United Press International HOUSTON — Hustler Maga zine Inc. has indicated that it will appeal a federal court ruling granting $150,000 in damages to a housewife whose nude photograph appeared in the magazine without her permis sion. U.S. District Judge Robert O’Conor ruled that Hustler acted “with reckless disregard for the offensiveness of the material” when it published the photoof La Juan Wood, 27, in its February 1982 issue. O’Conor ordered the maga zine to pay $ 150,000 in damages to Mrs. Wood, of Austin. Her husband, Billy Wood, an in structor at the University of Texas, was awarded $25,000 in damages. At the time of the inci dent, the couple was living in Bryan, where he taught at Texas A&M University. David Kahn, general counsel for Hustler, said the publication will appeal the judge’s ruling. During a trial in January the couple testified tluy the nude photograph was taken by Mr. Wood during a camping trip and was hidden in a desk draw er. Testimony revealed the photo was taken by a neighbor, who sent it to the magazine. The neighbor’s wife pre tended to be Mrs. Wood when Hustler called to verify the pic- ) lure, testimony revealed. O’Conor ruled that the photograph was intended to he kept private.. -sL- vL* •A" •‘A" •sL* 'X' *X* *X* *X* *X* *T'* •T* •T* "T* ‘"T* • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Snow Ski Apparel Ski Rentals Bib and Ski Jacket $ 25 for a week rental ($5.00 Cleaning Fee) Reserve yours early k‘or Spring Ifireak.
