^A/hile some campus orga-
nL^ations'hcld bake sales and
sold Valentine flowers and bal¬
loons yesterday, other students
sought to instruct the commu¬
nity about some realities of sex
in the 1990s.
Volunteers with Team
RISE, the Student Health
Center's Responsibletnitiators
for Sexual Education, operated
a booth in conjunction with
National Condom Week at the
Free Speech Area Monday and
Tuesday. * •
JoyWoo^RISE'sNational
Condom Week coordinator,
said "We hoped to get the mes¬
sage out, to educate and pro¬
mote sexual health, about pro¬
tecting yourself against STDs
(sexually transmitted diseases)
and unintended pregnancies. We
also want to help students be¬
come more comfbrtable 'about
discussing coridoms, how to use
them, and so forth." i -*
RISE members worked the
booth enthusiastically, clad in col¬
orful T-shirts exhorting all to
"Avoid the Nine Condom Grem¬
lins: Crusty, Snaggy, Scratchy,
Pinchy, Oily, Soggy, Stinky,
Droopy and Forgetful." Recog¬
nizing that different people re¬
spond to different forms of com-
munication, the team used a wide
spectrum of approaches to inform
students about using comdoms
properly and effectively. By an¬
swering two out of three ques¬
tions on a simple safe sex quiz
correctly, one could get entered in
a rubrxr tree raffle, with the win¬
ner receiving a live rubber tree

experiencing another culture in a
great environment? CSU, Fresno
may ha ve just the right answer for
you.
There are many programs of¬
fered in campus to fulfill the
dreams of compulsive travelers.
For those who believe that learn
ing a foreign, language can be a
very difficult experience and an
impossible mission, "Join the
World" is the way to go.
Through the .program, stu- '

gland for CSU system prices If
you do not mind the challenge of
a foreign language and would do
just anything to learn about the
Old Continent, Foothill College
offers college students of Califor-

employment.

to know the culture of your neigh
