Smokers need answers

To the editor:I've been following this smoking ban story since late February. Since then, I have become deeply troubled by growing suspicions that the administration isn't approaching this issue with the interest such a controversial, far-reaching change to public policy demands.The letter sent to President Gogue by a group of concerned students, mentioned in the Plainsman article entitled "University Considers Smoking Ban," hasn't been made publicly available, to my knowledge.The same article states that Mr. Eric Smith formed a team to gauge support for the ban, and that feedback had been positive.
