'. M onday, April 23, 1984 Columbia Chronicle. Page 3 ~----Editorials~\ The art of nudity What might you ask, is the difference between nudity in art or photo display and nudity in Playboy? That is a troublesome question, yet an issue worthy of print. Several students have objected to the nude exhibit adorning the ninth floor cooridor leading to several of the Photography departments. It is not a substantial body, mind you, but nevertheless· a group whose inquiry should not be stilled by silence. One of the most enlightening prospects of Columbia's educational gifts isnt so much its alignment to acedemic regimentation, but instead the provocation of risk, or risk-taking. The core of liberal, urban education is acedemic and artistic freedom. The erosion of such would mean the dismantling of principles. Columbia's reputation was etched in large part by the ability of some to establish an educational center that encompassed communications and the arts. Columbia College is and should be a breeding ground to provide ~-----LETTER TO THE EDITOR~---1 the forum and access for students' works. Nudity in Playboy is done out of commercial zealousness and the exploitation of wf>men's bodies. The photos on the ninth floor are a celebration of the human body.
