The evaluation cornmitee met twice --Feb. 8 and Feb, 15, 2008--to go over the proposals. Some ofthe services the committee was looking for from companies included providing supplies in a timely manner as well as suppJying sufficient quantities of all required and recommended books and course materials. They also wanted companies to provide an enhanced selection of current trade, academic, and technical literature. A major factor was JOKIRST dlerdraphoenixesgmail.com The University of Wisconsin-Parkside, III compliance with a state law, recently looked into hiring a new provider for the campus bookstore. The final decision was to hire Valadis Resources as the new provider. Valadis resources had to create a proposal and send it to a review committeee. The committee consisted of Rick Haskey, the Contract Administrator; Rhonda Kimmel, the company's drive to maintain competitive prices compared to other retail outlets in the area. Companies that wished to participate in the evaluation were required to send a typed. securely bound proposal prepared on standard 8.5 inch by j I inch paper. The proposal had to include a cover page, introduction, the company's information, response to technical requirements, cost proposal, and required forms -- an affidavit and designation of confidential and proprietary information. Follett Higher Education Group and Validis Resources were the two proposals for the committee to evaluate. The proposals were rated on a number scale, with 1000 points being a perfect score. Valadis Resources scored 908 points while Follett Higher Education Group (the former bookstore provider) scoring only 742 points. Rick Haskey, a member of the committee, said that Valadis Resources was a better choice than Follett Higher Education Group because "Valadis met the majority of criteria and fulfilled the expectations of the committee. The goal is to create a bookstore service program that meets the needs of a diverse student body, faculty, and staff." Presenting next year's Student President: Ted Ruffalo MOLLIE EGAN tree_fingers99@yahoo.com The next President of Parkside Student Government Association (pSG A) is Theodore Ruffalo, as Tony DuBose's term is up at tbe end of tbe current semester. Currently, Ted is ajunior at the University of Wisconsin- -Parkside, majoring in Political Science with a concentration in Jaw. Ruffalo intends to serve for the "maximum duration, with maximum effectiveness". Prior to and during the elections, Ruffalo got his name out to the student body by posting flyers all around the sebool, writing reminders to vote for him on the sidewalks in chalk, and speaking to student organizations on issues and concerns that are part of his platform. He wanted a personal approach with a strong visual element. As President of PSGA, Ruffalo intends to reinstate the Presidential Council. According to Ted, this would foster student organization interrelations, increase awareness, and open avenues of communication between organizations. Ruffalo wants to maintain 3 "streamline, but comprehensive. Constitution with strong bylaws". Along the same lines. he wants the legislature to be "clear, ccnsise, and user-friendly". Ted aims to follow in current President Tony Dubose's plan for "Major Status Organization criteria evaluation and consideration, through a committee". When asked about the Facebook groups and other anti- Ruffalo material that floated arou nd campus during the election week, he said with laughter "smear campaigns are always unfortunate, but.i.appreciate that students were taking an active interest in Parkside politics." • • A run to raise awareness ROBERT ROSATI robertrosati@hotmail.com MOLLIE EGAN tree_fingers99@yahoo.com A little over two years ago tragedy struck Doug De Vinny, the Interim Associate Provost and art professor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, when his daughter. Alex, passed away at the age of 20. Alex suffered from the eating disorder known as anorexia. which eventually caused her death. Alex was an extraordinary competitor gifted runner and with this in mind, DeVinny's other daughters came up with the idea to "do something to sort of sustain her interest and memory and the idea was to do a ('We~ve got issues" race." Alex was a freshman in high school when her athletic prowess on the track field was evident: she set a record at the Tremper CC (Cross Country) invite in the 4K (kilometers) with a time of 14:04. At the Rebel Invite/Parkside CC Course, a 4K track, she set a record with a time of 13:54. Alex DeVinny set another record, that same year. At the South Milwaukee Invite held at Grant Park, when her time was an incredible 14:16 in a 4K race. She also earned first place in the following events as a high school freshman: Cross country sectional. track and field SE (South East) conference 1600 and 3000M (meters). track and field regional 1600 and 3200M. as well as in a track and field section 1600 and 3200M race. Alex's domination in track and field events continuedduringherjunior year of high school. She won four events that year: the cross country sectional, track and field regional 1600 and 3200M. track and field sectional 3200M, as well as the track and field state meet 3200 M. Alex enjoyed competing in the Lighthonse Run. Alex won the women's 4-mile race in back- to-back years in 2000 and 200 I. In 2001 she set a" course record with a time of 22:39, which still stands to this day. and Alex was posthumously inducted into the Wisconsin Runners Hall of Fame at the race in 2005.

As Bob mentioned last week, I was out of town the weekend of the 19th and 20th. I went on a "mini-vacation", and in case you were wondering, It was a good time. I went on a road trip, saw a few concerts, and had a great time with some friends I don't get to see often. Anyway, I think Ryan Ashton, Josh Diefenbach, Bob The Ranger News Rosati, Ruth, and anyone else who pitched in while I was gone did a wonderfui job, and I thank them for their time and effort. I appreciate everyone stepping up to help make suee the paper was able to be sent to the publisher on time, while at the same time keeping the standard I have set for the paper this semester. Not too long ago, we recieved a new-ish iMac for our designer, Ruth, to use. I was hoping it'd be up and running by this point so she would be able to use the latest software and all that jazz, but unfortunately there is still some work to be done. We're still in the process of getting everything set up the way we need it, and incorporating the computer into our network in the office. My hope is that Ruth will be able to use it at least once before this semester is over. If not, she will be back in fall to use the new iMac and work her magic on the articles, photos, images, and illustrations we collect each week for the paper. THINGS TO DO April 29, 20~ Along with the new computer comes new software for us. We recently upgraded our design software to Adobe Creative Suite 3. Previously, we had been using CS I for our layout. This, unfortunately, bas created some problems when we transfer our files over to our art manager at the publishing company. However, Holly (the art manager) has been patient and helped us through some extra steps to make sure the files all transfer correctly. To think that there are only two more issues left in this semester (not counting this one) is crazy. T still can't wrap my head around the fact that this semester has flown by. I must say, I've learned a lot this semester, and I'm sure I will only learn more (and develop the skills I already have) in the next two years. Yes, you read that right--I intend on sticking around as Editor-in-Chief until I graduate in 2010. I iook forward to working with so many new people, both within and outside of the Ranger News. As we get even closer 10 t~ end of the semester, everyone' schedules seem to fill up rno and more each day. I encourall our staff' members to keep putting forth their absoiute be~ effort into helping us finish thij semester on a high note. I realize that The Ranger News is I volunteer organization, and it is team effort to get the paper outt~ you every Tuesday, but we eeail~ need everyone to contribute asj much and as best as they c~ right up until the end. I tbink that about does it fO<' this week. I hope you all aren\ too stressed out with the en of the semester just around th comer, and I hope you enjoy thi issue!
