At ASG meeting
Budget blues, smokeless sectors discussed
Dominating the “committee
reports” section'of the meeting
was a report from the “no-
smoking” committee. Assistant
to the President Joe Schweizer
is on that committee and
predicted big changes in the
near future.

Fear of the budget being
bombed, anticipation over the
annual ASG elections and
plans to stomp out smoking (in
selected sectors) dominated
last week’s student government
meeting.
A survey was taken last term
by the committee to see how
the student body would react to
a “no smoking” area.
“The survey went about
3-to-l, non-smokers to
smokers,” said Schweizer. The
results: as of next term, tobac-
co may be taboo in designated
sectors around campus.
The new section of the
cafeteria, now under construc­
tion, will be such an area. The
ASG and chief chef Norm
Grambusch have been con­
sulted with, and have agreed
on the suggestion.
Other suggested abstinence
areas will include the Linus
Pauling
Center.
Said
Schweizer, “The entire science
building will be ‘no ‘smoking.’
It’s an administrative policy,
due to explosive chemicals be­
ing used there. Also, there’ll be
no SerVomation machines.”
Other no-Smoking areas will
be the Community Center’s
Fireside Lounge (during perfor­
mances only) and Clairmont’s
lounge^

“We’re not sure yet about
Clairmont,” said the vice pr6si-
dent. “To put fans in the
lounge would take massive
structural changes, filters and
such. We’re looking into
‘smokeless ashtrays,’ to be
mounted on the tables. We’ll
have to check on the financial
aspect of that, though.”
Schweizer said the commit-,
tee will also ask the ASG for
$100 to purchase [six dozen
signs. “They’ll probably, say
‘Thank you for not smoking’,”
said Schweizer, “but we have
to be careful. The committee
has to consider the rights of
everyone, the smokers and
rion-sraokers alike.”
The rest of the Thursday
meeting was business as usual.
Business Manager Cindy Vet­
ter announced that the school
has purchased plant hangers
for the Recreation Center.
Also, controversy arose over
the placing of a Servomation
machine on the second floor of
McLoughlin Hall. Informal
surveys were held among the
staff members who have offices
there, and 60 percent were for
the placing of a vending
machine, 40 percent were
against the idea.. However, the
no-votes were adamant. Most
of those spoken to would
rather the machine be installed
downstairs. An ASG commit­
tee already exists to implement
the installment of the machine.
To round out the 60-minute
meeting, the constitution for
the neophyte CCC Basketball
Club was introduced and
discussed. It will be voted ,on at
this week’s meeting. The con­
stitution for the CCC Women’s
Tennis Club was approved.
And finally, yet another new
senator has joined the ranks of
the student government.
