SMOKING BANNED
UNIVERSITY WOMEN. DISCIPLINARY MEASURE. AUCKLAND, September 23. Women students at Auckland University College were advised yesterday that the privilege of smoking in their common room had been withdrawn by the Professorial Board. The privilege has been a short-lived one. « This means’ that the only portion of the college in which smoking is now allowed is the men’s common room.
Women .students interpret the ban as applying to the university buildings and also its precincts. They understand that a walk outside the cloisters for an occasional cigarette will also be objected to, It is stated that it is .now no longer possible to make up a bridge “four” in the common room.
Asked last evening for an explanation of the board’s action, the chairman (Professor W. Anderson) said that he did not wish to discuss the matter publicly. The step taken was a disciplinary measure.
