An Inclusive Litany

5/20/96

Playboy, May 1996:
The students at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio have taken matters into their own hands. The university finally recognized the Miami U. Masturbation Society—by permitting the coed group to use university facilities for its meetings. Whether student activity funds—those most-easy-to-come-by dollars—will be forthcoming is unclear. Jason Pfaff, executive supreme dictator of the society, says he's planning a mixer.... "It's the only social where you don't need a date."
[Ed.: According to its constitution, MUMS hopes to promote "the safest sex possible," as well as to "challenge social prejudice" and stereotypes, and "to strive toward manual dexterity" and "hand-eye coordination." The group is, in fact, a joke, making fun of the sort of frivolous student groups who receive general college funds. During the 1980s, editors of the Dartmouth Review infamously got their student government to approve a group dedicated to bestiality.]
