How do you convince smokers to stop tossing more than 100,000 cigarette butts a year on an otherwise beautiful college campus?

 

 

Dawgone clever — Katharine Y. Heine of Hazel Crest displays a prototype for an outdoor ashtray designed as part of a class project at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Heine is a senior majoring in visual communication at SIUC, where administrators asked students for creative ideas for campus beautification.

 

Dawgone clever — Art and design majors display a dog paw ashtray they designed as part of a class project at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. University administrators asked students for creative ideas for sprucing up the campus. Shown, from left, are: James Moseman, Pittsburg; Megan Kocher; Erica Burton, Downer’s Grove; and Gregory Denagall Jr.

Real world — Art and design majors listen intently to Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Vice Chancellor for Administration Glenn W. Poshard, who had asked them to design integrated campaigns for sprucing up the campus. Among those answering the call is Danville’s Degaull Vang, seated across from Poshard. Vang contributed three colorful posters that administrators hope to use around campus to convince smokers to put cigarette butts in new student-designed outdoor ashtrays.

Eye-catching action — Joshua Avent of Columbia, Md., displays an arresting anti-litter poster his team designed as part of a class project at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Avent is a senior majoring in visual communication at SIUC, where administrators asked students for creative ideas for campus beautification.
