“PROTECT YOUR PANTHER,” the logo reads on the “Condom Connection” safe-sex golf cart expected to be in service at City College for the spring semester. The specially designed golf cart donated by the Capitol City AIDS Fund to City College will provide condoms along with information on safe sex and sexually transmitted diseases.

At a World AIDS Day memorial event held Dec. 1 at Faces nightclub in midtown, City College Vice President of Instruction Mary Turner accepted keys to the golf cart on behalf of President Kathryn Jeffrey.

“The cart will be an engaging fun way to open up a discussion with our students on a serious topic that is not always easy to discuss,” Turner said.

The donation of the safe-sex cart was coordinated by students in City College Professor Patty Blomberg’s Human Sexuality class as part of their service learning project, according to Rick Brewer, public information officer for City College.

Student Associated Council President Sandeep Singh, who is also one of Blomberg’s students, said the inspiration for the service learning project came after a similar safe sex golf cart called the “Love Lab” was unveiled at UC Davis last spring.

“When Professor Blomberg showed us the cart and discussed it with us, it seemed like an interesting and important project,” Singh said.

For Elizabeth Pineda, another City College student who worked on the project in Blomberg’s class, being able to see the results of her and her classmate’s efforts was special. “It was great to be able to work on something important and see the final result.”

“Working together for an AIDS free generation” was the message delivered by area politicians and local community leaders, who spoke at the memorial event.

“Though [the safe-sex cart] might be a lighthearted way to get a message across, it is still a serious message about AIDS and other diseases that needs to get across,” said Loreen Willenberg, a long term HIV survivor and City College student.
