NEWS__________ Campus smoking debated by Briane C. Dotson News Editor The fate of smoking on cam­ pus will be decided March 1, the scheduled day for the smoking forum to be debated among the students of Clackamas Commu­ nity College. College President John Key­ ser says that there has been in­ creased .interest about the smok­ ing form in the last several weeks from both smokers and non-smok­ ers. “I have seen petitions on both sides of the issue,” said Keyser. The smoking forum is being held in an effort, to hear argu­ ments both for and against smok­ ing. AH students are invited to express their views on this issue. There are several different positions on the smoking issue. One is to ban smoking everywhere except Randall Hall, making it the only smoking area on campus and thus eliminating the smoking areas in Norm’s Cafe and Barlow Hall. Others however would like to see smoking only outside. Keyser commented that with the rainy season the idea of smoking only being allowed outside could cre­ ate some.problems. “We are not sure where this The solution to all your computer needs IBM compatibles from $595 Repairs/Maintenance contracts Call for class schedule Serving our customers since 1980 situation will end up but it is hoped that both sides will be happy,” said Keyser. Keyser feels that it is the col­ lege’s and individual’s responsi­ bility to educate and regulate people from causing them self and the people around them harm, and this is _not an easy issue to decide one way or another. “Non-smokers want protec­ tion from the smokers because of the health factors, and smokers have a strong case in not wanting their rights violated through no­ smoking legislation,” said Keyser. Keyser compares the smok­ ing issue to the. seat belt issue in that studies show that smoking and not wearing seat belts can cause health problems, but yet people still smoke and still refuse to ware seat belts. Keyser feels that if smoking is banned on campus the college might lose a small number of stu­ dents to other community colleges which allow smoking on their campuses.
