LUCC Approves L.A.P.S.

Tuesday, the LUCC finance committee approved funding for an addition to the arts experience here at Lawrence University. The Lawrence Adults Pornography Series (L.A.P.S.) will begin bearing all next year. Headed by freshman Alaric Rocha, L.A.P.S. will expose the campus to this genre often overlooked in our country’s institutions of higher learning. Rocha comments on his inexperience in running a film series. "I am a bit nervous about this, as it is my first...film series." Other members of the Lawrence community are enthusiastic about these up and coming events. LUCC Vice President Mike Rogosheske comments about"" the coming of this new series. "The Lawrence community yearns for a complete exposure to the arts. L.A.P.S. adds more lubrication to the great arts machine which we are."

The series will focus on the widespread genre of adult film. According to Rocha, the series begins with early films such as "Deep Throat," "Debbie Does Dallas," and "Penitentiary III." Contemporary adult pieces will also be shown. "A League of Their Moan," "Good Will Humping," and "Shaving Ryan’s Privates" are among the modern masterpieces to be shown. "I am particularly looking forward to "Plump Friction." There are many stirring scenes in it," Rocha says.

L.A.P.S. will burst onto the Lawrence campus at the onset of the 1999-2000 academic year. All shows will be held in the auditorium of Wriston, with intermissions every ten minutes or so. Admission will be $2 for Lawrentians, and free with a fraternity pin.
