As
the
students
at
the
University
of
Wisconsin-
Parkside
have
probably
noticed,
the
wireless
network
that
Parkside
currently
provides
is not
,
,
meeting
the
demand
the
students
place
on
it.
The
Parks
ide
Student
Government
Association
(PSGA)
has
taken
note
of
this,
and
is
working
with
the
Computer
Science
Club
(CSC)
to
come
up
with
some
solutions
to
this
problem.
"President
Ruffalo
feels

are

Practical,

Earlier
this
year,
University
of
Wisconsin-System
Library
Directors
collaboratively
SUbmitted
a
budget
request
(known
as
a
Decision
Item
Narrative
or
DIN)
to
the
UW-
System
Budget
Office
to
be
COnsidered
as
part
of
a
2009-
iOl.l
. UW-System-wide
budget
nllialive.
This
proposal,
called
Advantage
Wisconsin:
Growing
~e
Research
Infrastructure
9
ibrary
Component),
sks-tbar
million
dollars
be
allocated
to
~
UW-System
Libraries
for
purposes
of
expanding
the
~h
infrastructures
of
all
the
-SYstem
lihraries-
including
p
Umversity
of
Wisconsin-
arkside.
These
funds,
should
they
be
~anted,
will
primarily
be
used
t~
expand
electronic
resources
~ughout
the
libraries
in
the
fe
-SYstem.
One
important
th:~re
111
this
initiative
is
that
Ibrary
funds
wouid
provide
these
suggestions
would
be
a
detriment
to
all
students
and
faculty
at
Parkside,
both
now
and
in
the
near
future,"
states
a
press
release
written
by
Michael
Riedlinger,
the
Public
Relations
Director
for
PSGA.
According
to
the
report
compiled
by
the
CSc.
tbere
are
"relatively
few
access
points,
and
several
[or
the
access
points]
have
,
stability
issues".
The
majority
of
the
Communication
Arts
building
does
not
have
any
wireless
access,
and
several
Computer
Science
classrooms
also
lack
wireless
Internet.
The
CSC
feels
that
every
classroom
should
have
Internet
access,
so
that
students
can
"easily
download
a copy
of
their
syllabi
from
D2L,
check/submit
assignments,
and
do
research."
In
addition
to·
connectivity
being
sporadic,
the
UW-P
wireless
network
is
also
very
slow.
"The
campus
is currently
limiting
traffic
on
the
wireless
network
... Traffic
limiting
causes
the
wireless
network
to be
unusable",
the
CSC
report
explains.
The
classrooms
on
campus
with
hardwired
Internet
connections
have
a
speed
of
IOMbps
(megabits
per
second),
whereas
the
Computer
Science
Department
has
a
connection
speed
of
IOOOMbps.
"This
creates
a bottleneck
for
the
wireless
network
as
well,
because
the
campus
wired
network
is
often
slow
during
the
day.
This
problem
is also
due
to
the
current
networking
equipment's
inability
to
satisfy
the
Current
demand
from
students,"
according
to
the
report.
Most
of
the
wireless
access
points
on
campus
are
far
slower
than
what
the
current
consumer
market
uses,
at
II Mbps.
This
is
a problem
because
students
have
to
sbare
the
available
bandwidth.
If
UW-Parkside
upgraded
their
hardware,
the
wireless
network
would
be
accessible
in
more
places,
move
faster,
and
would
be
more
reliable.
How
does
the
CSC
suggest
UW-Parkside
resolve
this
issue?
The
report
suggests
replacing
the
current
access
points.
"Most
Parkside
classrooms
currently
have
an
Ethernet
drop,
therefore
it
would
be
simple
and
inexpensive
to
buy
consumer
hardware
for
high-traffic
rooms
and
areas
...
An
added
advantage
of
this
would
be
that
replacements
would
be
simple
and
inexpensive
continued
on poge

