If I wanted the latest on the strip club scene, tips about the trendiest condoms or a porno review, I would have first looked in a seedy corner store. Now, I know to reach for a copy of The Pitt News. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ When a porn star’s biography takes precedence over campus news, the disconnect between the publication and its purpose as a newspaper is complete and indisputable. Tell me, how many people showed up for the job fair on Thursday? How about Richard Sobol’s ‘Jews in Uganda’ presentation? What about CWO’s rendition of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ that opened Thursday night? Too tame to print? James Lomuscio Arts and Sciences, 2011
