Without question the most fascinating aspect of this year's survey is the impressive analytical work of Indy staffers. They point out that the University's refusal to release statistics concerning the "religio-cultural" affiliations of students leads to "a slew of rumors regarding the religious composition of the student body--most notably, the chatter about 30 percent of undergraduates being Jewish."

Nettles died of cancer in 1985. By the late '80s, the cult had lost a slew of members. This was when Applewhite turned to the Internet to gather a new flock. One of the newest converts was Yvonne McCurdy-Hill, a 39-year-old Cincinnati woman. She left behind five children in September to join the cult and was one of the 39 who used pills...
