STUDENT'S SAY...

"What do you think about the possibility that smoking may be banned in more of the houses and already has been banned in the Yard dorms?"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

I don't really understand why there's a policy in the yard that students have to stand 100 meters from any dorm to smoke. As long as they don't leave cigarette butts around. I think it's okay. --Elizabeth A. P. Allen '00, Holworthy

I think there should still be a few dorms allowed for smoking for the students who do smoke. A few houses should also be left for smoking. If it's so important that you want to smoke inside, then you could just transfer houses.   --Diana Kim '00, Kirkland House

Smoking should not be allowed in areas where it might bother other people. But if it's not going to bother anybody. I don't think it's an area where the University should be interfering. The University shouldn't interfere with everyone's lives and decide what they should and shouldn't be doing.   --Steve Laufer '99, Eliot House

I think that students should be able to smoke in their own rooms as long as it doesn't affect other students in the house. I live in Mather and I know that what goes on it one room can't be heard, much less smelled, in another room.   --Jerry W. O'Connor '98, Mather House
