Ali Vincent just barely beat the clock in the race to achieve the perfect bikini body for the season. The thirty-three-year-old hairstylist from Arizona became the first female to win "The Biggest Loser," after losing 112 pounds.

It's traditional this time of year, when many of you are about to leave the comforting embrace of the university community and head off into what we euphemistically call the "real world," for those of us with more than 21 or 22 years under our belts (or wherever we keep them - pesky things, those years, which is probably something you should remember but no doubt won't, human beings being what they are) to offer some glimmerings of advice.

Four years ago, I wrote in The Surveyor, my high-school newspaper, of my time spent at George Washington Senior High School. I remembered fondly the teachers, peers, and experiences of my high school career.
Don't expect the same in this column.

It's time to make this campus healthy for everyone
I feel as though it is time to readdress the idea of making this campus smoke-free. Walking to class with smoke in my face from the person ahead is not my choice. Walking out of class into a cloud of smoke from the people 15 feet away from the entry to the building is not my choice.

After finishing unloading the contents of my mom's Honda CR-V into my old RCA dorm room before my freshman year, my parents sent me on my way somewhat nonchalantly and quietly cheered their way back to the Twin Cities as they celebrated finally completing their 31-year sentence of having kids in their home.

Wasn't it great to see the good folks of Clean Air for Everyone out gaily skipping along the riverbank, celebrating the coming statewide smoking ban?
Heartwarming.
Even a curmudgeonly cynic such as me could take joy in their joy. Or their glee. Or their whatever.

Rec renovations
It's sour grapes to complain about a campuswide vote fairly lost. It's a journalistic prerequisite to dissect a referendum that was done without integrity. Since the Board of Regents approved the student fee increase, it's crucial that we're vigilant about dissecting the latter.

One week shy of Earth Day, the Stalnaker Executive Council decided to abolish the recycling program. This wouldn't be such a big deal if they had a reason for it, but upon asking members of the EC, I found that they didn't. Not only is this a serious breach of the responsibilities of the EC, what kind of example does this set?
When I asked members of the EC why they stopped doing recycling, I got long winded answers about how it took too long, and it was too hard to separate the recycling, which is basically just laziness in so many words.

This is an article about my penis; my dong, my member, my frank and beans. Because of censorship and not to upset too many readers, I will refer to my penis by its nickname for the rest of this article. That nickname is President George.
George first came into power about eight years ago.

If you are like me, you are pretty mad that global warming has decided to forsake us folks here in Ames this winter. I'm not a big fan of cold weather, but I can handle it. The only thing I can't handle is gas bills during cold weather. They really ruin your day.

The recent school shootings across the country have brought about many questions about school security. If the students cannot be protected by the university, do they have the right to protect themselves?

With the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel's founding coming on May 14, it is essential to remind ourselves of the situation in the Middle East, which seems to ebb and flow toward peaceful resolution every day. Our consciences - collective and individual - demand that we pay attention to the world around us and demand action for change.

The only thing more satisfying in life than bearing witness to one's success is to watch them ultimately crash and burn. That's precisely why we have "American Idol," the only current TV show that receives equal attention on both sides of the talent fence. It's far more entertaining to see contestants verbally stoned by rapid-firing judges than it is to share in the fairytale ending of the champion.

Pope? Fine by me.
I am a firm believer in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that creates a wall of separation between church and state. I do not believe that the government should endorse any particular religion, but we all know that this is not the case.

So it goes: another year of Minnesota State University history made, the institution's 149th academic year coming to a close.
It's been a pleasure covering the 2007-08 school year. We've tried to report campus life with integrity, responsibility and accuracy.
