Porn at Holy Cross?

Movie rentals are coming soon to a store near you, and that store is as close as Hogan 2 Room 234. No longer will you have absolutely nothing to do on Friday night. As you read this, your Student Government Association is stocking and installing the new movie rental store.
Holy Cross students will soon be able to rent from a wide-ranging collection of 500-plus movies. For the nominal fee of $2 a night or $3 for two nights, students can go to their very own "Blockbuster" on campus, Monday through Saturday evenings from 5pm until 10pm.
The movie selection will be "eclectic and entertaining, yet interesting and classic, with weekly updates of the latest releases," Director of SGA Services Joe Campbell '04 excitedly assured. Students need not fear a hodgepodge movie store with a random or obsolete collection.
Some are hoping the store carries porn. Much to the reassurance of the faculty and administration, however, the store will not be renting nudie flicks.
With an emphasis on DVDs and new selections, the initial collection includes comedies such as Zoolander, Austin Powers, Animal House, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Office Space; foreign films such as Y Tu Mama TambiÈn, and new releases such as Brown Sugar, Undercover Brother, Basic, and Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers. And for those who cannot decide between Legally Blonde, Chicago, Old School, or a Beautiful Mind, choose a classic, like Casablanca.
With the electronic scanning equipment, newly mounted movie racks, and orders for freshly popped popcorn, the movie store rental launch is less than a week away. The store is located on the second floor of Hogan down the hall from the SPLD office. Students can expect to walk into the store and select from 450-plus DVDs and around 50 VHS's.
Students who do not remember the fine points of last spring's SGA election will be pleasantly surprised that Nicole Mortorano '04 and Kevin Gallaghar '05, the 2003-2004 student government elected Co-Chairs, have kept their promise. The project began last year under Joe Campbell's capacity as Director of SGA Services. Now almost complete, the SGA Services team of Joe Campbell '04, Roberto Isch '06, and Sarah Liang '05, has collaborated to bring this project to fruition.
