Some might find it racy, and some might think Playboy magazine vulgar and degrading. But are those who say so the same people who sport Playboy tote bags, belly rings, tattoos or those cute little bunny heads on your hip bone to show off the intensity of your tan? The fact of the matter is, Playboy is coming to IU, and there will be women auditioning. So isn’t this just another opportunity for our school to best our Big Ten opponents? I, for one, would volunteer to be a cheerleader at a Playboy photo shoot-off. Although there is only a Big Ten pictorial once every few years, IU’s representation in Playboy in the past has been average at best (I know, as I’ve had a subscription since 1999). So let’s make this issue pop up at the reader (pun not intended). Our school should flood the pages of this coed pictorial, putting rivals like Michigan, Ohio State and, most of all, Purdue to shame. We should give Playboy the best of what we’ve got, and show the nation why we still are the definitive No. 1 party school.
