Question:\nI am a 22-year-old female. I've never had sex with a guy. I've been to a gynecologist three times and just recently started using tampons. Is it possible for me to have broken my hymen and not know it? I've penetrated with fingers, but have never felt any kind of resistance and yet don't think I've gone all the way in. I'm asking because I have a female partner, and I would like her to be able to "take my virginity." We are in a long-distance situation right now and haven't had sex yet, and it's not like I could just be like, "Hey honey, is my hymen still there?" Also, what is the safest way for her to break my hymen if it is still intact? \nAnswer:\nVirginity is a complex thing to think about, mainly because there's no one definition that everyone agrees on. Usually we think of someone being a virgin if they've never "had sex" -- however, what does that really mean? Research has shown, for example, that college students have a wide range of definitions of "having sex." For some people, you're a virgin until you've had penile-vaginal intercourse. But if that's true, does that mean that men who have only had sex with other men are still virgins too? And what about women who have only had sex with women?\nThen there are the self-proclaimed virgins who have never had vaginal or anal intercourse, but they have tons of oral sex. Alternatively, some women who believe that virginity means abstaining from vaginal intercourse choose to have anal intercourse instead. \nThe confusion continues -- some say it's only sex if someone has an orgasm. Others say it's only sex if it was good or lasted a certain amount of time. \nThe point of discussing the complexity of virginity it to illustrate that if you have never had sex before (whatever "sex" means to you), then your female partner can "take your virginity" regardless of whether your hymen is still in tact. Having an intact hymen isn't a sign of virginity even though it used to be considered as such. \nA hymen is a relatively thin layer of blood tissue that partly covers the vaginal opening. How thin or thick it is varies among women, as does how little or how much it covers your vaginal entrance. Since you've had gynecological exams, used tampons and have penetrated your vagina with fingers, it's clearly not covering your vaginal entrance all that much. \nIf you're up for seeing your gynecologist again soon, you could ask her how much of your hymen remains and how thick it appears. But don't be surprised if there is little to no hymen left -- occasionally, girls are born that way. Other times, the hymen tears a little at a time because of various penetrative kinds of things like self-masturbation, mutual masturbation, tampon use and pelvic exams. In other words, you can absolutely "break" your hymen without ever knowing it.\nThere are no real safety issues to be concerned about in regard to breaking your hymen if indeed it's still intact. If you're concerned you might feel some discomfort or pain with penetration, go slowly or add a store-bought lubricant such as Astroglide, Wet or KY Jelly. If you're worried about getting blood on your sheets, buy some darker colored sheets or throw a towel over your bed. That's about all there is to it.\nThe bottom line is that if you want your partner to take your virginity, it doesn't really matter what anyone else's definition of virginity is and it doesn't even matter if your hymen is still there. You're planning to have a new sexual experience with your partner, and you can honor it and make the experience special in any way that makes sense to you.

Question:\nHow much is enough? I was wondering how to take care of the hair down there on my vulva. I like to keep it well maintained but I don't like the ingrown hairs which come from shaving. What is it "supposed" to look like and how much should it be shaved?\nAnswer:\nYou've asked the questions many women (and men) are trying to figure out: What, if anything, should be done with pubic hair?\nThe fact that you asked what it's "supposed" to look like sounds like you're concerned about what others (maybe potential sexual partners?) think about your pubic hair. While it's kind to care about your partner's preferences, perhaps the more important consideration is what you want your pubic hair to look and feel like. After all, you're the one who has to live with your pubic hair and this can be a particularly sensitive issue if you're prone to itchiness or ingrown hairs, like you mentioned. Why be uncomfortable? \nSex therapist Dr. Ian Kerner, in his book "She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman" writes about the diversity of pubic hair styles that women and men like, and reminds men to remember and respect that a woman's style choice is her decision, and hers only. The same is true for men and their pubic hair; with the rise of the "metrosexual" men, more men are interested in shaving, waxing and trimming their pubic hair, too.