Lights

A while back, I noted the conversion of Harcourt Hill into a no-smoking zone, a situation thats fairly unpopular, not least because of the suddenness of its introduction and the threats of disciplinary action issued by Campus Manager Sue Johnson and others.

In the weeks that followed the small wooden smoker’s gazebo was filled with colour photos. Such as,


A Google image search brough them up fairly quickly. Those are all I can find from memory, a few were amusing cartoons along pro-smoking perspectives, and the message ‘Non-smokers welcome’.

These remained up for several weeks before disappearing. In the last month, three or four photos of a rather attractive young lady appeare’d in the ‘hut’, taken from several different angles. Heres some photos I took of the aesthetic work.

Yes, thats the tree behind the smoker’s hut shes sitting in. I’ve also managed to capture the ashtray in its rarely-seen emptied state, I just wish the newly elected SU officers and their oppostion could clear up their posters after them. Those noticeboards are needed for other purposes. One for the encouraging people to vote in SU elections perhaps?

(The most recent issue of OB Scene places voting figures for the last election at around 1000 if I remember rightly)

New up on the link list is Brookes e-learner extra-ordinary David Hopkins with his rather wonderful e-learning bloggery ‘Dont waste your time’also available on Twitter as hopkinsdavid. Student Peter Lewis who put an interesting photo on Twitpic yesterday.
