BLACKSBURG -- "Girls Gone Wild" has plans to visit Blacksburg next week, and Virginia Tech officials aren't happy about it.

The video franchise is produced by Mantra Films Inc., a pornography production company that achieved fame for filming women stripping and performing sexual acts on spring break and at parties.

The Web site for "Girls Gone Wild" lists Blacksburg as an upcoming destination. Its MySpace page names Oge-Chi's, a restaurant and nightclub near the university in downtown Blacksburg, as the location for a tour stop at 9 p.m. April 20.

Susanna Rinehart, an assistant provost, encouraged faculty attending Tuesday night's faculty senate meeting to warn their students about being exploited by the production company.

"This is a heinous, heinous, operation," she said. "It is a scourge, and our students are unbelievably vulnerable."

The company visited a Radford University fraternity in 2005, and sightings of a "Girls Gone Wild" bus on Tech's campus were reported earlier this semester.

Jerry Smith, the Oge-Chi's executive director of operations, said people at the restaurant's corporate headquarters are meeting with town officials to discuss the event he confirmed was planned for April 20. He declined further comment.

Chiamaka Entertainment Inc., which owns Oge-Chi's, provided a written statement Wednesday: "We are not releasing any information at this time. We have several important meetings that arose that we must attend. Further information will be available at a later time."

Calls to the public relations firm working for "Girls Gone Wild" were not returned Wednesday.

The group's tour bus is traveling the country looking for the "craziest clubs, hottest parties and wildest girls around," according to its Web site.

After spending most of March filming spring-breakers in Florida, "Girls Gone Wild" is taking its tour to college towns farther north. The tour has crews in Madison, Wis., and New Haven, Conn., today and will be headed to Greenville, N.C., after stopping in Blacksburg, according to the schedule.

A "Girls Gone Wild" visit to Bloomington, Ind., was canceled in January after community and Indiana University students, faculty and staff voiced objections to the visit. The group signed a petition against the visit and formed a group on Facebook.com, an online networking site primarily made up of college students.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Facebook group "Hokies Against Girls Gone Wild" had more than 200 members. The group's profile calls on students to boycott the event, but some students were discussing a "sober stand-in" to flood the nightclub April 20.

Tech senior Christina Pena started the group earlier this week when word about the event began circulating around campus. Group members drafted a petition asking Oge-Chi's to reconsider hosting the event. They plan to present it to restaurant management Friday. That "Girls Gone Wild" is even planning to visit reflects poorly on the university, she said.

Sarah Saxton, outgoing vice president of Tech's Student Government Association, said she had similar worries about the school's reputation when Playboy visited campus in 2004.

"We all know the reputation that 'Girls Gone Wild' has and relating that at all to Tech is not something that I would want to see," she said.

Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said students have the right to do what they want, but he said "Girls Gone Wild" runs counter to the university's values.

"We certainly hope our students would refrain from getting involved in this ... porn operation," he said.

Christine Smith, assistant director for counseling and advocacy at Tech's women's center, sent an e-mail Wednesday to faculty and staff, asking them to discourage students from attending the event.

According to the e-mail, there have been reports of rapes at the functions and women who participate could face "serious implications" to their futures because their actions would be captured forever on video. It also points out that "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis makes millions of dollars off the girls who are compensated only with T-shirts.

"What they tend to do is they come in and they host a party and they ply women with a lot of alcohol and they coax them into flashing the camera and engaging in some kind of sexual act in front of the camera," Smith said. "We have sort of multiple concerns of women being exploited while they're drunk."

The e-mail warns that both Virginia Tech and Blacksburg High School students are at risk of being exploited. In September, Francis pleaded guilty to federal charges of failing to document the ages of women in "Girls Gone Wild" videos. The federal law is designed to prevent child pornography.
