Team tackles smoking Treasure Valley Coach killed ----------------------------------------- by Sherri Michaels News Editor________ '__________ ______ The Wellness Team and several concerned staff and students are advocating that Clackamas Com munity College “become a leader by offering a smoke-free environ ment to our students and the community,” according to a «nemo sent Nov. 2 to President Keyser and President’s Council. The main concern is the Skylight Room which has in the past been used for musical per formances, seminars and workshops, breakfast meetings, receptions and banquets for both the college and community. The Skylight Room was designated as a smoking area because of its own ventilation system. The President’s council made a decision to spend $2960 to install new filters to ac comodate smokers. Several students and staff have voiced concern over the decision. Bill Symes commented, “wasn’t that the rationale for putting smokers there in the first place that it had its own ventilation system.” Also with the current budget problems we should be doing what we can to save not spend money pointed out Symes. Another concern is the gym lobby and the neighboring area, in particular the gym. “The smoke filtering into the gym while classes are going on is a real problem,” mentioned' the Wellness Team’s memo. It could also have an affect on the perfor mance of the athletic teams. The Wellness Team has receiv ed many complaints about the smokers in the Skylight Room.