\nBrazilian bikini waxes typically refer to total hair removal, though sometimes a "landing strip" of hair is left. If you go all the way, you can count on a very hands-on experience as you and your stylist work to hold your various bits in place while she rushes on the waxes, lays on the strips and pulls it away. If you decide to shave your pubic hair, one way to reduce your risk of razor burn is to shave in the same direction that your pubic hair grows (which is opposite of how most women shave their legs).\n"The Vagina Monologues," by Eve Ensler, includes sad, funny and poignant stories about women's genitals, including some mentions of pubic hair shaving. Until recently, women and men kept their pubic hair pretty much in its natural, unshaved state with the exception of removing hair that fell outside bikini line. Lately, though, women in adult films (both "porn" and sex education films) often have little to no pubic hair. \nCelebrities like Denise Richards and Gwyneth Paltrow have openly discussed their salon waxing adventures, and Jessica Simpson has announced that she takes care of her own (though she's mum on her chosen style) rather than have a stranger see her "wawa," as she put it. Waxing has also been featured on "Sex and the City" and in women's magazines.\nHowever, not all women (or their partners) are on board with removing so much hair. Many women and men find it strange to imagine that some men want women to completely remove their pubic hair. Why make a grown woman's vulva look like that of a prepubescent child? Where is the concern for the time, financial cost and possibly physical pain that women may have to go through to achieve this child-like vulva? And what exactly is appealing or sexy to so many men (and some women) about a hairless, prepubescent-looking vulva? These are questions that sex researchers are beginning to ask, and that I'd encourage you to consider as well when you consider how much, for you, is enough (or too much).\nOne woman in "The Vagina Monologues" speculates about the cushioning effect of pubic hair, and some researchers have wondered what happens to pheromones when women remove so much pubic hair (as of now, we don't know!). The only person who can decide how much of your very personal and private hair should be trimmed, shaved, axed or otherwise removed is you. And if you decide to remove some or all of your hair, check out "The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health" by Dr. Elizabeth Stewart and Paula Spencer, where you can read about a variety of hair removal techniques as well as factors that may make it wiser for you to choose one method over another.\nBe among the first to see the new film "Kinsey," starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney, this Saturday at the IU Auditorium.

An IU employee was arrested in July by the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Abuse Task Force on three felony drug charges at his Bloomington home, according to a statement Indiana State Police Trooper Jon Patrick gave in a Monroe County Court affidavit. \nJohn "Jack" Kenealy let police officers into his home July 29 where they found methcathinone and the means to make the drug in Kenealy's residence, according to Patrick's statement. The account detailed how Kenealy willingly showed the officers around his residence and how he made the drugs. \nIndiana State Police Detective Mark Parker said Kenealy claimed to be making the drug for personal use only.\nKenealy was then arrested and transported to the Monroe County Jail. \nAccording to Monroe County Court documents, Kenealy is charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a drug precursor. He entered a not guilty plea and his trial is slated for Dec. 7. Kenealy's bond was set at $500 with a $20,000 surety, which he posted.\nLeonard Butler, an electrician for IU, said Kenealy was a night operations supervisor at the time he was arrested. He said Kenealy was responsible for tasks like emergency maintenance on campus, addressing issues such as broken water mains or power outages.\nButler said Kenealy is still employed at IU, though he is now working on a day shift. \nAccording to the Indiana Prevention Resource center, methcathinone, also known as "cat" or "goob," is a relatively easy-to-manufacture controlled substance. It has similar effects as methamphetamine and crack cocaine, including stimulation of heart rate and respiration and a feeling of euphoria. Studies suggest it is as addictive as crack cocaine and that the addiction is as hard to break.\nThe Bloomington area has seen two fires resulting from clandestine methcathinone labs, both in 1995.\nIn January of 1995, the explosion and resulting fire of a lab killed one man, severely burned another and destroyed 11 condominium units valued at over $1 million.\nA fire in a public housing apartment in May of 1995 is alleged to have the same cause.

