Maryland's public university system is poised to become the first in the country with a policy on student displays of pornographic films, a direct response to legislative demands made after a screening earlier this year of a XXX-rated film at the University of Maryland, College Park. Though work on the policy is continuing, it has stirred many of the same free-speech concerns that raged when the university briefly quashed student plans to screen the pornographic epic "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" in April.

Lawrence R. Seidman, a former partner in the Baltimore law firm of Hogan & Hartson LLP who was a respected and skilled negotiator in the field of corporate security law, died of brain cancer July 7 at Gilchrist Center for Hospice Care.

Born in Baltimore and raised on Fallstaff Road, the son of an attorney and a dental hygienist, Mr. Seidman was a 1982 graduate of the Gilman School.

Playing in the biggest game of the regular season Tuesday, second-ranked St. Mary's watched an early seven-goal lead against top-ranked Calvert Hall dwindle to one in the closing minutes. The stakes were high for each team because the winner earned a bye in the first round of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference playoffs. The Cardinals had possession with 50.7 seconds left, and Tony Rossi's bouncing shot 10 seconds later sent the game into overtime. St. Mary's defense forced a crucial stop to start the extra period that set up a goal by John Hogan with 2:39 left for a 12-11 victory.

John Hogan had just returned after 15 years helping the poor in a tiny Guatemalan village when he learned about a protest against the Vietnam War planned by a group of Catholic activists. Forty years ago last spring, Mr. Hogan and eight others seized hundreds of draft records from the Catonsville U.S. Selective Service office, doused them with homemade napalm in a parking lot and set them ablaze.

To maintain their lifestyle after a job loss, Ginny and Jim Kallioinen built a house of plastic cards. Now it's in danger of tumbling down. While they are paying their bills on time, their overall debt, including first and second mortgages, has reached scary proportions, consuming nearly 70 percent of their total gross pay. That includes some debt for which they are only paying the interest, not principal. Their story might ring true with a lot of other indebted couples. To fight inflation, the Federal Reserve has boosted short-term interest rates in recent years, and that raised rates on credit cards, home equity loans and adjustable home loans - squeezing people such as the Kallioinens, who live outside Orlando, Fla. "We want to retire someday," Ginny, 55, wrote in requesting a Money Makeover.
