Curmudgeon's Corner has taken a few weeks off from covering the issue of
Carnegie Mellon's policy with regard to netnews newsgroups with sexually
explicit content.  With this week's program we will be revisiting the
topic and the developments in the weeks since the rally in front of
Warner Hall.

Tune in - Friday December 9, 5 PM, WRCT 88.3 FM

Among relevant developments:

* The representative groups for students, faculty and staff have all
voted on resolutions asking the administration to reverse its policy
* The committee formed to make recomendations on this issue to Carnegie
Mellon President Robert Mehrabian has met several times
* Some members of the committee have complained about its structure and
rules, particularly those limiting outside discussion of the committee's
discussions

All of the members and ex-officio members of the Bulletin Board
Committee as well as others known to be active on the issue were invited
to attend tommorrow's Curmudgeon's Corner in the studio so as to attempt
to provide a balanced and well represented view of the situation.  Many
committee members have chosen to decline or not respond to the
invitation.

Confirmed guests are:

Declan McCullagh - Student Body President of Carnegie Mellon
Bridgette Landers - Student Senator for the School of Computer Science

Erwin Steinberg, chair of the Bulletin Board Committee, declined the
invitation, but provided a statement to be read explaining his decision
not to appear.

During the program listeners are welcome to add their viewpoints and
ideas by calling 621-WRCT or 268-2883.

We look forward to your participation
