2A - Monday, April 6, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 4 2A - Monday, April 6, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom Pornographic movie banned at Maryland PIGS ON PARADE A pornographic movie screen- ing was cancelled at the University of Maryland at College Park last Thursday after the Maryland Leg- islature threatened to withhold funds from the university if the film was shown, the Diamondback reported. An amendment proposed by Sen. Andy Harris stated that fund- ing for Maryland colleges and uni- versities would be stopped if they showed XXX-rated films. "I don't believe in censorship," Maryland Senate President Mike Miller said in the article, "but at the same time, I don't think that film was appropriate in a state building on a state campus." Following the movie "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge," Planned Parenthood was scheduled to lead a discussion about safe sex prac- tices. "We thought it was an oppor- tunity to have a dialogue revolv- ing around pornography as a film genre and promote student dis- cussion," said Linda Clement, vice president for Student Affairs. To protest the administration's decision to pull the movie, stu- dents are organizing a screening of the film tonight.

The party on the riverfront, called the Big Dance Outdoor Watching Party, will occur again tonight for Spartan fans to watch the game in downtown Detroit.
