We can look at a person's head and say "you are missing 67 percent of your hair.” This is a fact This is not good; this is not bad. It is a fact We declare that when we lose our har that we wW not think that we are fooling anyone (or ourself) . CLASSIFIED INSTRUCTIONS If you are placing an ad, please read this section in it’s entirety before writing and submitting your ad. THE BASICS: Be sure to carefully read and follow all instructions. We have designed them to help you, and not because we enjoy making rules. Please type your advertisement, or print neatly. All ads must be accompanied by your signature on the release form below (right). You must provide us with your first name, your last name, and your mailing address before we will publish an advertisement for you. We cannot publish an ad based solely on your signature. PUBLICATION STANDARDS: The Front Page reserves the right to reject any advertising for any reason. You can say just about anything, but please remember we reach a diverse audience and phrase your ad with that tact in mind. We ask that you be positive about yourself, rather than negative about others. In general, when editing your ad, we will not alter the content We may, at our option, correct minor errors in grammar and spelling. Ads which contain major grammatical and spelling errors will be typed as submitted and tagged [Typed as submitted] in the ad text which is printed. Most specific words in the English language are not considered offensive. It is the context in which they are used that we may consider objectionable. Therefore, we may delete or modify offensive and/or obscene phrasing without notifying you. For example: ■ We win not print the phrase "No fats, no ferns, no blacks!"T\vs statement — and those which are similarly rude and/or racist—will simply be deleted. If these matters are important to you, there are polite ways of saying so. (Also: Advertisers are not required to specify their own race, as in “GBM" or “GWF." The abbreviation “GM” or GF" is 3CC6ptabie) ■ We will not print the phrase “straight-acting/straight-appearing". If you mean you think that you're a “masculine" man or a “feminine" woman, then say so. If you mean that you're a closet case and you think "no one suspects,” then say so. If you mean that you're terrified of being “found out" then say so. If you mean that you wholeheartedly embrace the homophobic values of the dominant heterosexual culture, then say that m We will not print that you are “Hl\/Negative" or that you are seeking someone who is “HIVNegate. "The same applies to references such as “AIDS-free. "With an incubation period of fourteen years or more, no single negative test for HIV antibodies can be considered a “green light" for unsafe sexual behavior. Safe sex practices are a must for every sexually active person during this crisis. (Also: We do not recommend that you advertise your HIV-positive status, although we will print it if you wish. Experience has taught us that not everyone can be trusted with this information. We believe that a) everyone needs to follow safe sex guidelines, and b) if they do, HIV status is a private matter.) ■ If your ad is sexually specific, please be brief. State what you are looking for clearly and only once. Do not keep repeating your favorite fetishes over and over. This kind of writing isn't advertising, it's masturbation. In cases like this, we wi freely edit your copy down to the basic information. ■ We win delete any references to monetary or material compensation for sexual services rendered or received. We wi also delete any implication that sexual services are rendered “professionally" whether for compensation or not In cases where your ad is edited, no reimbursement wi be made to you (nor credit given) for the difference in cost The ad wi be tagged JAd has been edited] in the text of the ad. An ad which needs editing, but cannot be modified without changing the intent of the ad, wi be returned to you for rewriting, with our objections outlined. Ads directed at or from persons under the legal age of consent wi be refused JOBS WANTED/OFFEREU ADS: We publish “Jobs Wanted" and "Jobs Offered" classifieds free of charge for the first thirty words for the first insertion. (However, any verification fees must be paid.) In this category, state and federal laws prohibit stating a preference, limitation, specification or discrimination based on race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, non-job-related handicap or disability, place of birth or sexual orientation. Ads which contain any of these violations, which imply sexual relationships, which describe the physical attributes of the advertiser, or anythina more than a job opportunity must be placed in the personals section and the advertiser wi be Mted appropriately prior to printing. COMMERCIAL AOS: If you are a paid business or service, profit-making enterprise, or non-profit organization charging for jpur service, then you pay the following rate: S7.00 for the first thirty words, plus 20 cents for each additional word. Multiply your cost times the number of issues in which you wish your ad to appear. Subtract any applicable frequency discounts. Frequency discounts (commercial ads only): 10% for six issues; 15% for eleven issues; 20% for twenty-two issues. Frequency discounts are based on the ad running with no modifications per issue. Commercial ads may run any number of consecutive issues provided payment is received in advance. The ad must be submitted on letter-head stationery or accompanied by a business card to avoid verification fees. Otherwise, aH verification fees described below apply. Commercial classified advertising place in The Front Page are accepted on the premise that the merchandise or service offered is property described and wiingly sold to customers at the advertised prices.

