randall, who averaged 27.2 points at Englewood (Colo.) Cherry Creek High School, said he relished the opportunity to prove himself after a year on the sidelines. He was redshifted last year, partially because of the Jayhawks' surplus of big men.
"Its funny how things tend to turn around," Randall said. "This year, I'm kind of glad it's this situation. I want to go out
and do the things I know I'm capable of doing."
Jayhawk fans may have seen the first glimpse of the pair's potential Nov. 7 in a 91-72 win over the Spirit Express. Maddox scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Randall had 15 points and five rebounds.
"I think things are going pretty well," said Maddox, who averaged 25.6 points at Putnam City (Oklah). North High School. "I'm just trying to help out as much inside as I can. I'm doing my best to stay in there and fight."
and fight.
While redshirting last year, Randall had surgery to correct a breathing problem which he said has helped his endurance.
"It felt great," Randall said. "It been a long time since freshman year, but I think it was fun to get in front of the fans. I wanted to see how far along I'd come."
to see how far along he is.
Randall said his improved breathing helped him to come into the season quicker and stronger than he's ever been. He has added 35 pounds of muscle since the end of his freshman season.
"I didn't like to lift in high school, but when I realized how big and strong everybody was up here, I knew I had to," he said. "Now I love going in there and lifting."
Now I love being written about Kansas' lack of size. Maddox and Randall both said they and Sean Alvarado had some advantages against other front lines.
"I think we're going to run pretty well," Maddox said after the Spirit Express game. "We're really versatile, we can all play inside and outside."
inside and outside.
It is a big year for centers in the Bight Island. They range from giant size in 7-2, 235-pound Rich King of Nebraska and 7-0, 260-pound Johnny Pittman of Oklahoma State to super quick in 6-10 Stacey King of Oklahoma and Doug Smith of Missouri.
Orthodox men say, "We're definitely giving up quite a bit in height," Randall said. "But we know we can all handle it well."
