Directors to vote on smoking ban in EMU
By Carrie Dennett
Emerald Reporter
Over the years, the KMU lias
gradually moved closer and
closer to becoming a non-smok
ing building, with the EMU
board of directors voting on
what could be the final step
next month
The EMU currently has three
smoking areas: the Skylight,
the Ballroom lobby and the
Recreation ('.enter
The board discussed recom
mendations on the non-smok
ing issue .it its Keb 7 meeting,
with the decision now down to
the choic e between making the
EMU a smoke-free building, or
to retain the Rec reation Center
as the only smoking area
The issue was originally to
have been voted on at the last
meeting, but was instead tabled
until the Mat 4 meeting
"We want more input from
students, to see what they want
for the EMU,” said board mem
her dreg English
The recommendation to con
tinue to allow smoking in the
Recreation Center came from
Sue Pedersen, recreation center
manager and EMC board mem
ber
"Smoking has always gone
along with pool and sociali/
ing.” she said
