"The university is not allowing us to choose birth con­ -Ronald Miranda, sophomore, trol for ourselves." nursing According to the director of the Student Health Education Pro­ gram, Melissa Kenzig, the student clinic, as well the student health center, do not provide contraceptives because the university is affili­ ated with the Catholic Church, and the Church does not believe in using birth control. Stephanie Tarczy, a nurse practitioner at the USF student health clinic, said she can refer students to other clinics in San Francisco, such as the Women's Community Clinic, to get contraceptives or pre­ scriptions for birth control. Tarzcy thinks birth control is a "main concern" among college stu­ dents, and she said she always advises safe sex for men and women. Although people at the student health center cannot actually hand out condoms, they can talk to students about birth control and safe sex and help them find a place off-campus where they can get an­ swers. "I think students who are sexually active need to respect their bodies and their partners, and take responsibility for their sexuality," Kenzig said. Having access to contraceptives on campus might be a convenience for some students, but Director of University Ministry Fr. John Savard said he's "not convinced that the university needs to be distributing birth control." Savard said that people are educated, and if they choose "No. I think that if students to use birth control, they know of other places to go. choose to seek out birth control, Resident Advisor Maureen Thompson admits that some students they can always go to a clinic or are not necessarily educated and would behave more responsibly if even their own medical expertise they had easier access to contraceptives.

Not everybody is Catholic, and it is their obligation to help regardless of religion."

The band rocks out on songs like "Always On My Mind" and "Nobody's Fault," despite the occasional overflow of sentimentality on other tracks. Last week, band members Darren Robinson (guitar) and Jacques Brautbar (guitar, vocals) gave me a glimpse of life in a band on the verge of fame: selling out, "making it," and, above all else, groupies.
