From today's Campus Watch crime report:
Smoking Tobacco in a Building (Garrison Hall)
A UT professor was found smoking a cigarette in their office, which is a violation of state law. The professor said they were "too busy to step outside." Occurred on 2-5-04 at 9:20 pm.
Gotta love that gender-neutral "their/they" thing going on. One of our professors used to smoke in his office all the time after the smoking-inside ban went into affect. The second he'd light up, my office would start to smell like smoke. It was strange because his office is way down at the other end of the hall. And, you couldn't smell the smoke in any of the other offices in between. There is definitely something weird going on with our ventilation system and it took us several weeks to find the source of the smoke. He denied lighting up until we figured out what was happening and caught him in the act three or four times. Now, he goes outside.
