COLLEGE SPEECH LAWSUIT
RICHMOND — Christian Parks, a student at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton, isn't the first college student to challenge policies restricting speech on campus -- and he's finding success. Parks is an evangelical Christian who was preaching on campus when school authorities forced him to stop, citing a policy of limiting "demonstrations" to recognized college organizations, requirements to file a form in triplicate four days in advance and rules saying events must be contained within precise, preset boundaries. His case has garnered support from Christian organizations and the ACLU. Last week, the community college system signaled it was planning to back away from its "free speech zones," By Larry O'Dell.

FIRE MUSEUM
LYNCHBURG — From the outside, the drafty warehouse doesn't look like a museum, but when the firefighters roll back the door, the light is reflected in glinting chrome, warm brass and deep red paint. By Steve Hardy, The News & Advance. SENT: 760 words. With AP Photo.
RUNNING WITHOUT PAYING
RICHMOND— Thom Suddeth, a former law enforcement officer, knows illicit behavior when he sees it. And he sees it each spring when dozens of unregistered runners attempt to participate on the sly in the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K. By Vic Dorr Jr., Richmond Times-Dispatch. SENT: 850 words. With AP Photo.
