Condom vending machines have been installed in three locations on campus this week by the Student Senate AIDS Task Force to promote education and prevent the spread of the disease, task force members confirmed Tuesday.
The vending machines are located in both the male and female restrooms on the -first floors of EVK Residence Hall, Huor Tower and the Law Center. Another machine will be installed this week in a unisex bathroom in Marks Tower.
"Our most important goal is public awareness and education," said Mark Urata, Student Senate graduate speaker and a member of the task force in charge of machine selection and installation.
"There are condoms available on campus, but we wanted to be

able to offer a discrete manner in which students can purchase them 24 hours a day," Urata said.
"We're hoping to expand the service to different locations. It all depends on how much traffic we get," he said.
The machines dispense Trojan Condoms for 75 cents each. The AIDS Task Force will receive 30 percent of the profit from the sale of the condoms, Urata said.
"The purpose of the task force is to inform the student body about the issues," he said. "We are uniquely aware of the ignorance of AIDS on campus."

Bush faces uphill battle after Iowa, professors say
Gov. George Deukmejian has recommended increasing Cal Grant awards this fall to students attending private institutions in an attempt to alleviate the enrollment pressure currently faced by most public universities, the financial aid office disclosed Tuesday.
"The governor has recommended some sizable increases in the Cal Grant programs," said Cecilia Schonwe, associate director of financial aid. "One of the reasons for the increase was to try to minimize the overenrollment at public institutions."
The governor's recommendation calls for a 23.6 percent increase in Cal Grant A awards, raising the current S4,370 to $5,400 next year. A 19.2 percent increase is budgeted for the Cal Grant B award, increasing from $5,460 to $6,510 next year, Schonwe said.
The proposed increases, which must be approved by the state legislature, were released in the governor's 1988-89 state budget on Jan. 7.

Vice President George Bush's disappointing third-place finish in Monday's Iowa presidential caucus prompted several university professors to say he must do much better in the New Hampshire primary to stay alive in the presidential campaign.
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., who has criticized Bush's campaign and his alleged connection to the Iran-contra scandal, received the most votes in the Republican
caucus with 37 percent.
Former television evangelist Pat Robertson shocked many political analysts by placing second with a 25 percent share of the vote. Bush finished with 19 percent.
"Clearly Bush can recover, but his situation looks substantially worse than a week ago," said William Lammers, a political science professor and senior research associate at Andrus Gerontology Center.
"One of the things that willi>e interesting to watch will be the extent to which people who are anti-Robertson will jump to either the Bush or Dole side," he said.
Jonathan Aronson, an associate professor of international relations, said New Hampshire will be a major test for Bush, and the results of that caucus will determine whether he has what it takes to be the Republican front-runner.
"Bush ought to win, but if he loses in New Hampshire or has a poor showing, his candidacy is in trouble," Aronson said. "It is conceivable Dole could upset him."	*
Aronson said Robertson probably won't do as well in New Hampshire as in Iowa because Democrats in New Hampshire are not allowed to "cross over" and vote for a Republican candidate. In Iowa,
voters may vote either Democrat or Republican by registering the day of the caucus.
"Robertson appeals to a group that in many cases is Democratic," he said. "There was a lot of crossing over in Iowa."
Robertson may not win, but has the potential to sap the strength of Bush's troubled candidacy, said Herbert Alexander, a political science professor and director of the university's Citizen's Research Foundation. "I think Robertson will prove to be a spoiler on the Republican side the same way Jesse Jackson was in '84 on the Democratic side. He could hurt Bush and force (New York Rep. Jack) Kemp completely out of the race."
Michael Preston, a political science professor, said Bush's third-place finish probably won't kill him unless he does poorly in New Hampshire.
"If Bush gets damaged in New Hampshire, he will be in trouble," Preston said.
In the Democratic caucus, Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri received 28 percent of the vote, barely edging out Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis. Simon finished close behind with 24 percent, while Dukakis received 21 percent.
In New Hampshire, Dukakis is the odds-on favorite to win and the other candidates will compete for second place, Aronson said. "Dukakis has to win in (Continued on page 15)
