oh, the joys of reading about your conservative, baptist, tight-lipped alma mater in the newspaper. today, i learned that the college directory has a pornographic cover on it. with a little effort, i was able to find the original, unblurred photo that the designer used from the internet. what is so stupid is that it's incredibly obvious what's in the photo -- how much blurring did he think would cover this? now, according to the latest reports, he may be kicked out of school for this. way to go -- on his senior year. my favorite quote that keeps appearing: "they won't let us have MTV, but we've got pornography on the directory." go samford.

i completely understand how something like this could get by the administration and advisors. i worked with several campus publications, including this one involved in the scandal, and we rarely ever saw our advisor. easily something could get sent to the printers via a student, signed off by a student editor and distributed by the student staff.
