The walkways of campus will soon again be filled with that sweet smell of tobacco smoke.
For all those who miss walking through the smoke of an Art History and Criticism major’s most recent inspiration break, there is good news: The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is making East Campus a smoker friendly campus.
“I’m really excited the university is taking this step forward,” said local sophomore student, agriculture economics major Joe Camel. “Nothing helps with studying like the smooth pull of a Camel cigarette.” When other students were asked about this reversal of the smoking ban, the most common response was, “There was a smoking ban?”
After some investigative reporting, The DailyER discovered that something smelled a little fishy. Immediately before the university made the change to make East Campus smoker friendly, all of the university’s corn crops were replaced with tobacco. The hard-hitting investigation at The DailyER suspected a conspiracy that had the potential to go all the way to the top.
UNL was discovered to be fostering an addiction to create demand for the newly planted tobacco. When pressured on this grave issue, Chancellor Green said, “Smoking is cool, everybody is doing it now. What are you gonna do, tell my mom?”
At this point, The DailyER was forced to stop questioning Green, as we obviously couldn’t tell his mom. Regardless of why East Campus is now smoker friendly, students will once again have the ability of annoying a passerby with their habits.
