Faculty to take action against Justices to hear porn sting case WASHINGTON (AP)—The Supreme Court agreed this week to hear the appeal of a Nebraska farmer convicted of receiving governmentmailed "kid porn," setting up a key test of undercover sting operations. The justices said they will decide whether Keith Jacobson unlawfully was entrapped by Postal Service investigators who, posing as pornographers, repeatedly mailed him offers until he accepted one. Jacobson's lawyers said his rights were violated because he was targeted by the undercover investigation even though government agents had no reason to believe he had committed, or was likely to commit, a crime. Police found Jacobson's name on a San Diego pornography bookstore's mailing list in 1984. He had lawfully ordered two nudist magazines and a brochure from the store. Over the next 29 months, undercover postal inspectors repeatedly solicited Jacobson through the mail to buy illegal pornography. 'V

late fee fines By David Lobaugh Staff Writer
The Central State University faculty senate will vote today on a resolution asking administrators to rescind late payment penalties they plan to assess next fall. The resolution was written after senators and Dr. Herbert Giles, faculty senate president, received complaints about the new penalties, Giles said. "These new penalties were revealed when the 1991 fall schedule came out and some faculty members came to me in alarm about the delinquency charge," Giles said. Students have until Sept. 9 to pay their fees before they are assessed a $5 per credit hour penalty or a minimum late fee of $20. On Oct. 4, an additional $25 will be added to the Sept. 10 fees and on Oct. 25, $75 will be tacked on to the original penalty. There is currently a state statute that permits delinquincy charges up to 5 percent of the unpaid balance, but not to exceed $14, on delinquent outstanding balances. But CSU's plan calls for assessed penalties far beyond that. "Upon checking, I found out that it is legal for CSU or any state institution to charge whatever they want to on delinquencies, but it is not legal for any private company to make those charges.

AIDS: behavior change reduces risk By Corina Ormsbee Student Writer "It's a big thing that we shouldn't give our kids condoms, but do we want them dead?" said 26-year-old Cindy Pettigrew who is infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Pettigrew, a resident of Oklahoma City, was infected with HIV by a blood transfusion in 1987.

just been reading about Doug and Cindy's trials with HIV and AIDS, both Doug and Cindy have taken to the podium. They have lectured at Thatcher Hall, Murdaugh Hall and West Hall about their personal experiences with the assistance of Debra Porter, health care project director and AIDS education program director at the student health center.
"I have done a lot of speaking. And I've learned a lot about people. It's real strange that nobody seems to care. I know it's because of their fear of sexuality. And that they think AIDS is a gay disease," Cindy said. Doug said he believes some people have stereotyped people with AIDS. He said people he lectures to are surprised to see he looks just like them. "I feel good when I can help someone else understand the seriousness of this disease," Doug said. "I still date. She's educated (about AIDS) and we take safety measures. I have a virus, just like if you got a virus. There are V See AIDS/HIV, page 4.
