"Folklore of Student Life" holds the accumulated wisdom and wit of several IU undergraduate classes and of a good many IU undergraduates, all focused upon the folklore -- those shared avenues of creativity and expression -- that is part of the college experience at Indiana University. This website is a joint production of Prof John McDowell and his students in a number of undergraduate classes

Item 1: World made out of cigarette butts
Date: Fall of 1996
The cigarette Earth was created by three students living at Collins Living Learning Center in the Fall of 1996. This entire work is made from cigarette butts that were collected from the courtyard of Collins. It stands as a cry for more careful environmental awareness.
