Senior Josh Bodnar participates in the Condom Olympics as part of Safer Sex Week.

As a part of Safer Sex Week, the Office of Housing and Residence Life hosted the Condom Olympics Tuesday on the Christman Dining Commons Lawn.

In the Duck Pond game, students picked a duck from a small pool at random. Some ducks were labeled on the bottom with the name of an STD, and some were clean. Junior James Hayes said that the game made the topic of STDs more "socially approachable."

In another game, senior Josh Bodnar and sophomore Marie Meeks were some of the students who donned beer goggles while trying to apply a condom to a banana. "It's to teach you that it's harder to put a condom on when you're drunk," said Meeks.

Activities for remainder of the week include, a Sex Decision Maze today at 8 p.m. at the Cafaro Front Desk, 8:45 p.m. at the Lyden Front Desk and 9:15 p.m. at the Kilcawley Front Desk. Friday the Office of Housing and Residence Life will host a Spice of Life Party at 5 p.m. in the Cafaro Multi-Purpose Room.
