Health service to distribute
condoms
By LISA POLLAK
Controversy will not keep
condoms from being distributed to
students next fall as a method of
AIDS prevention, maintains
University Health Service Director
Caesar Briefer, despite opposition
from the University's Board of
Regents at their July meeting.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann
Arbor) criticized condom distribution
by proposing an amendment to a
UHS budget request forbidding
condom and dental dam distribution
on campus during the September 22
Safe Sex Awareness Day.
Although he retracted t h e
proposal after a warning from
University President Harold Shapiro,
Baker said "it's in poor taste to give
away condoms. I don't agree that (it)

Not only did campus security guards have their
hands full with drunkards and vandals during the Ann
Arbor Art Fairs last week, but they also had to contend
with a group of jugglers on the Diag.
Citing a law which prohibits performances on the
Diag, University public safety officials repeatedly asked
members of Ann Arbor's Jugglers Club to leave Uni-
versity property last Friday. The jugglers refused to
move, saying that since they weren't drawing a crowd
and weren't soliciting money, they had a right to stay
put.
"I practice here and have been practicing here on a
regular basis for two hours a day for 15 years and there
has never been a problem with security. I think it's to-
tally ridiczlous - with their lack of ability to enforce
street people fighting and people drinking," said juggler
and University graduate Paul Kyprie.
However, University Director of Public Safety Leo
Heatley said, the security guards were just following
orders. "Vice President (of Student Affairs) Henry
Johnson asked us to keep the performers off the Diag,"
Heatley said. He declined to comment further on the
issue.
Juggler Michael Fergeson said, "The fundamental
question is whether what we are doing is right or
wrong. We're not taking money, and we're not trying
to draw a crowd."
Last Friday, after unsuccessfully attempting to re-
move the jugglers, security summoned the Ann Arbor
police. The jugglers still refused to move, even though
the officers threatened to arrest them.
Ann Arbor police officer Frank Finken, one of the
patrollers called in to remove the jugglers, said he
sympathized with the jugglers. "We don't purposely go 4
through and bother the jugglers. We got a call from
security and we're just following up."
