GRAFFITI

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF COEDS WHO SMOKE? MM
ANSWER: I AM A U OF D COED AND I SMOKE. I FEEL THAT THE FEMALE
STUDENT HAS EVERY BIT AS MUCH A RIGHT TO SMOKE AS THE MALE STUDENT.
I SMOKE 2 AND A HALF PACKS A DAY AND I ASSURE YOU I DO NOT SMOKE THE
BECAUSE THEY ARE A PHALLIC SYMBOL. I SMOKE, LIKE MANY OTHER STUDENT
TO RELIEVE THE TENSION OF EXAMS, TERM PAPERS, ETC. CONSIDERING THAT
OVER 60% OF THE FEMALE POPULATION HERE ON CAMPUS SMOKE (AS SHOWN IN
RECENT SURVEY) THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED "NOT MUCH" ABOVE IS OBVIOUSLY
A WOMAN HATER AND HE HAS AS WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT REALIZED HOW ENJOYABL
A CIGARETTE IS TO A COED WHO IS IMMERSED IN THE STRUGGLE OF STIFF
COLLEGE COMPETITION. HE HAS PROBABLY NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTE IN HI
LIFE. I PERSONALLY BEGAN SMOKING AT THE AGE OF 14. MY PARENTS BOTH
SMOKE AND...GOOD LORD} I'M IN THE WRONG JOHN}
