Where There Is Nudity, Controversy Soon Follows

December 10, 2007 05:50 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

A George Washington University theater group has been butting heads with its cast and crew over a brief nude scene in its production of Hair, the GW Hatchet reports.

But in reality, what's worse? A handful of thespians shedding their clothes or 9,000 people running in their underwear at UCLA? Concerned about damage to university property and student safety, school officials in California are warning students to avoid high heels, flip-flops, and booze during its annual Undie Run, the Daily Bruin writes. The history of the event has been relatively peaceful (a broken sprinkler head, here and there), so we hope the school's new and improved Taser policy will be a nonissue.
