CARBONDALE, Illinois — A debate scheduled by Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Student Programming Council for next week will discuss the topic of the multi-billion dollar U.S. pornography industry and the addictions some people have to it.

Ron Jeremy, a veteran pornographic film actor, will debate Craig Gross, founder of the XXX Church, a Web site devoted to telling the truth about porn and how it affects people’s lives.

The debate starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the SIUC Student Center Ballrooms. It is free and open to mature audiences.
