Sexual after effects linger
despite choice of services
JL
By Steven Mozena
Of the Emerald
It’s generally accepted that
the benefits and enjoyments of
attending college go beyond the
classroom. But one of the more
pleasurable aspects of campus
life — sex — carries with it cer
tain less-than-pleasurable after
effects.
At least 150 University
students were treated for sex
ually transmitted diseases last
year, says James Jackson, direc
tor of the Student Health
Center.
And more than 90 University
women had abortions at
Women’s Medical Services dur
ing the same period, says nurse
practitioner Margaret Leonard.
Further, a 1982 report,
“Human Reproduction and
Birth Control,” states that one
out of five college women na
tionwide will become pregnant
before graduation.
Jackson believes that students
usually don’t take advantage of
what they know about birth
control and diseases when they
indulge in sex. “It’s not a mat
ter of knowledge It’s a matter of
application.
“Students may be shocked or
surprised and wondering why it
happened to them. Of course,
the students know it has been
on the cover of Time and
Newsweek magazino, but to
them it still does not mean they
should get the disease,’’
Jackson says.
However, many students ap
parently do take precautions.
Heather Loomis, a pharmacist
at the health center says that in
1983-84 University women pur
chased an average of 130 tubes
of spermicidal jelly, 1Q8 ap
plicators of spermicide’ 'Vw»»n
and 14 boxes of contraceptive
sponges each month. And an
average of 25 women per month
were fitted for diaphragms and
262 women a month bought
birth control pills.
Additionally, 18 University
men purchased a package of one
dozen condoms per month at
the health center. Loomis says
she is surprised that more
Univeristy men did not buy
condoms at the health center
because the cost of the condoms
is less expensive than at
pharmacies.
“Or maybe the male students
just don’t use them,” she says.
However, Li Simmons of the
University Bookstore says the
bookstore averaged 35 male
students a month buying a
package of a dozen condoms.
Despite such statistics
Jackson believes students are
responsible for their actions.
“Students have to be in order to
be going to classes, taking tests,
getting grades, thinking ahead
and even paying for school,” he
says.
Students who participate in
sex without any knowledge of
the consequences have no one
to blame but themselves. At
least four sources of aid and in
formation are readily available:
the Student Health Center,
Planned Parenthood, Women’s
Medical Services and Sacred
Heart Hospital.
The Health Center offers birth
control products at a cost of at
least 50 percent less than the
market price, Loomis says. For
instance, the cost of birth con
trol pills ranges from $2.50 to
$4.00 a month.
In addition, the health center
provides counseling to students
about birth control and sexually
transmitted diseases. Students
can talk with a doctor, nurse,
psychologist, psychiatrist or a
peer counselor.
