Condoir By GREG RICKABAUGH Assistant Photography Editor Condom sales in the USC Health Center Pharmacy are escalating because students are rushing to take advantage of low prices. The low prices save students as much as half the cost of condoms at drug stores off-campus. In fact, one type of condom in the pharmacy figures out to be 8 cents each. Chief pharmicist Mac Courtney attributes the increase of sales to word of mouth over the cheap prices. "On re voii see what thev eo few out of town, you'll see ? this is the place to get them," Courtney said.

The pharmacy has a large variety of condoms, ranging from the Mentor Magnum, a large size condom, to the Super Thin, a condom which advertises that it is more than 30 percent thinner than other condoms. Many places in the pharmacy can be seen with empty racks where a particular type of condom has sold out. "Some students come in and buy them by the hundreds," Courtney said. "If someone came in and wanted a thousand, I would cut him a special deal." But some students who come to the pharmacy are surprised they charge for condoms at all.
