Wasting money on ventilation Student Opinions Reagan
provides the wrong solution to Should CCC spend
playing
Skylight room smoke
$3,000 on a ven-
Is spending 2960 college dollars on a filter in the Skylight room,
which won’t even eliminate the smoke smell, the right solution? The
answer is no! Why not eliminate the Skylight room as a smoking sec
tion?
The ventilation in the Skylight room has not been very good lately.
The smoke tends to drift to the non-smoking areas, which means that
non-smokers are being bothered by the smoke.
To solve this problem a filter costing almost $3,000 will probably be
installed, but it won’t help a bit. The smoke will be eliminated, but the
smell still goes everywhere.- With winter around the comer all doors
will be closed, and no fresh air can come into the Skylight room. The
smell will go to the non-smoking section, and even worse the
cafeteria.
If the Skylight room would become a non-smoking section again all
problems will be solved. No money for a filter will need to be spent
and the irritation of having the smoke smell in the non-smoking sec
tion will be gone.
Keeping Randall and lower Barlow hall as smoking sections still will
provide enough space for smokers to smoke. The Skylight room is a
nice room and shouldn’t have been made a smoking section in the first
place. It’s just too close to the cafeteria and the community center.
Right now two petitions are going around on campus to eliminate
the Skylight room as a smoking section. Go out there and sign it,
because spending money on a filter, which won’t get rid of the smoke
smell, is_a waste of funds. With a levy that failed, the money can be
spent bettei!

Yes, everyone is affected by the
smoke problem. It is a very good
idea. Money well spent!

should stop
politics with
Supreme Court
First there was Robert Bork, an overly conservative, male
chauvinist, racist, who was once a socialist. Then there was
Douglas Ginsburg, yet another conservative who smoked mari-
jauna in the 1960’s. Who is next? A fascist, cocaine dealer from
New Jersey?
Where does President Reagan find these people? Is there a place
where all of the weird judges of the country congregate?
President Reagan should take a moment to look in his files and
find a judge who is in the best interests of the country.
The Supreme Court nomination should not be a decision solely
dedicated to the interests of the political parties, but should be
judged by the interests of the American people.
President Reagan and his constituents should be spending their
time worrying about who can serve this country in its best interest
as a Supreme Court judge and not who can serve the Republican
party best.
Is being conservative such and important trait in a judge that the
whole purpose of the Supreme Court is forgotten? Knowledge and
fairness are much more important. It is time that personal beliefs
are removed from the selection of the Supreme Court judges and
the interets of the American people are thought of more.

Smokers tired of attacks
Those uppish non-smokers are at it again. Last year from the results
of a survey, the college relocated the campus smoking areas to rooms
that best served non-cigarette smoking people. The college, recogniz
ing that this is a democratic society, provided for the 20-25 percent
of the campus individuals who have chosen to smoke.
The people who smoke have quietly complied with the new rules.
The campus security has issued no citations and very few verbal warn
ings concerning people smoking in the wrong areas. Unfortunately the
non-smoking individuals have chosen to once again bare their talon.
A petition is being circulated by the “Wellness Team and Concern
ed Staff and Students” to further limit smoking areas on campus. The
petition claims that the college is, “meeting the need of a few in
dividuals.” If the college eliminated every program that met the needs
of 20% of the students the college would have to limit their offerings
to auto body and welding classes. The petition also states that non
smoking individuals have been deprived of the multi-purpose use of
the Skylight dining room. The purposes listed include musical perfor
mances which the music department no longer was planning to hold in
the Skylight room anyway, seminars and workshops, breakfast
meetings, receptions, and banquets. The foot traffic outside this area
seems to make it a poor choice for such activities.
Concerning the gym lobby the petition states that, “smoke filtering
into the gym while classes are going on is a real problem.” One only
needs to go observe this area to see that the problems the gym students
are having are not with smoke.
The college in its wisdom has provided areas for both people who
choose to smoke and people who choose not to smoke. Perhaps it is
time for the hawks to let the doves alone.

No, it wouldn’t get rid of the
smell so I don’t think that much
money should be spent if the pro
Hem isn’t totally solved.

I don’t believe so. If the
budget’s too low they should not
spend this money.

Join the crowd
to fight addiction
As Nov. 19 nears, the commercials are aired, the posters are hung,
and the nation waits to join in the Great American Smokeout.
Everyone has a part in this campaign whether he or she is a smoker or
not.
As a smoker a person is asked to stop smoking for a day, just one
day, but if this person is able to make it through an entire day without
smoking he’s one day closer to becoming a non-smoker. There’s a say
ing that goes “the first day is always the hardest.” If this is true, then
the days following the smokeout could be a breeze.
As a non-smoker a person is asked to support a smoker in his ef
forts to stop smoking. Smoking is an addiction and as with any addic
tion a person cannot quit on his own, he needs to know that someone
cares enough about him to want him to stop.
So, join the nation tomorrow as it fights to save lives, lives that are
cut short by the addictive habit of smoking. If everyone joins together
a difference can be made. Be a part of that difference!

I think there should be some
way to keep the smoke from drif
ting into the cafeteria, and non
smoking sections, but using that
much money for such a little
change would be a waste. Maybe
it could be blocked off from the
rest of the building.
