Policy curbs campus smoking
Recent rules create limits on lighting up
By Karen Boring
At the University of Kansas, smoking has become the exception rather than the rule.
KU adopted its smoking policy in 1987 to comply with a change in state law that restricted smoking in public buildings.

State law prohibits smoking in public places except where designated areas are deemed safe area determine if smoking will be allowed. Public places include libraries and schools. State law also prohibits smoking in buses and elevators.
The KU policy prohibits snoring,
restrooms, classrooms, laboratories,
libraries, auditoriums, hallways,
elevators, lockers room and stairwells.
Under the KU policy, smoking is prohibited "mitted only" as well as mitted. These areas usually include lobbies that are large enough for smokers and that are not easily accessible.
Questions about the KU smoking policy should be directed to Tom Berger, program assistant in the executive vice chancellor's office.
smoking was allowed in the rooms if all roommates agreed.
Fred McElhenie, KU director of residential programs, said in residence halls and scholarship halls.
Smoking is prohibited in the Robinson Center and the Hilltop Child Development Center. It also prohibited in Watson Library, except in the reading room on the first floor.
Designated smoking sections of the lobbies and cafeterias in the Kansas and Burge Unions are marked with
"smoking permitted" signs.
In Allen Field House, Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Patroutt Athletic Center, smoking is allowed only in lobbies without "no smoking" signs.
Freshman freedom often ruins diet
New students at the University of Kansas don't usually notice a change in their eating habits until they gain the "freshman15."
But food services director says hall food not to blame

Potato chips, candy bars, pizzas and Joe's runs. These are the things that try freshmen's souls — and their stomachs.
Each year at the University of Kansas, freshmen are bombarded with choices, not the least of which involves which foods to eat. And each summer, many freshmen go out with that undearest extra 10 pounds.
But Ann Kohl, University dietitian and nutrition counselor at Watkins Hospital, said that it doesn't have to be that way. The reason many students acquire poor eating habits and gain weight is because of the high grade egis that they have not learned to handle choices, she said.
Kohl said she treated many students each year who complained of weight gain and eating disorders. Many of them are overweight, and the freshmen have realized that their habits have changed since they left home, but don't know what to do about it. She said many students blamed their poor habit(s) for food served at KU residence halls.
But Lenoir Ekdahl, director of services for the residence halls and high-fat content of residence halls had the high starch and high-fat content for which it
"We provide a nutritionally balanced meal," she said. "And the students can get it if they so choose." The selection is "a game of choices."
High-starch and high-fat foods are in the menu because meal planning takes into account that high-calorie foods, males are still stewing. Kohl said.
But other less starchy, high-protein foods also were in the menu, Kohl said. so it should not pose a

threat to any student's fitness or health.
"I think the machines and the late-night Joe (Bakery) runs do far more damage than the dorm food," she said.
Kohi said freshmen became unhealthy because they were on their own and in control of what they ate for the first time. The average freshman drinks a lot of beer and eats a lot of fast foods
"They're choosing foods with low nutritional value and packed with calories." she said
A second factor influencing poor fitness and health in freshmen is that their level of physical activity is lower than the average University. Many may have been on athletic teams in high school, and when they come to KU, they will probably be more fit.
Kohl offered some tips to help freshmen have a more healthy year:
Start out from day one being conscientious about eating patterns. Many students don't even eat lunch until a later year, until a later year, Kohl said.
- Focus on physical activity, even if it's walking to class instead of taking the bus.
Plan ahead for more nutritional
snacks, such as popcorn, peanut
butter and crackers, granola,
chocolate chips, yogurt,
instead of ice cream or doughnuts.
If eating patterns do get out of control, get help immediately.
