From www.momlogic.com- It’s true, “The New Devil in Miss Jones” is hard-core pornography. But several hundred students expected to settle into soft green seats in a Carnegie Mellon University auditorium April 26 are a different kind of audience, likely to snack on popcorn, laugh and applaud as they witness a controversial expression of modern culture.
That, at least, is what the head of the student-run activities board remembers from previous times his group sponsored a once-a-semester pornographic movie as part of a wide-ranging film series.
“It’s kind of an absurd environment. Some people dress up in costume,” said Tomasz Skowronski, a Carnegie Mellon senior and acting president of the activities board. “It’s not serious. People are very lighthearted about this.”
On other campuses, though, plans for similar screenings this spring have sparked debate between those who say the movies are unfit for a college audience and others who say campus beliefs about free speech require that even something like porn be allowed to be shown.
