Lest you think campus skin mags funded with student activity fees ALL get carte blanche, the New York Times reports, Vita Excolatur, the new title at University of Chicago, has some very definite boundaires imposed by school officials.

Vita, which runs mainly on student activity fees (about $6,000 a year), can show full-frontal nudity but not an erection or intercourse, according to an agreement with the administration. Its pages are reviewed three times by administrators before publication, and student-models must sign releases before they shed their clothes and again on seeing the photos, when many balk. Squirm and H Bomb have also received money from their student governments, but their respective institutions, Vassar and Harvard, take a hands-off approach.

Nice to know artistic freedom is safe in the Ivy league. Coming soon: an inter-disciplinary major in online erotic publishing, from content straight through to revenue optimization, and franchising.
