Bonaventure class talks sex; students crave more

ST. BONAVENTURE (Mar. 25) -- A steady murmur of excited talk resonated among the students as they quickly filtered into the 432-seat auditorium of the John J. Murphy Professional Building.  At the front of the auditorium 13 fidgety students sat ready to present an informative discussion about sex to their peers. 

 Sophomore Carly Dell chose contraceptives as her topic for the plenary, a presentation which covered several different aspects of sex.  She became nervous as more people filed into the auditorium.

“I’m pretty sure I broke out in hives when I saw all the people who were showing up,” said Dell, a journalism and mass communication major.

Director's resignation from Health Services triggers idea for student wellness center

               ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (March 26) -- Ill students fill the waiting room in Doyle Hall looking for medical care so they can get well and get back to their daily routine. For sophomore Thomas Chulick visits to Health Services at St. Bonaventure tend to be frustrating because he has had to wait up to an hour and a half to see the nurse or doctor.

 “If I’m sick I’m more likely to go home and see my original physician since I only live an hour and a half away,” said Chulick.

Frustrated students have criticized Health Services, but Richard Trietley, vice provost for Student Life, said changes are being made.
