SMOKING continued from page 1 many complaints from people within the building claiming that "smoky air" is getting inside. One of the problems causing this is the wind tunnel that occurs when the front and rear doors of the atrium are open at the same time. Stephanie Letson, a sophomore business administra tion major and a smoker, said she wouldn't mind if smokers had to be more than 10 feet away from the building entrance "I think it would be fine because if I'm not smoking, I don't like the smell of it," she said. She said that if the distance is extended, she worries about being able to smoke around the library. She would like to see benches installed beyond the smok ing barrier so that smokers have a place to enjoy a ciga rette while they are on a study break. Most buildings around campus have smoking posts near them for the disposal of cigarettes, but Facilities Services Exterior Team Supervisor Tim King said all new posts are being installed farther away than before because of the possible rule change. "We don't want to put them by the front door or by a non-smoking area," King said, adding that there are about 10 posts on campus right now, and another 20 to 30 will be installed very soon. The idea for the smoking posts came from problems with open ashtrays, King said. The ashtrays had drainage difficulties, and in rainy weather they made a "nicotine soup" that looked and smelled horrible. Posts were also installed to prevent littering of ciga rette butts, he said. "I'm not trying to change behavior; I'm putting them where we see a lot of (cigarette) butt accumulation on the ground," he said. "I'm trying to prevent litter." He added that he is looking at this problem from a sanitation standpoint, whereas Staight is looking at it from a health standpoint. Staight said she hopes the Advisory Board will be able to change the smoking distance regulation of the Oregon Administrative Rules because they are very out dated and state that staff can smoke in their offices. One route the board is taking to change the rule is by planning several discussions with departments and organizations on campus that deal with enforcement. Board members also plan to discuss smoking with incoming freshmen, distribute information about it in University literature and incorporate it into new em ployee orientation. They plan to use these methods to educate the campus about the distance rule as well, if it gets extended. Staight is also working with the board to eliminate des ignated smoking entrances on campus, and she added that smokers generally don't want to push their smoke onto others who don't want to smell it. "We just want to protect people's health," she said. 'The ultimate goal is to be a smoke-free campus." Contact the crime/health/safety reporter at iisacatto@dailyemerald.com.

Black TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You're as stubborn this year as any one could possibly be. Hold out for top dollar, and don't waste it once you get it. You'd hate yourself in the morning. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a 7 _ Don't be alarmed, but there are some important changes taking place. For the next several weeks you'll be more interested in making money. Taurus (April 20-May 20) _ Today is an 8 _ It may take a while for the news to sink in, but you're getting much luckier. For the next several weeks you'll find that it's easier to get your way. Gemini (May 21-June 21) _ Today is a 5 _ The consequences of your actions must be faced before you proceed. That simply means tallying up your wins and losses. It's good to keep score. Cancer (June 22-July 22) _ Today is an 8 _ It never hurts to have strong friends, and you fall into that category for some people. You'll find yourself forgetting past difficulties while in their company. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 6 _ Over the next few days you'll be asked to help others make big deci sions. Your wisdom is being acknowl edged. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is a 7 _ You'll soon find yourself wanting to get away for a change of scenery. The odds are good you'll be able to break away. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a 7 _ There's been a lot of excitement over the past few weeks, but now it's time to get back to the paperwork, the bills and the shopping lists. You have some decisions to make. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is a 7 _ You're entering a new phase that will find you in the passenger seat. By encouraging another to make tough decisions, you could get a free ride. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is a 6 _ A fanciful scheme is likely to bomb. Don't test it quite yet. Input that you get from an expert tomorrow can show you where to make the correction. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is a 7 For the next several weeks you should allow yourself more pam pering. Don't keep racing off to man age emergencies. Let others do that, starting now. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 7 _ Slow down and take it easy. You've just about worn yourself out. You'll want to spend more time at home during the next few weeks, and that's a sensible idea. Don't fight it. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is an 8 _ You may get so involved in a new subject that you forget to worry about all the stuff that was on your mind a few days ago. That would be all right. 130 CARS/TRUCKS/CYCLES 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T, white, 30K, fully loaded, auto, V8, lots of custom features. $14,500 OBO 210-2244 145 COMPUTERS/ELECTRONICS 2 Stanton DD 8-80 Turntables w/ 2 mixing boards and vinyl. $450/obo.