If The Princeton Review is to be believed, the party at IU is beginning to die. \nIU fell to the No. 15 party school in the nation according to the publication's 2005 list of "The Best 357 Colleges," but did manage to land the No. 5 spot in the "Lots of Beer" ranking.\nIU received what administrators saw as negative national attention when the school was ranked the top party school in the country in 2002. In 2003, The Princeton Review ranked IU No. 3 for parties.\nSusan Williams, assistant director of IU Media Relations, said she was glad to see IU drop from the top ten party schools in the nation but questioned the validity of the ranking. \n"We're quite happy not to be in the top ten," she said, "but I'm not sure we should have been there in the first place."\nIU Police Department Lt. Jerry Minger also raised concerns about The Princeton Review's rankings.\n"If you read how they put their data together, you realize that it's pretty much junk research, junk data," he said.\nDean of Students Richard McKaig said his department doesn't give much credence to the survey either.\n"We have a saying in the office, we take everything seriously about alcohol except The Princeton Review," he said.\nIU-Bloomington Interim Chancellor Ken Gros-Louis said he did not believe the drop in ranking was because of any efforts on the part of IU because the publication lacked credibility.\n"I've always been mystified by the methodology used by The Princeton Review, so I don't know the statistical significance of dropping from the top ten," he said.\nMcKaig said he agreed that the methodology is questionable. \n"Their methodology is so unclear that you cannot intentionally move yourself either way," he said. \nBut McKaig said there are new alcohol abuse-resistance programs in place that are helping to reduce the problem on campus. The most significant of which, he said, is the addition of Alcohol Counselor Walt Keller.\nWilliams said while IU does have drinking problems, it is not unique among universities in that regard.\nMcKaig said Keller meets with students who have been caught violating University alcohol policies, whether in the dorms or elsewhere. \n"This is more of a help to students than to just be punitive," he said. "There are huge drinking problems on every campus; it's not something that students should be proud of. It is, however, a small part of campus life." The Princeton Review is a publicly-traded company not affiliated with Princeton University. Though its party school ranking is one of the most famous aspects of its yearly publication "The Best 357 Colleges," the company ranks colleges on 64 issues, including academics, politics, quality of life and extracurricular activities.\nIU also ranked No. 16 for "Great College Newspaper." The State University of New York at Albany took IU's former spot as the No. 1 party school, while Washington and Lee University and University of Wisconsin at Madison took second and third, respectively.

In its annual ranking of the nation's top colleges and universities, U.S. News & World Report recognized the IU Kelley School of Business and many of its specialty programs among the best undergraduate programs in the nation.\nAmong public and private undergraduate schools of business, the Kelley School was tied with the University of Illinois for 11th in the nation. Only the University of Michigan's undergraduate business program ranked higher than IU among Big Ten schools.\nDaniel C. Smith, interim dean of the Kelley School, said he believes the rankings clearly position the school as one of the country's elite programs and that will greatly benefit the students.\n"The best companies focus their recruiting efforts on a select group of schools," Smith said. "By being highly ranked in all major areas, our students will continue to have a wide range of attractive career opportunities."\nJames Wimbush, the chair of the Kelley Department of Management, said the rankings are viewed favorably by the Kelley staff.\n"(The rankings) provide affirmation that we are being recognized by our colleagues, and they suggest that we are thought highly of by our colleagues," Wimbush said.\nWimbush believes the published rankings affect the considerations students make and that prospective faculty may also take the rankings into consideration.\nThey want to be at a place that is highly regarded by colleagues, he added, though he did not believe they would weigh rankings as much as students would.\nThe magazine ranked specialty programs provided by universities in subcategories. Eight of Kelley's programs were ranked among the top 10 in the nation, including management, which ranked fifth; entrepreneurship, finance, marketing and operations management, which were all ranked seventh; accounting, which was ranked eighth; and management information systems and supply chain management, which were both ranked ninth.\nSmith said the school is in the process of organizing a task force that will review the entire undergraduate experience as a way to remain a leader in program innovation.\n"I have a high degree of confidence in our faculty to develop programs today that will be bench-marked by other schools in the future," Smith said.\n"The rankings influence students' decisions to come to Indiana instead of other institutions," Wimbush said. "They want to be places where the faculty is highly regarded."\nJessica Togut, a senior business major with a concentration in marketing, is one such student. Originally from California, the high-ranking business school attracted her to IU.\n"I really liked the courses that they offered, the closeness that the professors seem to have with the students and the closeness that the administration has in planning your academic schedule," Togut said.\nTogut also said she enjoys both feeling challenged and the group work at Kelley. She gave the school a favorable rating for imitating real life experiences.\nSmith gave credit for the school's ranking to its faculty, which he described as "the most gifted and passionate teachers in the country." He said there is a high level of enthusiasm among the students and the faculty.\n"A prospective student would feel that (Kelley) is a place where career dreams become reality," Smith said. \nIn overall academic rankings, IU fell three spots among public universities, from 27th to 30th, and four spots among all universities, from 67th to 71st, tying with Michigan State as the lowest rated school in the Big Ten.\nThe Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses were given good grades for the quality of educational experiences for first year students and promoting learning communities.\nThe Bloomington campus was cited for its efforts "to encourage writing at all levels and in all disciplines" and for its study abroad programs.\nThe Indianapolis campus was recognized for promoting community volunteerism in education.

