The bonus item serves as a way for La Nova Italian Kitchen and a local AIDS foundation to promote Condom Awareness Month.
Accompanied by literature containing information about HIV/AIDS prevention as well as hotline numbers, the condoms are given only to Rutgers students, who comprise about 80 percent of the restaurants customers.
Owners said following their distribution of more than 400 condoms, they have received many positive responses from students and pizza sales have increased by 20 percent.
The pizzeria hopes to distribute more than 2,000 condoms during the month.
Ohio University Interim Associate Provost for Information Technology Douglas Lawrence presented the Ohio University board with details of a proposal requiring students entering in the year 2000 to own personal computers.
Lawrence contends students need to own a computer to stop the problematic long lines at computer labs and prepare for jobs in which computer literacy is a necessity.
An Information Resource Council comprised of faculty and administrators has been created to look into the cost and benefits of the proposal.
Lawrence said possible ways to implement the plan would be raising tuition and supplying students with a computer or maintaining current tuition rates while letting the students take responsibility for obtaining a computer. The proposal will be voted on in April.
Administrators at Villanova University have sent letters to parents about potential problems associated with fraternity rush on campus.
The letters were sent to inform parents that three fraternities participating in the current rush season are not recognized as chapters because of their poor standing with Villanova.
University administrators say the letters are intended to warn parents of the "danger" students may encounter if they choose to rush these fraternities. Two of the three addressed fraternities are also unrecognized by the national chapters.
Although administrators have sent similar letters in the past, this mailing is the first in several years.
A University of Florida doctoral student is the first student to run for president of the United Faculty of Florida.
The union represents the faculty at 10 state universities, eight community colleges and several other institutions.
Marcus Harvey, the student candidate, contends he has more experience than his opponent - an education professor at the University of Central Florida - because he has been chief negotiator for the Graduate Assistants United, president of the University of Florida's GAU chapter and one of four UFF vice presidents for bargaining.
Harvey said the position would allow him to lobby for health care and stipends for graduate students - a group that comprises only 5,000 people of the 14,000 he would be representing with the presidency title.
