I am concerned. I have concerns for a lot of little, petty things, but after reading last week's story regarding the increase in the distribution of the Plan-B pill at Eastern, I am concerned for the health ofour campus. It was reported last week that the distribution of Plan-B pills at Health Services increased from two to j ULIA three times a week to 12 to 15 times per week.
