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.
