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."

Horoscope by Linda C. 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.
