Thanks.
Sailors and Bill O'Reilly and a personal story segment tonight as you may know there are a series of books about bondage -- and stuff.
That is selling -- all of the war.
Well apparently some students at Harvard -- so impressed by that scenario they formed a club called Harvard College much.
Which is devoted to shall we say alternative.
Recreation.
According.
Joining us now from Boston -- Samuels senior at Harvard president school newspaper the crimson.
And Luciano -- or junior president of the -- -- society socially conservative group I just -- -- begin with you.
Do you think this group is gonna actually get sanctioned by Harvard and then have access to student funding.
I think that the university will provide their meats are says -- -- for -- group because.
The university.
Has supported -- liar actions in the past they've.
Funded the sex week last fall and that spring and I think it's and it's really sad that.
The standards for recognizing -- groups.
-- somewhat questionable I mean we've seen when he -- but he didn't recognize ROTC because it.
-- pop pop RTC has discriminate right.
And recently recognized after their repeal of don't ask don't count so I and I'm very curious to see.
What -- -- share.
I don't you think that the university might sanction is true and you know we talked to ms.
Laura we talk to a -- What are your -- -- -- professors -- they're not it's because -- I did attend Harvard -- -- what this is very healthy it's an expression there's an expression on their sexuality on a personal level a very healthy you know when the Monica -- And so we can't discriminate against the S and and people.
And somebody's gotta buy their handcuffs and also why not the university.
And you know that's that's -- point of view.
Well I disagree that it's healthy and I know and but but that's.
Where the university is no judgments about behavior this is what to do how do you see this mr.
Samuels.
I think it you know ultimately.
This is not meant to be you know itself a group.
You know just for BSN behavior just for -- behavior we cover the slot in the paper are writer.
Natalie near Boston some great work over the course of the year.
Covering.
The year the group in the story as a whole by.
I think the purpose of the group is much more education driven so I think when you say that.
Do you funny for the group's going by handcuffs.
I'm not necessarily convinced that's accurate and that was -- that was a you know a little jest but when you sit -- education all right towards -- what -- Exactly what educational we talking about here.
Sure I mean I think that a big part of any group like this is safety and you know whether or not you agree with what they're doing and I think that's sort of a -- discussion altogether.
There's no question that this sort of behavior is happening all right -- -- you wanted to be safe.
That you want people to know not to hurt themselves terrible why should the university.
With student funding.
I gotta be honest this is Sam is the only bondage I experience at Harvard was paying tradition all right that was bondage.
All right but why should the university get involved with this you know marginal group.
And that you know all right they have their hobby why should we find it.
-- I -- ever harbored a big part of -- Harvard doesn't needed look at the office of student life and the organizations that their funding.
The aide tried to find and whether they do this successfully again is a different question but -- try to find.
Groups that bring in a variety of different viewpoints and you know I think if you look at -- Harvard campus and Luciano I don't even know if you would necessarily disagree with us.
There may be more students on a Harvard campus who would support funding and organizations like lunch.
Then supporting.
An organization like he has -- society now again whether that's right or wrong well I think it's the same question you know the just -- on his organizations is a conservative group.
But look you not be right do you know how -- -- college kids can be.
The big question is should -- university be using.
College funding student funding for this kind of alternative.
Thing.
And obviously -- -- -- you don't believe this is the proper use of this kind of funny correct.
Well I think that why what is problematic as that.
Today.
The university is supposed to be a place -- People can't have reasons and arguments and while this might be the intention of the BD SM -- What I find a really concerning is that it's -- and I think this group has only had seven -- This problem of the hyper sexual -- culture across.
University is.
And what I find it really problematic with the hyper -- -- culture.
Is that.
It marginalize is people.
Conservative -- at upbringing for example on day to about my plans orthodox Jews.
Mormons for example would be very offended.
-- -- They definitely table not publicly.
Run and around do what they do would you ban it.
We Juventus.
Luciano would you -- the group if you were the dean at Harvard say you can't be on campus do in this would you do that.
Like I think that it's and c'mon c'mon listen how would you ban and -- I I just think that it's.
Promotes a culture of -- that's ugly -- I'm -- great president yes you would ban -- mr.
Samuel is obviously would not -- it.
A bomb but if the group got you know a little bit flamboyant -- -- -- in the square and prance around.
Would you say that might be a bit much.
It depends on who wouldn't when -- in France or -- I guess that tomorrow I'll try to use your imagination is -- that is -- Smart guy.
I mean Luciano it is offended by the group should they be run around campus.
Do what they do in public.
I think they do they do -- around I don't see it similar seeing groups figure -- hasn't -- -- I -- -- my Halloween -- do it -- them.
I'm not -- that thanks actually tanks actually some other and recent -- sense I think a lot of you know things are changing Cambridge -- -- you both you know.
And and guys out there -- you.
Not I think about it I'm not even get a lot of -- thanks to the -- debate on.
