About 2,000 copies of Share Magazine were distributed on campus in early February. The cover shows a double image of a woman with her tongue extended, which artistically appears to be two women kissing with a tiny figure of a man dancing on the tongues. Inside was a photograph of two naked men, one with exposed genii tals, and a poem called "Uncle Bill" that described an act of child molestation, in addition to other examples of student art and writing such as photos of nature and a short story about a cockroach contemplating sui( cide. 1 Student editors, faculty advisers and administrators held advance discus sions about the ramifications of publishing the nude photographs, but adl~l ministrators said they stayed out of w 1 tViA finol Af?r>\f aIIpop nffiriolc * ? iiiv niiai uvviaivti. vivuv^v vAAiviHiu "never considered stopping publicaf?r" tion" of Share, said Paul Benson, vice tate president for student affairs, sity "We just wanted to give the students the best publication for the and money," said Mark Gordon, editor of ncja Share and a senior majoring in graphom, ics communication.

Sean Jerguson, a senior biology major, took a different point of vievf, "I fully support First Amendment rights, and I prefer to live in a society where we can express our opinions freely in writing and in art," he said. "We need to consider the society and 0 community in which we live...Some of the content in Share is inappropriate on this campus." '. Some said they were upset that student activities fees were used to publish the magazine.

One wag contended that students were only too eager to be offended. "As far as harming the delicate sensibilities of impressionable youth, I'm guessing that any child who would have tried to get a copy would have been stomped into the ground by the rush of pornography-starved college students looking for a cheap thrill," wrote Marty Dye, a Sentinel colum nist. The controversy has had one gooc effect, though. "I think we did the next editors a fit vor by pushing things with this issu^ of Share," said David Wishart, literary, editor of the magazine.
