But Imtiaz, the computer con- sultant, said that this explanation does not mirror his experience working in the Fishbowl. "Justfrom workinghere, I'll tell you, I see way more often that the Macs have some really random error," he said. "With the PCs we have very fewproblems like that." He said that sometimes the Mac computers freeze and people askhim how they canretrieve their work. "And I have to tell them, well you can't, you're screwed," he said. But the culture war between Mac and PC has gone beyond the actual usability ofteither operating system to become the "West Side Story" of the technological age. And when you're a Mac, you're a Mac all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day. When you're a Mac, you stay a Mac. - JACOB SMILOVITZ SEXUAL UNION From Page 5B He said men should also moni- tor changes in their genitalia and men who engage in anal inter- course with men should consult their physician about how often to get tested. In general, everyone should be aware that there is no "test for everything." One is assessed on a case-by-case basis, so be forth- coming with UHS and don't be afraid to ask questions about your status. Of course, the traditional rec- ommendations still apply: wrap it up. At the same time, negotiating safe sex isn't always easy and our protective measures don't always occur in a vacuum. Men must nav- igate safe sex practices while also being mindful of the pace of their relationship with their partners. Sometimes a well-intentioned safety precaution may appear to be presumptuous to a partner who is not yet ready to have sex. On the flip side, traditional ideas about women's sexuality are still pervasive. A woman who carries condoms or other forms of barrier protection in her clutch on a Friday night runs the risk ofbeing labeled promiscuous and the costs for sexual stigmatization can be enormous. In spite oftall this, Winfield said, "The evidence is compelling to make the choice to carry contra- ceptives on your person and to tell the truth when your partner asks you about your STI status." Students may come to campus armed with little sex education, but the University provides some resources in the realm of sexual- ity to help make up for the sexual deficit. SAPAC is an organization affili- ated with the Division of Student Affairs that provides "counseling, advocacy and educational training services" on the issue of sexual vio- lence. The University's Education The- atre Troupe is a student-based the- ater company within the Office of New Student Programs that stages performances targeting campus issues for students transitioning to college life. Their summer ori- entation program includes skits on sexual health, sexual choices and sexual assault. The Spectrum Center, until recently called the office of LGBT Affairs, is a reservoir of informa- tion in the form of books on sexu- ality. Students and faculty at the center are also available to listen to the sexual or gender identity con- cerns ofstudents. But all the campus resources one would want aren't worth anything if students aren't aware of them. LSA senior Matt Hunter, who is the father of a 3 year old, said he had a difficult time locating cam- pus resources to help him with the realities of STDs and the long-term implications of not using contra- ception. "Education on application is not the University's greatest showing," Hunter said. "Not a lot of informa- tion is visible. Had I not actively pursued the sexual resources avail- able on campus, I would not have known they existed." Meanwhile, LSA senior Jeanelle" Bediako said it seems the Universi- ty's focus on sex education revolves mostly around women. "I think the information is geared towards women instead of men," Bediako said. "At manyof the events, such as the sexuality pre- sentations organized by residents in Stockwell hall that were open to the public my freshman and sopho- more year, it was always all women, and maybe they can work harder on getting the word out to men." It seems even at the University the sentiment persists that col- lege students are "in the know" about sex, leaving children as the only members of society for whom sexuality education and discussion should be actively cultivated. But it's important to remember, if the right sex edu- cation doesn't occur for students before they come to campus, they are just as clueless. "The information Ihave received thus far is exactly what I have encountered in my high school con- text," LSA freshman Libby Ashton said. "Coming to college, I thought it would have progressed." Perhaps a 1-credit course, "Sex Ed: What you really should have been taught," is the prescription. -Rose Afriyie is The Michigan Daily's sex and relationships columnist.
