] BENNINGTON, Vermont (Reuters) -- Students occasionally ] parading buck naked around Vermont's Bennington College ] campus has been a tolerated, if peculiar, part of the ] university's student culture here since the 1960s. ] ] Now Robert Graves, hired this year as Bennington's dean ] of students, has embarked on a crusade against public ] nudity -- one that has run afoul of the school's ] free-spirited students. ] ] Students have long enjoyed an informal policy allowing ] them to go naked on campus. Whether it was as a topless ] sunbather lounging on the lawn or students running naked ] at an annual bonfire party, college officials turned a ] blind eye. You won't see such a policy in a school full of engineering and CS majors, I can tell you that much. ...unless, of course, the ratio considerably improved. ;-) -janelane |
