Abstract:
Phone sex is a growing as a cultural phenomenon and the increase in ads for phone sex in The Independent Weekly has some readers and staff concerned. The periodical has continued to run the ads due to the money from the advertisements which go towards reporting and writing the paper, an increased use of 900 calls in the Raleigh-Durham area, and their anti-censorship stance. The Independent is cautious and does monitor the content of the ad and is aware of the decreased readership that may happen if they run too many ads or allow explicit ads to be printed.

Abstract:
The Orange County’s Women’s Center is praised for its work serving the women of Orange County, but that hasn’t protected it from conflict. The Center is currently divided over The Women’s Book Exchange and 5 board members have resigned as a result. The board voted to rescind the merger agreement between the Center and the Book Exchange after a dispute over the control of the lending library caused by lesbian oriented books. Intended to serve all women, some question whether the Center does so after what they feel is sexual discrimination.
