The increased number of spaces should be enough to allevi- ate overcrowding in parking lots on campus, said Knitter. However, he added that more attention needs to be directed to- ward solutions like ride sharing and students' use of mass trans. portation, Knitter said that there are no immediate plans to add any addi- tional parking spaces anywhere on campus. Theemphasisinstead will be placed on ride sharing and mass transportation, although no defi- nite plans for promoting ride shar- States Chancellor Sheila Kaplan of Streeter, "I think he'll be an excellentaddition ...His strengths .and his interests are as a people person. He has extensive 'experi- ence on the financial side." According to Kaplan, Streeter will further be responsible for implementing the new Americans with Disabilities Act, the Clean Air Act (including ridesharing, etc.), expanding recycling efforts, preventitive maintenance, and hazardous waste. AtHiram College, Streeter has been in charge of business and fi- nancesince 1988,overseeinga$20 million operating budget, a $28 million eudowment, the business office, purchasing, physical plant, transportation and other areas at the 1,350-student school.

Knitter noted that in the past there had been problems with the lighting in theCommunicationArts lot. However, thanks to the instal- lation of new high-pressure sodium lights and the placement of wiring in insulated underground conduits, he was confident that such prob- lems could now be avoided. Knitter also stated that the cre- ation of new parking spaces for the disabledwillhelpmakethecampus more accessible and aid the uni- versity in its effort to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Patch Editor-In-Chief In a memorandum issued on August 28 by William Niebuhr, Director of the Parkside Union, it was an- nounced that the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus will, effective the start of the fall semester, become an en- tirely smoke-free campus. Reconsideration of the previous university smoking policy that allowed smoking in designated areas of the campus was made necessary by the continuedcomplaintsofstudent and non-student members of the UW -Parkside community. Many complained of smokers continnally violating past and present smoking poli- cies, ignoring existing signage designating smoking/non- smoking areas, and of the con- centration of smoke develop- ing in the Union Square and Recreation Center. Further concerns were presented regarding the pass- ing of smoke throughout the university through the air han- dling system. Studies released this sum- mer dealing with the potential harm caused by second hand smoke has continued to heighten public concern re- garding this issue and how it is to be handled in the UW Sys- tem. In addition, the National Clean Air Act and extensive media coverage have further intensified attention toward public authorities in dealing with smoking and the issue of second hand smoke. As of last year, one half of the University of Wisconsin System campuses had already declared themselves "smoke- free environments," with two more planning to do so in the near future. This includes OW-Madi- son, whose chancellor declared a smoke-free campus which became effective this summer. It is now a short term goal of the University of Wiscon- sin System to become com- pletely smoke free on all cam- puses. Because of the extensive pressure surrounding the issue and the prohibitive costs of in- stalling "smoke eating" equip- ment (most recently estimated at $14,000), UW-Parkside Chancellor Sheila Kaplan has declared the campus a "smoke- free environment," effective the fall semester of this year. According to Niebuhr, "While this decision will surely not please smokers, this com- plete ban will eliminate further complaints surrounding the concentrated smoke in the pre- viously designated areas and take that smoke out of our air handling units for good." Further, it will "facilitate uniform enforcement," and "bring us into similar compli- ance with the majority of other UW campuses and other public buildings."
