Kansas Union to Miss $100,000 Because of Ban on Cigarettes
By Nancy Schroeter
Smokers aren't the only ones who will feel the effects of a ban on the sale of cigarettes on the KU campus.
Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, said yesterday sales of cigarettes gave the Union a gross revenue of about $100,000 a year.
"Obviously, there will be a loss in revenue," Burge said.
Two other effects of the ban have been increased off-campus sales and increased "bumming" of cigarettes.
"IN MY JUDGMENT, the services being performed at the concession and information counter are essential to the operation of the Union and it is my sincere hope it will not be necessary to curtail them."

When asked what could happen to the services, Burge said, "We are studying very carefully the entire matter of sales and services and shall continue to do so."
have not been sold on campus in accordance with a Kansas State Board of Regents ruling that cigarettes will not be sold on university property.
Several students felt that the banning of cigarettes will make no difference in the amount of smoking done by students.
Students are beginning to buy by the carton instead of the pack since the cigarettes ban was put into effect.
"I think it is silly because it's going to be an inconvenience for the students rather than a curb on-moking," non-smoker Stan Morris, Yates Center freshman, said.
ONE STUDENT felt that the lack of cigarettes easily available on campus will help her to stop smoking.
MOST FACULTY MEMBERS who were asked about the cigarette ban felt it was a good thing although the majority of them did not smoke cigarettes if they smoked at all.
"I just don't have enough will power and maybe this will help." Martha Novak, Kansas City sophomore, said.
"I think it is grossly unfair and to me it is just another instance where officials are trying to decide what the students should do." Wesley Drever Garnett senior and a
cigarette smoker, said.
Businesses close to campus have noticed an increase in cigarette sales. The recent increase in taxes on cigarettes has caused the businesses to raise their price. Cigarettes sold over the counter now cost 30 cents and machine prices have gone up to 35 cents a package.
Merchants in the city of Lawrence also expect to do more business, although it is too early to tell exactly how great the increase will be, these merchants say.
Cigarettes will not be sold in the stadium. Students, as well as visitors at the KU Relays, will be unable to buy cigarettes.
