SHOUL^en tak Stefanie Slzemorel ast September, a researcher at New York University announced she had discovered a drug that, taken once a day. will render a man infertile. The male birth control pill may seem like a good idea but the bad news is that no pharma- ceutical companies plan to produce it in fear that men will not Want to take it or will not be trusted to take it. BGSU students agree. Chris Blasdel. senior Journalism major, is not presently in a serious relationship, but agrees that males will not take the pill. "Guys have condoms and girls have the pill," he said. "I am not the one who is going to nave the baby so 1 do not think I shouldhave to take the pill." Blasdel admits that he thinks girls are more responsible about sex and therefore the pill is "I the best idea for them. "I think females take sex a lot more serious think because it Is them who will have to carry the baby." he said. "I do not think a male birth con- trol pill Is a good idea at all." females take Stacy Shapira. Junior 1PC major, thinks that a male birth control pill is a good Idea, but she agrees that It probably will not work. sex a lot "I have been in a relationship with a guy for almost a year and I trust my boyfriend com- more serious pletely, but I still would not have him take the Em." she said. "It is not that I would not tnisi lm with the pill, its Just that I would trust because it is myself a lot more." Shapira thinks that lemales are raised with more of a sense of responsibility concerning sex them who because females actually carry the baby. "Sometimes I think females are more careful because even though It takes two people to will have to make a baby you are only going to notice the girl who weighs a lot with a big belly," she said. Liz Robarge. Junior Journalism major, had carry the another outlook on the male birth control pill. "I do not think guys will take it because guys baby. are very self conscious when it comes to stuff like this." she said. "Without any research on the long term effects, 1 doubt any man will take the pill." Robarge does not think that the male birth control pill will ever replace or even come close to the female version. "Look at the female condom. Nobody uses that and the same will happen with this pill," she said. BALLOON BOUQUET Better Ingredients.

According to Jeannie Uidlow. Undergraduate Coordinator for American Culture Studies, the actions of our forefathers to their slaves and to native people created the social constrictions we now deal with. However, in the dawn of a new century are interracial couples becoming more socially acceptable? Interracial relationships are a topic of discord because "It's easy for peo- ple to react negatively to things they cannot identify with or don't under- stand" said one University staff member. A 28-year-old Caucasian male, he has been dating a Korean female for three years and recently became engaged. Since living in Bowling Green he has noticed that it is a nice quiet town with a conservative attitude. This attitude, he believes, leads to racial behavior. He hasn't recieved negative feedback personally but can recall several instances where his friends were "harassed just walking down the street to class." Conversely Kristopher Gutierrez, senior environmental science major, feels that ignorance is the reason behind racial or negative feedback to inter- racial relationships. Gutierrez is of a Hispanic background but has dated Caucasian females in the past with no negative reactions. However on the other side of the spectrum, one Caucasian University female stated that she's single right now because of a recent breakup with her African American boyfriend at home. "You'd think that in Cleveland people would have a more open minded approach to things. That's not necessarily true." she said. They had been dating for close to six months when pressures from their friends and family finally came to a head over break. Personal preferences and social norms arc still the orders of the day. Until an education or broadening of what is deemed normal is reached, tensions will never be relieved. "People are comfortable with what they know to be normal, said the female student and in the end what is considered normal are same-race relationships. Jeannie Ludlow shared these sentiments by saying that Interracial friend- ships and relationships are hampered by the historical facts._ These facts "limit the ability to fully understand and relate to one another." Although there were healthly relationships in the past. Ludlow stated that the ones that were cxploitivc "helped to establish the racist society" that we now live In. According to Ludlow. cultural change could not come about without his- torical change and that didn't happen until the laws preventing such rela- tionships were struck down in the 1970s. The legal aspect is only the first step though. Cultural attitudes are formed by historical actions. And until those actions are truly a thing of the past, culturally, what is different will still be subject to debate by those who aren't prepared for change. "People are comfortable with what they know to be normal."

So' if you have a large penis, you could certainly wear the Trojan Ribbed, just don't ejaculate as the pressure will probably cause the condom to explode like the Death Star at the end of Star Wars. For our next durability test we returned to the Class Act Ultra Thin and Sensitive. The sausage still snugly sacked away, we proceeded to twist and turn the meat stick, recreating the viscosity the condom would encounter when actually used for the ol' slap and tickle. Unfortunately the Class Ail snapped like Crispin Glover in a barroom brawl. Our ultimate durability test pitted the Shiek Ultra Tit In condom against the Class Act Ultra Thin and Sensitive. Whipping out two long, ripened bananas we slid them into the condoms. The bananas fit perfectly in each condom, but then came the real test. Tossing them on the floor and stomping on them like plates at a Greek Wedding, we found the Shiek to break quite easily, spilling chunky banana gut onto the floor while the Class Act held up for an additional two to three minutes before breaking. The final durability test compared the Trojan-ENZ brand and a Durex Ultra Thin. We placed a tomato in each condom and then topped it off with a fistful of light bulbs. The condoms each held the bulbs and tomatos and didn't brake until we tossed them on the ground. Absorption Our final area of testing revolved around absorp- tion. Kor those who've had painfully embarrassing spillage accidents, it's valuable to know just how much semen a condom can hold. So instead of wrapping yourself with a Bounty paper towel (it may be the quicker picker upper, but its porous surface does not bode well for ejaculate retention. Believe us. we speak from experience.) use a Trojan. In a comparison. Trojan handily beat Class Act. The Trojan gobbled up not only chocolate pud- ding, but extra creamy whipped cream. The Class Act's reservoir tip burst after a little bit of water was poured into It.
