Friday. April ll, I969 SCARLET AND BLACK Bodies Are Beautiful in Bethesda too! ' Evidently, the effects of Grin< nell’s nude protest against Playboy last Feb. 6 have seep- ed beyond the limits of our sell- lmposed exile. The participants in a Liberal Religious Youth conterence at 3 Bethesda, Maryland, Unitarian c h u r c h last month held an “impassion- ed burn-in” of Playboy center- lolds, Carlos C. Van Leer, J11. who led the discussion which resulted in the spontaneous immolalion, said, “Activists must trankly acknowledge our debt to 8 young Grmnell stu- dents. A pat on the back to the eight —— we hope it makes them t'eel zt little better as they run the lowa judicial gauntlet” Van Leer also commented, “Women feel they're supposed to compete with the monster breasts in Playboy and it makes them feel totally inter- ior." Apparently, two female part 'pants agreed whole- heartedly, and proceeded to add two padded bras to the conilagration in what was termed a “back - to r nature” movement. Rev. William R. Moors, Assn- ciate Minister of the Unitarian Church in Bethesda, and also present at the “burnin,” wrote l. Milking out your laundry List? Writing ii poem. 3. That's Browning.

The following is an excerpt from that letter: “Far more serious than any sit-called ‘pornography’ I have seen, is the immorality oi mis— representation. Young people have enough to resolve in real. ity without having to contend with — and releam from — fantasy worlds. I have been in this business long enough to know that many men marry with a pinup concept of sex and are at a loss when it comes to relating to a real body — a body that loves rather than se- duces, a body that sweats, emits, has odors; a body with pubic hair, pimples, a nd breasts that sag. I like human bodies and I believe that all people should learn [0 love the human body as well as the human soul. There may be live models lor your pictures, but it's hard to believe 7 hopelolly, no young man believes it. They are all white teeth and polish. I! is difficult to believe they have either alimentary canals or vaginas. “when you have the oppop tunily, why don’t you read Whit- man again and give us some real women with a dab of hu< manin and axillary hair. The human form is divine, let's not alter or misrepresent it." Don’t you just love Unitarian ministers? Somehow they al- ways seem so human, Page Fifteen Two Receive Wei-son Grani Two Grinnell seniors were among 50 small—college students awarded Thomas J.
