In addition to that sentence for Penelope Hatteras of Sugar Land, U.S. District Judge John Singleton also ordered probation for two of her associates. Singleton said he believed the sen tence was appropriate because Hat teras’ past was “relatively free of prior problems.” Hatteras declined to comment on the sentence. She was convicted by a federal court jury Aug. 9 on 21 counts of conspiracy, using interstate facilities to promote prostitution and violat ing federal “white slavery” laws bar ring the interstate transportation of prostitutes.

While the CLU supports freedom of speech, it does not endorse the separate opinions expressed by any individual. Its purpose is not to take sides with any organization, but to ensure that they have the opportu nity to voice their ideas and points of view. Brian Sterling, a CLU chairman, said that the MSC Open House held at the beginning of the semester pro vided a perfect opportunity to begin gathering groups to participate in the speakers’ forum. Various groups represented at the Open House were approached and offered the opportunity to communicate their messages to a mass audience. Thursday’s forum was composed of groups that the CLU believes rep resent more liberal points of view. Five groups participated in the fo rum. One of tne organizations rep resented was Students Against Apartheid. Sam Aletan, vice presi dent of the organization, called apartheid undemocratic. “All America’s rights belong to none of the blacks in South Africa,”. Aletan said. Amnesty International, another group represented Thursday af ternoon, favors the release of people imprisoned for political, social or re ligious reasons. The group also op poses the use of torture and the death penalty. The members of Green Peace, which opposes the use of nuclear power in any way, shape or form, communicated their message uniquely by performing a skit titled “The Wheel of Misfortune.” The moral of the story was that the only way to win the nuclear game is not to play at all. The National Organization for Women is well known for its support of women’s rights. However, the group did not make a point of stat ing its specific opinions. Because NOW is trying to build up its mem bership at the moment, it did not want to set up any biases, the group said. Gay Student Services was rep resented by President Marco Rob erts. He addressed the issue of AIDS and recapped the general goals of the GSS. At the next forum, the CLU hopes to give more conservative groups a chance to speak. If your or ganization is interested in this op portunity to express its views, con-, tact Brian Sterling of the CLU. •Sfe Tsmsamaemst i m 8 “HOME OF FINE ITALIAN CUISINE’’ NIGHTLY SPECIALS Sunday- — all you can eat spaghetti only ($4.75) Monday — lasagna dinner only ($4.50) Tuesday — veal parmigiana only ($6.25) ;■ X : ' ■;■■■ I; © . ■ ■■ all dinners include salad, tea, & bread 404 University 696-7311 IT’S BACK!