request
funds
to
expand
electronic
all
UW-System
faculty
access
to
all
of
the
University
of
Wisconsin-Madison's
electronic
resonrces-a
feature
that
should
keep
university
researchers
up
to
date
with
state
of
the
art
information
and
technology.
It
is
also
expected
that
this
increased
versatility
in
electronic
resources
will
attract
high
caliber
faculty
members
to
institutions
like
UW-
Parkside,
These
high
caliber
researchers,
coupled
with
the
proposed
technological
advances,
should
expand
opportuntues
for
bothJJW-l'arkside
and
otleer
UW-
System
students
to
participate
in
cutting-edge
research.
This
initiative
is
especially
important
for
the
smaller
UW-
System
institutions
like
UW-
Parkside.
Electronic
resources,
as
they
continue
to
become
mo~e
viral
for
competitive
academic
research,
are
also
becoming
increasingly
expensJ:e.
According
to
~-Parkslde
Library
Director
Vanaja
Menon,
some
electronic
resources
have
increased
their
annual
....
.,
••
'
1f
I
f
subscription
rates
as
much
as
40
percent
in
one
year,
which
puts
heavy
financial
strain
on
UW-
Parkside's
library
budget.
Given
the
high
cost
of
these
electronic
resources,
smaller
institutions
simply
do
not
have
the
financial
resources
necessary
to
keep
up
"We've
got
issues"
with
industry
trends.
Menon
also
pointed
out
that
the
UW-System
Libraries
have
not

So...here
we
are.
Second-last
issue
of the semester.
I've
said
this
before,
but
it's so hard
to
believe.
I don't
know
where
this
year
went
,
honestly.
J
started
working
at The
Ranger
News
last semester
as a copy
editor,
got
bumped
up to Executive
Editor
(to be trained
to be Editor-in-
Chief
next
schooi
year),
and
by
The Ranger
News
May
6,
2008
e time
this
semester
started,
I
was
Editor-in-Chief.
It
sounds
cliche,
I know,
but it does
seem
like just
yesterday
that
I walked
into this office
as a somewhat
shy
kid wanting
to get involved
on
campus.
Since
then,
I've
really
come
out of my sbell.
I've
sharpened
my
skills
at probiem
solving
and
making
decisions
on tbe fly
(for
the times
where
I have
iittle
information
to go off of).
I'm
better
at speaking
in front
of a
group,
and
speaking
to people
I
don't
know.
I
am better
at asking
for help,
even
though
I still think
I can do everytbing
myself.
And
while
I admit
J
have
a temper,
working
here
and
dealing
with
some
frustrating
moments
has
actually
helped
me
keep
it in
check
better
than
I used
to be able
to.
I'm
more
organized,
and
T
try
and stay
on top of everything
as
best
I
can.
I
am
more
motivated
to get
work
done,
regardless
of whether
it's school
work
or
newspaper
work.
I know
there's
still
ways
I
can
improve,
though.
r
need
to
THINGS
TO DO
work
on the way
I conduct
our
staff
meetings
every
week--I
try
to keep
them
lighthearted,
but
serious
enough
that
everything
gets
accomplished.
I think
I can
strike
a better
balance
between
the two,
however.
I'm
sure
our
staff
meetings
could
be
more
productive,
and
it's up to
me
to
find
a way
to make
them
that
way.
The
long
hours
on weekends
(yes,
I and several
others
do work
on the
weekends!)
have
been
grueling
at times,
but
I think
they've
paid
off. [ am happy
with
the way
the paper
has improved
this semester,
and I look
forward
to seeing
what
next
semester
brings
us. You
may
think
"well,
once
school's
over,
she'll
have
a
break".
Not entirely
true,
as much
as you and I both
wish
it were.
We
are moving
to the Student
Union
at some
point
in the near
future,
so we have
to pack
up our office
supplies
in order
for the move.
I'm
working
on putting
together
a staff
handbook,
creating
both
documents
from
scratch
and
incorporating
pieces
from
our
older
staff
handbook.
The
constitution
needs
some
revision
as well.
[' II be coming
up with
story
ideas
for our first fall issue
and ideas
to use for the rest of the
fall semester.
The
Ranger
News
never
really
stops
functioning,
school
or no school.
The
only
time
it
actually
stops
is when
peopie
(either
the staff
or the students
who
read
it) stop
caring
about
it.
I made
this letter
more
about
me than
I intended,
but I think
that's
okay.
Self-reflection
is a
good
thing,
right?
Next
week's
letter
will
be more
about
OUf
staff,
especially
those
who
are
graduating,
than
myself
and what
I've
learned
as Editor-in-Chief.
Until
then,
enjoy
the issue
(it's
another
16 pages,
which
i
think
is
absolutely
amazing!),
and
enjoy
the last week
of classes!
