Advertisement Some, though, objected to the anatomically correct drawings of female and male nudes, where students could draw or point to areas where they liked to be touched, rubbed or kissed, the Boston Herald reports. Some displays went too far, especially since the fair was held where students were having lunch, according Philipp Tsipmanthe, head of the Tufts' Republicans Club. Judy Neufeld, organizer of the event, says there were some anatomically correct displays but they were out of direct sight of students. "This fair was done in an educational way and there were no blatant sexual acts," she says. STUDENTS USE PHONES TO CHEAT Students used to cheat on tests by writing answers on arms or sleeves or inside belt buckles, but now they are using cell phones that take pictures. Cell phones with built-in digital cameras and e-mail allow students to silently e-mail photos of questions and answers in class, the Contra Costa Times in San Francisco reports. According to surveys, more than 50 percent of U.S. high school students own a cell phone, and in California, the Legislature approved a law allowing students to carry cell phones in school.

WOMEN FUEL X-RATED DEMAND Experts say demand by women -- both heterosexual and lesbian -- is fueling the growth of sex-related adult entertainment. Women have long been involved in the sex industry as providers and consumers, but now they are entering management -- running Web sites, producing films -- and many feel is a legitimate place to make a living, the New York Times reports. Samantha Lewis, president of Digital Playground, a California company that produces pornographic films for women and couples, estimates women account for 40 percent of her company's retail sales. Surveys of Internet audiences by Nielsen/NetRatings, find women make up 25 percent of the visits to adult-content Web sites. VENDING MACHINES DISPENSE ECSTASY Russian police in St. Petersburg raided a nightclub and discovered a vending machine that sold ecstasy instead of soda. The Web site Vazhno.Ru reports police first thought it was a joke when the 20 people detained by the raid said they had gotten the ecstasy pills from a vending machine. They said a customer would pay about $10 to a dealer who pressed a special button on the machine to dispense the drug, Pravda reports. Advertisement
