Northwestern to put condoms in dorm vending machines

The thinking is that some students are too embarrassed to get their protection from a campus health services worker. “We wanted to find a way for the condoms not to pass through an intermediary,” says a student. (Daily Northwestern)

Is this story from like 1983?

I thought condoms in vending machines were standard at this point. I mean, if you need it then and there, the health center will probably be closed.

Several years ago, our Grand International President said that she would rather see a condom machine in every ADPi house than hear of one ADPi dying of AIDS.

Make your pledges carry them. When you need them they are there.

Isn't everyone who goes to Northwestern a dork? Do they even know how to have sex?


They should have these at UCSB or Chico St. or something

Michael Wilbon is NOT a dork...he sits across from one.

Is he that fat guy with thick glasses on that stupid ESPN show?

Nope...he's a skinny bald guy without glasses.

I actually kind of like Kornheiser, although I like Wilbon better.

They had them in your school?

The only place I've seen a condom vending machine was in a dive bar.

Yeah, me too. The vending machines in our dorms all had Trojans in them. Except on the weekends. :p

it's not one like THAT, silly.

They're in w/ the candy bars and such.

--RIP the Beehive who had bowls in their vending machine.

You had bowls in your vending machine? Like for ganj???

And I would rather not purchase a peppermint patty next to some pervert with dirty hands. Nobody ever goes "I'm gonna go buy a jimmy hat as soon as I get into the dorm". The dude is about to hit it, realizes he doesn't have one, or she complains, and then he runs out looking for one.

So yes, I don't want my peppermint patties coming from the same machine or next to a machine with weird smells and germs.

--And York peppermint patties are delicious.

Not in our school machine, at a bar over by Pitt. Yes, like for ganj.

LOL, when I was at Platteville there was a condom machine in our laundry room.

Is your imaginary dude buying condoms from the machine or is he humping it?

I am pretty sure I know where those hands have been.

I have a fairly good idea from the movies anyway.

Smart move by any school. I am sure the school gets a cut of the sales!:D

God Damn, go to a Real Truck Stop and see the selection!:eek:

My freshman year of college they use to have a machine in all the dorms on campus. I think they still had some in a couple of them by the time I graduated.

condoms in vending machines in college is ridiculous.

i'm an RA. we give out condoms to our residents.
lots of them.
FREE.

flavored? yes
ribbed? hellz yeah
colored? sure why not
glow in the dark? i think so

the condom:student ratio is definitely higher than the student:sex-having ratio.

like i said, selling condoms in college=ridiculous.

perhaps this is different by school, but most of my residents (freshmen, by the way) are mature enough to stop by my room for one, or go by a sexual health advocate's room (peer educator) for condoms and other stuff, like lube of all sorts of flavors and dental dams. and yes, you can even get your hands on a female condom.

my SHA has to restock his wall of sex (a shoe rack turned storage compartment) at least once a week. i restock my condom box (on my cork board on my door) probably just as often. clearly whoever needs their fix is doing so ahead of time

i would think northwestern has enough money to give that stuff out.

you know, now that i think of it, there may not be the option of "running out to a drugstore" and grabbing some magnums @ northwestern.

however, i still think the idea is ridiculous.

i just hope that some poor student doesnt get shammed out of a few quarters if the machine jams and potentially puncturing the packaging. that would be bad news.

moral of the story: get your own damn condoms. if you cant get it together between 2+ people to throw one in your purse/wallet/pocket... well maybe you should call it a night.
