Students Want Cigarette Ban Repealed
"Bring 'em back" was the opinion of a majority of students interviewed yesterday on the cigarette-sules-on-campus controversy.

The issue was raised again Tuesday when Kansas State University's Student Senate passed a resolution urging the Board of Regents to rescind its March 1964 decision banning cigarette sales on state university and college campuses.
"I don't smoke but the people who do are going to continue to smoke despite the ban. I think any action taken should be done so through the student government."—Marion Raze, Tyler, Tex., freshman
"The ban isn't having any effect. But, I think the University had a moral obligation to implement it in the light of the cancer findings."—Nick O'Connor, Macksville senior
STUDENT government leaders at KU yesterday expressed their approval of the K-State action. Members of Vox Populi and the All Student Council felt the ban had been ineffective in preventing increased smoking. Leaders also expressed concern for Kansas Union financial loss resulting from the ban.
"My Fair Lady" tickets will go on sale Friday morning in the ticket office at Murphy Hall, according to Lewin Goff, director of the production. No more than five "IDS"s may be presented by any one person for ticket purchase, Goff said.

KU students questioned yesterday seconded the consensus of their peers.

The two to one majority of the sample student opinion opposing the ban, gave various reasons for their dissent, most of which based on the maxim, "Once a smoker, always a smoker."
"I don't think the ban is effective." Toni Tylter, Prairie Village sophomore, said, as she lit a cigarette. "Students just spend more money on gas for driving off-campus to buy cigarettes. When I think of the time I spend walking over to the Call . . ."
Susan Colbertson, Riverton,
Kan, freshman and a non-smoker, raised the question of individual choice.
"I think the Regent's decision was unrealistic," she said. "Regulation in high school should be expected but not in college. It might have affected the smoking habits of the students but probably very little."
One of the observable outgrowths of the "weed" ban, according to the interviewees, is the higher prices charged by Jayhawk "hawkers" and the cigarette merchandisers on the campus fringe.
Dave Greenberg, Lawrence senior, a non-smoker, contended the raised prices and inconveniences constitute the real strength of the decree.

"The hard-core smoker won't be affected by the ban," he said, "but the added distance to an off-campus cigarette distributor plus the raised prices of the monopoly could effectively discourage freshmen from taking up the habit."

As for rescinding the ban, the students suggested action by either the All-Student Council or a petition from the student body.
