The measure would allocate approximately $354,000 in stu dent fees at a cost of $6.87 a stu dent per term and $10.31 per term for law students. In previous years, students were able to request a refund if they de cided not to use the service. The measure doesn’t allow the option this year for two reasons. New student IDs no longer have stickers indicating current en rollment, and few students re quested the refund, ASUO Presi dent Bill Miner said. Measures would give more funding to DDS Two measures on the elections ballot will help fund the Designat ed Driver Shuttle next year. Ballot Measure 5 will increase student incidental fees by $1.06 per term and generate $50,000, which would allow DDS to run seven days a week. DDS public relations director Brandon Smith said local bars often have drink specials on nights DDS doesn't run. Currently, DDS runs Wednesday through Saturday. “Just about every Sunday or Monday night you’d be amazed how many people call us for a ride,” Smith said. Ballot Measure 10 would in crease student incidental fees by 47 cents per term to purchase a new 15-passenger van. “Friday nights are our busiest night, and we still have waits of up to 45 minutes,” Smith said. — Compiled by Kristina Hudinskas rttm ffrmmf1 IPWHJWl EkctiM April 22 &23 Your Vote Counts. Cast Your Ballot Smoking: Feedback shows residents support the ban ■ Continued from Page 1 “It really enhances our ability to turn over our apartments to new tenants," he said of the com ing changes. Gaddini estimated it can cost $400 to $600 more to clean a room that has been smoked in than one that has not. Rugs, blinds, doors and walls all need to be washed, scrubbed or repainted. “We’re talking about time when we could have people living in,” he said. Spencer View usually has a list of people waiting to get in, Gaddini said. “Our approach is just to say we don’t want to make any com ments about smoking, whether it’s good or bad for your health,” Gaddini said. In his research, Gaddini said he found some uni versities that banned smoking within 20 feet of the building and even charcoal, but that probably will not happen. Donahoe and Gaddini have each received feedback from resi dents. Donahoe said she has re ceived only support for the smok ing ban, while Gaddini said two people told him they opposed the changes. “Most people that live with us want to do the right thing," Gad dini said. “My gut feeling is most people will follow the rule.” Many residents already leave their apartments to smoke, Dona hoe and Gaddini said. “We want to make it where the residents win and we win,” Dona hoe said.
