No More Controversy Splits Town Over Immoral Exhibit
Chief Ellis noted about 185 women attended last Wednesday’s performance. Concord College professor Jan Atkins defended the show as art and humor, while Athens resident Nancy Jagnoski warned against rights infringement. Clergy urged enforcement of city codes amid opposition voices and the gallery owner argued the venue is a wholesome attraction. Resignations by Gillespie and Ford followed, with three council members leaving within a year. Other items include Carter seeking emergency gasoline rationing and Pope John Paul II calling gene experiments dangerous. Police later recovered a stolen 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix atop East River Mountain, with ongoing witness discrepancies.
