Bathing Beauty

Well, I can’t date this one by his outfit. I’m still guessing ’70s just based on the hair.

    I think there were similar photos in the ’69 Campanile. Not sure they used this one (without looking), but I recall other sunbathing photos.

    I looked through the 1969 Campanile, and found only one sunbathing photo — different from the one Melissa posted — which I’ve copied to here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/95471541@N00/14777594668/in/photostream/lightbox/.

    That edition gained national notoriety for its nude photos (one very small) of two of the Outstanding Seniors (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1817&dat=19691001&id=JxwfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CpwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7390,27580). But its large photos (nearly all black-and-white) still resonate (with me, at least) as a artistically innovative and powerful view of the year, if not a literal documentation. Co-editors Conrad Boeck and Gary Grether devoted 16 full pages to the Masterson Crisis, for example. What a delight to thumb through it again.
