Insanity on college campuses?

According to this report:  "If all goes as planned tonight, hundreds of students at the University of California, Davis, will watch a $10 million pornographic movie in a chemistry lecture hall, the periodic table of elements hanging above their heads."

Meanwhile, the University of Maryland was planning on screening the same XXX movie.  "We thought this would be something fun for the students to do, especially since we're getting close to the end of the semester," said Lisa Cunningham, program coordinator for the Hoff Theater, which is showing the film. "We're a college movie theater and we thought it would bring out the students." (Baltimore Sun article).  In an update, the Sun reports that the Maryland screening was canceled "after state lawmakers objected and threatened to cut funding to the flagship state university."
