Are condoms safe
to buy on campus?
Consumer magazine considers prophylactics
sold at CSUF not up to acceptable standards
By Steve Kittlltz
Stctff Writer
One of the two types of condoms sold in the
CSUF vending machines was found to have the
highest projected failure rate in a recent Con¬
sumers Union test of 40 different condoms.
As reported in the March issue of Consumer
Reports magazine, the LifeStyles Nuda Plus and
the LifeStyles Extra Strength with Nonoxynol-9
were the only two condoms ranked as having a
projected maximum failure rate of more than 10
percent.
LifeStyle Nuda Plus condoms are available in
single packages through campus machines, and
Prime condoms, made by the same manufacturer,
are sold in packs of three.
The condoms were chosen for sate on campus
from among the different varieties offered by the
supplier of the vending machines. Golden Eagle
Vending Co., said Gus Graham, director of
auxiliary services.
Graham, who helped choose the condoms available on
campus, said he has heard no complaints about the pro¬
duct and is considering no change at this time.
"I don't believe everything I read in Consumer Re¬
ports" Graham said.
But John Wetzel, campus housing director, said the
choices were made based on the best information avail¬
able at the time, and a reconsideration might be in order.
"We don't want students to not buy a product because
ihey don't have confidence in it," Wetzel said.
A spokesperson for the manufacturer of LifeStyle con¬
doms, Ansell, Inc., of Alabama, could not be reached for
comment. Six different models of LifeStyle condoms
were included in the test, with only two receiving unfa¬
vorable rankings.
The main criterion used by the CSUF selection coni-
mittee to decide what condoms would be stocked on
campus was that the condoms were domestically pro¬
duced and included a spermicide, said Graham.
The condoms chosen include a spermicide called

CFA files $6.6 millioft
grievance with CSU?
By Alita Loe
Staff Writer
' Questioning the legality of a diversion of $6.6
million in faculty pay raise money, the California
Faculty Association has filed a formal grievance
against the California State University system.
According to the December 1988 issue of the
CFA Professor, CSU Chancellor Ann Reynolds
requested the Department of Finance transfer the
$6.6 million to CSU"s general appropriation.
An independent arbitrator heard arguments in
March and both parties are awaiting the final de¬
cision.
Frank Gary of the chancellor's office employee
relations, said he was unable to comment on ihe
grievance issue.
"The collective bargining contract indicated
grievances arc confidential processes," said Gary.
"So I'm going to have to abide to that contract
agreement signed by both sides."
Gary cited article 10.27 of the CSU printed contract,
dated July 1, 1987-June 30, 1991: "The parties agree
that all grievance files and/or contents of grievance meet¬
ings shall be confidential."
Marcia Apedaite, CFA regional service coordinator,
said CSU claimed it needed to divert the S6.6 million to
use it to avoid layoffs.
"Then ihey hired new. faculty," said Apedaile, citing
CFA's Issues '88 flier's report of "549 newly funded fac¬
ulty positions.''
Gary said the ability to transfer the funds can be found
in the Budget Act of 1988, in specifically what is some¬
times called "The Governor's Veto Message."
"The committee called for an unallocated reduction of
3 percent in the entire CSU system," said Gary. "In the
veto message, the governor said all pay increases for. all
employees would be in effect June 1 to offset the budget
and CSU could transfer the funds to offset the reduc¬
tion."

successors, but in time, these ex-leaders accept
their changing roles and begin to contribute their
services in a variety of ways.

invest his energies in many different areas.
