Ashley Halstead, a sophomore at UW-Madison, was up early two weeks ago chalking. Members of Colleges Against Cancer drew chalk lines 25 feet from several major campus buildings for National Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November. This is the distance one must be from a university building to be smoking a cigarette. Halstead dusted the pink chalk off on her jeans, avoiding her new t-shirt, which proudly declared â??I Put Outâ??Cigarettes.â? After a long day of chalking and classes, Halstead went to study at College Library. She sat at a desk in the café, stretched and rolled up her sleeves.
