Students Swipe Campus Newspapers Over Bared Bellies

Two students at Framingham State College have admitted to helping steal several dozen copies of the campus’s student newspaper, The Gatepost, after it ran a photograph of them and five other women at a recent lacrosse game with their stomachs bare. Today’s Boston Globe reported that the students at the Massachusetts college had bared their midriffs and painted letters on them in order to spell out the name of a player.

They later had second thoughts when The Gatepost put the photo (above) on its front page. Worst of all, according to the Associated Press, some of the students thought the photo had made them look fat. The two students could face campus discipline, and the newspaper’s editor wants $600 restitution for the stolen copies. —Andrew Mytelka
