proposal by the Ad Hoc Com- mittee on Smoking was passed prohibiting smoking in all cam- pus buildings except in permit- ted areas. However, reception areas, restrooms, university vehicles and work areas that housed one or more non- smokers became off-limits to cigarettes. Smoking had already been prohibited by law in classrooms, theatres and auditoriums. The Department of Housing implemented the use of a computer program for matching roommates. The program generated a list of people who had marked answers from a per- sonality questionnaire that were not oppo- sites. It was particularly beneficial this year because there were approximately 200 more freshmen than expected moving into campus housing. With such a crunch on space, a swap of roommates would be the only option for someone who did not get along with a roommate, a difficult task since four parties rather than one have to agree to the swap. A new curriculum, more clearly struc- tured, organized by the Murphy Institute over the course of the last three years, is credited for making Political Economy the most popular major behind history and eco- nomics. The institute has also upgraded its lecture and visiting professor program which is, along with the enthusiasm of facul- ty, attributable for the major ' s popularity. It also seems to be indicative of students less- ening apathy toward the government. • Mardi Gras Scenes 7
