Playboy photographer's work is art-mediocre art

To the Editor: I have no affiliation with the College, aside from living here in Hanover, working at an organization which occupies Dartmouth-owned real estate and knowing some people who are affiliated with the College (including some of the individuals who have taken it upon themselves to protect Hanover from the scourge of nude photography.) Therefore, I have no reason to care if Dartmouth's reputation would be besmirched by having a few of its students disrobe for Playboy's cameras. I have been following the controversy in the pages of The Dartmouth for a variety of reasons, the most important of these being that this whole business is a nice break from our community's usual stuffiness.
