Not Totally Naked, Not Totally Nude: Representatives of California State University-Hayward who invited an artist to show her work on campus had no idea she had switched from painting plants to nudes. Audrey Yuen, who has exhibited her work on campus before, planned a three-week show in May at the University Union--until officials discovered the change. Three paintings of fully nude women were in Yuen’s proposed 10-nude exhibit. But the student union had never shown nude pictures before. In a last-minute compromise, Yuen and student union directors agreed Tuesday to featuring only above-the-waist nudes.
