Protest Halts Condom Distribution By College Paper

By Daily Titan, Cal State-Fullerton (via UWIRE)

FULLERTON Early in the semester, the Daily Titan entered into a promotional agreement with the Student Health and Counseling Center. Together, we wanted to help prevent unplanned pregnancies and reduce the risk of college students contracting sexually transmitted diseases by inserting one condom into each of the 4,500 copies of the Nov. 14 Daily Titan.

This would be beneficial to all involved -- the center would receive publicity for the many services it provides and the Daily Titan would provide something more tangible than words and photos.

Now, the center seems to be backing out of the agreement.

Earlier this week, someone complained to the university's Student Affairs about our relatively innocuous promotion for the event featuring stick figures having sex in the missionary position. It's amazing how such a small thing can create such a big problem.

Tuesday, Howard Wang, associate vice president for Student Affairs and acting executive director for the center, said, "We will not have the Health Center associated with that particular advertisement."

Well, Wang, your wish has been granted.

2. You'd think sex outranks terrah on the fear scale.

or maybe it's just planning for sex, eh? I suppose if it *just happens* while you're trapped in an airport restroom or a prostitute magically shows up at yout hotel room door then you really can't be held responsible. But if you go so far as to have a condom then you must be a sex fiend or a slut.Sinner!