High school students did better on the ACT in 2004 than they did in the previous year, raising the national average by one-tenth of a point to 20.9 out of 36, according to a recent study by ACT Inc., the group that administers the test. \nAlthough the college prep test and its SAT counterpart play a role in admission to Indiana University, Admissions Officer Mary Ellen Anderson said scores from neither test are the deciding factor in gaining admission.\n"We look much more carefully at course work in high school and how it applies to the student's major than test scores," Anderson said.\nAccording to the Office of Admissions' Web site, the students who entered IU in the fall of 2003 had an average ACT score of 24.\nAnderson said IU accepts scores from both the ACT and SAT tests, and she encourages prospective students to take both tests because they are constructed differently. However, each test is popular in different states.\n"Indiana is, for the most part, an SAT state," Anderson said, "which is interesting because, for the most part, the states surrounding us are ACT states."\nFreshman Jonathan Klein of Wayne, N.J., said he simply took the SAT because that's the test everyone around him was taking. \n"It's a regional difference," said Klein's father, Robert, as they shopped for textbooks in the Indiana Memorial Union. "In New Jersey, the guidance counselors don't provide information about the ACT."\nThe ACT's Web site lists only 6 percent of high school graduates in New Jersey as ACT test-takers.\nAnderson said the Office of Admissions doesn't weigh the tests too heavily because they are not looking for a specific score but at the overall ability of the student. Anderson said in some circumstances the student could have high grades and taken full advantage of the curriculum his high school offered but may be a poor test-taker.\n"I don't think (the ACT) was a fair judge of academic ability," said freshman Devon Goudge. \nGoudge said she did worse on the test than some of her friends who she normally did better than in class and vice versa.\n"My scores and my friends' scores were all over the place," she said.\nThe study also mentioned that while men tended to score higher on the math and science portions, women scored higher on the English and reading portions.\nFreshman Hollie Savitt said she chose to take the ACT because the subjects emphasized on that test are different from the SAT. \n"I actually thought it was really easy," she said.

