What’s the deal?:
Trojan Condoms is taking its safe sex campaign on the road to college campuses. Syracuse University will get a visit from the black and gold Trojan bus as the Trojan Comedy Tour makes its way to Syracuse University today.
The tour will feature three stand-up comedy performances in the Schine Underground, as well as a tent that will be set up in the Quad, where condoms and information on safe sex practices will be handed out.
‘Condoms will be raining from the sky,’ said Brian Mueller, a senior television, radio and film major and University Union co-director of performing arts.
As sexually transmitted infections continue to plague college campuses across the nation, Mueller said that Trojan is coming to SU to raise awareness of safe sex practices.
The Trojan Immersion Zone will be set up on the Quad throughout the afternoon. In previous years, the tent that Trojan brought to college campuses was usually in the shape of a penis or condom. The Immersion Zone includes a virtual experience sex-ride aimed to help educate students about safer sex practices.
The Trojan Comedy Tour has also visited the University of Maryland, College Park, University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Connecticut.
