Transport Minister, David Mitchell, faced severe criticism from students over the effects of deregulation on bus services in Smoking Newcastle, when he visited the Union last week. Secretary of the Labour Club, Darren Murphy (centre) called his visit to the Ban to be blood donor unit following the tragedy of the Scotswood Road bus crash a “ publicity stunt” . Extended in Union Following a General Meeting last week, smoking could soon be banned in many parts of the union. In the vaguely radical but percep­ tibly smoky atmosphere in the Debating Chamber last Thursday, victory was claimed by the non- smokers. Philip Matthews and Richard Cor- rigall (both Medicine) proposed a motion to ban smoking on Levels 2 and 6 between 8.30 am and 7.00 pm and in the Debating Chamber and Airport Lounge at all hours. Initial arguments revolved around the resentment felt by non-smokers subjected to a smoky environment. It was estimated that 1,000 people die of passive smoking a year whilst 2,000 die from fires ■ started by cigarettes. An amendment was introduced in which it was argued that the Third World was suffering in terms of health, economy and deforestation due to the tobacco industry, and therefore cigarette sales should be banned from the Union. Eilish Kavanagh (Sabbatical Treasurer), while accepting the su­ perior morality of this argument, demonstrated that the Union could not afford to lose the £3,000 revenue from tobacco sales. To murmurs of “ well in an ideal world, but. . ."the amendment died. And so the debate returned to the question of extending No-Smoking areas in the union. The final vote resulted in a % majority for the anti-smokers. It may be some time before these proposals can be put into practice. They will now be referred to Union Council. If they approve them with a % majority a Constitutional General Meeting will then need to be called before the Union's smokers must indulge in a sharp intake of breath.
