NEWPORT, Ore. OP) - Au-
thorities say they have learned
the identities of a man and wo-
man claiming to be leaders of a
Jesus Christ-Outer Space cult
and found they spent time in
Texas and Missouri jails during:
the past year.
However, investigators also
say they are still puzzling over
the whereabouts of an undeter-
mined number of people in Ore-
gon, California and Colorado
who were told by the couple
they ought to forget everything
and leave earth on a spaceship
to meet their savior.
AND authorities still don't
know where the couple known
as "The Two" are.
The couple's identities sur-
faced in Harlingen, Texas. Po-
lice Capt. John Doster said they
were arrested and locked in the
Cameron County jail on Aug. 28,
1974, on stolen car and credit'
card abuse charges.
Dotter identified them as Mar-
shall Herff Applewhite, 43, and
Bonnie Lee Trousdale Nettles,
48. He said they were arrested
after they held a news confer-

ence in a Harlingen motel room,
rented in the name of a local
television newsman who called
police because the couple rented
the room in his name without
his knowledge.
POLICE checked out the cou-
ple and found they were wanted
elsewhere.
Applewhite said his new name
was Shril Pranvanha and that
he was born in Spur, Texas, son
of a Presbyterian minister. The
woman said her new name was
Shaki Devi but told nothing else
about herself.
"We came to the Rio Grande
Valley by spiritual guidance,"
said Applewhite before he was
taken to jail to await extradi-
tion to St. Louis to face charges
on stealing a rental car. "We're
not married, but we're living to-
gether. We have renounced sex
in preparation for our journey."

APPLEWHITE and Nettles re-
portedly were vague about the
philosophy of their "Human In-
dividual Metamorphosis" (HIM)
society, but reporters said they
sprinkled their talk with refer-
ences to the Bible's Book of
Revelations and a "better life."
Revelations, in the New Tes-
tament, predicts the earth's de-
struction and the second coming
of Christ.
The identities of the couple
were brought to light yesterday
by the Portland Oregonian. It
said Applewhite was taken to St.
Louis where he pleaded guilty tc
car theft and spent four months
in the county jail.
NETTLES was taken to Hous-
ton on credit card charges, but
police had no record of her ar-
rival, dismissal or prosecution.

The University has a snazzy
new computer that keeps better
track of the books than ever be-
fore and makes it easier to
crack down on delinquent bor-
rowers.
Housed in the Graduate Li-
brary basement, the Singer 10
Computer records the identifi-
cation numbers of both the stu-
dents and faculty members who
k'ep books overtime and will
alert librarians if they try to
check out additional volumes.
THE BIG machine also will
prevent books from being
checked out on lost or stolen
identification cards - provided'
students report the loss at Win-
dow A in the LSA building.
"It saves tirne and is more ef-
ficient," says Kirk Nims, re-
serve desk superintendent. "It
gives students a lot less hassle."
Another big complaint among
students is that they never re-
ceive their overdue notices, ac-
cording to Nims. In the past,
the notices were sent to the last
known address for the students
- which often is in error.
BUT with the computer, the
library system can keep much
closer tabs on the students and
their whereabouts.

It is exasperating to be
called so persistently
when the last thing we
want to do is to get up
and go but God elects to
keep on haunting like
some holy ghost.
