   The holy rollers have hit MSU again...  I'm disappointed that
we only rated Sister Cindy - and only for one day.  Usually we at
least get Jed for a few days.
   To sum it up, I include these exerpts from the MSU rag
_The_State_News_ (p. 8 April 7, 1992) :

"Pour Out Your Beer, Read the Bible"
Tracey Birkenhauer, State News MS&U Writer

 "Students at MSU are a bunch of whores, homos, drunkards, and
rubber lovers.  We are all on the highway to hell.  Our professors,
parents, fraternity brothers and sorority sisters, most ministers,
and all rock 'n' roll singers are on a wide road to destruction.
Judgement Day is coming and the lake of fire is real.

  "All of these proclamations were whole-heartedly preached to almost
1,000 students Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. outside Wells Hall
[also known as "Hell's Wall"] 
by Cindy Smock, better known as Sister Cindy.  Wearing a long khaki
skirt with penny loafers and a blue cardigan sweater, she attempted
to make students at MSU listen to her message for her love of God."

   ...  [part in here about showing up with her four daughters
and her talking about 10 commandments] ...

  " 'You need to read God's word and prepare for the big finale,'
Smock said.  'Get prepared to stand naked in front of your hold God.
Pour out your beer and read the bible, flush your marijuana down the
toilet and read the bible, boys get your hands off your girlfriend's
breasts and read the bible, girls get your hands out of your
boyfriend's pants and read the bible and turn off your soaps and TV's
and read the bible.'

 "She proceeded to tell lookers-on that they weren't very intelligent.

 "'I'll tell you  just how dumb you are,' she proclaimed.  'You're
so dumb, you've fallen for condoms.  You're a bunch of rubber lovers!'
she screamed, stretching the condom in her hands."

  ... [part in here about her accomplices, Celeste McMillian, an
MSU education graduate, and her husband Bill and two daughters] ...

   "'Most churches are preaching lies and partial truths,' Bill said.
'It's like a glass of orange juice with a little strychnine in it.'

   "Bill and Celeste's daughter Jackie, 16, said she doesn't go to 
public school - her mother teaches her at home.  Wearing a big straw
hat, she said she wearsa head covering and frilly dress because the
bible says women should dress modestly and with propriety.  'I dress
nice when I come to talks because it separates me from the crowd,'
Jackie said.  'Also, a woman should be in submission to a man as I
am in submission to my father.'

  "'My daughters submit to me and I submit to the Lord,' said Bill.
'He's the ultimate authority.'

  "Most students outside of Wells Hall that gathered to listen to
Smock were either upset, infuriated, or dumbfounded.  'This is America
and we can listen to what we want to,' Communications senior Stephan
Johnson said after Smock criticized rock 'n' roll music.

  "In respons to Smock's three girls reciting psalms for the crowd,
Joanne Ogur, no-preference freshman said, 'These kids are being
brainwashed.  They're not in school and they have no minds of their
own.'

  "'It's unfortunate these kids are being subjected to this language,'
said Karen Cholakian, telecommunications freshman, after Smock spoke
of swallowing come.

  "Smock ended her sermon with, 'God have mercy on your souls.'"
