ID suddenly required for late WSU dorm accessWINONA, Minn., Jan. 29, 2002 -- Once was that Winona State students wanting back into their dorms at night could just rattle off the Social Security number at the front desk. No more. In a major policy change triggered by the theft of 560 students' Social Security numbers late Friday, university Vice President Cal Winbush issued an directive that students must "present a valid Winona State University identification card at after hours check-in." The change is effective Wednesday. Winbush's announcement came on legal advice that the former procedures, which constituted lax safeguarding of private information, was contrary to federal legal requirements.

Smart move: Let Frisbee sit on thin iceWINONA, Jan. 29, 2002 -- Corey Quade was tossing Frisbees with Winona State University friends down at Lake Winona on Sunday when he saw a dog bound across the ice toward some ducks and crash through. Then he saw the dog's owner, Ted Boucher, inch his way out on the thin ice to retrieve the dog, a fox terrier named Max. "I couldn't believe it," Quade said. "I don't think I would have the courage to do something like that. Moments earlier Quade had inadvertently tossed a Frisbee onto the partially frozen lake. He decided to let it go. It was beyond the thin-ice warning signs. "The signs were enough to persuade me," Quade said. "Poor Max couldn't read them."

WSU posts $500 reward for stolen rosterWINONA, Minn., Jan. 29, 2002 -- A $500 reward will be paid to anyone who provides information that leads to recovering a roster of Winona State students living in the Lourdes dorm, university Vice President Calvin Winbush said. The 50-page roster, in an 8-1/2 by 11-inch blue binder, was stolen from the dorm's front desk as a crowd of students at a formal dance were leaving Friday night. Why the reward? In a campuswide email message at 4:52 p.m., Tuesday, 3-1/2 days after the theft,Winbush did not mention that the roster includes the Social Security numbers of 560 students who live in Lourdes. The university could be liable in civil suits, conceivably for millions of dollars, if the Social Security numbers are used to establish illegal credit card accounts in their names or for any other deleterious purpose. Under federal law, the university is obligated to keep Social Security numbers, from public disclosure.

WSU seeks donors for science buildingWINONA, Minn., Jan. 29, 2002 -- Although most Winona State University's campaign for state funding for a new science complex has received most of the attention, a quiet effort for private funding has also been making progress, said sciences Dean Nancy Jannik. Besides government funding, the science faculty, Jannik explained, "have been trying to optimize any type of funds they may receive. We've already received some equipment grant funds, and that equipment was to prepare us to go into the new building." Private donations will also give life to the new building. "There will be private donations for certain things -- those are the things that usually make it real nice at the end," she said.

Mayor hears idea for tighter Keg LawWINONA, Minn., Jan. 29, 2002 -- A Winona landlord, Bill Baker, is floating an idea for a tighter city Keg Law targeted at college partying. At a forum sponsored by Mayor Jerry Miller, Baker suggested that anyone buying a beer keg first pick up a city permit. At loud parties, cops could ticket whoever is throwing the party if a permit is missing. In a provision aimed squarely at college students, Baker said renters would need the landlord's permission to obtain a permit. How about the hassle of picking up a permit at City Hall? Baker called it a minor inconvenience. As a practical matter, for responsible people who don't throw wild parties, nobody would ever know if they didn't have a permit.
WSU to offer reward for missing data bookWINONA, Minn., Jan. 29, 2002 -- The Winona State University vice president in charge of dorms, Calvin Winbush, confirmed that a student directory with Social Security numbers was missing from the Lourdes dorm.

The goal is "to encourage students to become more familiar with the Mac platform," said Teff. "It has been done at two or three other schools and has been pretty successful." Entries, ranging from three to 10 minutes, are being produced by groups of at least three people. Digital video cameras, supplies, training and technical support are available, Teff said. Contestants must do their editing on Apples.
