Condoms on Big 8 campuses
Students get them from vending machines, fishbowls, free packets
By M. Meredith Relph
Universities have increased efforts to educate students about AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Kansan staff writer
At Big Eight schools, this includes making condom readily available to students.
The University of Colorado at Boulder opted to install condom vending machines in residence halls and other campus locations about a year and a half ago.
H. Rolan Zick, director of Wardenburg Student Health Center at Colorado, said 40 condom machines had been installed and sold a combined total of 800-1,000 condoms each month.
each other. We discussed it with the administration, and the idea was met with mixed emotions. "Zick said, 'But they agreed to put the machines in the student health center, the student union, the rec center and in the dorms.'"
Zick said his biggest concern about AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases was that many students did not really believe they could contract the diseases
"We may not be changing people's behavior by having the machines," Zick said. "But hopefully we may reinforce the seriousness of these issues."
He said that the only problem with the condom machines had been vandalism but that the problem had not been large enough to warrant removal of the machines.
Last spring, the KU faculty task force on AIDS suggested that condom machines be installed on campus. The idea was rejected in favor of educational programs for students and faculty. Residents in Hashinger Hall last January were denied a request to purchase a condom machine with hall money.
in that money. However, the Student Senate task force on AIDS passed out packets that contained condoms and information on safe sex practices during spring fee payment. The student affairs, said
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said
he thought having condom vending machines in residence halls was inappropriate. He said he was satisfied with the University's efforts to make condoms more accessible to students.
"KU was doing something about it long before the issue of AIDS came up and brought the matter out in the open." Amber said.
Alfondalo.
KU students may purchase condoms at both the Kansas and Burge Union bookstores and at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Candye Waitley, a nurse at Watkins, said condoms were becoming more widely used to protect against sexually transmitted diseases than only as contraceptive devices.
"Birth control pills are more popular with women, and they tend to forget about STDs", Waitley said.

Other Big Eight universities leave the job of making condoms available to students up to the university's health services.

Jim Oehm, director of pharmacy at the University of Nebraska, said officials at Nebraska wanted to make it easier for students to buy condoms without being embarrassed but did not choose to install condom vending machines on campus.
ve Maneh'kha braska, condoms are sold from a large glass fishbowl at the student health center, and students are trusted to leave money for them. Oehm added that as many women bought condoms from the bowl as men.
"It has increased sales tremendously," Oehm said.
"We sell about 10 times as many as we used to."
Pat Bosco, associate vice president and dean of student life at Kansas State University, said a K-State task force on AIDS last year made a series of recommendations, including one in favor of condom machines on campus.
"We have a standing university committee that discussed the idea and ultimately rejected it," Mosco said.
New center to help KC businesses
By Daniel Niemi
The new Regents Center planned for Johnson County will not only help fill an educational void in the Kansas City area, it will help attract new business, Kansas City and University officials say.

and Universities have felt education was not what it should be, particularly for the size of the metro area," said Sam Hunter, manager of the research data center at Mid-America Regional Council in Kansas City.
"Businesses will look favorably at the new Regents Center and it will attract new business."
Mary Novaria, vice president of the Kansas City Area Development Council, said the council had conducted a study that showed businesses thought the area was deficient in education, particularly high-tech areas such as engineering and computer science.

"We need to keep in mind, however, that there's no overnight fix. Both universities in Missouri and Kansas need to take a long-term approach to these programs."
Novaria agreed the Regents Center plan would help
Hunter and Novaria said businesses were often looking for training programs in high-tech areas, and that the Regents Center would help provide such programs.
"We've had instances in the past where programs at colleges and junior colleges have attracted businesses because of their training programs," Novaria said.

"As we have studied Kansas City, many businesses interested in settling there have looked at the quality of the educational system and the educational environment," she said.
Anti-racism rally today
By Cindy Harger Kansan staff writer
People in Lawrence and at the University of Kansas should take an active stance against the rising tide of racism and supremacist violence, organizers of an anti-racism rally said.
The rally against the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis has been scheduled for 11:30 a.m today in front of Staufer-Flint Hall. The rally is being sponsored by Action Coalition, a registered KU organization aimed at promoting free speech and student protest on vital issues.
It's No Secret. It's Good Food.
"We're trying to get across a show of unity and strength that says violence and this kind of race hatred is not acceptable," said David Scheuer, Honolulu sophomore and one of the principal organizers of the rally. "This is a prominent, real issue on campus and in Lawrence and deserves broader attention."
Scheuer and other rally organizers said that they wanted to prevent racism from becoming a large an issue on the KU campus as it has become at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. Some allegedly racist incidents have occurred recently in Maryville, where a Klan organization is said to exist.
Organizers of the rally said they weren't sure how many people would be involved in the rally, but that they had contacted about 70 Lawrence and KU organizations and individuals.
Dan May, Lawrence senior, who is also a principal organizer of the rally, said that that the idea for the rally began a few weeks ago when he and four others sent an editorial letter to the University Daily Kansas. They said that they felt the letter wasn't treatise fairly. The letter was sent to a Penn School Collegian editorial reprinted in the Kansan on Oct. 31 that addressed a Klan march in Philadelphia.
May and Schener said that they also felt Kansan news coverage trivialized and neglected racial issues.
issues.
"We realize the UDK has to devote a fair amount of its attention to KU, but we don't think they should be ignoring life and death issues." Scheuer said.
