SUPER=03-Charleston, SC/File Tape

The school dropped its all-male policy a year ago after the U-S Supreme Court ruled a similar policy at Virginia Military Institute was unconstitutional. The lawyers who challenged the Citadel's admissions policy want close to seven million dollars. But the school charges the attorneys' fees are way over the top, with rates of up to 450 dollars an hour. In addition, the school says the women's attorneys shouldn't get anything because they didn't really win anything.

The Justice Department is investigating how Internet addresses are assigned. The issue is whether a northern Virginia company's almost complete control of the process violates anti-trust laws. Network Solutions of Herndon assigns the Internet's most widely used addresses that end in such terms as "dot-com" and "dot-org." Critics say the 100-dollar registration fee is too high and that Network Solutions has an unfair monopoly. The probe was revealed in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Network Solutions is planning a public stock offering.
