But though the original decision to ban the movie was ftinciaEft not workable, it was not altogether unjustified, either. Dr. Stebbings is a man of convictions, and it seems that one of them is that pornography is a vice, not something to be encouraged and certainly not something anyone would want linked to the Rice name. There is nothing wrong in this opinion, with which many other administrators agree. Even the staunchest libertarians among us will (or should) agree that it would be unfortunate for Rice to become a mecca for porn film aficionados. Stebbings erred, not in opposing the showing of Insatiable, but in expressing his opposition by cancelling the movie. While the suppression of pornography may be considered by many an admirable public goal, what kind of movies we decide to allow on campus is still not as important as that we all contribute to the decision.
