Smoking poll favors change of rule by Jim Titus Editor-in-Chief The results of last week’s smoking poll were released yes terday, and show a wide distribu tion of opinion on the issue. Of the 434 ballots cast, 40 percent were cast for option two (changing the ban to include an indoor smoking area), 30 percent for option three (continuing the ban without change), and 26 per cent for option one (continuing the ban but upgrading outdoor smoking facilities). Five percent of the ballots were unreadable. The poll represents and end of sorts for Associated Student Government involvement with the issue. According to ASG Presi dent Garett Lytle, student gov ernment is going to heavily scale back their activities concerning the smoking ban. “We’ll help students get in the right direction to do what they want (concerning the ban), but it’s out of our hands now,” Lytle stated. It is now up to Lytle to pres ent the results of the poll to the President’s Council to help them make a decision concerning the smoking ban. The poll was de signed merely to sample campus opinion on the smoking ban and does not bind the council to any decision. As far as what that deci sion ultimately will be, Lytle said that he has “no idea what .their (the council’s) mindset is.” According to Dean of Instruc tion Lyle Reese, who is in charge during President Keyser’s absence, the results of the poll are not sur prising. “I think we had an even distri bution of views on this issue from the beginning,” Reese said, add ing that “the poll accurately rep resents the President’s Council’s feeling.” Reese explained that the council would consider all options when making their decision. He also stated that the combined votes for both outdoor options (56 percent) means that there is a significant majority of opinion for continuing an indoor ban. “We have to take a look at the people who want to continue the ban,” Reese said. “I don’t think it’s misleading to look at the combined votes of (options) one and three. The majority is for continuing the ban but also look ing into improving facilities.” Flight class offered during Winter Term by Margy Lynch Staff Writer James Rooney, business manager and chief flight instruc tor of Mulino Air Center, will be instructing a private pilot ground school at CCC Winter Term. Rooney, a commercial pilot, finished his pilot ratings in Hillsboro and now manages Mulino Air Center, an extension of Eagle Flight Center oin- Hillsboro. Rooney commented that he does not have a lot of experience teaching, but will use his personal experiences to teach the course. He emphasized that he wants to relate “the reality of flying to the theoretical part - the book work.” The private pilot ground school is the first step in getting a private pilot license or a recrea tional license, according to Rooney. “It’s a course for beginners,” he said. “This is where everybody starts,” he added. “All you need to News Digest added.
