STUDENTS AND SMOKING.
EEFERENDUM TO 3E TAKEN.
I . , After much deliberation, the Victoria College Council decided last evening to submit the question as to whether smoking should be allowed in the men's common room at the college, to a referendum of the students. The matter arose out of an application from tho Executive .'Committee of the Students' Association for permission to smoke in the common loom. This was favourably reported upon by the Finance Committee of the council, but "stuck up" by tho full council. 'Sir Kobert Stout thought that students should be discouraged from smoking, not encouraged. The consumption, per head, of tobacco in New Zealand was alarming. Besides, they had to consider the minority ■ —it might bo the majority, for all they knew —who might desire fhe common Toom to be free from the presence of tobacco smoke. Mr. Charles Wilson deprecated this "coddling" of students. Mr. Bell: 'Why not have a referendum on the question?' And so it was decided. The poll should be an interesting one.
