Condom craze
affects women
-Page?
(CPS)— Women students reportedly
are a lot more interested in the campus
condom craze than men, various sources
say.
The University of Nebraska at
Omaha's health center, for example, has
sold only 12 condoms since August, and
all have been to women, said nurse
Supervisor Ruth Hanon. I
About 65 percent of all the condoms
bought are purchased by women, added
Margaret Whited Scarbough, of Den¬
ver's Westvend Corp., which makes
condom vending machines.
When it comes to free condoms,
however, the-jrenders no longer discri¬
minate, ^r ,'
The University of Minnesota gave
away an estimated 3,000 free condoms
at orientation in September, though
freshman Eugene Mayer said as many
as half the rubbers given away at his
session were taken by women, too.
"That shocked me," Mayer said. "I
thought it was just something for men."
At the University of British Columbia,
"gladiators" threw an estimated 10,000
condoms from a truck outfitted to look
like the Trojan Horse to campus passers-
by, who reportedly left none laying
around.
Otherwise, however, shyness still
seems to keep many students from tak¬
ing advantage of campus condom
machines or services.
Nebraska's Hanon "really didn't ex¬
pect anyone to come in and ask for
them" because it meant standing in a
waiting room, and telling the reception¬
ist what was wanted.
"Women," she said, "usually take the
responsibility fcrr sexual activity, wheth¬
er it's birth control or keeping them¬
selves safe. Women take AIDS
more seriously than men."
Fifty-five percent of the people who
use the University of Florida's Pro¬
tection Connection—which delivers
condoms to buyers' doors in plain brown
bags—are- women, reported Scott Blue-
stein, a partner in the business.
Still another Protection Connection,
offering a similar service, has franchises
on 10 campuses in Virginia, Texas and
California.
The Mercury Protection Service,
founded by University of New Mexico
students, also delivers, though only on
weekends.
Protek at the University of California
at Davis delivers pamphlets about
sexually communicable diseases along
with condoms and contraceptive spong¬
es. It has spawned franchises as far
away as Purdue and Penn State. v
Such services were frowned on just a
short EtTrTe^ago.
In 196S, Harvard kicked a condom-
delivery service called Spermbusters off
campus because, officials said, it was
"inappropriate." The private business,
owned by two students, quickly died.
In 1986, University of Texas
administrators similarly kept a student-
owned service off the Austin campus.
It's probably too early to say how long
the current crop of condom deliverers
and vending machines will last, spon¬
sors say, but they remain hopeful.
"The more (condoms are) available, "
noted University of New Mexico student
Steve Gray, "the more careful people
will be. If there's anonymity, people will
buy them."
