BROTHER JIM Brother Jim Gilles made his annual appearance at the sundial between Fine Arts and LRC much to the pleasure and amusement of UWSP students. Students, needing diversion from approaching finals, enjoyed the show. They finished sentences with the proper word (usually “sin” or “sex” or “lusty ) and helped him count off the four steps Jim utilized to seduce women before he found the Lord, when he was “running with the Devil. After getting a girl to his apartment, he would 1) put on “the James Taylor Music, 2) kiss her on the lips, 3) explain there was only one way to express the love he felt, and then, 4) point out that if she really loved him, she would. But it was not love that motivated the unsaved Jim, but... and he left it to the crowd to shout the answer to him: LUST! Brother Jim then relinquished the stage for two hours, during which time Jim's two “Sister aides reviled the audience as sinners, “whores, and “wife-beaters.

A biker, tired of Sister Pat's message, buzzed her. He narrowly missed her, then as he pedaled away decided to show off by popping a wheelie — and promptly fell on his posterior. He arose unharmed physically. Sister Pat smiled smugly, and said God had caused the fall in retaliation for her. After two hours of the Sisters, people started chanting for Jim's return — then they physically carried the “reluctant preacher back on stage to enthusiastic cheers and laughs.
