Colby Staff Writer Now in its seventh year of com¬ munity-wide broadcast, CSUFs student* run radio station KFSR 90.7 aired its first live talk show last Monday. "Radio Free Fresno", hosted by Bill Pierce, a.CSUF student, airs Monday evenings following the blues show. Pierce discusses a current event and then opens up the lines to listeners. Unlike many of the commercial radio stations in Fresno, KFSR does not have a delay system to stop "the seven dirty words" from being broadcast over the airwaves. In a live radio talk show situation, the delay system allows the show's host a few seconds to cut off a foul-mouthed caller in order to avoid offending other listeners. The fact that KFSR lacks such a system poses a potential problem as it embarks on its second week of "Radio Free Fresno." In 1987, the Federal Communications Commission began to tighten up on its in¬ decency regulations as it issued alerts to all According to CSUF telecommunications professor Jim Wilson, the only major Fine resulting from the tougher FCC posture was given to a television station for show¬ ing frontal nudity during "family view¬ ing" time. At this point, no station has lost its license over any such flaps. Thus far, there is no exact FCC def¬ inition of what is considered obscene or even what is considered an acceptable period to say certain words or show cer¬ tain parts of ihe human body. "No guidelines have been estab¬ lished," said Wilson, referring to the confusion among broadcasters concern¬ ing FCC indecency regulations. To add to the confusion, the U.S. Congress recently passed a budget bill with a provision which disallowed any "safe period" whatsoever for ihe broad¬ cast of indecent material. Because federal courts are now questioning the constitutionality of such a measure, broadcasters have been left to their own interpretations of indecency regulations. "It's in a state of flux," Wilson said of ihe measure. Wilson, general manager and faculty adviser for KFSR, said he did not feel the "seven dirty words" were a major concern at the campus stauon because the FCC regulations were designed lo control indecent programming more than accidental broadcast of expletives.

John Tower's rejection was political from the word go, rising out

Defense Secretary post for personal reasons mat previously were
