Gibson, No. 98-5385, the student media censorship case out of Kentucky State University, have been scheduled for Thursday, March 18, 1999, in the Potter Stewart United States Courtroom in Cincinnati, Ohio. Arguments are scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. Each side will have at least 15 minutes to present their case.