In the following categories of non-commercial ads, there is a charge as listed below: GAY MEN, LESBIANS, BISEXUALS, ROOMMATES, MESSAGES and MISCELLANEOUS. The fees for a stogie insertion are as follows: 30 WORDS OR LESS: $2.00 31-00 WORDS: $4.00 61-90 WORDS: $6.00 91-120 WORDS: $8.00 121-150 WORDS: $10.00 In other words, personal ads cost $2.00 for each group of thirty words. Any word in the dictionary counts as one word. Most hyphenated words count as two words. Most abbreviations count as full, separate words. Telephone number and zip codes count as one word. "P.0. Box" counts as two words Punctuation is free. If you fail to specify the category in which you wish the ad to be placed, the ad wi be placed at our option in what we deem the most appropriate category. There are no frequency discounts lor personal ads. PRISONER PEN PAL AOS: As a public service, we will print free of charge, personal ads limited to 30 words, for prisoners in North Carolina, South Carolina, and southern Virginia. All prisoner pen pal entries must be verified by sending a letter to the advertiser which describes the population served by the publication and seeks permission to print the advertiser's name in our publication. The letter must be signed, dated, and returned to our office before we will print the ad. A» pnson pen pal advertisers receive a copy of the issue in which their ad appears. (Sorry, we do not have the budget to provide prisoners with free subscriptions.) VERIFICATION FEES: Before we print a telephone number, a street address, or a person's full name in any non-commercial ad, we must verify the information either through phone contact or written correspondence. The verification process must take place each time an order is placed. If your ad contains a telephone number, include $2. If your ad contains a street address, include $1. If your ad contains your fun name, include $1. You must pay an fees that apply to your ad. Verification fees apply for each ad placement order and must be re-paid each time an order is placed, whether the information given has been previously verified or not [Note. Ads containing information which must be verified should be submitted at least ten days in prior to the cut-off date for the issue in which they are to be printed.] Think carefully before you authorize publication of this information. PHONE VERIFICATION: We must can the number to appear in the ad, just as if we were responding to the ad, and speak personally with the advertiser. In some cases, we wN send a letter of verification after an unsuccessful attempt to contact you. For example, if we reach an answering machine which references your name or if someone other than the advertiser answers the phone and indicates that the advertiser is not available at that time, we wi send a letter to the advertiser (which must be signed, dated, and returned to our office before we wi print the ad). We wi not leave messages. Once we have verified your phone number physically, we do not verify it again unless your maing address changes. We must sti research the prior verification, so the verification fee is sti assessed. ADDRESS VERIFICATION: Any address which contains a street name (even if it contains a box number or is a mail service) must be verified. We must send a letter to the advertiser at the address which is to appear in the ad, just as if we were answering the ad. The advertiser must sign, date, and return the letter to our office before we w* print the ad. Once we have verified your address physically, we do not verify it again unless your mailing address changes. We must sti research the prior verification, so the verification fee is stM assessed NAME VERIFICATION: Any time a person's full name is referenced in a personal ad, we must verify the fact that the person wishes to have their name printed in the ad. Additionaly, we feel obligated to warn the person of the ramifications of such an action. Therefore, each time a hi name is to appear in an ad, we must send a letter to the advertiser, as if we were answering the ad, at the address listed in the ad. The advertiser must sign, date, and return the letter to our office before we wi print the ad. This verification must take place for each ad order. A prior authorization or verification is not acceptable. This process, as described above, may delay the appearance of your ad in the paper. While you may find this annoying, please remember it is for both your protection and ours. HOW TO FIGURE THE COST OF YOUR AD: „ Figure the charge for the words in your ad (count the words in the headline, also). This is the cost of the ad for one insertion. Multiply the single issue cost by the number of issues in which you wish the ad printed. Add to this amount each applicable verification fee. If you want forwarding service, add the fee for each insertion. This is the total cost of your ad. Be sure to enter this amount on the release form.

NO PHONE CALLS: Sorry, but we are unable to accept classifieds — or to answer questions about classifieds—over the phone.

YOUR ERRORS: If you fail to send enough money or if you fail to send the release form, we wiH not print your ad until we resolve these issues. We wi correspond with you by mail to correct these situations. To cover this correspondence, we assess a S1.00 error handling fee which you must pay before we win print the ad.
