      The
      debate
      continues...
     
    
   
   
    
     
      a
      motion
      at
      their
      meeting
      on
      Oct.
      17
      to
     
    

    
     
      remove
      the
      gambling
      machines
      in
      the
     
     
      Panther
      Lounge.
      It
      was
      defeated
      by
      one
      vote,
     
     
      with
      two
      abstensions.
     
    

    
     
      The
      gambling
      machines
      are
      recreation
      for
     
     
      some,
      but
      an
      addiction
      for
      others.
      The
      issue
      was
     
     
      brought
      to
      the
      S.U.
      by
      a
      few
      addicted
      students.
     
     
      They
      thought
      that
      the
      machines’
      presence
      in
      the
     
     
      lounge
      is
      not
      fair
      to
      those
      students
      who
      are
     
     
      addicted
      to
      gambling.
      They
      believe
      that,
      be-
     
     
      cause
      the
      students
      pay
      for
      the
      pub,
      they
      should
     
     
      be
      able
      to
      enter
      it
      without
      the
      temptation
      of
     
     
      gambling.
     
    

    
     
      Todd
      King,
      President
      of
      the
      S.U.
      wanted
      it
      to
     
     
      be
      an
      issue
      of
      ethics,
      not
      one
      of
      money.
      ‘‘...the
     
     
      revenue
      that
      is
      generated
      is
      not
      that
      much.
      I’m
     
     
      more
      concerned
      about
      the
      ethics
      of
      it
      than
      the
     
     
      money.”’
      :
     
    

    
     
      Are
      addicted
      students
      being
      excluded
      from
     
     
      the
      right
      to
      use
      the
      student
      pub
      because
      of
      the
     
     
      temptation?
      Should
      the
      minority
      of
      addicted
     
     
      people
      rule
      whether
      or
      not
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      student
     
     
      population
      can
      use
      the
      gambling
      machines
      in

      Student
      Union

      the
      student
      pub?
      Not
      according
      to
      the
      results
      of
     
     
      the
      S.U.
      vote.
     
    

    
     
      Todd
      King
      doesn’t
      think
      the
      revenue
      is
     
     
      worth
      excluding
      addicted
      students
      from
      the
      pub
     
     
      that
      they
      help
      pay
      for.
     
    

    
     
      One
      fourth-year
      student
      believes
      that
      the
     
     
      machines
      should
      be
      taken
      out.
      ‘‘The
      expense
      in
     
     
      the
      end
      to
      treat
      the
      addicted
      people
      is
      more.
      If
     
     
      it
      were
      up
      to
      me
      I’d
      take
      them
      out.”’
     
    

    
     
      Nathalie
      Land,
      also
      a
      fourth-year
      student,
     
     
      believes
      that
      the
      machines.should
      be
      there
      for
     
     
      those
      students
      who
      enjoy
      gambling
      as
      a
      recrea-
     
     
      tion.
      “‘Alcoholics

      into
      bars
      without
     
     
      drinking,’’
      she
      says.
     
    

    
     
      For
      most,
      the
      gambling
      machines
      are
      just
     
     
      recreation.
