McCiirty’s only comments on seeing the house were, “That’s very nice; they left the lights on.” The next morning, Miss Tep- ier awoke to iind a message instructing her to call the McCurry’s. When she did, Gene McCurry, the owner, informed her that her “hours had been terminated“ and she could pick up her pay in cash. When she asked for a reason, he said, ‘it’s your environment, the way you live." Two ‘89 Grinnell graduates, Krystyna Neuman and Jim Rudolph, accompanied Miss Tepier to the cafe. McCurry saitl he had already sent the check in the mail, so he and his eXremployee went back to the kitchen to discuss the mat- ter. At this time. Miss Neuman tried to take a picture of them from the front oi the cafe. McCurry moved out of the camera’s View, and came towards Miss Neuman with what she described as a “really vicious look on his face." He tried to talte the camera irom her.

Miss Tepfer expects the case to go on for about a year, after which she may get her job or some money back. in Commenting on the inci- dent, Miss Tepier said, “One thing I've learned is that people in town tolerate freaks if they are taking money from you, but it it's the other way, they’re not so open-minded.
