Pom Debate Exposes Mixed Opinions BY SUSAN HAZELDEAN STAFF WRITER Campus opinion remains divided on the issue of pornography and censorship in the wake of American Civil Liberties Union President Nadine Strossen’s speech at UNC against censorship on Feb. 19. Strossen claimed laws designed to pro tect women by outlawing pornography would undermine free speech rights. But some members of the campus com munity strongly favor tougher legislation. “If I had a choice I’d ban it altogether,” said Simon Kim, a freshman psychology major from Charlotte. “Pornography shouldn’t be condoned.” 1998 50u~ *s49 due in 30 days New Melt Bulbs!

Others supported Strossen’s stance against censoiship.“She had a lot of really good points, like the fact that the first people affected by censorship are femi nists. I wouldn’t support tougher laws.” said Carson Myrade, a sophomore from Charlotte. Indeed, many students expressed con cern about who would be affected by such legislation. “The white, Protestant males in Washington would probably let Pent house continue and jump all over gay and lesbian materials. It’s bound to be unfair,” Marks said. Confusion about what constitutes por nography still exists on campus. “They always say you know it when you see it. ACLU studies show that if you show a picture to a group of women, one third will find it disgusting, one third will find it degrading and one third will think it’s hot. It’s all about personal opinion,” Myrade said. Other students had a clearer definition. “Anything that outright shows nudity or anything like that (is pornographic). They should ban magazines and people who paint nude pictures of people, ” said junior Dwanda McAllister. “The Greeks thought nudity was okay, but Idon’tthinkaperson’s nude body is art.” Some students said they thought wide spread controls would be misguided. “I don’t feel that... anyone has established a working definition of pornography that would not be biased.
