SPB did not know this weekend was Opcn House an d they based their decision on the ability to make money and provide a successful program. When the admis sions office found out, they did not want the parents of prospective students to discover Bryant College would play a movie like "9 112 Weeks." We understand the need to put the best foot forward for Open House, and portray the "right" image, but SPB or any other organization should not be asked to compromise their programming for this purpose. After all, SPB has run movies such as "Basic Instinct" in the past. Why try to make the campus look like something it is not? Does the admissions office really think a parent would decide not to send their child to Bryant because of a movie? When parents leave their children at school, they must trust them to make sound decisions based on their values, upbring ings, and morals. Censorship not only ignores the free will of individuals to make their own decisions, but also deprives them of the opportunity to de so. Individuals can choose what they want to wa tch, read and hear. Students are not req uired to auend an SPB movie. and they are not requi red (0 stay. Colleges and universities are supposed (0 foster openness and free thinking. The call to remove advertisements goes against a college's mission to promote awareness. It seems the admissions office wants to mask reality on campus and ponrdY the campus as somelhing that it is not. In the process of making a sale, they are sellLng both parents and studcnls short.
