<p>Do any of you current students subscribe to or read the Vita Excolatur? How does the student population feel about it? </p>

<p>Vita</a> Excolatur</p>

<p>A NYTimes article about it:
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/23/education/edlife/MAGAZINES.html?_r=1&oref=slogin%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/23/education/edlife/MAGAZINES.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>they got themselves a new subscriber =D</p>

<p>It hasn't been updated since Sept. '06?</p>

<p>The blog hasn't been updated, but the magazine comes out every year.</p>

<p>I myself haven't read it (or maybe seen it is the more appropriate phrase), but it's a pretty big deal. I'm just totally not into seeing a nudie pic of a random kid in my sosc class, thanks very much.</p>

I'm sure they have journalistic standards.</p>

<p>I think unalove's issue is a common one. My kid reported being mildly creeped out by having too much information about people who were around all the time. As I understand it, all of the pictures were of students and their friends -- that was part of the point of the magazine -- so that, yes, there was a definite possibility that a random kid in your ___ class had his butt, etc., on display.</p>

<p>Vita, like all Chicago ECs, is somewhat at the mercy of who happens to care about it at any particular point. It was founded by very energetic, organized students who had lots of follow-through and knew how to get things done. They have long since graduated, and it is now apparently in the hands of people whose organizational abilities are not at the same level. So it may or may not be an actual, vibrant publication.</p>

<p>I saw them tabling outside of Hutch Commons, and I thought "hm, Vita" before moving on.</p>

<p>Maybe their yield rate would go up if they sent these instead of the Chicago Chronicle</p>

Neither is The Chicago Chronicle</p>

<p>Or you don't have a sense of humor?</p>

13

<p>I have a follow-up question: How widely circulated is the Shady Dealer?</p>

14

<p>It's widely available at publications hotspots like Bartlett, Cobb, and Reynolds Club. How many copies they produce? No idea.</p>

15

<p>I thought it was only artistic shots with maybe a flash or two of nipple, but they'll do (sorta) hardcore spreads, even a money shot. </p>

<p>However artistic (read: boring) pictures make up the bulk of it. And bad poetry. And they still haven't done the shot I proposed, with a guy wearing the "Where the only thing that goes down on you is your GPA" shirt and the girl... you know.</p>

Good idea.</p>

<p>My problem with these magazines (Vita, H-bomb, Sex Week) is the utter triteness --I mean, how many times can you run a "profound" article on female ejaculation?</p>

<p>well, after seeing a number of students in my various classes running naked through the quads during the polar bear run... i think i could handle this magazine. i'll check it out when it comes out this year, maybe.</p>
