This begs the question of how Eastern can eliminate absolutely all smoking floors when a portion of the population still obvi- ously requests them. No one will argue the physical dangers of smoking or the trouble it presents when enforcing residence hall fire codes, but eliminating all smoking floors so quickly may prove too caustic a solution for the problem. Smokers may be the modern-day lepers of American society, but they still have rights.

The mauling could mean the end of one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most popular shows. Its employees were encouraged to look for new jobs, and officials said that even if Horn recovers it’s unclear whether he would ever be able to perform again in the rigorous show. MGM Mirage officials said Sunday that it might take another day or two before doctors have a prognosis for Horn, who was bitten in the neck and dragged off stage. The performer underwent surgery late Friday and Saturday at University Medical Center. “There has been no change in his status, which quite frankly is good news,” Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman said Sunday morning. “Considering the trauma he has been through, no change in his status is a good place to be.” Horn, 59, was heavily sedated but able to respond to voices and touch, MGM Mirage Resort chief executive DAILY EASTERN NEWS PHOTO BY STEPHEN HAAS Bobby Baldwin said. “We are guarded, optimistic,” Baldwin said late The wind up Saturday night outside the hospital. “We are pleased the news isn’t worse than it is.” Drew Sterioti, 8, of Naperville, practices his pitching skills with a friend Sunday afternoon outside of Coaches Stadium dur- It was halfway during a Friday night performance at ing the alumni baseball game.

Women sue Mattel, NON SEQUITUR BY WILEY MILLER say ‘Limited Edition’ dolls weren’t rare

EAST ST. LOUIS (AP) – Don’t expect the central figures in an upcoming class action lawsuit to be taking the stand in federal court here. But they might provide the defendant, Mattel Inc., with an idea for some interesting new legally- themed products. Just imagine the possibilities of “Exhibit ‘A’ Barbie and Ken.” In the civil lawsuit, two Madison County women who BOONDOCKS BY AARON MCGRUDER bought “limited edition” Barbies want Mattel to reveal just how many of the dolls it made and sold. “These women realized they were buying Barbies which were marketed as limited editions but weren’t being made in small enough numbers so as to increase in value,” said St. Louis lawyer Martin Perron, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Cunningham and Reet Caldwell in Madison County in 1999. The women bought Barbies and Kens portraying charac- ters such as Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler in “Gone with the Wind.” Special holiday dolls, princess dolls and others priced from $60 to $150 also were marketed as limited editions, Perron said. 10 THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS Monday, October 6, 2003
