Caf. Smoking On Trial Basis

Smoking is now being permitted in the main dining room of
Bentley^ Hall on a trial basis.
Administrative policy had previously prohibited smoking because it was feared that cafeteria
equipment (such as dining room
floors, furniture, linens, ets.)
would be abused.
LHS President Richard T.
Parsons has indicated that he
will withdraw the trial period in
the event that there are any
abuses.
Edward Eltz, cafeteria manager, has stated that the "rules
have been complied with to the
letter." There have been "no
abuses whatsoever, except for
missing ashtrays," he said.
