Private Malone College pulls student paper for nude photos

By Associated Press

CANTON: Malone College pulled an issue of the campus newspaper that featured a blurred photograph of four naked students in a dormitory hallway.

The Aviso newspaper violates a school ban on any publication with nudity or even the suggestion of it, said Chris Abrams, Malone's vice president for student development at the Christian College.

This week's edition of the paper featured a black-and-white picture of four men posing naked in an all-male dorm's hallway. The newspaper blurred the men's faces and genitals for the photo, which was published on page 11.

After papers were pulled from newsracks, the school issued a policy requiring all students to wear at least shorts in the dorms' public areas.

Student editor Ruth Lang said the weekly paper's work is being censored. She said she hopes the edition can be published again.

The picture's caption says male students living on one floor of the dorm visited another floor while nude in January and dorm officials told them it was inappropriate. Lang said the photo was posed, and she didn't know if the men in the picture are the same ones who made naked visits to their neighbors.

Malone College is a private school, pays for the publication and can legally limit its content, Abrams said.
