She added that any time women view themselves as objects, it sends out the wrong message. “When they’re willing to be pho tographed as things you can buy, this is one of the biggest things that con tribute to assault and rape,” she said. Hennessey said the students may have the opportunity to model for Playboy in the future and that may be a springboard for bigger things. Cyn thia Kaye, make-up, hair and wardrobe artist and former Playboy Playmate, said even if they don’t pur sue a career, it gives students a day they will never forget. “They want to be here; they want to be beautiful,” Kaye said. “They want that movie-star-for-a-day kind of feeling.” - Reactions from University students were mixed when asked about the Playboy shoot. “I think it’s their choice. It doesn’t affect me,” senior Katy Shameklis said. She added that it may have ap pealed to her more as a freshman but now that she is older, she said she wouldn’t pose. “For one, it could affect your future and work against you,” Shameklis said. Senior Natalie Reygers said she heard about the interviews on the radio. “It bothers me that they advertise the way they do,” she said. “They Arrest: Illegal abuse poses health threat Continued from page 1 The charge for possessing anoth er person’s amphetamine prescrip tion carries the same charge as pos sessing methamphetamine. It is a class C felony. Aside from potential felony charges for illegally using drugs like Adderall, there are also substantial health risks. So substantial, that on Feb. 9, Health Canada announced on its official Web site that it was with drawing the drug from the Canadian market in light of information “con cerning the association of sudden deaths, heart-related deaths, and strokes in children and adults taking the usual recommended doses of Adderall and Adderall XR.” In addition to increasing concen tration, Adderall has many other ef fects on the body, including elevation of blood pressure, impotence, insom nia, dizziness, headache, euphoria, diarrhea and overstimulation. emilysmith@ daily emerald, com make it seem cool.” “It puts too much emphasis on your body image,” she added. “There’s more to women than big boobs and their body.” Sophomore Cameron Patterson said he didn’t mind. “It’s cool,” Patterson said. He ac knowledged it would be “weird” to see members of his family posing in Playboy. “I think it’s very perverse,” junior Mari Mizobe said. “It surprises me that students in higher education go and model for these things,” she added. The last time Playboy put out a Pac 10 edition was November 1999. After the distribution, three University women received phone threats and sexually explicit calls. Police traced the phone calls to a Middletown, N.Y., man’s residence and anested him. The man was on probation for threatening to rape and kill two women. Hennessey said students have the option of using a different name. “If women are not comfortable, they can use a stage name,” she said. Drew said she isn’t afraid of having someone unwanted pursuing her. She said this is simply a chance to have some fun. “Even if it doesn’t go far with this, you can look back and go ‘ha ha, in college I tried out for Playboy,”’ she said. “Everyone has their fun, crazy stories in college.” sheldontraver@dailyememld.com FUJICOLOR Ip r d c e S S I N B.
