The Daily Collegian: PSU students disrobe in sweatshop protest
As Ben Brewer expressed his disapproval of Penn State’s link to sweatshops, his jockstrap was just as effective as the protest signs and rally chants.
With only a set of pom-poms tucked inside the front of his jockstrap, Brewer (junior-philosophy) demonstrated alongside 20 other students yesterday, most of them also minimally dressed.
“The theme is ‘nothing to wear’ — mostly because we would really like to wear Penn State clothing, but we are not given that option by administrators,” Theresa Haas (senior-biology) said as she held a well-placed rally poster over her Saran-wrapped chest. “It may seem very radical and extreme, but conditions in sweatshops are extreme, too.”
