Construction projects are running smooth, say Winona State University officials. The two biggest projects to date are the construction of the new and improved health center and the new residence halls. Another renovation was also made to the student club office and the Winonan office over winter break. The once cramped and homely room was given a makeover, which opened up the area, allowing much more profitable use of the space provided. "There was a survey sent to students asking what they needed, and the most pressing issue seemed to be the need for more space," said Tracy Rahim, associate director of student activities and leadership. The entire space was given new flooring, a new paint job and the old walls were replaced and repositioned. Rahim said that the room does not have an official name yet. "We are trying to decide on Jake RajewskyiWnonan a good name for the room, so Construction continues Thursday on Winona State University's Integrated Wellness Center, to be completed this fall.

The smoking ban is near its one-year anniversary, and the idea is still being questioned. The ban prohibits smoking on any property owned by Winona State University. This ban came into effect at the beginning of the spring semester last year and has mixed ratings even now. Cindy Killion, a Mass Communication professor and smoker, thinks of the smoking ban as "discrimination," and believes that "the university could have taken a different ,f;%"•7:/TA approach [to ending mass smoking on campus]." Killion expresses that while she doesn't have a problem smoking outside, a knee injury she suffers from makes it difficult for her to go to the edge of campus to smoke like other campus smokers do. According to Killion, she'll "every once in awhile" see, mostly students, smoking cigarettes on campus but she "doesn't want to give [non- smokers] any problems" by smoking around them herself. Killion stresses is there should be a "designated place Lauren Robertson/Winonan for smokers on campus" so The Winona State University smoking ban has been in effect that they may not interfere with for one year this semester. non-smokers but still retain about smoking, [whoever is the wouldn't smoke, he respects their rights. source] is asked to leave." non-smokers enough to avoid Other members of the Winona In Ruka's experience, since them while he does so. r State community have different the beginning of the smoking Even though it's his first 20% OFF with this coupon! views on the subject. ban on Jan. 12, 2009, mostly week at Winona State, Nicosia Michael Ruka, a sophomore students have been caught was aware of the smoking ban Pashmina Scarves, Minnesota Mittens Winona State security guard smoking on school property. before he came here and hasn't Register for a pair of Chanel Earrings! is glad there is a decrease in Some smokers believe that tried to smoke on campus.

Ah, Dystopia, how I've missed you. After a holiday season full of dysfunctional relationships, oscar bait, and James Cameron blockbusters, another meditation on the inherent animal nature of man was just what the doctor ordered. To quote the late Bill Hicks, "We're a virus with shoes..." and "The Book of Eli" sticks to that principle pretty closely. Following the exploits of Eli (Denzel Washington), surprisingly, we're introduced to a world where some unseen conflict destroyed the world almost entirely 30 years before the story starts. From what little is mentioned, there was a great war, and the weapons "tore a hole in the sky," leaving Earth a massive, scarred desert where ash rains on a semi-regular basis. Eli wanders the Earth, like any good character in a dystopian wasteland, looking for something that is never explained — only that it is to the west — killing Mr. © Warner Brothers Bigglesworth, and mutilating In "The Book of Eli", Denzel Washington must protect a bible-like book from hordes of hillbillies in a post- scores of hillbillies who would apocalyptic world, while he travels ever westward in search of something that is never fully explained. kill and eat him.
