Smoking regulations considered Tobacco policy now under review by president
Awritten tobacco regulation has completed its journey to the college president’s desk, where it will await approval, according to a health director in Pierce’s Student Health Center.
The regulation is made up of three main components to ensure a smoke-free campus, according to health educator Vir Maniquiz.

“The only exceptions with the no smoking on campus are parking lots 1 and 7,” Maniquiz said.
In Lot 1, students will be allowed to smoke in the student section, but not in the faculty section. Moreover, in Lot 7, smoking will be only permitted along the edge of Victory Boulevard, according to Maniquiz.
The second component of the tobacco regulation will prohibit both students and the school from selling tobacco products on campus, according to Maniquiz.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The start of October means the beginning of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation website, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lives.
This month, many people on campus will wear pink in support of those battling breast cancer.
Last October, the women’s soccer team wore pink jerseys in honor of the cause.
For a breast exam or instructions on performing an accurate selfexam, students can make an appointment at Student Health Services by calling (818) 710-4270, or visit the Center on the second floor of the Student Services Building.
