At 15 cents a piece, they're quite a bargain if they can save a student's life. But Brown University may see a shortage of campus- supplied protection in the near future if changes are not implemented. "My concern," said Mary Lou McMillan of Health services, "is that we have been buying a large supply of latex with cash up front, and we've asked students to pay for them on an honor system, but people are not paying." From the start of orientation period, Health Services has invested $1,512 in latex. They have received a little over $100 from student contributors. "The budget is not limitless," said McMillan, regarding the $4,000 budget put aside each year topurchase the supplies. "If there isn't a change, we wonTget all the way through May." First-year counselors, who supply their unit members with Health Services' latex taped to their doors in an open envelope, are aware that the envelopes rarely contain any money in return. "People are not paying for them because it's an option, not a requirement," said Kai-Lin Hsu , a coordinating counselor in Keeney Quad. "That'll be a problem if there is a lack of supply." Hsu also pointed out students' waste of the condoms. "Some students will take them and just play around when they're drunk, and leave them in the hallways." McMillan wondered, "Does every piece of latex get used? Probably not. If someone is wantonly wasting them, that irritates me." McMillan has begun a postering campaign to urge sexually active students to take responsibility for the latex. A poster in Keeney Quad reads: "Pay your own way. Don't expect someone else to pay for your protection!" "I'm trying to change the thoughts toward the method," she continued. "Pay for your own sex, instead of making me pay." Other proposed solutions include placing money jars in the Unit kitchen condom drawers or in the bathrooms. "We are going to test that idea," said McMillan. More metal boxes will also be placed in the cold clinic area of Health Services, where students are also obtaining latex without contributing the 15 cents. Health Services implemented the current system for obtaining protection five years ago, initiating an honor code to help refund their purchases. McMillan has dismissed the idea of using freshmen unit dues to cover latex supplies. "That would be like asking your roommate or someone to pay for your sex." Previously, condom machines were installed in the laundry rooms, selling for 20 cents a piece. In addition, the Health Services pharmacy made condoms available for student purchase. During that time, nearly 9,000 condoms were sold through the pharmacy, a modest quantity compared to the 22,000 distributed the next year under the current system. "The number of pieces that go out has increased in numbers," said McMillan. "It has leveled off to about 48,000 condoms a year, which has stayed stable for about four years." According to McMillan, the increase over the last five years is attributable to the present system which reduces the barriers to safer sex practice, making latex readily available 24 hours a day. "It's very anonymous. You can pretend you're looking at your throat, grab some condoms, put money in the box, and leave," said McMillan. "I want to make it as available as possible, so if students are having sex they are using the appropriate prevention method*. McMillan also addressed trie issue that freshmen who are dep dent on their unit counselors to^ supply the latex may not know to obtain them next year. i» counselors that it's great to ma condoms available in the dorms, that they also should let the first years discover the accessibility themselves," she said.
