After u disappointing evening at
the prom. Jennifer and Mike checked
into u hotel together. They wanted to
wipe out their frustrations by spend
ing the rest of the evening in each
others' arms.
When they finished making love.
Mike rolled over gently and looked
down. He shivered and looked back
at Jennifer with disbelief. There was
silence at first Then, softly, he told
her "it broke." Hu rolled again to his
side and curled up.
Jennifer and Mike’s evening had
gone from bad to worse. What made
it frustrating is that they did exactly
what most experts told them — they
used a lubricated condom for protec
tion. which most federal studies say
leak or break less than -t percent of
the time.
Yet they still put themselves at
risk when the condom broke Jen
nifer knows now that Mike left too
much space at the tip of the condom,
causing it to fold over and rub
against itself, weakening it In other
words, the condom wasn't faulty;
Mike just used it incorrectly.
Kxperts say Jennifer .mil Mike are
not the only one* making mistakes
Mary VVidoff. education director at
Planned Parenthood. said although
people are finally recognizing thu
importance of using condoms, many
still don't know how to use one.
Although lennifer and Mike wore

common mistakes are made by first
time users
"People's first exposure to c on
doms is often during their first sex
ual experience," she said "They're
in an awkward situation, don't know
what to do, and they make a mistake
Sometimes their only knowledge

The University's finding may end a long, some

the ASUO
Since tlie $ Pi7.000 accounts were disi overed in
August. University administrators and the ASUO
have argued whether the a< i mints contained any

In January. Moseley started a l Jmversity analysis
of the account to find out w hether any of the mon

The University would have finished the analy

entered on the University's computerized a< i mint
