Winona State filled all possible donation openings at both drives last year, so an additional drive was scheduled this year to allow more students to give blood. The third drive was held earlier last week Sports and was only two days long, Softball team opposed the usual three. Brignull said this drive was ranked No. 5 most likely shorter because, in NCAA "the Red Cross coordinators Region Poll probably thought since it was so close to finals, students might not have much time and would want to use their resources wisely by using the time to prepare and study."

Bluff City Properties, located on Huff St. across from WSU, is 94% rented for the next academic year. There are only three buildings available with three, four, and five bed- rooms. 117 W. Mark, 100 yards from the WSU Library, has five bedroom units for five renters. Each unit has two full bathrooms, free laundry and free parking. Built in 1996, each unit has central air conditioning, a dishwasher and a garbage disposal. Updates include fresh paint, hardwood floors and free flat screen TV in each living room. Current rent is $379 per month plus utilities.
West of campus on Orrin St. (261/263 Orrin) has 3 bedroom townhomes near Westfield Golf Course and about seven blocks west of the WSU West campus. These modem townhomes are very spacious. One of the bedrooms is 20' x 12' with a walk-in closet. There is free parking and each unit has free laundry. Because of the distance to campus, these places are available for as low as $238 per person plus utilities, for five. They are also directly on the city bus line, which stops at Winona State. This year Bluff City is offering to reimburse the /AW 4:Y///,,,x,e&, renters for the cost of yearly parking in a WSU parking lot. The rent for four students is $287.50 per renter. If you desire the luxury of a huge bedroom in a large condo apartment, the rent per person for three renters is still a very reasonable $370.
The only four bedroom apartment still available is at 401 Olmstead, four blocks west of WSU. This apartment features a large open living room with lots of natural light. There is a modern kitchen and four nice sized bedrooms. This place is a very good deal at $364 per student plus utilities. It's certified for five people and one of the bedrooms is big enough for two renters. With five people rent is only $295.
There is still a good selection of one-bedroom and studio/efficiency apartments near WSU. There are openings at Shorty's Greenhouse, one block from the main campus. This private dorm built last summer features a private full bathroom and kitchenette in each unit. Most are quite spacious. This building has secu- rity key card access to the main entrance and you can "buzz in" a visitor. A nice feature about these units is that each one has individual controls for heat and air conditioning. A ceiling fan and lights on dimmer switches provide nice luxury touches. A large, modem Laundromat is one block away. There are also one-bedroom apartments available four blocks from campus, near downtown at the "Historic Parkview Apartments." The Parkview features very spacious rooms and also has security remote access entry. Inexpensive coin laundry is available in the building. There is a sun deck on the roof with great views of Winona, the bluffs, and the river.
Bluff City Properties has a reputation for excellent student rentals. If you want a nice place at a good value for next school year, you may want to start getting serious about making a decision and signing fairly soon. The vast majority of leases in Winona begin on June 1. There are, however, a handful of one-bedroom places with leases beginning in August. The Bluff City (WSYou.com ) office is located across from the University on Huff St. - it has a large purple awning. The office is open every weekday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Appointments for showings may be scheduled online, by phone (call 507-454-4444, or 507-313-8373). Walk-Ins are always welcome and you can drop in anytime without an appointment. The friendly staff are happy to answer all of your questions, and to walk you through the leasing process. They'll even talk with your parents you want them to - but only if you ask. If you don't want to be left "down in the dumps" for the 2010- 2011 academic year, you may want to take care of this chore soon!
4•News Fundraising event raises about $500 for March of Dimes Jenn Holt Winonan
It's a common stigma that fraternities are all parties, all the time. But Winona State University's Pi Lambda Phi fraternity hosted a fundraising event for the March of Dimes Friday in Somsen Auditorium. All proceeds raised during the event were given to the March of Dimes, which aims to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. About $500 was raised through ticket sales and a bake sale. Brent Anderson, Winona State sophomore and Pi Lambda Pi fraternity brother, said this was their first time organizing a concert as a fundraiser. "It's a good cause," Anderson said. "If anything, the concert is raising knowledge about what the March of Dimes is." The concert consisted of five different acts: Adalia, Galactus, Teresa O'Neil, The Right to Arm Bears, and Doshi. Types of music ranged from acoustic, to metal. Winona State student Amy Nick Furlong/Winonan Hahn, familiar with the March Teresa O'Neil performs during the March of Dimes charity concert Friday in Somsen Auditorium. of Dimes organization said, "It was really great to see efforts put towards to fundraising for Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), it's really good that it's getting it is the national philanthropy participate in a future event. the March of Dimes." an inherited disorder that leads recognition and support." of Pi Lambda Phi and it is an Anyone interested in donating Pi Lambda Pi is not required to progressive brain damage," The Pi Lambda Phi fraternity honor for us to be able to help money to the March of Dimes to participate in any charity Anderson said.

Ugh. Another week goes by, and the movie-going public scorns one of the better offerings out, while a kids movie takes box office gold, and mediocrity reigns. Why do we still care about Jennifer Lopez? She can't sing, she can't dance, she certainly can't act, and honestly, I've seen better looking women. Now, Salma Hayek, on the other hand... At this point, all 25 people that read the Winonan (and if you're keeping track, that's at least a five-fold increase from my last estimate) know that I do the movie reviews.
