These women are at college for an EDUCATION. I'm sure their parents are so proud that they raised insecure, slutty, vain women who are only in college to 'find a husband'.
Although I did model for a brief time, I would have never considered doing anything nude. I have respect for my parents and family.

"I am here because I would like to pose in Playboy," one student said. "It's been a dream of mine since I was about 15 years old."15 YEARS OLD? WHAT WERE YOU DOING/THINKING WHEN YOU WERE 15? I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY BOOBS!
Several Indiana University students could soon be in the pages of a popular men's magazine.
It's a controversial casting call that has spurred a mixed reaction on campus, RTV6's Ericka Flye reported. "I am here because I would like to pose in Playboy," one student said. "It's been a dream of mine since I was about 15 years old."
At 19 years old, Kelly has a chance to make her dream come true and dozens of other IU students are signing on the dotted line, posing for a Polaroid and hoping to end up in the magazine.
"It's Playboy's college campus feature. This time around, we're doing party schools," said Playboy photographer George Georgiou. IU is frequently on lists of top 10 party schools, a reputation that hardly makes university officials proud.
"I'd rather talk about our students who receive Marshall scholarships or Truman scholarships, or our students who are doing research in labs with professors to find cures for cancer," said Richard McKaig, IU's Dean of Students.
School leaders don't condone the playmate auditions and they can't control it. The interviews are at an off-campus hotel and the applicants must be at least 18. They may be old enough to make the decision, but some students don't agree with their choice.
"I think that it completely downgrades the quality and the caliber of the students that are here who are studying," said IU grad student Colleen Paul. Other IU students RTV6 talked with agreed. "I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing that," said one student. "I don't feel it's the right choice to make and I just wouldn't want to put myself in that situation," said another student.
Other coeds feel differently. Amanda Clancy, 20, believes the magazine could be a springboard to future careers. "I'm actually an aspiring model, and I'd like to be an actress one day. I'm also a business management major," Clancy said.
The women RTV6 spoke with said they had their parents' support to pose for the magazine. Playboy could choose anywhere from five to 15 women for an issue next spring.

Sorry...but I believe they are sluts. They are looking for male attention and gratification. Why go to college if all you want to do is pose naked and start a career as a stripper or nude model? Women are more intelligent than that...but it doesn't seem to be the case at I.U.
Do you know how many rapists and sexual offenders start off by reading 'soft porn' mags like Playboy? Sure the women get paid...but at what cost? Especially since they dress these "women" up like little girls. It's appealing to the sexual deviant nature of men.
I suppose you love "Girls Gone Wild", too. It's completely degrading and demeaning.
I'm sorry...but I can look good and not have to take my clothes off. My goals and inspirations in life aren't to pose for Playboy. That is the most shallowest thing I've heard.
Something those women don't have, I possess: self-esteem, a college degree, a year of law school, a BRAIN and a great job to boot. I don't need money or the 15 minutes of fame that bad.
Those pictures will linger FOREVER.
Do you honestly think these 'women' are going to want their future children or husband(s) to see what they did? "Hey mom...today at school someone said they saw you naked on the internet!" How would that make you feel for your child? How would you explain that to him/her?
Women aren't on this earth to cater to men's sexual needs, desires, etc. It's called SELF RESPECT.
I don't object to tasteful nude art, but when it comes to exploitation of young and naive college girls, that's where I draw the line.
I assume when a woman goes to a university it is because she is an intellectual and is there to study what kind of profession she wants to go into. College is something to be taken seriously. There are millions of people who want to be in their shoes, but can't for one reason or another. You go to college for an education...not to be discovered by Playboy, or make an actual porn movie by a real porn producing company out of your dorm room. (Which did happen at I.U. last year...If I remember correctly, I believe the young students involved were expelled.) I'm sure their parents are glad they are spending money on their kid's hedonism.
So, if these college women's aspirations are to be in playboy, or be the next host of "America's Top Model" or the next slutty chick from "The Real World", then don't go to college and waste another person's position in the application process. Go to Hollywood and see what exploitation is really like.
Jenny McCarthy? C'mon... I agree she's funny, but real talent? She was all boobs (fake) and a host of MTV's "Singled Out". She won the playmate of the year and made $100,000. You know what she did with the money? She paid off STUDENT LOANS and bought her parents a house in Chicago. Half of her uncles and aunts are priests and nuns and have denounced her from the family.
I'd say family trumps baring my boobs for money any day.
PS--Would you like the rape statistics before Playboy debuted in 1952? Sex crimes have risen at an alarming rate since the 1950's, and these women are willing to take a few bucks to show some boobs and beaver when they are really hurting the rest of us.
Steven...I honestly could care less if someone wants to pursue that lifestyle or kind of work. I just don't think it's proper for playboy to scout higher education campuses in pursuit of making horny men happy. To me it seems unethical and completely out of line.
Also, I think these college women that 'aspire' to pose nude, etc., are the same ones that put on the 'lesbian act' at parties to get the guy's attention and hootin' and hollerin'. I don't have respect for women like that. It makes them look pathetic and it makes me want to vomit, actually.
In closing, yes, they get paid for their services...but you know for a fact that playboy gets the most payoff in the end. The woman gets paid once and the mag reaps millions of dollars. So, in that sense, I think these women are not only insecure and are in some sort of need for positive reinforcement from men; but they are stupid as well. I highly doubt they have lawyers or agents negotiating for them. They are easy prey for the big business men and will get eaten alive and then spit back out.
But hey...it's not my problem. Do what you want...that's what I've always said, always done, and always will.
