By LUPE EAMON UofA Desert Yeartxx k Tucson, AZ- The Gospel of Thomas quotes Jesus as saying When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children, then you will see the son of the Liv- ing One. Although most people have never heard of this particular book, Bruce Friedemann, the infamous naked protestor put great stake in it. Friedemann, a 38 year-old Tucsonan, took it upon himself to spread the unknown gospel to the clothed multitude. The sunny Monday af- ternoon of the 19th wit- nessed his protest of Arizona ' s state indecency law on the mall. Friedemann displayed, among other things, signs with quotes from the court case State v. Gates which dealt with the boundaries between nude and lewd, and the Gospel of Thomas, a book written a long time ago not canonized by the church. However it was not so much what he said as how he said it. His in the buff demonstration at- tracted the attention of passer-bys, police, and the press. Friedemann had a his- tory of voicing his political and moral views on cam- pus. He cau.sed quite a disturbance in front of the Main Library in April 1 986, yelling President Reagan is Satan and distributing political fliers. The UAPD was informed and reported to the scene. He was re- ported as displaying a bel- ligerent attitude towards the police and calling upon the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. For- mal charges were later brought against him by two students which forcibly re- moved him from campus. No formal complaints were filed in the event of the nude protest. However, after the Wildcat ran a front page photo of Friedemann which displayed frontal nudity, the protestor offered his own objections. In a letter to the editor, he criti- cized the article as poorly written, and making him look like a crazy, stupid troublemaker. The photo, according to Friedemann, showed that he had no pubic hair and a very small penis. In response, a barrage of letters were sent to the Wildcat criticizing the pro- testor and his views on nu- dity, decency, politics and money. Although the ac- tual protest garnered little response in person, print was another matter. Weeks later the editors asked, Please, no more ' naked protestor letters. '

Latham By MONTY PHAN Arizona Daily Wildcat On the ground floor of the McKale Center, on the wall at the north end, hangs nine football team photos with a score under each one. And centered under the pho- tos, in big red letters travers- ing the distance of three of the pictures, is painted the two most hated words in an Arizona State football fan ' s vocabulary: The Streak. Ah, but never fear. Sun Devils, it ' s only two games in a row (so far). Friday, November 25th ' s annual clash of intrastate ri- vals was supposed to be ASU ' s chance to knock Ari- zona out of the Rose Bowl for once. But since Oregon took care of that on October 29 at Eugene, the Sun Devils came into Tucson looking to settle for an old fashion whuppin ' and for awhile, it looked like they would leave Tucson satisfied. However, a missed field goal by Arizona State kicker Jon Baker in the closing minute of the game sealed a 28-27 victory for the Wild- cats. So what did the one point margin do to fuel the rivalry? Absolutely nothing, because, like most intrastate rivalries, the so-called fire is damn near an inferno, just ask. UA defensive end Tedy Bruschi: Even if we were 1-9 and beat ASU, it would be a good season.
