Campus takes aim at cigs
ASHTRAY from pagel
“close proximity” - 10 feet - of
campus facilities.
To help enforce this, some
campus ashtrays were moved
further away from the buildings,
Baird said.
And after the change, Baird
said he noticed a bigger mess
within a couple of days. .
“Obviously, the ashtrays
weren’t there, but people weren’t
going to change their smoking
habits,” he said.
Baird said areas near the
College of Business
Administration building, the
area between Oldfather Hall and
Bessey Hall and the south side of
Nebraska Hall have been the
most polluted with cigarette
butts.
“It increases our labor, and it
costs more to do the mainte
nance,” he said.
Some people have thrown
cigarettes in trash cans that are
right outside the buildings.
But Baiid cautioned not to do
that unless someone is positive
his or her cigarette is out.
A lit cigarette caused a fire in
a trash can near Bessey hall,
Baird said.
Marissa Gill, a junior philoso
phy major, said she hasn’t
noticed an unusually high num
ber of cigarette butts.
But Gill, a nonsmoker, said
people who smoke outside
buildings don’t bother her.
"They’re still going to be in
the way regardless of where the
ashtrays are,” Gill said.
"It doesn’t matter - people
will still light up right outside the
buildings.”
Emily Haarberg, a junior
news-editorial major, said after
ashtrays were moved further
away from Avery Hall, she and a
group of others placed a coffee
can near the door to use as a
makeshift ashtray.
But much to Haarberg’s cha

grin, the coffee can was removed
shortly after they placed it there.
"We’re trying to keep it clean,
and they take (the coffee can)
away,” she said.
“I just think it’s stupid.”
Haarberg said the university
needed to find a happy medium
between those who light up and
those who don't

Haarberg said. "It’s just making a

them longer; they become more
familiar with the work.”
Magnuson’s work in the
research has been valuable,
Cress said. In analyzing the
tapes, Magnuson is able to
gather new data and develop
new play strategies.
Cress said she encouraged
more undergraduates to
become involved in the pro
gram.
“I have found that under
graduates make excellent
observations. They bring a new
perspective to the project.”

SMOKERS from page 1
Nebraska Medical Association
and Lancaster County Medical
Society dted numerous statistics
about the effects of second-hand
smoke and what it does to restau
rant employees as well as non
smokers.
“As many as53,000nonsmok
ers die annually from second
hand smoke,” Noble said, as he
went on to list several other facts.
“Owners of restaurants can
beheld liable if employees devel
op lung cancer caused by second
hand smoke,” he said.
Ventilation systems can’t
handle the smoke from cigarettes
either, Noble said.
“I see it as a victory of life over
death when patients stop smok
ing,” he said.
But public health concerns
are already addressed by the
Clean Air Act, the Nebraska
Beverage Association’s Jim
MoytansakL
The existing act allows for
smoking only in areas that are
designated as such.
And plus, Moylan said, the
ban would be bad for businesses,
as proven in California, which
banned smoking in restaurants
and bars three years ago.
Moylan cited statistics from a
study done in California that
showed business in the smoke
free restaurants was going down,
and customers were upset
But Thompson, the anti
smoking bill’s sponsor, said
Moylan’s statistics didn’t reflect
the current state of California
restaurants and bars.
Thompson said Moylan’s
information was taken from a
phone survey taken two or three
months after the ban was put in
place.
After three years of getting
used to the smoking ban,
Thompson said, California busi
nesses now indicate they’re unaf
fected.
