Hot freshman sees Playboy playmates as more than just hot chicks

Wildcat: My name is Kylee and you're on the spot. So tell me, when's the last time you checked out some hot T&A in a Playboy?

Vollmer: That would probably be two weeks ago.

Wildcat: Which issue was it?

Vollmer: The one with Brooke Burke.

Wildcat: So, do you think it's an educational publication?

Vollmer: I think it can be.

Wildcat: Why?

Vollmer: 'Cause you learn a lot, actually. There's not a lot of pictures, but Playboy's more of an article-based magazine. And you can learn a lot about lifestyle and other things like that.

Wildcat: What do you think of Playboy recruiting UA students to pose for their pictorial called "Girls of the Pac-10"?

Vollmer: Well, I mean, they're not hurting anyone, obviously. They're just going to look around and make some money. And college girls around campuses are very pretty, and I don't have a problem with it, but it just depends on how they go about the recruitment process, and if they're being gentlemen about it or if they're just trying to promote vulgarity.

Wildcat: Do you have a girlfriend?

Vollmer: I don't have a girlfriend.

Wildcat: Would you ever date a Playmate?

Vollmer: Ah, that depends.

Wildcat: On what?

Vollmer: It depends on her. I would date a Playmate, but she would have to be like a type of girl that I would normally date. She would have to have the same qualities.

Wildcat: So, what should a woman look like in order to appear in Playboy?

Vollmer: I think there's a certain level of confidence they have to have and, obviously, they have to have a good figure, a pretty body, a pretty face. They have to have an attribute about them that they can flaunt, that they can be comfortable with. And if they have that, then they can be in Playboy.

Wildcat: Do you think they should all look like Hugh Hefner's herd of girlfriends? Have you seen what they look like?

Vollmer: Yeah. I've seen what they look like and, no. Playboy, I like to think of it as more of a naturalistic type of beauty. Obviously you get the type of girls who look like Playboy bunnies, and that's a type of girl. But I don't think that's what Playboy, overall, is trying to promote. They try to promote the girl herself and her attributes and her persona.
