Should Kennesaw State University take over Southern Polytechnic State University, including SPSU's school colors, mascot and name?
 
On Monday, SPSU students delivered their response to word of the imminent merger: "Over our dead student body."
 
As both KSU President Dan Papp and SPSU President Lisa Rossbacher led a Q&A meeting of students, teachers and employees, hoping to spread the impression that merging these two Cobb County universities would be in everyone's best interest, skepticism abounded among those at SPSU who will be most affected.
 
"Why us?" asked one student. "Why not something more compatible with KSU? I just don't want to graduate from Kennesaw State."
 
"KSU students can't tell the difference between JPEGs and square pegs. We're smarter than them! We're better than that!" shouted another.
 
"A lot of us here at SPSU are introverts. KSU doesn't have a lot of introverts. They don't fit with us! How will the student populations merge when we can't live with each other!" said a third.
 
Papp and Rossbacher tried to assuage concerns and doubts of students and staff.
