Wesleyan Exposed In Courant Article

One of my first interactions with Wesleyan University in moving to town eight years ago was being awakened at about 2 a.m. with the noise from a party in what was then the Art House dormitory on High Street.

Groggily, I looked out the window and saw dozens of naked students running across a frozen lawn, and dozens more dancing wildly, framed in the picture window of the large old house.

This morning, the Hartford Courant features an article, featuring a photo of an undraped ungergrad, about Unlocked, the student-produced erotic art magazine.

Not exactly shocking at a university where students have never been afraid to confront issues of sexuality and gender.

But in the interest of better town-gown relations, perhaps for the next issue, Unlocked should extend invitations to pose to the community. Maybe a spread on the Common Council? Then again.

  1. I don't know, Ed, but I really do not want to see any of the common council members dancing naked in front of any window

  2. Perhaps this is why the mayor wants to do away with the broadcast of the council meetings. A naked grab for power indeed.
