If you go to University of North Texas, keep an eye out for The Hug Squad.

They park themselves outside the BLB at Highland Street. They’re easy to spot from the Library Mall.

They give out free hugs, high fives, fist bumps, positive words and vibes, pretty much anything you need to get through the day.

They usually appear on Wednesdays.

Students Continue Smoking on UNT Campus Despite Ban

 Mary Murphy         The University of North Texas implemented a campus-wide smoking ban two and a half years ago, but it still hasn’t dissuaded some students from smoking on campus.     Students have been seen smoking cigarettes directly outside of UNT buildings, sometimes as soon as they get out of class. Occasionally, a lone smoker can be found on the library mall, or walking to their next class in a crowd of people.     “Sometimes [smokers] move to secluded areas,” said Vanessa Hill, a Senior finance major at UNT. “You can still catch a few people smoking here and there, mostly around the language building.”     Smokers also tend to congregate by the BLB, dorm buildings, and a few bus stops, students said. People smoke on campus because it’s inconvenient to walk all the way off campus to have a cigarette, according to Mason Smith, a sophomore at UNT.     Most students on campus agree that the smoking ban is not “well-enforced”, but what most do not realize is that the smoking ban is meant to be enforced by the students themselves. The ban does not allow the university to reprimand students for smoking on campus unless they are less than 25 feet away from a door.    “The university’s stance is that we’re a smoke-free campus, but there are no sanctions” said Adam Alattry, the president of the Student Government Association. “There’s nothing the university can do if someone is smoking on campus, it’s just frowned upon.”     Alattry continued to say that students are called to reprimand their fellow students instead of faculty and staff enforcing the ban. Some students said they do remind smokers that it’s a smoke-free campus, but some said they just hold their breath until they are past the puff cloud.    “I’ve had maybe a student or two tell me, ‘Hey, you know you can’t smoke here’”, said Sarah Antinone, a Junior at UNT who smokes. “I’ve had way more students come up to me and ask me to bum a cigarette,” she said, laughing.      Now, students say they may see people smoking in certain areas regularly, such as outside of the language building, but the amount of students smoking while walking to class has decreased.     “[Before the smoking ban], students smoked wherever,” said Alexis Young, a Senior who experienced UNT pre-smoking ban. “The ban’s kind of stupid, but it’s also kind of beneficial because [before,] you would be walking with someone and they’d be smoking and they’d blow it in your face.”      Although some students still choose to smoke on campus, now there are fewer who choose to do so around large groups of students. Instead, smokers tend to find private areas, or smoke their cigarettes in these makeshift ‘smoking areas’ on the outskirts of campus.      “I try to be considerate,” said Antinone. “I’ll try to distance myself, because I know the smell is going to bother other people, but I’m still going to smoke because I want to smoke.”
