...Sweat-Free Campus movement is taking its cue from Duke University, whose administration has already adopted a strict code of conduct, and from Brown, whose student government has passed a code now pending administrative approval. Several other universities across the country are considering similar proposals...
...interest among his Minimalist peers in sculptural materials set forth as they were: strips of rubber or felt on the floor, cinder blocks, polystyrene or slabs of rusty steel propped together. The paint Close applied was molecule-thin, spritzed on the painstakingly prepared gesso surface with an airbrush, in strict accordance with the grid to which Close enlarged the original photo. It suggested an obsessive involvement on the artist's part, but kept the viewer distant, with nothing sensuous to hook onto--unless you had a thing about freckles and wens.

Of course, this isn't a particularly frequent occupational hazard, but even at Harvard, people do hook up, (all too often right in front of their windows.) "Exposed flesh is just out. I'm not a pervert. It's more like an anthropological study." She mentions that...
