Title
Article "Calendar Features WC, SBA Students"
Subject
Description
This article from the Collegian addresses the controversy surrounding the University of Richmond’s water polo club’s sale of calendars featuring photos of a different Westhampton and School of Business Administration student each month. Steven White, a member of the club, took the idea from a similar calendar at Clemson University, which featured several women in bikinis, which was "toned...down" for the UR version. Stephanie Bennett, Westhampton College dean finds the calendars inappropriate and finds little distinguishment from this fundraiser to other forms of objectification of women in advertising. A number of participants, including Amy Harvey, Michelle Preston, Leslie Jureit, and Carter Wilson, and Patti Nolan, and had voiced their opinion that this fundraiser is in good taste and they didn't mind the process of being selected based on their yearbook photos. The water polo team hopes to break even on this project and gain enough funds for travel and equipment. Jureit noted that she had heard some comments: "While men only tease her, some women have made mean remarks."
