Meeting With President Ruud During President's Hour In Harley Hall

Yesterday evening representatives of ShipSmokeOut spoke with President Ruud about the 

rumors concerning the implementation of the smoking ban starting November 1, 2008. He said that this is just a rumor, that in fact the only thing happening on November 1 is the implementation of the current smoking policy here at Shippensburg University. This means that Urns around buildings such as Dauphin Humanities Center will be removed, and university police will be asking students to smoke in the designated smoking areas on campus. For example the bench and urn outside of Harley Hall. ShipSmokeOut urges you to comply with these guidelines without resistance. President Ruud has assured us that we are working towards a compromise with the administration and the PASSHE.

Email With President Ruud

This is pretty much what Tom Wing covered in the video, but here it is in text:

The following is an excerpt from an email with President Ruud that Tom Wing of ShipSmokeOut received today:

"...As for the ban we are still in the education mode trying to identify both health education and places that may be appropriate to smoke More this week" - President Ruud

This gives us hope that our voices are not being ignored, rather being taken into account while the Administration and the PASSHE discuss how the ban will be implemented.

We'll give you more updates as we get them!

Addition of YouTube to Our Arsenal

Hope this finds all of you in a relatively decent state of mind. We have now started using YouTube to give you updates, etc. So here are the first three. They are in order from newest to oldest.

Enjoy!

Meeting With President Ruud

As most of you know, the creators of Ship Smoke Out, along with some of the Hall Representatives, had a meeting with President Ruud today. Overall, we believe the meeting went really well. Some of the things mentioned in the meeting by President Ruud are being looked into by the Ship Smoke Out staff, so that is one of the reasons why the March On Old Main was cancelled for tomorrow.

We apologize for the short notice of the cancelation, but do not worry, we will be holding other demonstrations soon. Keep checking the website and our Facebook group for further information as it is developed.

Thank you,

Ship Smoke Out Admin.
