R movies
picketed
by church
United Press International
WHEELER — Neither the
minister of a fundamentalist
church nor any of his flock may
call, write or speak to the owner
of a movie theater the church
has been picketing because it
shows R-rated films, a judge
ordered.
The Rev. Ricky Pfeil, without
a lawyer, and Ed Knoll, owner of
the Rogue Theatre in Wheeler
— about 100 miles east of Amar
illo — met in court Wednesday
after Knoll’s lawyer filled a
$500,000 damage suit against
Pfeil for hurting his business.
Judge Granger Mcllhany de
clined to order a stop to the pick
eting, but directed the church to
send no more than four demon
strators to the theater to pray
and carry signs.
Besides picketing, Pfeil, of
the Christian Center, has paid
for ads in the Wheeler Times
denouncing Knoll for showing
such films as “The World
According to Carp” and “Blue
Lagoon,” Knoll said.
Knoll, who was a school
teacher before he bought the
theater in 1977, also complained
that Pfeil was sending him let
ters implying he was a non-
Christian, an alcoholic and a liar.
Knoll had a policy of not
showing R-rated films until 18
months ago when, because he
was losing money and “there was
nothing else to show,” he began
accepting more steamy material.
“I simply believe it’s some
thing Cod wanted me to do, to
stand up against debauchery in
our community,” Pfeil said.
The judge indicated the suit
probably will be tried in Feb
ruary.

The fair is sponsored by the

“Microcomputers can be
used in education Irom tutoring
to simulation," Fair Coordinator

nificant characteristic of micro
computers as tutors, he said, is
patience.

computers can drill a student on
a concept he may have trouble
