News Tuesday - July 22, Tobacco Continued from Page 1 “I don’t think it will stop people from smoking who already smoke,” Kinnebrew said, “but I think it will help stop more fu ture smokers.” Rodney Walker, owner of Discount To bacco in College Station, said he believes advertising regulations would not affect the cost of cigarettes. “They spend a lot of money on advertis ing now,” Walker said, “so now they will have more money sitting there.” Despite the proposed setdement, Walk er said business has been good. He opened his business in May. Laura Human, a nonsmoker and a senior accounting major, said the tobacco indus try should not have to pay for medical bills related to smoking. “I don’t think they should, because those people who chose to smoke know it causes cancer,” Human said. Human said she agrees that tobacco in dustries should not be allowed to market advertising toward teenagers. “I think it is good,” Human said. “It will stop them from seeing that smoking is cool.” Paul Ardionov, a nonsmoker and a junior engineering technology major, said he sup ports the agreement. “I’m for it,” Arodionov said. “I’m totally against smoking.” Srikianth Raghunatham, a smoker and an aerospace engineering graduate student, said he does not agree with the proposal. “I don’t think it is just to make them pay when people choose to smoke,” Raghu natham said. “When people decide to smoke, that is their decision.” ST Tests Continued from Page 1 Gunn said to ensure that students will not cheat on computer tests, teachers will either have to allow students to take group tests or have a secure room where only one student can take the test at a time. “I foresee this being a learning tool so small groups can take it (a test) together, and the group test could be a part of the fi nal grade,” Gunn said. Dr. Colin Allen, an associate professor of philosophy and humanities, wrote a program called Logic Daemon that stu dents in Philosophy 240 began to use in February 1996 to check their sentential and predicate logic proofs. “Approximately 100 to 300 students each semester are ‘encouraged’ to use it (Logic Daemon),” Allen said in a e-mail interview. Allen said the program is used about 700 times each semester, but not all users are A&M students because the program is on the Web. Some national tests are already offered on computers. A&M students may take the GRE com puter-based General Test through Mea surement and Research services, and the GMAT will be administered as a computer adaptive test in October 1997. ..
