Long-haired student protesters aimed with placards, angry speakers - shouting into megaphones, policeman standing by anxiously. Thirty years later, the scene is familiar but different. The protest song has changed to "What's Going On?" by Four Non- Blondes, and in this 19905-style protest, students are rallying for pure love, not free love. On Feb. 13, about 50 students from Chicago-area colleges marched outside Playboy Enterprises, chanting and carrying neon-colored signs that read: "Not Born for Porn," "Stop Selling Cheap Sex," and "Do Your Homework, Not Yourself." The "Valentine's Day Rally" was sponsored by the new Pure Love Alliance, a national coalition of student groups and social organizations that promotes abstinence on college campuses. In part, students were protesting a recent Playboy magazine cover that shows a woman in a typical Catholic school uniform undressing. But a larger catalyst for the rally was the group's effort to ban Playboy products from college campuses. The day before, the group led a protest at nearby University of Illinois at Chicago, where Playboy magazines and videos are sold at the campus bookstore, and past issues are available in the library's reserve MUSIC NOON THE LOGAN WINTERGARDEN SERIES News section "Basically we were protesting pornography and promoting family values," said Kevin Brugman, a UIC senior and a member of the Pure Love Alliance. "Pornography is like cheap sex. It's really undermining the values of commitment, loyalty; the values of family relationships." He recently encouraged some of UlC's 20,000 students to sign a petition demanding the removal of Playboy from campus. At issue is the fact that the state-funded school, and others like it, stock the magazine not just in the campus bookstore but in the library, say protesters. "Tax-payers money is being used to provide pornography to young adults free of cost," he said. Kittel plans to meet with school officials to discuss the magazine's removal. "We're not going to close down Playboy," he said. "But I think we can get pornography off the campus. We raised a pretty big ruckus on a small campus." Not big enough, apparently. UIC spokesperson John Camper said the school has no immediate plans to remove the magazine from its shelves. "We don't consider Playboy to be particularly pornographic," he said.
