SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. (World News) -- Students at a Pennsylvania university can obtain the "morning-after" pill from an unusual source - a vending machine at the campus health center.
The vending machine at Shippensburg University's Etter Health Center provides the Plan B emergency contraceptive along with condoms, decongestants and pregnancy tests.
Vice President for Student Affairs Roger Serr says the machine was installed after a request from the student association and a survey found 85 percent of student respondents supported it.
Plan B is available without a prescription to anyone 17 or older.
The drug isn't covered or subsidized by the school. Instead it is supplied for $ 25, the school's cost to the pharmaceutical company and less than at off-campus pharmacies.
Shippensburg is a school of about 8,300 students about 125 miles west of Philadelphia.

Adopted at birth on Feb 24, 1955, Jobs grew up in Cupertino, California. As a teenager, he phoned William Hewlett, president of Hewlett-Packard, to request parts for a school project. He got them, along with an offer of a summer job at HP. Jobs was a College dropout, leaving Oregon's Reed College after only one semester. He quit one of his first jobs, designing video games for Atari, to backpack across India. Those experiences, Jobs said later, shaped his creative vision.
