Dear Editor,
With all the new rules and regulations at ETSU blossoming spring semester, once unknown woes are starting to form in my head.
I have fully decided that I will not be buying a parking pass in the fall. I really have no reason to buy one because I live just across the street from ETSU. I will just simply ride an outdated woman’s bike that I found in my shed to campus every day.
The real problem is that I am a smoker. I hate that I smoke just as much as the “clean lungs” on campus do but I am not ready to kick the habit just yet.
So without having a car on campus I won’t have a place to smoke at ETSU. Does this mean I should walk to the edge of campus after each class to light up?
Or can I take the “right to smoke in your vehicle policy” liberally and just sit on my bike, at the free bike rack, and enjoy my fulfilling cigarette?
I seriously doubt my life on campus will be that easy in the fall. Hopefully after this letter is printed, ETSU will not get the idea to charge for the bike racks, but it would not surprise me.
– John McMeen