Students, faculty and residents will all see an increase in funding for research at IU thanks to the Lilly Endowment and government grants.\nIU announced it will receive $413 million to support its research efforts on all eight campuses in a statement earlier this month, breaking the school record for the most research funding. That shattered the previous record of $397 million, set during fiscal year 2001.\nThe Bloomington campus will receive about $124 million, which includes a significant increase in funding for the College of Arts and Sciences. With that, IU will garner the most external public and private research funding for an academic institution in the state.\nVice President for Research Michael A. McRobbie said the increased funding will be noticeable immediately.\n"The actual expenditures for awards made in fiscal year 2004 will mostly take place in fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2005," McRobbie said. "Grant funding is awarded for a specific time frame, and that usually consists of a year or less. Nonetheless, the project funding period is usually independent of the dates of the fiscal year." \nThe research funds, which come from 768 individual awards, will be divided within IUB in an elaborate process, McRobbie said. Still, the sponsors of the grants determine where to distribute much of the money. \n"The (funds) will be allocated to the specific projects that were awarded by the sponsors rather than to a school or department," he said.\nMcRobbie said the research funds come from various sources rather than from one big donor or sponsor. Of the $413 million in sponsored project funds awarded to IU, 54 percent came from federal agencies, 16 percent from foundations and non-profits, 13 percent from industry, 11 percent from various Indiana agencies, and the remainder from sub-awards from other universities and other miscellaneous sponsors. \nHistorically, McRobbie said some of IU's major sponsors have included the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Lilly Endowment.\nThe Lilly Endowment, created in 1937 by Eli Lilly and Company, has consistently provided IU with millions of dollars in funding for research.\nIU is the biggest recipient for research in contrast to the state's other schools, said Gretchen Wolfram, communications director for the Lilly Endowment.\n"Research grants are given in an effort to encourage IU and the other state universities to grow their strengths substantially, which help grow top-notch programs (and) attract top-notch students to then spur economic growth in the state," Wolfram said.\nHe said $105 million was given to the Indiana Genomics Initiativein 2000, which included funding for the School of Medicine, the School of Informatics and the life sciences programs, which were used in the fiscal year 2003.\nMcRobbie said the research funds will play a major role in supporting programs and initiatives for IU.\n"Sponsored funding for research and service projects represents a significant portion of IU's overall budget," he said. "This funding serves to augment internal funding available to support research by faculty and students. It plays a critical role in being able to provide educational opportunities and research assistantships to students, particularly graduate students." \nMcRobbie said the funding directly benefits both the students and faculty.\n"The fact that IU provides support and encouragement to faculty in applying and obtaining such funding ultimately plays a large part in IU's ability to attract and retain some of the very best and brightest faculty and graduate students to Indiana University"

Brynn Bergin's favorite thing to do was hold puppies.\n"She loved to go to the pet store and play with the animals," Bergin's father, Michael, said. "When she was little we took her to the Humane Society to look at the animals, and she cried when we left because we couldn't take one home."\nBergin, a 20-year-old IU student who would have been a sophomore at IU, was killed in a car accident Aug. 7. The 2003 graduate of Mishawaka High School had been visiting friends in Michigan when her car went off the road and hit two trees. Bergin died at the scene.\n"I just want to say to all of the kids out there, just slow down a little bit," Michael Bergin said.\nHe said his daughter was what every parent would want if they had a daughter - the perfect mix of princess and tom-boy. \n"She played hockey, but as soon as she was finished the first thing she had to do was brush her hair," he said.\nAt Mishawaka High School, where the volleyball team has dedicated its season to her memory, Bergin had been popular -- a cheerleader and the Homecoming queen.\n"She wasn't perfect," Michael Bergin said. "She had an Abercrombie carpet because she never picked up, and she was stubborn. But in a good way. She knew what she wanted and had a lot of drive."\nMichael Bergin said his daughter made good grades in her pre-med focused classes and wanted to become a doctor.\n"She originally wanted to be a vet but decided to help people instead," he said. "I'm sure she would have."\nBergin's ambition came in handy when she was escorting a mentally handicapped family friend to his prom. \n"She made sure he had a great time," Brynn's father said.\nBergin's big heart didn't stop with people. Her father said she always had scratches and cuts from trying to catch wild animals she'd befriended. During the family's recent trip to Florida, she taught her younger cousins to catch frogs.\nBergin was active around campus, attending football and basketball games and had recently joined the Alpha Phi sorority.\n"It came as a huge shock," said senior Karrie Stine, vice president of operations for Alpha Phi. "It's made a huge impact on all of our members."\nSophomore Sara Pallone was in Bergin's pledge class and lived with her in McNutt.\n"She was so outgoing," Pallone said. "She loved to meet new people. You never saw her without a smile on her face."\nStine said the sorority is meeting to plan a memorial service for Bergin but that the event won't occur for a few weeks, since the chapter wants to give the family time before inviting them to Bloomington.\nMichael Bergin said he and his wife Cari, as well as Brynn's three brothers, planted a tree in a local park in her memory and a scholarship is being established in her name. But nothing make up for her family's loss.\n"She was really fun," Michael said, "just a whole lot of fun"
