‘Smoke...Just Don’t Exhale’
BY THE WEST
GEORGIAN STAFF
Should smoking in class be
allowed? Do students who don’t
smoke feel that their rights are
being infringed upon? Here
are some answers from we
are some answers from West
Georgia students.
Sherry McGill, 19-year-old
elementary education major
from Nashville, Ga., who is a
non-smoker feels that,
“smoking in class is not fair to
students suffering from
allergies, and nothing is more
aggravating to me than having
somebody blow smoke in my
face. If the students want
smoking in class it should be in
buildings with good ventilation
only.”
Bonita Hopkins, 17-year-old
medical technology major from
Summerville, does not smoke
and said, “If people want to
smoke in class it’s okay with
me."
Debbie Cox, 20-year-old
recreation major from Atlanta
is also a non-smoker and she
commented that, “There should
be a rule passed that students
may smoke in class, but the
class should be divided so that
smokers are on one side and
non-smokers are on the other.
This method would keep the

non-smokers from being
bothered by the smoke.” Miss
Cox also commented, ‘‘l wear
contacts and the smoke bothers
my eyes. It is for this reason
that I would prefer for students
not to smoke while in class with
me"
Cindy Gilbreath, 17-year-old
sociology major from Stone
Mountain, is a smoker and
stated, “I would like for the
smoking in class rule to pass,
but it would not bother me if it
didn’t because I know some
people don’t like the smoke and
besides that, I am allowed to
smoke in all of the classes I am
now attending.”
Cindy Cox, 19-year-old special
education major from Atlanta,
smokes cigarettes and feels
that, “The smoking in class
rules should not be passed
because it would infringe upon
the rights of too many people. If
a person can’t wait an hour for a
cigarette, then they are too
hooked and need to quit.” Miss
Cox stated that she does not
smoke in class.
Bill Craig, a 25-year-old
junior and non-smoker said, “I
don’t mind the no smoking rule,
as long as people who smoke
don’t exhale.”
Craig Hilgendorf, senior
biology major from Carrollton,
said, “I think people who smoke
in class are infringing on my
rights, especially those who
smoke nearme. Besides, I don’t
like neurotic cigarette addicts
blowing their problems in my
face.”

Thomas Crawford, professor
of geology, voted against the
recommendation, saying, “The
way this (proposal) is written
seems to encourage the con
sumption of alcoholic
beverages. The statement
should be negative, where one
cannot drink, rather than
positive.”

said “a college community...
should strive to allow as much
personal freedom for its con
stituents (students, faculty, and
staff) as is realistically possible
without endangering the
educational process.” The
proposal also seeks to “develop
a congruency between local,
state, and federal laws, thereby
allowing the adult members on
campus to exercise their lpoi
freedoms.”

Kraus also charged
discrepancies in the election
procedures. “Strick procedure
was not adhered to,” he said. He
said signatures on voter tally
sheets did not correspond to the
number of ballots cast and that
some signatures on the sheets
appeared to be in the same
handwriting.

student government president,”
he added.
Tillman said he doesn’t
foresee any problems with his
co-workers in the SGA. “As long
as they’re determined to work,
there shouldn’t be any
Droblems,” he said.
The 20-year-old junior will
assume his duties spring
quarter. He will continue
working in his present jobs until
then, he said.
Tillman said he favors the
controversial beer on campus
issue which is pending a
decision by college president
Ward Pafford. “The majority of
the students here are for this,”
he said, “and this is a good
chance to make it legal.”
In his victory statement,
Tillman thanked his supporters
and called for support “from all
of the students at West
Georgia.” He said he would
begin meeting with leaders of
campus organizations after his
term begins to encourage
“more active”’ participation in
student government.
The new student president
also said he would begin
working more closely with the
campus media, such as
arrangingair spots on WWGC to
promote SGA work.
