Just Remember: Our STDs Come with Ivy League Credentials

Reported by soon-to-be contributor Ms.JudyButler @ Cornell...

“I, for one, am terrified for my sex life.”

Go figure.

On the same day Cornell's resident sex columnist Jenna B. laments contracting an STI by the name of L-O-V-E, we learn of a sudden syphilis outbreak.

Apparently Ithaca is not only home to hippies and their communes, but also nine cases of syphilis and counting. At least three of the cases are affiliated with Cornell -- so we can't blame it all on those dirty townies.

Unofficial calculations according to the Six Degrees of Hookup Separation Algorithm project that a quarter of the Cornell community now potentially has syphilis.

Talk about a compelling case for renewing the chastity belt. Any takers, Cornell Design League?

Until then, Gannett Health Services is offering free HIV and syphilis screening until May 15.
