Student strips down to protest preaching

By Brendan C. Manning
April 12, 2002

Western student Matt Russell stripped down to his underwear and socks
Thursday in Red Square, holding a sign that read, "This guy gave me a
great blowjob." Russell's sign referred to the evangelist he was
standing next to, George Smock, who has been preaching in Red Square
since Tuesday. "I got out of class and saw him (Smock)," Russell said.
"Then I went and bought a marker and poster board and took off my
clothes." He said the idea occurred to him last year when evangelists
came to Western and began preaching in Red Square. "Last year, I dropped
my pants ... anything I can do to make their message more diluted,"
Russell said. Smock appeared undaunted by Russell's protest and
continued to preach to the crowd, which increased to approximately 150
people at 2 p.m. "That's the devil," Smock said, referring to Russell.
"The Lord just turns this to my advantage."

I wonder if George Smock is any relation to Jed Smock?
He was a campus preacher around 20 years ago, renowned
for being able to maintain a full volume rant for eight
hours straight.

He was a crowd favorite, yelling abusive things about
students who were walking by, that girls were "whores"
and that frat boys were "masturbating homosexuals",
which I've no doubt were statements as often as not
accurate.

Once, for no particular reason, he lashed out at the
Fine Arts college, and I have *no* idea what invective
he used against them that they actually got upset
about, maybe that their art was derivative and their
Wiccan Priestess dressed them funny. In any event, they
responded by pelting him with mock oranges--so every year
thereafter, you always knew when Jed was coming, as the
grounds keepers would remove all the oranges.

But Jed was getting old. So he brought with him his
protege, a rather plain woman in her 20s with the biggest
mouth I've ever seen on a human except for a man who had
run, full-tilt, into concertina wire at head height while
screaming.

"From Disco Queen To (something-or-other)" read her
brochure, which made no sense whatsoever except maybe she
had been a follower of Satanic ABBA music before she had
found "the lord."

And though she had the mouth, she just didn't have the
cast-iron pipes and leather lungs for the job. A burnout
after just a few hours. Not that she didn't try. But it
was awful hard to be intimidated by a squeaky-voiced ex-
hippy-looking novice like her. And when a woman calls a
frat boy a "masturbator", he thinks it is a come-on.

So a group of them formed a tight circle, sitting down in
front of her. And then they started inching forward, a
little bit at a time. Distracted, she didn't notice
another one sneaking up behind to lift up her floor length
dress and take a peek. And he looked, long and hard, at
her panty covered butt, to the amusement of the crowd.

But not Jed. Jed came running out of the school library
at full tilt, screaming obscentities at the top of his
voice and made a running kick at the peeker. Peeker,
however, pulled away unexpectedly, like Charlie Brown's
football, with much the same result.

I believe they are one and the same, i.e. George "Jed" Smock:

I used to heckle him at UCSD in the late '70s. Such fond memories. I
took some pretty kewl photos of Bother Jed and Reverend Cindy, who is
now Mrs. Smock.

He called me a "heathen hippie whoremonger".

One time a crowd of students at UCSD tried to goad Jed into a fist
fight with a bunch of Hare Krishnas. We were chanting "Krish-Na,
Krish-Na, Krish-Na..."

Yup, that would be Cindy Lassiter. Here she is in the fall of 1978,
captured on my fine Rolleiflex camera:

Dang! That brings back memories. But where the hell is
Jed getting his tannis leaves? He must be in his late
80s by now.
As for "Sister Cindy", yep, that's her. Doesn't she look
like she is in intense pain?
I wish I could remember what her pamphlet said, "From Disco
Queen to..." what?
Geez, the last time I saw Jed was in the early 1980s. At
*that* time I thought he looks like Rev Stang looks *now*,
except for the beard and the smile. Jed always looked like
he had a mouth full of half-chewed green persimmons.

Thanks! That is one of my most PRIZED images. Cindy has real, REAL
bad acne scars that you can't see on this low-res version. I really
like the expressions on the faces of all the students around her too.

"Brother Jed." When ever he would say the word "fornication"
he would make this funny little hand sign and the students would
join him, derivig much amusement.

Why is it that just about every university in North America has a "Red Square"?

Western sophomore Alison Bacich tried to do exactly that on Wednesday
when she sang operas in a soprano voice, drawing students away from
Smock, who was preaching less than 10 feet away.

...

That's a lovely idea. Whenever demagogues get going in public, put
someone with more talent next to 'em.
