Smoking, from Page 1

tor of Housing and Food Services Lawrence E. Maguire. The revised policy reads: "This policy is intended to be self-enforc- ing and the cooperation of all mem- bers of the MIT community is expected."

Policy generally supported No one has complained about the new ordinance, Maguire said. "I haven't had one comment; every- body seems to agree that it's the right thing to do," he said.. Christian T. Powers G, who smokes, said that he is not bothered by not being permitted to smoke in dining facilities. "I'm used to not being able to smoke in public areas," he said. Networks Manager Dalton DaSilva said that so far no smokers have complained to him about the new policy. Smokers tend to sit at the tables outside of Networks, he said, but he is not sure what they will do during the winter. "I think [the policy] is a good idea," said Enrique Barajas '97. - -' -- /- - _ --- -- _- ·I , "Maybe it should be expanded to I/ N dorms" so that people can just smoke in their rooms and not in the B_|X______M halls, he said. Barajas, a resident of Burton House, said that he does not mind when people smoke in the hall occasionally, "but when someone's constantly smoking I do mind," he said. David L. Middleton '97 said that before, "during lunchtime you could I smell [smoke] a lot. ... Smoking does tend to bother me, but I'm not Ione to complain." In a memorandum written to the MIT community in late August, Dickson said that since the 1987 policy was instated, "the dangers of smoking, including the ingestion of second-hand smoke, have been increasingly well documented by the medical community." "In recognition of this fact, in May 1994, the Cambridge City Council enacted a resolution urging that Cambridge become a 'smoke- free' environment in the workplace and in restaurants," according to the memorandum. Dickson said that administrators I were discussing the new provision before the Cambridge City Council passed their resolution. Though the r, resolution was not binding, MIT decided to follow the recommenda- tion, he said.

Maybe Buffalo won't get i the opportunity to lose their fifth Super Bowl this year. Then again, they do get to play the Patriots twice. If you were watching the games on Sunday and saw the score 11-0 pop up on your screen, be assured that it was not an error by the rookie technicians at Fox, and there weren't two safeties by a team or any missed extra points.

Time will tell if the new rule AV allowing thC two-pomii conversion **% isr will be helpful to the league, which has been looking for ways to add Li.T scoring and excitement to games. Don't look for teams to try this play a lot, though, even in late-game comeback situations. Why? The extra point kick, basically a 17-yard field goal attempt, is all but auto- matic, and unless absolutely neces- sary, few coaches will risk getting no extra points (and the two-pointer is less than a 50/50 proposition against most teams) when they can get one with no fuss. Detroit needed overtime to beat the Atlanta Falcons 31-28 on a Mrdw Iw Jason Hanson field goal. The game was an excellent showcase for the talents of transplanted quarterbacks Scott Mitchell for the Lions (15 completions in 30 attempts, 173 II yards, 1 INT, 3TD's) and Jeff George of the Falcons (29-37, 281 40 yards, 2 TD's), especially because the secondaries for both teams have been decimated by free agency and DIllNSTE^DI O-I ~ -I o the salary cap, and looked less than polished on Sunday.
