Geter active SHOE
in civil rights
since release
by Jeff MacNelfsic
Associated Press
GREENVILLE — More than a
) ear after Lenell Geter’s conviction
for an armed robber) he didn’t com
mit was overturned, the aerospace
engineer divides his time between
civil rights activities and making his
peace with this Northeast Texas
town.
The ) oung engineer captured na
tional attention in his struggle to
have the conviction overturned. He
shared his triumph with the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, which ini
tiated his legal campaign.
Geter talks with reverence about
the NAACP and the role its attor-
ne), George Hairston pla) ed in his
case. He told the Dallas Time Herald
he plans to be in Dallas this week to
attend several events at NAACP’s
76th annual Convention.
Last week, Geter founded the
Geter Justice For All Foundation to
offer referral services for inmates
needing assistance. He is a regular
speaker before alumni associations
and church groups and has sold the
film rights to his stor) to a Los An
geles production compan).
In 1982, Geter was convicted of
robbing a fast-food restaurant in the
Dallas suburb of Balch Springs de
spite testimon) from co-workers that
he was working when the robber)
occurred.
Geter spent 16 months in a Texas
prison before he was released and
then cleared of the charge after an
other man was identifed as the rob
ber.
Although prosecutors called the
conviction a case of mistaken iden-
tit), Geter has said it resulted from
racism, shodd) police work and
overzealous prosecutors.
Geter said there was a time when
he did not want to go back to Green
ville. But he has returned to the
Northeast Texas cit), where he lives
with his wife, Marcia, and works for
E-S) stems as an engineer on aero
space projects.
Geter said he has experienced
nothing but friendliness from resi
dents since his return. He frequentl)
is cornered b) people who just want
to talk to him or shake his hand.
Amateur radio group

The Memorial Student Genter
Amateur Radio Gommittee — sta
tion W5AG — traveled to Lake Som
erville this weekend to participate in
the 52nd annual Field Da).
The nationwide event is an oppor-
tunit) for amateur ‘ham’ radio oper
ators to test their skills under less
than ideal conditions. This experi
ence gives ham operators an oppor-
tunit) to see what it would be like to
operate under emergenc) condi
tions.
To fulfill the requirements of the
event, the radio club or member
must operate the radio transmitter
without a radio tower and awa' from
a pe-
conventional power sources for
riod of 27 hours.
T he object of the field da) is to
talk to as man) operators as possible
outside the immediate area in the
designated time.
“We talked with ever) one," Rob
ert Eden, director of operating for
the Texas A&M club said. “We
talked with people from Alaska to
Florida.”
Eden said the MSG Amateur Ra

AUSTIN — The pastor of a large Austin Baptist
church wants to drop the word “Baptist” from the
church’s name because he thinks it hurts attendance.
It’s a word that Pastor Gerald Mann fears can conve)
“narrowness” and “heres) hunting.”
“The reason I’m not bolting from the convention is
we (the Southern Baptist Convention) have the best
Christian witness program,” Mann said.
“I’m proud to be a Baptist in the traditional sense,
but I’m not proud to be a Baptist in the present sense,”
Mann said Sunda).
“What’s at stake here is the heart of the Southern
Baptist Convention, which has alwa) s been a cooper
ative effort to minister to people around the world.
We’re Christian witnesses before we are Baptists.
So he’s proposed a name change. The Riverbend
Baptist Church would become the Riverbend Church,
followed b; smaller letters noting the congregation’s af
filiation with the Southern Baptist Convention.
“It is not a change in lo) alt), it’s a change

said. “Our whole mission (at Riverbend) is to reach peo

phasis. If the word Baptist is associated with contro-
vers;, narrowness, fundamentalism, heres) hunting —I
fear that’s what's happening alread) — m) thought
would be to change the name to Riverbend Church of
Austin, then in smaller letters below ‘Affiliated with the
Southern Baptist Convention.’”
Mann first suggested the change last week when he
reported to his congregation on the meeting of the
Southern Baptist Convention, which, to the distress of
Mann and other moderate Baptists, was dominated b)
fundamentalists.
Riverbend congregants will have the final word on
the name of their church. Mann said he has heard no
reaction to his suggestion.
Mann, whose church attracted 1,600 to the two Sun
da) services three weeks after it opened at its nfew loca
tion in April, said he is not advocating that Riverbend
withdraw from the Southern Baptist Convention, the
largest Baptist organization.
Mann said he considers Riverbend an ecumenical
church because it draws worshipers from man) faiths
other than Baptist, and he said that fundamentalism is
opposite from the positive, upbeat approach to religion
at Riverbend.
“Our church hds nothing to do with all that neg
ative,” Mann said. “I don’t want to taint the good spirit
of this church. I don’t want to be involved in tha
