Sorry it took me so long to respond to this...I took some time to think about it, then I sort of forgot about it.
I personally wouldn't have any problems with the pictorials you described. I'd actually be surprised if a school like Vassar might not actually have such a magazine (campus nudist club or nude photography club or something). I know that a friend of mine appeared in a school-sponsored play there in the full nude. As far as the nazi paper, I could certainly understand Jewish students and their families not liking school funding going to such a publication. As to whether or not I think that school funding should be given to such a group, that's another matter. I certainly don't think that everyone should like everything that's published, and it would probably depend on the actual content of the publication. I'd also be surprised if there wasn't a student chapter of the World Church of the Creator (unless they've been deemed a terrorist/subversion organization - not bush bashing, that Matthew Hale guy did try to assassinate a federal judge, I believe) that was a RSO somewhere. I would think that as long as they didn't call for mass executions of all blacks, latinos, etc. that they could talk about white supremacy and aryan pride all they wanted to. That's a separate issue from whether I personally think it's material worthy of printing. I know that different people are going to have problems with the content of various groups' viewpoints, but unless it directly threatens the student body or the academic mission of the university, I tend to say more exposure is better. These kids are supposed to be learning how to be adults...might as well that a part of being an adult is learning to filter out crap.
