Local News in Brief : Student Video Halted
Glendale College officials ordered an immediate halt Monday to production of a student video, being taped partially on campus and with college equipment, after an actress and her boyfriend complained that the script contains nudity and excessive violence.
Dr. John A. Davitt, college president, said he ordered the halt and called for an investigation after he learned of the complaint from Michael Petros, an instructor who had assigned students in his advanced television production class to produce a video presentation.
Jim Morris of Canyon Country said he called Petros and a college dean last Thursday to complain that his girlfriend, Lois Livingstone of Studio City, an actress and model, had been asked to perform partially clothed or in the nude. Morris also said the script calls for various sex acts and extreme violence.
