	Marie, I think that the situation is quite clear.  If someone is
making noise in a place where that is not sanctioned, you definitely
have the right to ask them to be quiet.  In the past, I have done this
in the Terminal Room, both as a TW and back when I was a user.  
	Only once has there been any trouble with this.  There was a
character in the Extension Room who would *not* stop smoking when asked, even
though it was visibly bothering other people.  Then, the only way he
would stop was by my threatening to zero a password (something, thank
god, I've never been forced to do).
	Reminds me of an incident related to me by a Senior Tutor I
know.  He was working out in the IAB while a male undergrad was being
quite offensive to two women on the weights.  The Tutor asked the person
to stop.  The person refused, and swore in return.  The Tutor then took
his name, ID, and make him an appointment with the ad board.  Previous
to his entrance, the women had not been able to convince the obnoxious
oaf to stop the harassment.  
	Sometimes you have to use the big stick.
