a The University may join other
schools around the country like Stan-
ford and central Michigan Univer-
sities by establishing a uniform policy
toward smoking in the workplace.
The University Personnel Depar-
tment began investigating last month
how to regulate smoking areas in all
campus buildings.
"ISOLATED cases have come to
the attention of the personnel staff
regarding specific issues, but we need
a guideline to go on," said Wendy
Powell, a personnel representative
and member of the four-person ad hoc
committee to investigate a smoking
policy.
Powell said the smoking controver-
sy became an issue after the state
legislature introduced the Michigan
Clean Indoor Air Act. Studies showing
the adverse effects of "second-hand"
smoke have sparked interest in a
uniform policy.
Personnel Director Jim Thiry said,
"At this point we are trying to get
some sense of the feelings of the
faculty and staff through fairly exten-
sive consultation and discussion
before a judgement is made."
Options being looked at by the per-
sonnel office include allowing
smoking in designated areas,
