Smoking resolution does not pass 

When it came time to vote on the smoking resolution at the Student Senate meeting Sunday night, the result was a seven to seven tie. One member abstained from voting, and the resolution did not pass.

The resolution began as a campus-wide smoking ban and then turned into a discussion about regulating designated smoking areas. The final result was a resolution stating that smoking must be done at least 20 feet away from all buildings.

Current rules say students must be 10 feet from buildings.

Senior Kristyn Potter, the student affairs chair, said she thought more senators would vote for the resolution.
