They are exclusive organizations that the University does not recognize. Mainly, they are located on the top and bottom floor of Cabot Library and are made up of anal pre-meds who band together to study for their organic chemistry finals. There are also final clubs for microbiology, physics and government, though the government ones tend to involve a lot more noise and people dangling you from your legs while you are trying to sip tequila from a glass on the floor...
...example, has just released her first album, Taste This, a sampler of surprisingly retro stand-up routines (imagine, a comedian who still jokes about airplane food!). A funnier addition to the genre comes from Robert Schimmel (Robert Schimmel Comes Clean), whose X-rated ruminations on bodily functions and anal sex are redeemed by a relaxed, witty style reminiscent of early Carlin...
...tend to worry a lot more about the health hazards of anal sex than oral. Everybody knows, after all, that it's much easier for the virus that causes AIDS to cross the lining of the rectum than to infect someone through the mouth. Or is it? The surprising results of a study on rhesus monkeys published last week in Science not only suggest otherwise but also underscore how little scientists know about how, at the microscopic level, HIV spreads from one person to the next...
...what do these findings have to say about people? Exact correlations are impossible to make. SIV and HIV, although similar in many respects, are different viruses. And the scientists did not try to create the tiny tears in the lining of the rectum like those that are produced during anal sex and that increase the chance of HIV infection in humans. But generally speaking, the results support the idea that the number of HIV particles found in an infected man's semen--though not in the saliva--is sufficient to be passed on through the mouth or throat. One likely...
Public-health officials had already come to the same conclusion. A number of epidemiological studies have shown that anal sex was the principal means by which HIV spread through the homosexual community in the 1970s and '80s. More recently, however, as more and more gay men adopted "safer" sex techniques, reports began surfacing of people who had become infected with HIV even though they had engaged in oral sex only. Erring on the side of caution, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta added unprotected oral sex to the list of unsafe sex practices several years...
