September is also the month of the shop’s 50th anniversary, Rish said. “I thought it was a good way to give back to a community that’s given us so much support,” she said.

Instead, he said he hasn’t encountered any problems. The same goes for Nicole Brown, an RA at Sims. She said there hasn’t been a word of com plaint from her hall, and students don’t mind taking the extra time to walk outside to smoke. “I’ve lived in residence halls where I’ll be on a smoke-free floor and you can smell the smoke com ing from the floor above you,” she said. For smokers on campus, the policy is just another limitation of where they can and can’t smoke. The university restric tions on smoking mean the only place students can smoke is out side. Faulk said the policy really doesn’t affect him though, because he usually smokes while walking to class. Second-year biology student Jason Corbett, a smoker who lives in Capstone, said he thinks the policy is a good idea but that Housing should have done a bet ter job of informing people about thq change. “I’m trying to quit, myself, any way,” he said. The new policy just might help smokers do that. Faulk admitted that smoking was a nasty habit that is very hard to quit and that the new policy could serve as a de terrent to smoking in general. “If the university didn’t have a policy, it would be a lot easier to smoke, and people could do it a lot more and could get addicted,” he said.

On one hand, compe tition from a new school is “healthy and good,” Mood said. On the other hand, he wondered how many Charleston law school grad uates would be able to find jobs. I “We are filling the need for lawyers in South Carolina,” said Mood, noting that about 90 percent of USC law school grads find work within six months after gradua tion. Some critics fear the new law school would become part of the state-funded, public College of Charleston. At that point, the Charleston law school would be gin to compete for scarce public funds with the USC School of Law. Sanders said that fear is un founded. The commission staff has recommended tha^if the new law school ever tried to become part of the College of Charleston, “the license granted to the school shall be null and void and immediately revoked.” Sanders said the new school al ready has a dean. ...
