Condoir

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.

Koromex condoms sell for $1.89, while 12
fancy colored Fiesta condoms are $1.75.
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. Many feel they should be

r As far as giving out free condoms, the
s health educator said she has heard schools
g that widely distribute condoms on campus
have higher usage rates.
I "We live in a conservative state, so we
'n try to take a moderate role," she said.
The answer, Mohn said, is tying free
condoms to education.
But in the pharmacy, it looks as if free
condoms will not be in range anytime
c soon. Courtney said, "The day we get
them at no charge, will be the day we give
